“Fine, I came to Yanam to look for something, but I’m not interested in causing any unnecessary trouble,” replied Gerald before turning to face the door again. “T-then I’ll-” However, before Carter could even finish his sentence, Gerald had already walked out. Still, since Gerald had clarified that he wasn’t here to cause trouble, Carter couldn’t help but feel slightly relieved. As long as he didn’t go out on his way to offend him, then Gerald wouldn’t be an issue for Yanam… Regardless, Gerald soon made it to the guest rooms—that wasn’t too far from Carter’s office—where the others already were. Though the term ‘guest room’ had been used, the truth was, Carter had booked one of the more luxurious hotels in Yanam for them. Since the place was usually reserved for important people from overseas, if one didn’t have the right connections, then they wouldn’t be able to stay there, even if they had the money. Either way, the others were eating at the moment Gerald entered the room. S

“I… Don’t know…” muttered Aiden, clearly conflicted about the whole matter. While he wasn’t sure if he really liked her, he did feel great unease the second his superior told him that Lindsay had gone missing. After all, his first reaction was to update Gerald about this despite the ungodly hour! “If that’s the case, remind your superiors that you’re currently on vacation and tell them to send someone else to save her. If you’re not serious about her, then stay with me. I’ll need all the help I can get,” replied Gerald as he looked out the window. “But… Miss Lawrence could be in danger…” said Aiden. While he would normally prioritize Gerald, the thought that Lindsay was locked up by the Grubbs was making him hesitate. However, Aiden was also worried that if he rushed over, he could potentially ruin things… “Hmm? Didn’t you say you disliked her?” replied Gerald with a laugh. Gerald, for one, knew Aiden well enough to know that if he didn’t care about Lindsay, he wouldn’t have come

While the journey to the Grubb manor should’ve taken three hours at most, it ended up extending to five hours due to the torrential rain. With that said, it was near noon by the time they got to the manor... After parking the car, Gerald checked his phone and saw that Master Ghost had seen his message. Pleased that Master Ghost had also said that he would relay the message to the others, Gerald was about to leave the car when he suddenly noticed a servant running toward him with an umbrella. Outstretching his hand—that was holding onto a folded umbrella—, the servant then asked, “Good day, sir. May I know why you’re here?” “I’m looking for Mr. Grubb to discuss something,” replied Gerald as he took the umbrella and opened it. Once Aiden was under Gerald’s umbrella as well, the servant smiled before asking, “Pardon me, but which Mr. Grubb could you be referring to?” Aside from the live-in son-in-law and the daughter-in-law, most of the people living there were Grubbs. “Lucia

“Go on,” replied Gerald as he momentarily looked at the heavy rain outside… “Well… I’m sure you know of my adopted son, Frey, right? You see, it’s been ages since I’ve last seen him… He seems to have just vanished into thin air! It doesn’t help that as far as I know, he didn’t have any disputes with my other family members. With that said, I was wondering if you had bumped into him…” muttered Lucian with a slight frown. In his search for Frey, not only had Lucian searched every nook and cranny of his manor, but he had even gone to all the places Frey usually went to. Hell, aside from meeting up with Frey’s friends, he had also used all his connections to locate his son to no avail even after two entire months… “Frey?” asked Gerald in a calm tone, though honestly, he couldn’t help but feel sad for Lucian. After all, he had killed Frey back in that cave, and Gerald was pretty sure that not even Frey’s ashes remained. Still, to think that Lucian—the mighty master of the Grubb family

From the looks of it, the heavy rain wasn’t stopping any time soon… “Should we ask the members of the Grubb family then?” asked Aiden as he fished his phone out, fully prepared to contact his superior. “Let’s do a thorough investigation here first. Still, if she isn’t in the manor, then this incident is definitely much more complicated than what we initially imagined… The Grubbs may have either been afraid of the other party—which would explain why they’ve remained quiet about it—, or there’s just some other reason we’re not seeing yet,” replied Gerald as he placed his hands against the windowsill while staring outside… “The Grubbs truly are an interesting bunch… Lindsay’s gone missing yet they still refuse to reveal it! Are they only going to be satisfied once something bad happens?” growled Aiden as he slammed his fist against a table, wondering what Lindsay was experiencing right now. If she ended up getting defiled by someone like Frey, Aiden wasn’t against murdering the culp
