Chapter 1520


    When Bianca returned home, anxiety washed over her. She realized the final mayoral election was just


    a week away. If there was explosive news now, everyone’s attention would be diverted. It had to


    involve Lena!


    After some pondering, Bianca smirked, feeling sly and triumphant. She picked up her phone and quietly


    arranged a meeting with a journalist.


    –


    They sat In a secluded corner of a cafe. Bianca wore arge hat, almost concealing her face. The


    journalist sat opposite her,zily stirring his coffee, but his ears were alert.


    “Do you know Mr. Patton’s granddaughter is missing?” she asked. “This isn’t just a child disappearing.


    It was a nned abduction.”


    The journalist tapped his recording pen. “Ms. Mosley, please tell me what you know. I’ll release the


    information as you want after reviewing it.”


    “Naturally.” Bianca smiled with satisfaction. “I know the one who kidnapped the Chriss heiress is a


    student from the charity school project, acting on Lena Harding’s orders!”


    The journalist’s hand holding the recording pen trembled, his grip involuntarily tightening.


    –


    Lina anxiously paced by the doorway while Drake remained locked inside, refusing to speak no matter


    her questioning.


    Nichs couldn’t bear to see his daughter so anxious and considered using their old methods through


    Ian to handle Drake. But Lina stopped him.


    The current Thompsons were legitimate business people—violent methods from their past no longer fit.


    Lina convinced Nichs to leave and contemted her next move.


    Suddenly, Evelyn rushed over.


    “Miss, look at this!” Evelyn handed her a phone.


    A shocking news article read: [Shocking Scandal From Patton’s Charity School: Manager and Student


    Involved in Human Trafficking!]


    Lina’s heart leaped to her throat as Lena’s pictures were in the article.


    “Don’t worry, Ms. Pam,” Evelyn said softly. “This news hasn’t gone public. It’s only on my phone. We


    intercepted it.”


    Lina nodded. “What’s the story?”


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    “We have contacts in the news stations,” Evelyn said. “They recognized Lena. A journalist passed this


    material to their superior.”


    “Who contacted that journalist?”


    Evelyn smiled and produced the recording pen from her pocket. “You’ll understand when you listen,


    Ms. Pam.”


    The recorded conversation was brief, and Lina listened swiftly. The voice was all too familiar.


    Lina sneered. Bianca was trying to divert attention and escape this way.


    If this news got out, it wouldn’t just tarnish Lena’s reputation but would also implicate Harold.


    Lina took a deep breath and entered Drake’s room. Heyzily on the floor but sat up as soon as he


    saw her.


    “M-Ms. Thompson!”


    Lina sat in a chair beside him and smiled faintly. She exuded authority like a queen, with the window


    behind her casting a regal light.
