Chapter 1560
Seeing Chris’ restless expression, Fleur smiled at Sasha and gave her hand a reassuring pat. “Lenny,
stay here for a moment. I’ll check the kitchen.”
“Madam Hamerton, you…” Sasha was taken aback. Was this elegantdy, who rarely got her hands
dirty, actually cooking for Lena?
“Don’t you adore my deep-fried fish the most? I’ve made one today, and I must show you my culinary
skills!”
Sasha’s face lit up, and she eagerly agreed with Fleur.
Fleur maintained her smile and called out to Chris, “Son,e to the kitchen and lend me a hand!”
Unable to contain his excitement, Chris followed Fleur out of the living room.
Although Sasha was now alone in the living room, she felt at ease. She nced around, taking in the
grandeur of the Hamerton estate, which exceeded her expectations.
Splendor Mountain was firmly under the Hamerton family’s domain, with most of the rtives residing
in this area. Marco’s residence upied the most picturesque corner of the estate. Chris had his own
separate dwelling, but he usually stayed with his parents.
Sasha leisurely explored the spacious living room. She had heard about Marco’s appreciation for
traditional arts and antiques, and the family boasted an extensive collection. As she admired the
exquisite pieces of jade and ceramics on disy, each showcasing elegant designs and color
coordination, she realized they were likely priceless.
If she did indeed marry Chris, considering he was Marco’s only son, would all these treasures
eventually be hers?
Sasha grinned, envisioning a future of wealth and prosperity.
Meanwhile, Fleur swiftly entered a soundproof secret chamber after leaving the living room. She closed
the door and turned her attention to her anxious son.
“Mom—”
Before Chris could finish his sentence, Fleur raised her hand, signaling him to keep quiet.
“I already know,” she said gravely. “This is truly strange.”

When had she ever prepared deep-fried fish for Lena? Also, the Hamertons typically served braised
Sterlet Sturgeon to their guests. With Lena visiting so frequently, how could she not be aware of that?
“Mom, Lenny is definitely in danger!” Chris urgently eximed. “I’ve had a strange feeling these past
two days! Lenny… Something must have happened to her! I need to rescue her!”
“Can you please calm down for a moment?” Fleur looked at her son with a hint of disdain. “You’re a
former special forces soldier, and you’re acting so impulsively? Were you this impetuous during
missions as well? You’ve encountered significant challenges. How can you ce your faith in
superstitious signs like a strange feeling?”
“Mom!”
“I understand that this ‘Lenny’ is strange…”
“She’s not Lenny!” Chris practically shouted.
From his initial suspicion to his current certainty, he berated himself for taking nearly an entire day.
Who knew what could have transpired during that time for Lena?
He couldn’t afford to wait any longer—he had to rescue her!
Chris abruptly opened a drawer in the secret room, revealing a small pistol that Fleur had used in the
past. He skillfully loaded it and was about to rush out when Fleur stopped him.
“Chris, what are you doing!” Fleur eximed. “Calm down!”
“How am I supposed to calm down?!”
“We haven’t even unraveled what’s happening yet. What’s the use of you rushing out recklessly?”
Chris panted heavily, locking eyes with Fleur. Gradually, his rationality returned.
“I know you’re anxious, but we can’t rush into this,” Fleur stated firmly. “If she truly is Lenny, your
impulsive actions will only frighten her. And if she’s not… then she undoubtedly has Lenny with her.
What you’re doing now will alert her!”
“You’re right.” Chris bit his lip.
“Don’t worry, Chris!” Fleur smirked. “Leave this to me. Whoever she is, I’ll make her reveal her true
identity!”
