Chapter 856 The Devastated Vince
As Vanya revealed the truth, the heavy burden in her heart lifted. Over the years, she hade to
acknowledge the countless wrongs she hadmitted and the sins she had umted. Although
her body was ruined, the fact that she could escape with her life was an unexpected oue. In
the end, Chloe proved to be kind-hearted.
"Do you have any way to prove what you’re saying?" Lucas asked, rubbing his face that still stung
from the p.
"They can do a DNA test."
Lucas hesitated for a moment, realizing that a test would indeed provide rity. He felt foolish for
even asking such an obvious question.
"Find me a piece of paper and a pen. I''ll draw theyout and structure of Duskfall."
Knowing Joseph would inevitably confront Duskfall in the future, it was crucial to be well-prepared.
Familiarity with the enemy''syout could be the key to victory. However, she was uncertain whether
the mechanisms within Duskfall had changed in the five years that had passed.
"Sure."
Fifteen minutester, Vanya handed the sketched diagram to Lucas. Her eyes were filled with
gratitude as she said, "Thank you."
Lucas cast a sidelong nce at her and stowed away the paper. "It''s about time to board. Go
ahead."
He could notpletely trust this information. There was a possibility that Vanya had malicious
intentions and had provided incorrect facts about the mechanisms. It was dangerous and he could
not afford to be careless. After all, the dangers of Duskfall were far greater than he could imagine.
"Ladies and gentlemen, your flight is about to take off. Please take your seats promptly," the sweet
voice of a flight attendant rang out.
With anticipation in her heart, Vanya boarded the ne and waved at Lucas. "Goodbye."

Once outside the airport, Lucas immediately called Joseph, but he remained unreachable. Lucas’
heart skipped a beat and a sense of unease began to creep over him as he remembered how
hastily and anxiously Vince had left.

Lucas had an unwavering trust in Joseph. He believed that there was nothing in the world that could
truly trouble Joseph. Joseph looked like a born ruler, always inplete control of everything. But
when Vince called him, Lucas knew that something grave had happened to Joseph.
"I can''t find Mr. Joseph. The scene is in chaos. There are two wrecked cars. I suspect Duskfall''s
people were trying to destroy evidence," Vince said, his rough voice choking as if he were a child.
"Right now, we can only assume the worst as the site is at the edge of the cliff.”
Lucas'' mouth hung open, his mind a nk te. He wanted to console Vince, but he knew that
there was no way one could survive falling off a cliff while injured, especially on a secluded
mountain road where malicious acts could easily bemitted.
After a long silence, Lucas finally regained his voice and asked, "Have you searched every inch of
the mountain road? Could there be some areas you overlooked?"
"There''s not a single trace of anyone here." Vince stood at the edge of the cliff, tears streaming
down his face. "I''m useless. I failed to protect Mr. Joseph."
His hair was tousled by the wind and he felt an urge to jump down. If he could not protect Joseph,
what was the point of living?
"We should focus on positive possibilities. Mr. Joseph is lucky and resilient. Maybe he''s just badly
injured and hiding."
"Yes... You''re right…" Vince sniffled, trying to hold his tears back. "I''ve already informed Mr. Callum
about the situation. He advised you to make arrangements within thepany and not let outsiders
detect anything."
"I understand. I''ll head back to thepany now."
Lucas calmed himself and headed back to Fairlight. Upon his return, he was greeted by two familiar
faces that had not been seen in years. Preston and Jonathan were sitting boldly in the CEO''s office.
They were shouting at the finance director. "Give us 1.5 million dors now! We need it!"
