Chapter 468


    Staring at the pile of belongings at the doorstep, Gabby felt her icy heart thaw for the first time. She had been disillusioned with


    the world, never expecting to find such camaraderie in the most deste of ces.


    Wiping a tear from her eye, Gabby choked up with gratitude towards the housemaids gathered outside. "Thank you, thank you all


    so much."


    The maids didn''t respond; instead, they scattered as if they had seen something—or someone—they didn''t want to mess with.


    Gabby followed their gaze and saw a young boy, around eleven or twelve, approaching. He had an air of confidence and walked


    up to her with his chin slightly raised, "| hear Grandpa got me a new ything?"


    Confused by the boy''s words, Gabby was speechless, unsure of how to respond.


    The boy''s temper red when she didn''t answer. "I''m talking about that little girl who came with you. Where did you hide her?"


    Gabby''s eyes zed with anger. Anna, her dear daughter whom she had raised with such care, was nobody''s ything! As she


    was about to set the boy straight, Anna appeared beside her with a beaming smile. "Hey there, are you here to y with me?”


    The boy was momentarily taken aback by Anna''s angelic face but quickly regained hisposure. "Yeah,e on."


    He walked off without looking back, and Anna was about to follow when Gabby grabbed her. "Sweetheart, you''re too young to go


    off with strangers," she said worriedly.


    Anna stood on tiptoe, kissed Gabby''s cheek, and whispered, "Don''t worry, Mommy; you told me never to show what I''m really


    capable of, remember? I''ll be okay."


    With that, Anna skipped away, every bit the innocent child, yet also astoundingly precocious for her mere two years. Gabby stood


    rooted to the spot, realizing for the first time that Anna might just be the wiser one of the two.


    In Hawaii, Magnus was shocked to learn that Lucius was still alive. He immediately began investigating Lucius’ dealings in


    Dubai.


    Paul was dispatched to Dubai to dig into Lucius’ affairs. Though Lucius was now a prisoner, he had many allies. With Magnus’


    resources, Paul was able to uncover the extent of Lucius'' activities.


    The revtions were so startling Paul was at a loss for words, but his loyalty never wavered. He called Magnus to disclose a


    significant secret.


    "Mr. Magnus, it''s true that Mr. Lucius is incarcerated in Dubai. But there''s something even more astonishing you need to brace


    yourself for." Paul chose his words carefully, still habitually referring to Lucius with respect.


    Magnus'' heart raced, sensing the news would involve his stolen daughter. "Paul, are you about to tell me you''ve found my little


    princess?"


    Paul nodded, then realizing Magnus couldn''t see him, added gravely, "Yes, Mr. Magnus. I''ve uncovered that Lucius has a wife


    named Gabby in Dubai, and they have a daughter. I''ve obtained photos of Gabby’s daily life and confirmed she''s the same one


    who abducted our little girl years ago. Their daughter, Anna, has deep, ocean-blue eyes just like Ms. rkson."


    The news hit Magnus like a sledgehammer, sending him reeling back into his chair. His blood seemed to freeze, and his breath


    was stolen away.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Anna! His daughter, undoubtedly! Only his and Natalia''s daughter could possess such captivating blue eyes!


    But the realization that Lucius was behind the separation from his newborn daughter and the theft from hispany left him


    seething. "Paul," Magnus’ voice was heavy with the weight of the news, and he asked Paul for confirmation, "Is all this


    information reliable? Is Lucius'' wife really the one who took our princess?" Despite knowing Paul''s meticulous nature, Magnus


    needed to hear it again to steady his shock.


    "Mr. Magnus, I''ve paid a steep price for this information, and | stand by its uracy. If there''s any discrepancy, I''ll bear the full


    responsibility," Paul assured him.


    "| trust your investigation, Paul," Magnus affirmed, then murmured to himself in disbelief, "I just can''t believe Lucius orchestrated


    all this. | should have realized sooner, instead of wasting all this time!"


    Magnus mmed down the phone


    with a mix of fury and dread churning


    in his gut. Without am ment’sOl\!

    toward the airport. There was no


    time to waste; he had to confront

    “Lucius, this time, you''ve crossed the line. I''m settling all scores, old and new!" Magnus vowed under his breath, his hands


    clenching the steering wheel with a white-knuckle grip. He boarded the next helicopter out, zooming off to the glitzy, sun-


    drenched city of Dubai.

    Paul was already at the airport, eyes scanning the crowd until theynded on Magnus. With a brisk nod, he approached and


    handed over a dossier on Lucius. Magnus snatched the papers without missing a beat and continued on his mission.
