    The bedroom door swung open, and Theo’s irritable voice rang out.


    Veronica was startled by her brother’smanding tone. And then it hit her. She blurted out, “Wait,


    you’re back? You… you were in the room too? What on earth were you doing with her while Ellinor


    wasn’t home?”


    Theo didn’t feel the need to exin himself. “It’ste, Veronica. Go to your own room and sleep.” He


    retorted,


    “No wonder Ellinor ran away. You’re really not helping, bro!” Veronica muttered, shooting Sophia a dirty


    look before storming off.


    Sophia merely shrugged and spread her hands. “See that, Theo? That’s how she treats me! That’s why


    I came to your room.”


    Theo was stone-faced. “You’ll have to make do for the night. I’ll arrange a hotel for you tomorrow. You


    won’t have to see her anymore.”


    “Fair enough.” Sophia replied nonchntly and went downstairs to watch TV.


    Theo didn’t care what Sophia did. He was simply annoyed by Veronica’s shouting and hade out to


    put a stop to it.


    He returned to his room and picked up an iing call from Collin.


    Expecting news, he answered promptly.


    “Mr. nchet, we’ve checked all the public transport. There’s still no sign of Ellinor. We’ve got people


    watching the highways too, but there aren’t any leads. She’s likely still in Greenhaven.”


    The pit in Theo’s stomach sank further. “Keep looking. If she’s in Greenhaven, I want you to turn the


    ce upside down until you find her.”


    “Understood, Mr. nchet.


    Six monthster.


    The nchet Corporation’s new building wasplete and had been furnished for some time now.


    In three days, all departments of the nchet Corporation were set to move into the new office


    building. A grand ribbon-cutting ceremony was nned, with major media outlets covering it.


    However, things weren’t going smoothly.


    There was an unwritten rule in Greenhaven’s architectural scene. The architect must attend the ribbon-


    cutting ceremony of apleted building. Otherwise, it was believed to bring bad luck to the upants


    and even affect the building’s safety.


    While this was just a rumor, architects generally didn’t mind attending the ribbon-cutting of buildings


    they had designed. It was a proud moment, after all. Over time, it became an epted practice. If an


    architect didn’t show up, it was considered disrespectful to the client or even a curse.


    Especially forrge corporations. Their towering buildings demanded high safety standards.


    Shareholders cared about this. Whether they believed the rumor or not, who wouldn’t want good luck?
