Chapter 379


    Hearing her voice, Casey shuddered, his face ghostly pale as he looked at her.


    After a moment of awkward silence, he finally spoke, "I couldn''t sleep. I just needed some fresh air.


    Why are you up? Hurry back to bed. It''s chilly down here."


    Casey tried to usher ra back to her room, but she sidestepped him. Her gaze fixed on her


    father''s evasive eyes, she asked, "Dad, where''s Ian? Has something happened?"


    Casey forced a smile, "What could happen to him? He just had to take care of some business at the


    company. He''ll be back once it''s sorted. Don''t worry, go back to sleep."


    ra''s suspicion only grew. Her father was insistent on sending her upstairs, clearly hiding


    something from her. "Dad, where''s my phone? I want to call Ian and see what he''s up to."


    Casey immediately brushed her off, "You shouldn''t be on your phone thiste. It''s not good for the


    baby. Ian''s fine, you''ll see him first thing in the morning. Now, go to bed."


    As he spoke, Casey wrapped an arm around ra''s shoulders, guiding her upstairs. In a swift


    move, while he was distracted, ra snatched the phone from his pocket.


    As the screen lit up, the first thing she saw was a live feed of a smoky, fiery scene. Thements


    scrolling across the stream hit her like a st of icy wind. She clenched the phone tightly as the


    messages buzzed by, but she still saw them.


    Prayers for Ian''s safety filled the chat, and the burning building was none other than the Hayes


    family estate.


    Tears welled up in ra''s eyes as she looked at Casey with a heated gaze. "Dad, take me to the


    Hayes family estate."


    Realizing he could no longer conceal the truth, Caseyforted her, "ra, it''s dangerous there


    now. You have to believe in Ian. He escaped the war zones of Africa. A fire won''t stop him. Come


    upstairs with me. Keeping you and the baby safe is his top priority."

    "Dad, please, just take me there. I''ll keep the baby safe. I just need to see him."


    "ra, this fire was set on purpose. I''m afraid they want you and Ian out of the picture. Don''t fall for


    their trap."


    "Dad, if it''s intentional, that''s all the more reason I won''t let them win. I have to bring Ian back."


    Casey knew he couldn''t sway his daughter. He patted her shoulder, "Once we''re there, you do as


    you''re told and stay away from danger, alright?"


    ra held back the tears in her eyes, nodding repeatedly. She knew Ian was in danger and the


    Hayes Corporation was facing a crisis. She couldn''t just stand by.


    On the way to the Hayes family estate, she got the full story of what had happened. When she


    learned it was Leonora who had set the fire, she clenched her teeth in anger.


    She stepped out of the car and didn''t rush to the scene of the fire as Casey had expected. Instead,


    she calmly approached Teo andmanded, "Teo, lock down the scene. Don''t let anyone slip


    away."


    Seeing her arrive, Teo expressed his concern, "ra, what are you doing here? You need to go


    back."


    "Teo, there''s a mole in the Hayes family. We need to root them out, or who knows what could


    happenter."


    Recognizing her resolve, Teo sighed and said, "It''s already locked down. All the staff of the Hayes


    estate are under control, but there''s still no word from Ian."


    ra turned her gaze toward the ruins of the Crimson Manor, the pain in her eyes unmistakable.


    Her throat ached unbearably as she looked at the remains, her voice hoarse and low, "Ian, if you


    leave me and our child, I will never forgive you."
