    "Alright."


    Edgar had thought Stefan would be mad, or would block the Martinez family from prying into his


    wife''s past, but he didn''t expect him to make such arrangements.


    "Anything else?"


    Edgar gleefully said, "Yes, I''d like to chat with you."


    "Buzz off!"


    Edgarughed, "Oh right, your admirer, thedy of the Dewey family is waiting for you at our


    company''s front door. No matter how we try to convince her to leave, she refuses. She doesn''t even


    believe us when we say you''re not in the office, she thinks we''re fooling her."


    Stefan''s expression was cold, "This is none of your business, don''t interfere."


    Edgar said, "President, you''re so cold, so great. It''s hard for any woman who''s met you not to fall for


    you. They didn''t do anything wrong. Why don''t you just be an emperor, your wife could be the


    queen, and you could have a few concubines. You''ve got plenty of money to support them all, then


    you wouldn''t have to break your admirers'' hearts."


    Edgar added, "Seeing Miss Dewey''s persistence, it breaks my heart."


    Edgar just loved to watch the drama unfold.


    Stefan coldly replied, "Edgar, you''ll meet a girl you like too, and you''ll get married. When you have a


    crush, I''ll repeat these words you said to me today back to her."


    Edgar, "I was just kidding, I know you''re a good guy who only loves one woman. Haha, the wife of


    yours is really lucky, she has it all. Haha, go ahead with your date, I won''t disturb you anymore."


    With that, he quickly hung up the phone.


    After Stefan''s people discovered that the Martinez family was investigating Lucinda and made


    arrangements, it wasn''t long before the young son of the Blue family also received the news.


    Ethan was in the middle of arge grassy field when he answered the phone. The grassy field was


    vast, and he stood at its center. Whatever he was saying to the person on the phone, no matter how


    hard the others tried to listen, they couldn''t hear a thing.


    "There''s someone inquiring about any families in major cities'' high society circles who lost a child


    about twenty years ago."


    Ever since Ethan started building up his power, his people had been helping him search for his


    sister Lucinda. It''d been over a decade, but they have never found Lucinda.


    Their main search was in Whiterun as the woman who took Lucinda was found there, but by the


    time she was found, she was already dead. The Lucinda taken away by her disappeared without a


    trace.


    Not only Ethan, but also other members of the Blue family conducted arge-scale search in


    Whiterun. As long as the person was about the same age as Lucinda, they would try to determine if


    she was Lucinda.


    After hearing his subordinate''s words, Ethan felt excited. He had a feeling that this matter was


    rted to his sister. He asked, "Do we know who''s making these inquiries?"


    The subordinate replied, "The news is widespread, so we haven''t found out who originally spread it


    yet. There''s another group following them, seemingly also looking for someone, but they haven''t


    made any moves, as if they''re waiting for an opportunity."


    "Investigate, I want you guys to find out where the person who originally spread this news came


    from." Ethan instructed calmly and seriously.


    "We''re already on it."


    "Their target is the high-end society circles in major cities, so they must be wealthy and powerful


    people. Be careful not to let them discover our actions and don''t fall into their traps."


    They also needed to prevent other members of the Blue family from taking action prematurely


    without knowing the situation. Those with ambitions would do anything to prevent his sister from


    coming back.


    Previously, they didn''t want Ethan to find his sister, mainly because they didn''t want her to inherit


    half of their father''s wealth. The Blue family had been wealthy for several generations, but the family


    head who umted the most wealth was Ethan''s father, Nathan.


    ording to the tradition of the Blue family, the family head''s wealth can only be left to his own


    children. If the family head had no children, the wealth would be divided among the whole family. If


    the family head had children, the wealth would be divided equally among them. If anything


    happened to the children, the wealth would be divided among the whole family.


    Nathan only had two children, Ethan and Lucinda, so his wealth was split equally between them. As


    Lucinda''s whereabouts were unknown, as long as she didn''t return, half of the father''s wealth would


    go to Ethan and the other half would be divided among the entire family after their father passed


    away. Even just half was enough to make people drool.


    Other members of the Blue family, for their own interests, naturally tried to prevent Lucinda''s return.


    In fact, only the direct members of the Blue family controlled the wealth of the family, and the side


    branches just basked in their glory. Generally speaking, it was Nathan''s cousins and nephews who


    wanted to divide his wealth.


    All previous family heads had considered resisting this tradition, but as there were many family


    members and their will was unanimous, the family head could only strive to have children and


    ensure their safe growth.


    Lucinda had gone missing, and there was Ethan, who had been the son of the Blue family. Ethan''s


    situation had been quite precarious. Furthermore, there had been his mother, Janice, who had


    mental issues.


    Now Madeleine also wanted to be Nathan''s wife. With the Porter family''s power in Skywatch


    second only to the Blue family, she naturally didn''t want Lucinda to return. If Lucinda came back, the


    mentally unstable Janice would gradually recover.


    Nathan and his wife were once very much in love, if Janice recovered and Lucinda came back, their


    family of four would be reunited, then what benefits would Madeleine have left?


    So, with all these forces tangled up, Ethan and Lucinda''s situation was dicey at best. Ethan was still


    somewhat safe, being the son of the Blue family. Even if he and his old man were on the outs,


    Nathan wouldn''t let anyone mess with his kid under his watch. Lucinda, on the other hand, was


    MIA. If someone found her first and pulled a fast one on her, that''d be the end of her. It was no


    surprise that Ethan''s crew had spotted a few parties on the hunt for Lucinda. Now, it was a race to


    see who would find Lucinda first.


    "We''ll be careful."


    "Right, keep me in the loop with any news."


    Ethan reminded, then hung up. Couldn''t gab for too long or someone might get suspicious. Well,


    even if he kept it short, someone was always watching. There was a ring of evergreens around the


    lawn, lush and thick. Who was to say there weren’t spies hiding in those trees?


    After ending the call, Ethan looked up at the dark sky, praying silently: God, please let me find my


    sister. Don''t let anything happen to her.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    In the darkness, someone approached. Ethan didn''t look over. As the son of the Blue family, he''d


    got plenty of bodyguards. They''ll let him know who wasing.


    After a moment, sure enough, a bodyguard came over and respectfully said, "Janice is kicking up a


    fuss again. Shirley sent someone to get you. She wants you toe back and soothe her."


    Hearing this, Ethan started walking, asking as he went, "My mom''s been calm these past few days.


    What''s got her all riled up now?"


    He had bought a new doll for his mother. She clung to the doll and didn''t make a fuss about wanting


    her baby anymore.


    The bodyguard kept quiet for a moment, then said, "Nathan visited Janice."
