“Malcolm.”
“Yes.”
The first thing Sebastian did when he arrived at the company was to summon Malcolm to his side.
Finished
Then, he issued an order. “There’s a traitor in Harriet’s secret team. We can’t use them anymore. You need to bring over your people. All work must be put on hold for now. We need to find Mrs. Lockhart first.”
Sebastian’s mind was entirely filled with thoughts of Malelyn. Apart from finding her, he didn’t want to think about anything else.
“Yes” Malcolm immediately complied with the instruction.
At that moment. Wesley, who was standing to the side, watched on. Suddenly, he said with fervor, “Sebastian, how about I lend a hand too?”
“You?” Sebastian shot him a glance, his gaze filled with doubt.
“Exactly, it’ll help to have more people, Wesley said with a chuckle.
In the end, Sebastian simply let out a cold snort. “Never mind, you don’t have to.”
“Why?”
Wesley was confused. He had hoped to use this opportunity to reconcile with Sebastian. After all, they were brothers. They couldn’t possibly fall out over a trivial argument, could they?
However, it was clear that Sebastian no longer held the same level of trust for Wesley as he once did.
Even though Wesley was loyal to Sebastian, he had repeatedly targeted Madelyn in the past.
The disappearance of Madelyn this time was indirectly linked to him. If he got involved, who knew what additional troubles might arise.
“All right then.” Wesley could only nod his head, albeit reluctantly.
There was a certain sense of helplessness in his heart, but Wesley knew that Sebastian had begun to harbor some doubts about him.
For a moment, he didn’t know what to say, so he chose to say nothing at all
Meanwhile, at the hospital.
After all, Josiali and Hayden were family. It was unlikely that Josiah would just stand by and let a family member perish. So, after interrogating Hayden, Josiah eventually brought him to the hospital.
However, after the examination, the doctor expressed his regret.
The bone in Hayden’s hand was brutally twisted and broken. Even with the most meticulous care in mending it, the most that could be achieved was the restoration of sense.

At this point, most of the Blume family members had arrived.
Hayden’s parents, along with various relatives, including Felix, had all arrived….

After all, Hayden was the only one in this large family Who had achieved some success in the military. Now that such a major incident had occurred, it was only natural that the entire family was filled with anxiety.
At that moment, after examining the injuries of his son Hayden’s father, who was also Josiah’s uncle, scolded Josiah angrily. “Josiah, you guys are brothers. How could you be so heartless? Your brother was in trouble, and you didn’t lend a hand? How could you let him sustain such severe injuries?”
At that time, Josiah was in a bad temper because he was deeply worried about Madelyn. He didn’t expect that his second uncle would place the blame on him, which instantly ignited his anger.
Unable to hold back, he bellowed, “Let me tell you, it’s ready quite generous of me to spare Hayden’s life, If it weren’t for the fact that he’s part of the Blume family, I would have killed him a long time ago!”
Upon hearing that, everyone from the Blume family was taken aback, thinking to themselves that Josiah had spoken too bluntly.
Benedict warned, “Josiah, mind your words.”
Mason and Xander glanced at him to remind him to maintain his image as all their family members were present.
Josiah, however, couldn’t care for such details. He yelled in fury, “Don’t tell me what to do! The one who should mind himself is Hayden. The predicament he’s in today is entirely of his own making! If he hadn’t engaged in such despicable acts, none of this would have happened, let alone causing Madelyn to disappear!”
Every time the topic of Madelyn’s disappearance came up, Josiah felt an overwhelming urge to throttle Hayden.
At that moment, Felix had also managed to piece together some clues.
Immediately, anger laced his voice as he demanded, “Josiah, what on earth happened?”
With a cold chuckle, Josiah replied, “What happened? Listen carefully. Grandpa, during your last birthday party, Hayden was outperformed by Madelyn and L. Since then, he’s been holding a grudge. And just this afternoon, he actually had the audacity to kidnap Madelyn, even threatening me that he would break her hand! And what was the outcome? He ended up losing one of his own hands, and Madelyn was taken away by God knows who. She’s now missing without a trace. Grandpa, am I to be blamed for this?”
As Josiah spoke, he couldn’t help but become increasingly angry.
At that moment, the people nearby began to look down on Hayden with some disdain.
Josiah’s family had a favorable impression of Madelyn, so they were all inclined toward her in their hearts.
Needless to say, Felix was livid and seething with rage.
Setting aside Madelyn’s disappearance, the mere fact that Hayden could stoop so low to commit such a disgraceful act as a soldier was already enough to incite fury.
He brought shame upon the family and lost one of his arms. How was he supposed to continue his

military service in the future?
To put it bluntly, the rest of Hayden’s life was pretty much hopeless.
For a moment, Hayden’s parents were left dumbfounded.
Finished
Completely disappointed, Felix had already given up on Hayden. Whether it was his character or his military rank, the boy was now utterly ruined. Felix couldn’t be bothered with him anymore, so he shook his head helplessly and turned to leave.
Josiah couldn’t be bothered to deal with Hayden’s family, so he left too.
After leaving the hospital, Josiah immediately turned to Mason, Xander, and Benedict. His worry was evident as he asked. “Dad, Mason, Xander, do you have any ideas on how we can find Madelyn?”
Judging by his worried expression, it was clear that he tuly cared about Madelyn.
Seeing that, Mason couldn’t help but tease, “Why are you so worried? That girl is engaged, you know. You don’t need to come up with a solution. Her fiancé will naturally take care of it.”
“Exactly. In my opinion, Mr. Lockhart is probably way more capable than us, don’t you think? Why are you so worried? She’s not even your woman,” Xander chided.
Josiah immediately expressed his discontent, retorting. Of course, I know Madelyn isn’t my woman, but she is my friend. How can I possibly stand by and do nothing?”
Upon hearing that, the two brothers found themselves at a loss for words. They turned their gazes toward their father, Benedict.
However, Benedict could only helplessly shake his head “Do you think I don’t want to lend a hand? However, we come from a military family. If it’s about mobilizing personnel, that’s certainly within our capabilities. But when it comes to investigating someone’s whereabouts, well, that’s not exactly our forte.”
In other words, he couldn’t help.
Seeing the helpless expressions on his father and brothers‘ faces, Josiah could only sigh. It seemed that his requests had been in vain.
Josiah could only continuously pray in his heart, hoping that Madelyn would be safe and sound.
If something happened to her, Josiah would truly be lost.
