Xavier’s dark eyes stared at her intently. “Is he dead?”
Amy replied, “That woman from the Sutton family, Hilda, is cleaning the floor in the hotel room. The man Paul brought to the hotel is named Raymond, and he’s with the Triads.”
“Our people checked the surveillance footage. The box was taken out to the wilderness by Paul and Raymond. There’s no camera coverage after that, so we don’t know where the box ended up for now.”
“They didn’t come back to the hotel for a long time. Eileen and Vincent were following them the whole time. They probably knew what Paul and Raymond were up to.”
Xavier said coldly, “Knowing those two, once they find out their uncle has been killed, they’ll definitely go blackmail Courtney.”
“Are you sure Jacob never left the hotel?”
“Yes, Mr. Beltran.”
“We can call the police now. But before that, I need to tell my wife first. You can wait outside until I call for you.”
Amy left.
Xavier picked up his phone and called Aveline, but she rejected the call.
Xavier laughed and muttered to himself, “Has this become a habit? Rejecting my calls instinctively the moment she sees my name?”

He sent a text: “Aveline, pick up my call. It’s urgent. Jacob might be in serious trouble.”
Aveline replied, “What kind of trouble?”
Xavier called her again. This time, Aveline answered. “What is it?”
Aveline answered the call because she remembered Josephine saying Jacob was missing. She was wondering if he’d gotten into trouble with loan sharking.
Xavier explained the situation to her. Aveline was stunned and silent for a long while, unable to speak.
“Aveline, I think we can call the police now. Courtney and the others obviously thought no one would find out, so they were sloppy and panicked. It’s full of holes. As soon as the police get involved, they’ll figure it out immediately.”
No matter what, Jacob was her biological father. The thought that he was harmed by Courtney and her lover made Aveline’s heart tighten.
“Aveline, I’ll call the police first, as your husband.”
Aveline replied, “Okay, you call the police. I’m heading back to the city now.”
“It’s already late. You should stick to the plan and come back tomorrow.”
Aveline replied, “It’s not too late.”
Xavier knew she was stubborn, so he said, “Alright then. Have Helena go with you, or get Maria to drive you.”
“Collin and Paulina will take Grandpa’s car back to the city tomorrow.”

Aveline didn’t say anything and hung up.
Right now, their group was at a restaurant on Mount Ardwood, about to have dinner. Aveline had taken Xavier’s call on the balcony of their private dining room.
She held her phone, thinking. She wanted to call Josephine, but she didn’t have her number.
So she called Fiona, told her what happened, and asked her to look up Josephine’s phone number.
Fiona was so scared she kept yelling, “Holy crap! Holy crap! Oh my god, Aveline, could it be a misunderstanding? Holy crap, if it’s true, that’s terrifying.”
“Fiona, look up Josephine’s phone number for me.”
Fiona found it for Aveline and sent it to her, “Aveline, are you coming back tonight?”
“Yeah, I’ll drive back to the city right after dinner.”
“Then when you get here, let me know. We’ll pick a place to meet, and I’ll be with you.”
Aveline replied, “Let’s talk when I get there. I don’t know what the situation is like yet. I’m going to sound out Josephine first.”
After hanging up with Fiona, Aveline called Josephine.
At that moment, Josephine and Courtney were in a hospital room, where the mother and daughter had been calculating their assets all day.
When her phone rang, Josephine was startled to see it was Aveline’s

When is the novel ending? It’s so unnecessarily long… not a single intimacy or connection just fighting and bickering from the beginning to end...
