When the words "half your life" entered Emmanuel's ears, his face fell, and he looked unhappy. He

instantly lost his patience in mocking Katherine and snorted, "Miss Cornell, you're indeed as eloquent

as before. It seems your missing daughter hasn't made you lose your cool, but don't you want to know

where your obedient daughter is right now?"

On the other hand, she had long guessed that his call had something to do with Noah, so she said

nothing and waited for him to continue.

Like what she had expected, Emmanuel felt he had somewhat lost his dominant position in this

conversation when she didn't ask the question he wanted to hear. That made him feel displeased, but

when he thought of Jayden's orders, he could only grit his teeth reluctantly and speak up. You must

have been worried sick and had no intention of talking to anyone. Seeing that you and Corey are

friends, it wouldn't be appropriate for me, as an elder, to stand by and do nothing. I called you today to

point you in the right direction."

"The right direction?" Katherine sneered. "Is it the right direction, or are you steering me into another

trap?"

After swirling his cup, he took a casual sip of his tea. "My, how could you say such a thing? Why would

I steer you into a trap? Don't get me wrong. I did this out of the kindness in my heart. Your daughter

was kidnapped, so I sent my men to help you look for her. After all, the Gray Family has more power

than you do in Kyoland, and we're more familiar with the environment. My men just got word from a

reliable source, so I called you immediately. As for whether it's true or not, I don't know, but it is still a

clue, and you can decide whether you want to believe it. So, how about it, Miss Cornell? Are you

interested?"

Katherine's eyes were icy as she demanded, "What's with all the nonsense? If you want to tell me, say

it. Otherwise, shut up."

Hearing how rude she was, Emmanuel was furious. He was the president of Gray Corporation, and no

one dared to speak to him in such a disrespectful way, and no junior would dare to go against him.

However, she was an exception! So, to avoid causing unnecessary problems, he suppressed his

emotions and pretended he wasn't offended by her words. "Miss Cornell, don't be so anxious. I was

about to tell you." Afterward, he changed the subject, and his voice sounded more normal. "Things

went like this. My men heard that the people who took your daughter drove to the northern suburbs of

Kyoland. There's an old and dilapidated abandoned building, and your daughter has been left there. If

you believe me, you're welcome to search there. That wouldn't take too much of your time, right?"

An abandoned building in the northern suburbs… Katherine's clear eyes were now as dark as coal.

Raising her eyes slightly, she pursed her lips. Then, she said nothing and hung up.

Emmanuel, on the other hand, Emmanuel was still grinning, waiting for her response. Nonetheless, he

only heard the hung-up tone, and his expression instantly fell. Then, he threw his phone onto the coffee

table out of anger. The force was so strong that the phone slid across the surface and fell from the

table's edge before landing on the floor.

Inside the office, it was so quiet that the only sound inside the room was his breathing. He sat there

with a gloomy expression, and his eyes were filled with hostility like a vengeful ghost. I'm eager to see

how long that b*tch Katherine can last. Once Gray Corporation is revived, I'll see who dares to

command me! Jayden Hall, I'll find a way to bring you down and show you who has power over others!

…

Meanwhile, Carmine saw Katherine get off the call at Silver Gardens and immediately asked, "Miss,

why did Emmanuel call you?"

With a sneer, Katherine replied, "What else? Of course, it's to lure me into a trap."

However, Carmine was puzzled after hearing that. "Lure you into a trap? What did he say?"

Seeing that, Katherine didn't hide the details and told her, "An abandoned building in the northern

suburbs of Kyoland."

The chopped-up sentence confused Carmine briefly, but she soon understood what it meant. "You

mean they brought Miss Noah to that place?"

"Yes. That should be where Noah is." Katherine nodded, and her beautiful eyes narrowed while she

added, "Taking her away isn't their primary goal. It's because they can't do anything to me for now.

They would first kidnap her and use her as leverage against me."

Though Carmine understood that point, she was still worried. "Miss, do you believe what Emmanuel

said is true? Maybe Miss Noah isn't there, but he still said it because he wants to lure you there?"

When Katherine heard that, she smiled slightly, but her smile didn't reach her eyes. "Whether or not it's

true, I have no choice but to go. Since he gave me this clue, it wouldn't be fake. It depends on whether

I would dare to head over."

"They would have set up an ambush there. If Miss Noah isn't there, and you fall into their trap, wouldn't

that—"

"That won't happen." Katherine objected to the idea. "If Emmanuel is smart, he wouldn't do that."

Carmine was even more puzzled by her statements. "Why are you so sure about that?"

"If I went there and didn't see Noah, I wouldn't have anything holding me back from fighting my way

out. Emmanuel knows what I'm capable of, and he has previously faced the Vermillion Alliance.

Therefore, he wouldn't dare to let me fight my way out. Hence, he must have Noah with him. That is

because only by kidnapping her would he have leverage over me and make me wary of him."

After listening to Katherine's explanation, Carmine finally understood. "Then, when are we leaving?"

Katherine corrected her and replied, "It's not 'we' but 'me'."

Hearing that, Carmine was stunned for a moment and then became nervous. "Miss, are you going to

go there alone? How can you go there alone when they have so many people on their side? That's like

treading through dangerous grounds."

While casting Carmine a reassuring glance, Katherine explained, "Don't worry. Emmanuel would make

sure that I head over alone. That's unavoidable, so I must appear there alone."

"Still—"

"I am going there alone, but I didn't say you can't bring your men to come after me."

At that moment, Carmine understood what Katherine meant. "Miss, rest assured that I will lead the

others from the Vermillion Alliance to protect you!"

A light flashed across Katherine's eyes as she smiled mockingly. "Emmanuel wouldn't have guessed

there would still be a head-on battle later."

During their conversation, Joaquin called. "I'm done dealing with the Levisay Family's matter. How's

your end? Is Corey alright? When are you coming back? I'll go fetch you." His tone was gentle,

indicating that he was in a good mood.
