Lena gazed at him, her lips moving as a complex expression crossed her face.
Suddenly, Chris' phone rang. It was Fleur calling, sounding anxious as she urged him to return immediately.
Chris had no choice but to follow his mother's instructions and bring Lena back to the Hamertons.
They found Zuko and Lina already present inside the spacious living room, all wearing serious expressions.
When Lena entered, Fleur appeared to have something important to say, her gaze fixed on Lena.
Lina locked eyes with Lena and smiled determinedly, leaving Lena slightly puzzled.
Bianca calmly entered the room, catching Lena's attention.
"Aunt Fleur, Chris, I've located Nala! I know where she is!" Bianca announced eagerly.

Bianca smiled confidently. "Don't think you're the only one with connections just because you were in the special
forces. The Hamertons aren't all-powerful, and there are things you can't uncover."
Fleur cleared her throat calmly, and Zuko exchanged glances with Lina, preparing for what was about to unfold.
However, Chris' frown deepened.
A look of triumph flashed in Bianca's eyes. She had carefully planned her actions on her way there. Drake's
statement had reminded her that kidnapping was still abduction. If she could paint Lena as a child trafficker like her
mother, she would erode everyone's trust in her.
Bianca didn't believe that Lina, now a mother herself, would tolerate a child trafficker. She also doubted that Chris
would continue to treasure Lena once he knew the truth.
Thus, she made a bold move. She intended to sell out Drake and accuse Alexander and Drake of conspiring with
Lena to kidnap Nala. The three of them were like a family, and Lena would have no way to defend herself in front of
everyone.
Bianca turned to Chris and said matter-of-factly, "Alexander and Drake Dickinson took Nala!"
"Who?"
It wasn't just Chris—Lena's ears buzzed, and her heart raced. She stared at Bianca in shock. The name Bianca had
just uttered felt like a curse, sending shivers down her spine.
"What are you saying?" Chris raised his voice. "I know Alexander. He's a student from our charity project. We
brought him down from the mountains! He has no reason to harm the Chrisses. In fact, he owes us! Why would he
kidnap Nala? And we don't even know this Drake!"

Bianca turned to Lena, who was pale. "Ms. Harding, you know him, don't you?"
Unable to bear it any longer, Chris pulled Lena behind him.
"Aunt Fleur, please trust me! I've done extensive research on this matter!" Bianca implored Fleur, rushing to her
side. "Drake is Alexander's father, and he was Lena's adoptive father!"
Chris' gaze dimmed, but he refused to release Lena's hand. He could feel her cold, trembling fingers and chose to
believe her. He believed that Lena would never lie to him.
Fleur finally spoke up in a low voice. "Bianca, please tell us what's going on."
