"Aunt Fleur, haven't you understood yet? I'll share everything I've found," Bianca said with smug satisfaction.
She fixed a cold gaze on Lena and continued. "Krystal Harding, Ms. Harding's biological mother, was involved in
human trafficking. She sent her daughter to live with Drake. I even heard that Krystal abducted Drake's wife and
sold her to him!
"As they say, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I mean, a human trafficker's daughter might be involved in
human trafficking too, don't you think?
"So, do you still believe Nala's disappearance has nothing to do with Ms. Harding?"
"Bianca!" Lina stepped forward, her voice angry. "Stop making accusations without evidence!"

have a daughter. Can you trust Lena around her?"
"Enough!" Chris shouted.
Lena jumped and stared at him in disbelief. But there was no doubt on his face.
Chris was still protecting her, looking at her like she was a precious treasure.
Lena's eyes welled up, and she instinctively gripped his hand tightly. His warm palm gave her strength, and in his
warmth, she was unafraid of the darkness.
Chris smiled gently at her and then turned to Bianca with a cold gaze.
He said grimly, "Bianca, I'm considering our family ties this time, so I won't confront you. But don't push your luck!"
Zuko stepped forward with a cryptic smile. "We know the kind of person Lena is, Ms. Mosley. Do you really think the
Hamertons are naive?"
Bianca's heart skipped a beat. Zuko's words seemed to carry hidden meaning, but his enigmatic eyes made it
impossible for her to discern his intentions.
Fleur slowly rose, adjusting her shawl. "Indeed. Bianca, you should refrain from making baseless claims."
She moved between Chris and Lena like a protective mother hen.
Fleur elegantly smoothed her hair, maintaining her usual dignified demeanor. "Even though Lenny isn't officially
part of the Hamertons yet, she will be one day!"
"Aunt Fleur?" Bianca widened her eyes.
Fleur raised her hand, signaling for her to be silent. "Bianca, I've always liked you. But if you continue causing
unwarranted trouble, how can I maintain that liking?

"For the sake of our family ties, I suggest you keep your schemes in check. We can all live in peace. Wouldn't that
be better for everyone?"
Bianca seethed with frustration. Why had she done all of this? It was all for Chris!
Fleur had adored her during her upbringing, yet she now seemed to favor an outsider?
Bianca gnashed her teeth and declared without hesitation, "You've all misunderstood me. I checked the hotel
surveillance. It was indeed Drake and Alexander who took Nala away!"
"You checked the surveillance?" Zuko raised an eyebrow. "Mrs. Chriss tried to access the hotel surveillance
immediately after the incident. But they claimed those areas had blind spots, and nothing could be seen."
"Ms. Mosley, I'm curious how you managed to access the surveillance in those blind spots," Lina added, arms
crossed. "Otherwise, it would seem like we're all being made fools of!"
