Summer City was near to Zion City, only a two-hour drive.

A convoy of luxury cars sped through the night, with one man sitting in one of them and making call after call.

His grim profile reflected against the window made Ray, sitting in the passenger seat, too nervous to even

breathe too loudly.

The Lee family were the big fish in Summer City, looking to expand their territory up north, but that was

Remington territory. If the Lees wanted a piece of the pie, they needed Remington's say-so. They weren't exactly

playing by the book, and Remington had already turned them down once. But now, Ray heard that Remington

was back in touch with the Lees.

Remington was willing to make concessions, willing to turn Summer City upside down if it meant finding his wife.

After wrapping up a few urgent calls, Remington turned to Ray.

"Was Yolanda at the West family dinner?"

"Yeah, Mr. Sterling brought her along."

Remington's voice was cold, "Send sof our best to keep an eye on her!"

If Lizetta had vanished of her own free will, Yolanda would've known about it beforehand. Even if she didn't know

where Lizetta was, the latter would surely reach out to her eventually. Given that Lizetta was pregnant with

Daisy, and Yolanda was like a sister to her, it wasn't out of the question that Yolanda might've left to help her

take care of Daisy.

They needed to watch her closely.

"Will do. Do you think Mrs. Dashiell plotted it and left voluntarily, Mr. Dashiell?" Ray ventured.

Mrs. Dashiell was just missing for now; nothing was certain yet. Was it possible she'd been kidnapped? But

Remington's focus on Yolanda seemed to suggest he believed Mrs. Dashiell had left of her own accord.

Remington closed his eyes, haunted by Lizetta's unusual behavior these past few days. Her unexpected

gentleness, how she cherished the flowers he gave her yesterday, and that tender hug before she left in the

morning.

He thought after a month, she was finally moving past the displeasure in their wedding, that his efforts of being

her company were making a difference, that she was warming up to him.

But it appeared she'd been planning to leave all along, to escape him and take their Daisy far away!

The realization felt like a gaping hole

in his chest, a chilling wind slicing through, freezing his blood, a slow, excruciating pain that drove him to the

brink of madness yet left him feeling powerless.

His lips went pale, "Huh, is staying by my side so unbearable for her?"

She'd rather struggle on her own, pregnant and alone, than remain "Mrs. Dashiell"? Remington's laugh was

bitter, the sound chill to the bone, sending shivers down the spine.

His little girl had really grown up, thinking she could just disappear from his world like that! Never!

He'd made it clear; he wouldn't allow her to leave. Once he found her, he'd teach her a lesson!

"Yolanda knows how to handle herself, and she's got a temper. If she gets hurt, Mrs. Dashiell might get angry

once she returns."

Sighing, Ray said in concern, seeing that Remington had dismissed the possibility of Lizetta being kidnapped.

Remington opened his eyes, a blood-red fury in them; he replied coldly, Angry? Ha, she's already angry, tricking

me, fleeing from me. If she doesn't loveanymore, let her cback and hatethen!"

If hatred could keep someone close, he'd bring her back to be his bitter half.

Ray, witnessing the man's chilling obsession and crazed determination, was frightened. He made the call without

further comment.

But then, Remington's phone rang incessantly, calls from Stella and Martin.

Remington ignored them twice, but Stella called again. Remington stared at the screen, a shadow crossing his

face as he answered.

"Remington, why did you suddenly

leave? Your behavior earlier spooked everyone, there's a lot of talk, and I fell trying to catch up to you. What's

going on? I'm really worried about yott."

"You have no idea what's happened?" Remington's voice cut through the silence.
