I looked at As''s expression with some concern.


    He frowned and continued, "Later, when we found the elderly witness and investigated rk in detail, we discovered that rk left ATL Empire after all these events took ce. As you know, ATL Empire was still under Celine''s control at that time."


    "Are you suggesting that he might have had a fallout with Celine, and no one got what they wanted in the end?" I spected.


    "We found some strange clues during our investigation. At one point, Celine was actively looking for him and even issued a killing order against him. That was strange. Why would Celine want rk killed? "rk must have known something or been involved in something," I replied.


    As nodded. "There must be some kind of secret here. It''s just like whenn was killed. Our people followed these clues and discovered that rk was acting suspiciously. His son, Jarvis, also escaped with him."


    "It seems there''s another factor at y here," I said, sinking into thought.


    "That led us to think that rk is connected to this. During their escape, it became evident that father and son were not in the same ce from how often theymunicated with each other.


    "And when rk was on the run, his mother and sister inexplicably disappeared. Now, it''s likely they''re no longer alive, which made rk flee like a startled bird. That exins his current condition. He wasn''t like this before."


    As I listened to As, I couldn''t help but think of the rk I had just seen. He must be tormented by extreme fear, or found no other ways to support his mental state. Otherwise, he wouldn''t be so emaciated.


    "Also, Jarvis has been spotted around Cirencester. His strange appearances indicate that he must have support there. Your father, who disappeared at that time, is probably unable to act for some reason or is being held captive."


    The car had reached its destination, and I knew we were back in the underground garage of Pleca Park.


    As didn''t rush to open the door. He sat silently in the car then said, "When I interrogated them today, it was clear that he had fallen into Jarvis''s hands. But he must still be alive. If he were dead, Jarvis would have left that area."


    As I heard As''s spection, I felt like there was a huge hole in my heart. It felt painful and empty.


    As turned and tried to reassure


    me. "Don''t be sad. We still have hope


    as long as he''s alive. Once we bring


    him back


    I''ll do everything I can to


    treat him. He will get better. I''ve


    already started contacting the best


    experts."


    His wordsforted me a little. Without As, I might never get the chance to see my father again. He was my only blood rtion left in this world.


    "Thank you, As." I looked at his sharply defined, handsome face. I didn''t think he would never give up, even if we were worlds apart.


    "You silly girl, we''re family." He gazed affectionately at me, then suddenly cupped the back of my head and pulled me toward him. Then be kissed me greedily for a while.


    After our passionate moment, I asked him, "Wasn''t anyone suspicious when Chelsea left the Pierce family residence?"


    His recounting of events was thrilling, but the justice system worked meticulously, leaving no room for escape.Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    I did not expect Chelsea to have escaped their watchful eye alive with such crucial evidence.


    "How did she manage to escape from the devil''sir?"
