"Because..." Anastasia dragged on hesitantly while looking at Alexander. Her hesitation showed she was baffled and afraid.
"lI don't care what they told you, but think about it. You can't hide it now that | already know about this. It doesn't make much
difference whether or not you tell," Alexander said patiently, “Don't you trust me? Do you not trust Lily?"
He resorted to playing the emotional card.
Although Anastasia might not trust him completely, she still had absolute trust in Lily. It was to the point that Alexander felt they
would have easily solved this matter if Lily had been standing here instead. Then Anastasia would express what was happening
and ask for Lily's advice.
Thinking about it, Lily had a certain charisma and charm that surpassed him, making people have an inexplicable sense of trust

"Lily..." Sure enough, Anastasia's eyes flickered upon hearing Lily's name.
Anastasia frowned. Ultimately, she took out her phone without hesitation and scrolled through it before handing it to Alexander,
showing a video clip. The video contained a blindfolded person. It was Cameron.
Although blindfolded, those who knew him could quickly recognize him. Cameron's hands were tied behind his back while he sat on
a chair. He was not speaking in the video. One could not even tell whether he was asleep or awake. Still, he must have been
asleep, judging from his drooping head.
It was a short video with very little to see. Besides the fact that the person in it was Cameron, nothing else was apparent. After
watching the video twice, Alexander raised his head to look at Anastasia. “So, it's because of this video?”
“That's Dad. Can't you recognize him?” Anastasia questioned with widened eyes.
“I know. | can tell, but Cameron didn’t say a thing. Are you sure this isn’t someone pretending to be him?” Alexander analyzed
before continuing, “Also, besides releasing this video, they haven't mentioned anything else.
“How do you know if your father is truly with them? If he is, why aren’t they allowing you to report it to the police or inform others?
They're even aiding in concealing it. What's their purpose?”
Anastasia did not know what to say since she did not think that far. She only saw the video and her father in that situation,
immediately sending her into a spiral. She had hardly slept last night and was in a daze. After hearing what Alexander said, her
mind becmuch clearer, like a sudden awakening.

"Are you saying the person in the video isn't my father? Then...where did my father go? There's no news about him until now, and
he's not answering his phone," Anastasia asked, puzzled, "If this person isn’t Dad, what are they trying to do?"
Alexander did not answer. That question was turning in his head as well. After a moment of pondering, he asked, “Is there anything
else aside from this?”
Anastasia slowly shook her head.
"Oh, right. These people also said my father would return hsafely within three days if | didn't call the police. Otherwise..." She
looked nervous. "Alex, will they find out now that I've told you about this? Will my father be in danger?"
Alexander finally understood why she was so anxious, trying to maintain a calm facade and hide things from him. It was because
those people had threatened her.
