Mila slept until noon. It was Phoebe's call that finally woke her up.
By then, Nathan had already left.
She grabbed her phone, held it to her ear, and said hoarsely, "Phoebe."
"Mila, there's news about Mr. Hoffis Senior."
Mila sat up abruptly. She was now fully awake. Excitement surged through as she threw off the covers and got out of bed. "Have they found my grandpa?"
"No, they haven't found him, but I discovered a lavish estate worth over 20 billion has suddenly appeared under Mr. Hoffis Senior's name. It's considered the most luxurious in Norvania," Phoebe replied.
Mila had no clue about Zach's wealth or property. "What does this have to do with finding my grandpa?"
"Quick, check the trending topics. There's news about Mr. Hoffis Senior's estate. It's left to you according to his will."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMila quickly searched for the news updates on her phone. Three hashtags trending at the top of the list caught her eye.
#GranddaughterInherits RichestTycoonEstateInNorvania
#GrandestEstatelnNorvania
#$28BEstatePassed ToGranddaughter
Mila skimmed through the trending topics but didn't find any mention of Zach's whereabouts. Disappointment crept over her as she sighed. "Phoebe, what does any of these have to do with my grandpa?" "Isn't it odd?" Phoebe asked. "Why would the news suddenly pop up?"
Mila thought hard about the situation and found it very strange. Zach, along with her parents, had disappeared without leaving any clues.
Meanwhile, Oliver and Avery quickly claimed the Hoffises' assets, even though the government had secretly tried to stop them from doing so. Somehow, Oliver managed to gain control over everything. Mila couldn't fathom why Zach's will suddenly surface.
By revealing it to the public, weren't they signaling Avery to intervene and lay claim to his inheritance?
As long as Zach was alive, Avery could have pressured him into drafting a new will to claim the 28 billion estate.
When Mila realized what was happening, she ended her call with Phoebe. She ran her fingers through her hair, grabbed her coat, and rushed out.
She looked all over the house for Nathan but couldn't find him. Feeling anxious for answers, she asked the maid. Yet, the maid hadn't seen Nathan either.
Mila went to Nathan's study and carefully went through his files. In one of his drawers, she found a property purchase contract. She was dumbfounded as she examined the contract.
Nathan had bought a lavish estate for a staggering 28 billion dollars but it was registered under Zach's name. She was utterly stunned by what she read, her breath catching in her throat.
Was Nathan using his entire fortune as ssort of lure? After composing herself, Mila dialed Nathan's number.
After a while, Nathan's gentle voice greeted her. "Wanda."
Mila was agitated as she asked, "Where are you?"
"I'm outside taking care of sbusiness. I'll try to get hsoon," Nathan replied.
"The 28 billion estate is registered under my grandpa's name. It might end up with Oliver. Aren't you worried?"

Mila was angry, but beneath it, she couldn't help but be deeply moved by Nathan's actions. The 28 billion might have been Nathan's entire fortune.
Softly, Nathan apologized, "I'm sorry,
Mila, I didn't discuss this with you beforehand. I was afraid you would disagree. And I've been planning this for a long time. I don't want to give up now."
"What if Oliver claims the money, and we can't find my grandpa and parents?"
Nathan's smile was bitter. "If we lose all this money, would you still choose to be with me, a guy with nothing?"
Mila was left speechless. She snorted before muttering, "Are you saying I'm only with you for money?"
"No, you're way richer than me," Nathan blurted out. "You just want to marry a decent guy."
Mila was infuriated. "Nathan, this isn't the tfor jokes."
"All right. You don't need to worry. Just trust me, okay?" Nathan's words deeply moved Mila.
After a pause, she asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"
"Just take care of yourself. That's the best help you can give me," Nathan replied.
