At that moment, Caleb felt a wave of worry wash over him as he thought about Ethan. “Mr. Knight’s

voice sounded raspy, so he obviously hadn’t eaten or drunk anything.”

Sam frowned upon hearing that. “He’s checking the surveillance footage? Haven’t we done that

already?”

“He must have been worried that we would miss out on something. That’s why he personally double-

checked everything. Furthermore, he had a deeper comprehension of Mrs. Knight than we did. There’s

a chance he’ll find something we overlooked if he goes through it personally.” After working with Ethan

for so long. Caleb deeply understood the man’s character.

On the other hand, Liam was stunned after hearing that. “There are so many surveillance cameras

throughout the city. How long would it take Mr. Knight to go through them alone?”

“He won’t stop until he finds her,” Caleb said with a solemn expression on his face. “Also, his behavior

raises grave concerns.”

“What is the matter with Mrs. Knight? Why did she go missing? The last time she did this was already

excruciating for us, and now she’s doing it again! What’s wrong with living a good life? Why did she run

away?” Sam inquired because he was preoccupied with numerous thoughts. Why, after marrying Mr.

Knight, would she not settle down to a peaceful life? Is she still not satisfied? What exactly does she

want? Does the fact that Mr. Knight went to such extremes to locate her give her a sense of

significance?

“She’s not an unreasonable woman. Something must have happened.” Caleb had interacted with Alice

on multiple occasions and concluded that she was not a woman of that nature.

“I’m not implying that she’s being unreasonable. Even though it’s understandable that people.

occasionally act irrationally, there must be a limit. Going overboard is bad. What’s the point in

squandering time and resources on her?” Despite Sam’s lack of context, his comments were plausible.

Suddenly, Caleb’s face blanched as he noticed Ethan approaching them, and he immediately

whispered to Sam, “Shut up.”

As Ethan approached them, he continued to walk past them without pausing or even looking in their

direction. Instead, he stated in a remarkably calm manner, “Sam, you don’t have to work for me

anymore.” He had always been a man who valued his employees and was not the type to be angry

with someone for no apparent reason.

When he heard Sam’s grumbles about Alice, his heart throbbed in agony, though. At this moment, he

couldn’t handle any negative comments directed at his wife. In the meantime, he never stopped

walking, and as soon as he finished speaking, he left before anyone could

react.

However, Sam was taken aback after hearing that and had not expected to be dismissed for

expressing his opinions. Yes, I admit that I should not have gossiped about Mrs. Knight, but I didn’t say

anything particularly hurtful comments about her. I speak only the truth!

On the other hand, Caleb was so dumbstruck by what had happened that it took him a while. to regain

his composure.

“Is Mr. Knight serious about what he said earlier?” Liam whispered, now that he was sure Ethan was

out of hearing.

“Have you ever seen him joke around before, especially about something like that?” Caleb responded

with a sharp glare. He then turned to Sam. “I told you to work more and speak less. You just had to run

your mouth. It would have been fine if you were talking about. anything else. Why did you have to talk

about Mrs. Knight? What will you do now?”

“How would I know?” After saying that, Sam was stumped. Working for Ethan was his lifelong dream,

and he did so because of his deep respect for the man. From the moment he began working for Ethan,

he never considered leaving.

“How about we plead for mercy?” Liam was usually a man of few words but had a big heart, especially

since they had always gotten along.

“Plead for mercy? Do you wish to die?” Caleb glanced at Liam and sighed silently. “You didn’t notice

the expression on Mr. Knight’s face as he spoke; it was calm and emotionless. Rather than appearing

angry, he seemed to be distancing himself.”

“Something about his actions seemed off to me as well. What happened between him and Mrs.

Knight?” Liam had also noticed the same thing.

“Let’s not ask about it. From now on, no one will say a single word about her.” As he said this, Caleb

gave the other two men disappointed glances. “Use your brain. Don’t anger Mr. Knight during this time.”

However, Liam was still concerned about Sam’s situation and asked, “What about Sam?”

“He will head back home and spend some time with his family. So, no one should mention Sam’s name

in Mr. Knight’s presence for the next few days.” Caleb paused before continuing, “We’ll put this issue

on hold until we can find Mrs. Knight. Perhaps, there is hope for Sam if she begs mercy on his behalf.”

When Sam heard those words, his eyes widened in shock. “I just badmouthed her. Would she even do

that? Had my wife found out I had spoken ill of her, she would have chased me with.

a knife.”

“If you know that, why the heck did you run your mouth off?” After saying that, Caleb wished

he could punch Sam in the face. “You should probably go home first. Remember, don’t show

your

face around Mr. Knight for the next few days. I’ll come up with a solution.” Naturally, he did not want

Sam to leave, but he was aware that in Ethan’s current state, the mere presence. of Sam in front of him

could provoke Ethan to do something unthinkable.

“Fine. I’ll head home. Please keep me informed of any developments.” Sam didn’t spend much time

brooding or fuming over what had transpired. After all, he knew he was to blame for gossiping about

Alice. He reasoned that if he were in Ethan’s position, he, too, would have been incensed to overhear

someone badmouthing his wife.

“Let’s hurry up and find her. Hopefully, we’ll locate her quickly, or else Mr. Knight might go crazy.” When

Caleb recalled Ethan’s expressionless face from earlier, he couldn’t help but

worry.

“If we don’t find her, we might also go crazy.” Liam was a reserved man, but he was unusually talkative

today.

Silence engulfed the room as Caleb and Sam listened to his words and agreed with Liam’s

statement.

In contrast, Ethan had been holed up in the room reviewing surveillance footage when he suddenly

recalled something, prompting him to leave and retrieve it from the Knight Residence.

Meanwhile, at the Knight Residence, Lawrence had been away on a business trip for several days, and

when he returned around midnight last night, Ethan had already left.

On the third floor, Holland and Marie were taking care of Caroline, and when she became tired from

playing, they all went to sleep.

At that moment, Lawrence opened the bedroom door to find Britney still waiting for him. Nonetheless,

she did not say anything about what happened to Alice.

Due to his exhaustion from the trip, he did not report to the office the next morning, so nearly everyone

was at the breakfast table. When he didn’t see Alice, he asked, “Where is Alice? Why isn’t she here?”

As he was aware that Ethan was frequently out of town for work, he did not inquire about his son’s

whereabouts and instead asked about Alice.

When Britney heard this, her body stiffened, and she ducked her head to hide her guilt.

On the other hand, Holland would never publicly tell his son what his daughter-in-law had done, so he

lowered his head and concentrated on his food.
