NovelEnglishNot wanting to watch someone die in front of her, Kiki spoke up, saying, "Uh, let's just forget it. He didn't really
do anything to Zac. Also, Zac was the one who pulled his pants down first." She thought to herself that she'd
have to ask Zachary why he'd done that in the first place once they found him.
Tristan was frustrated and anxious, especially after having reviewed several surveillance videos. He turned back
to Kiki. "What did you just call me? 'Uh'? Do | not have a name?" The sudden seriousness in his tone made Kiki
flinch.
Tristan rubbed his temples and then gave a different order to his subordinates. "Just throw him out."
"Yes, sir."
Kiki breathed a sigh of relief and returned her attention to the surveillance footage.
After Zachary had gotten away, he hadn't appeared on any of the cameras.
Tristan then had the external surveillance checked, and it confirmed that Zachary hadn't left the hotel.
"This little rascal must still be hiding somewhere in the hotel," Tristan muttered. He then instructed Winston,

Seeing that Tristan was genuinely concerned about finding Zachary, Kiki refrained from scolding him further and
joined the hotel staff in searching for Zachary.
Jeremiah was still wide awake and reading a book at Lane Mansion. Zoey had already returned to Yandell
Mansion and was waiting for him to pick her up.
Suddenly, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, his pupils narrowing as he quickly answered.
He wasn't entirely sure if Yvette was the one who'd called so he remained silent until he heard her familiar voice.
"Jeremiah, can we meet?"
Jeremiah had already received word that Mark was searching for Xavier. If Yvette wanted to meet, it was
certainly about Xavier.
He responded calmly, "Yvette, it's quite late. What's the matter? I've already gotten in bed."
Hearing him say that he was asleep, Yvette recalled what Mark had mentioned that Xavier's sudden
disappearance might be connected to Jeremiah. But she found it hard to believe. The Jeremiah Yvette knew had
always been gentle toward everyone. He even took care of stray cats and dogs on the street. How could he
possibly harm his own brother?
"| just wanted to ask if you've seen Xav. He didn't cback after attending the gathering today, and he's not
answering his phone. Mark mentioned that you were at the event too." Jeremiah listened to her voice and the
sound of wind over the phone. Instead of answering her question, he asked, "Where are you right now?" Yvette
didn't hide the truth. "Not far from Lane Mansion."
She had originally planned to go directly inside to ask Jeremiah, but as she'd gotten closer to the gate, she'd
realized that it might be inappropriate.
Zoey already suspected her of trying
to seduce Jeremiah, and as a sister-in-law, it didn't seem right for her to visit his hlate at night. So, she
decided to have him cout instead.

When Jeremiah heard that Yvette was right outside Lane Mansion, he looked out the window. The wind was
howling, and snow was falling heavily.

"I'll csee you now."
"No need. Just let Xav know—" Before Yvette could finish her sentence, Jeremiah had already hung up the phone.
Jeremiah soon hurried out the door with an umbrella.
Outside Lane Mansion, Yvette stood by her car, holding an umbrella as the freezing wind and snow blew against
her, chilling her to the bone. She rubbed her hands together to keep warm.
It wasn't long before she saw Jeremiah walking toward her quickly with an umbrella in hand.
"It's so cold out here. Why didn't you wait in the car?" Jeremiah asked when he saw Yvette. Her face was already
turning purple from the cold.
"There are other cars parked out here, so | was worried you might not seeif | stayed inside," Yvette replied.
Jeremiah couldn't help but be
reminded of their childhood. On
rainy days, she would also stand out
in the rain waiting for him. Back then, she'd also said that she'd been afraid he wouldn't be able to find her with
so many people around.
