The winter was over, and the snow melted under the hot sun. The frozen lake had defrosted, and a
boat had been searching for someone for days and nights. The mountain turned into flat land, and
there was even a huge hole. Anthony had bought this land in the name of developing it; no one dared
lay their fingers on it in the first place, and it could not be developed into anything at first. But it was
easy for him to get approval; no one would restrain him from doing anything to this land.
Less and less people are putting their attention on the Crawford family now. Once every week or two,
some media would report the search for the daughter of their family. The entire Crawford family was
mourning; Byrson took leave again, whereas Cloud and Max broke their own rules and used their
connection to search for her. With a huge noise, the defrozen river flew into the huge hole and filled it
up.

The hole was too deep, and they had to drain the water as they dug deeper now. Blake was worried.
What if Lilly is about to get out from under the water and is drowned by the water?
“Mr. MacNeil…” Layton did not know what to say. Three months had passed! Even if she’s really down
there, she would be dead by now. No one could survive being buried for three months. But Layton did
not dare to say it out loud. If this were not the case, he would be able to joke with him and say that
Blake was becoming fierce like his old self. He was actually even scarier than he once was in the war.
Someone came over to ask if they wanted to continue to drain the water. Layton sighed, “Yes, please
add on ten more machines.”
Edward walked up to them and said, “Let me take over from here.” He worked in the construction field,
so he knew how to handle it. He looked at the deep hole right in front of him; the mountain was long
gone, and the huge hole had formed. Deep down in his heart, he actually knew that there was no hope
left; three months had passed. But he also knew that everyone would be devastated if they decided to
stop digging; as long as they were trying, they could all live in their wishful thinking, hoping Lilly could
be back one day. He turned around, and they were tearing up together.
At that moment, a decent, tiny girl wearing a pink skirt was skipping toward them; she was imitating
Lilly’s behavior. “Uncle Blake, I’m here to send you the lunchbox!” She raised the pink lunchbox in her
hands and looked at him. She was the granddaughter of the family that self-declared itself to be the
God of War. There were three children in that family; all of them went back to their hometown except
for the daughter, who was married to a rich man. That daughter could somewhat be considered Blake’s
cousin; she kept a low profile when Blake was reconstructing the MacNeil family. Now that she knew
Lilly was missing, she had some plans coming up. She knew Blake disliked her, but Yena was

Indeed, he would not do anything to Yena; she reminded him of Lilly. His heart was hurting looking at
her. At the beginning, he merely carried her and shooed her away; yet, she did not feel insulted; she
felt that it was fun. After that, Blake decided to just ignore her. So Yena would just come to him once in
a while. She would not give up, even though he ignored her all the time. “Uncle Blake, I made the lunch
myself; why don’t you give it a try?” She tried to sound as cute as she could.
Mommy told me if I’m able to be close with Uncle Blake, I can have a luxurious life. No one can bully
me, and I can surpass my elder sister! People always say that my mommy is the mistress. So although
Daddy is rich, the two of us are still humiliated everywhere we go. She did not know what a luxurious
life was, but she did not want to be looked down upon or bullied by her elder sister anymore! She knew
that Blake pampered Lily a lot, and her mother told her that Lilly must be dead by now. It’s okay for
Uncle Blake to treat me like this for now; as long as I don’t give up, I can succeed! And Mommy and I
will have a better life!
