Elyse murmured softly, “It’s not as serious as you make it sound.” Seeing Elyse’s careless attitude, Jayden sighed
in resignation. The elevator doors opened, and they exited, getting into their car. Upon arriving home, Jayden
quickly sent Pearce’s nto Tobin, requesting an investigation. Jayden expected the search to take a while, but
to his surprise, the report arrived in just ten minutes. After downloading the document, Jayden skimmed through
Pearce’s background. Finishing his read, Jayden looked puzzled. “It’s odd. Why would the heir of the Benson
family cto our city?”
While sitting next to Jayden and watching TV, Elyse overheard his words. She asked subconsciously, “What's
going on with Pearce?” Jayden didn’t respond to Elyse’s question. Instead, he went into his study and called
Clive. Clive was surprised to hear from Jayden. “Aren’t you supposed to be spending twith your wife these
days? Why are you calling me?” Jayden inquired, “What do you know about the famous Benson family in

Clive sounded confused. “I know a bit. Why do you ask?” Jayden, staring at the report, said, “Isn't it strange that
Pearce and Elyse have becfriends? He approached her claiming to be a fan.” Clive remembered seeing
Pearce after Elyse’s performance had ended. He had initially thought he was mistaken, but now it made sense.
“We haven't heard much from the Benson family recently. They primarily operate in the new energy sector and
don’t currently have any partnerships in our city.”

Jayden tapped his fingers on the desk and questioned, “Are you suggesting Pearce chere just to go
sightseeing?” Clive was silent. He took a long tto research a piece of relevant information from his memory.
Clive then said, “When | was young, my parents toldthat the Bensons had lost a son and had been searching
for him for years.” Jayden choked on Clive’s words and didn’t know what to say for a moment. After pondering
for a while, Jayden finally asked earnestly, “Do you think Pearce could be the lost son the Bensons have been
looking for?”
Clive replied, “No, | just recalled that story and thought I'd share it with you.” Jayden sighed. “I'll temporarily
assthat Pearce genuinely enjoyed how Elyse played the violin and beca fan.” While on the topic of the
violin, Clive added, “There's something else you should know. The Bensons despise the violin and have never
attended a violin recital.”
Jayden was puzzled. “What does that mean?” Clive explained, “I'm not sure of the details. It’s just something
that’s commonly said in Cambape. | only know that their dislike for the violin is tied to that missing boy.” Jayden
stroked his chin, feeling increasingly convinced that Pearce was simply someone who enjoyed violin music.
Pearce likely kept his hobby a secret from his family in Cambape, which could explain why he traveled to
Watscar. It all made sense.

After ending the call, Jayden felt more at ease. He left the study and saw Elyse practicing the violin, following
along with a video on her phone. Noticing Jayden’s improved mood, Elyse asked cautiously, “You're not angry
anymore?” “Sort of,” Jayden replied. He then shifted the conversation, asking directly, “Why didn’t you askto
go with you to the cemetery?”
Elyse explained, “It was a spontaneous decision. Pearce was there, and since you were busy, | accepted his offer
to accompany me.” Jayden’s anger eased, but he still felt a bit upset. Noticing his discomfort, Elyse soothed him
gently. “I promise not to do it again. Please don’t be upset. If you're upset, it upsetstoo.” She stood with her
hands on her hips and asked, “I'm already upset. Do you want to makeeven more upset because of you?”
Jayden’s lips twitched. Was he really the problem here? Lanny and Glenda returned hand took a while to
remember where they had casually stored the urns. After searching the ruins for a day and a night, they finally
located the basement door. Once they figured out how to open it, they entered the basement and discovered
two urns covered in dust. Lanny grabbed the urns and tossed them to Glenda, saying, “Clean these up and take
them over tomorrow.”
Glenda caught the urns and began dusting them off. As she did, a bitter thought crossed her mind, and she said,
“Do you think I can bring these urns to Jayden and persuade him to let our daughter go?”
