Sebastian still couldn't forgive Felicia's ruthlessness and patience. Her ability to quietly dismantle the family without breaking a sweat felt cold and calculating, far from the sibling he thought he knew. His sister wasn't supposed to be someone with such a deeply ingrained It made her... frightening.
Mike, however, found it all amusing. The mess within the Fuller family was well-known in Khogend, and he was privy to plenty of the details. The irony wasn't lost on him.
"I've heard of murderers paying for their crimes, but I've never heard of someone being resented by their own family for exposing the truth about a killer." Mike smirked, his tone dripping with disdain. "You say she's nothing like a Fuller. Honestly? Thank God for that." He didn't bother sticking around to see Sebastian's reaction.

Mike made one last stop at Union Clinic.
According to the senior physicians there, Felicia hadn't shown up in four or five days.
With no trace of her, Mike was at a loss. He didn't know how he'd explain this to Stephan. As he stood deliberating his next move, his phone rang again. It was Stephan. Mike answered hesitantly, "No luck. I've checked everywhere she might be, but there's no sign of her." Stephan's reply was curt. "Understood." The line went dead.
Mike let out a long sigh. He knew what was coming-Stephan would mobilize his own people. If Felicia was truly missing, the fallout would be massive.
Turning his car around, Mike prepared to head home. As he drove past Union Clinic and its rival, Harmony Medical Center, something caught his eye. He slammed on the brakes.
When he arrived earlier, he hadn't noticed the charred remains of Harmony Medical Center's signboard. Now, in the fading light, the damage was obvious. The building bore clear burn marks, and the interior looked half- destroyed. What the hell happened here? Mike's mind raced. Could Felicia's disappearance be connected to this fire? Without hesitation, he spun the car around and headed straight for the Walsh residence.
"Start from her last known places. Trace her steps and find out who she saw, where she went-anything. I want updates the moment you learn something." Meanwhile, Stephan had already dispatched his team.
After issuing his orders, Stephan's scowl deepened. An oppressive presence surrounded him, his anger simmering just beneath the surface.
His sharp, commanding tone left no room for error.

When his assistant, Thomas Bolt, entered his office, he felt the suffocating pressure immediately. It was as if the air itself had thickened, weighing heavily with an icy tension.
Before Thomas could speak, Stephan's voice cut through them silence, It was calm yet commanding, "I heading to Khogend. Handle the company in my absence." With that, he strode out of the room.
Thomas stood there for a moment, stunned, before scrambling after him.
m "Mr. Russell! You just got back to NO Seldvale, and you're already leaving?" Stephan didn't respond, his long strides taking him toward the exit.
Desperate, Thomas blurted out, "Mr. Russell! Ms. Russell just called. She said she's not feeling well and asked if you could go see her." Hearing his sister's name, Stephan stopped in his tracks. His brows furrowed slightly, almost imperceptibly, but his tone betrayed his concern. "Did she not go to the hospital?" "She said... she'd prefer it if you accompanied her," Thomas relayed the message carefully.
