NovelEnglish“Carrie isn’t there?!”
Upon hearing the grim news, Bella and Justin panicked.
“She's not! I've searched everywhere, but she’s nowhere to be found!” Yasmin’s voice carried a hint of tears.
Bella forced herself to stay calm, softening her tone to soothe Yasmin’s emotions.
“Yasmin, earlier, you only told us that the kidnappers might've taken Carrie to the abandoned factory in the western suburbs. Now,
telleverything that happened. Who told you they took Carrie there?”
“Mr. Ralph and | had nearly caught up with the kidnappers. But the sassassin who took Carrie last tcout and blocked

“Him again?!” Bella felt her heart clench.
The image of Carrie's sketch, which eerily resembled her brother, Hugh, flashed in her mind.
“I couldn't beat him, so Mr. Ralph decided to hold him off while | went to rescue Young Madam!”

“Yasmin, Ralph is fine. He's already leading a team toward the location. Don’t worry. Don’t blyourself either.” Justin's deep,
calm voice patiently reassured Yasmin.
Bella thought quickly. A sudden realization struck her. She asked urgently, “What did that woman look like?”
“She wore a mask, but her eyes left a deep impression on me.”
Yasmin confidently said, “They looked very much like yours.”
“I see.”
Bella took a deep breath, her tightly coiled nerves finally relaxing a bit. “Yasmin, she’s our ally. | can’t reveal her identity for her
safety, but | believe the information she gave you is real and reliable!”
At this point, Justin had already figured out the woman's identity. However, his brows furrowed even deeper with concern.
Still anxious, Yasmin asked hoarsely, “If the information is accurate, why can’t | find Young Madam?!”
“Maybe she only overheard certain details and missed the specifics. But I'm sure Carrie wouldn't be too far from that area!”
Bella clenched her fists tightly. Her gaze was as sharp as an eagle’s. “That area is remote and desolate. There's nothing but that
factory, with no residential areas or other buildings nearby. Search the vicinity carefully. You're bound to find something!”
“Alright!”
As soon as the call ended, the couple exchanged a knowing look and spoke in unison, “Christopher!”
Whether it was this or the previous time, Christopher had always been the mastermind!
This explained why Liam could find such a powerful helper. It was because the assassin was one of Christopher's men.
It was Christopher pulling the strings. He attempted to use Liam to destroy Ryan, bring down the Hoffman family, and reap the
benefits after the chaos.
What sent chills down Bella's spine was that Christopher, having frequented the Thompson household since childhood, must have

Despite knowing the assassin’s resemblance to her brother, Christopher still chose to use him to harm her and Justin's dearest
friends.
Such insidious, ruthless, and deranged tactics!
As Bella contemplated, Justin's eyes darkened. It looked as though they were brewing a storm of rage. “| wont go easy on anyone
who messes with my sister and my best friend. I'm going to kill Christopher!”
