| yawned and said with a smile, "I'm in Whaldorf City. How are you and your child?"
Susan hummed and fell silent for a few seconds before saying, "I need your help."
This was her first tseeking my help, which surprised me. | asked her with concern, "What's wrong? Are you in
trouble?"
"Something happened in the Schumans lately and Tyler has been looking for help. He doesn't want you to help
him, but | want to do something for him. That's why I'm calling to ask for your help. Can you help Carlson out by
seeking connections and asking how he's doing?"
Her words startled me.
| sat up from the bed and anxiously asked," What happened to the Schumans? Tellin detail."
"Someone reported Carlson saying that he gave Tyler privileges to do illegal things. Carlson has always been

heard anything.
"Wanda, I'm sure Carlson knows a lot of people since he's been in Whaldorf City for so many years. Can you
please ask around for me?"
"Don't panic first, Susan. I'll ask my dad to help out. Are you halone now?"
"My baby and | are at home."
"Can you contact Tyler right now?" "I haven't been able to contact him.
Susan's voice quavered, sounding like she was about to cry. "I've called him many times, but it just won't go
through."
| quickly pacified her emotions. "Don't panic. I'll call my dad right now."
| hung up the phone and planned to call Grayson.
However, Theo snatched my phone away and stopped me. He embracedand calmly said, "Carlson has a
special identity. Maybe he has just gone to catch up with someone. It's not as serious as you think. He'll be back
in a few days."
"Your father's status and identity are no secret. If you rush him to send someone to ask around, then others will
find out how close Carlson and Dad are. Maybe something that wouldn't have gone wrong at first will suddenly
go wrong."
| was stunned and reacted in hindsight.
If he had not said that to me, then | would not have thought of it either.
If Carlson was truly guilty of something, then there would have been news a long tago. It did not make sense
that there was no news at all, which meant that he was innocent. This was all just a trumped up charge.

If Grayson got involved in this matter, then it would be difficult to explain their relationship. In the worst-case
scenario, Dad might even get implicated.
Out of urgency, | did not think too much about it earlier. After calming down right now, | broke out in a cold
sweat. | was glad that Theo had stopped me.
| raised my eyes to look at Theo. "What should we do now? Susan and Tyler are
both pretty anxious. We have to do something."
Theo's charming brows furrowed slightly.’ Tyler wouldn't be panicking like what Susan said. Otherwise, Schuman
Corporation would've closed down a long tago. What | can think of, he can think of it as well. I'll send
someone to pacify Susan, so don't worry too much."
| was stunned. After thinking for a long time, | finally understood what he meant, but | was a little confused. "If
Tyler knows about the situation right now, why isn't he explaining it to Susan and making her so worried?"
Theo gently sighed, saying with a face full of helplessness, "You forgot what happened to him the last tyou «
met him?"
