But where was Arnold now? After his face was disfigured, he becconsumed with deep hatred toward Asher and left without hesitation. Would he cback? Where could they find him? "We'll have to think of another way," Ralph said, fully aware of Asher's current emotional state. He shook his head, feeling disheartened.
"I'll go look for him." Asher closed his eyes briefly before opening them again, his gaze filled with a heartbreaking sadness. “I still have sold connections in Meridan. I'll reach out to them and ask for their help in locating Arnold. I'll do whatever it takes to find him, even if I have to skip meals and sleep. I'll find him as fast as I can." Axel and Ralph's hearts felt heavy as they looked at Asher's sorrowful expression.
"We need to act fast. I'll assign people from KS Group to assist you in Meridan. The longer this drags on, the worse it will get," Bella said.
At this moment, Bella no longer cared about being polite to her brothers.
She then turned her serious gaze toward Ralph and said, “Ralph, we might need your help. We'll have to use your police network." Facing the strong-willed younger sister, Ralph straightened up, nearly saluting. "Just tellwhat to do!" "Investigate Dr. Wagner's background," Bella instructed. "His family, his work, his personal life, and any relatives he has in Savrow. I want details about his private life as well," Bella said, her gaze cold.

Bella said, "There's only one explanation for Dr. Wagner blatantly violating his professional ethics, leaking a patient's medical records, and risking his entire career to stand against Justin." Her voice was cold, and her delicate fingers turned her teacup slowly. "Grant and Clarice must have offered him something irresistible or blackmailed him to force him to take this risk."

Does he not realize that the Thompson family could easily crush him? How could he be so clueless?" Content belongs to en.kikistoriesBella raised an eyebrow, half amused. "Axel, you don't sound like a righteous prosecutor anymore. Now, you sound like a ruthless gangster." Axel slammed the table. "Justin is being treated this badly! How could I not behave this way? I'd tear Grant apart if I could!" The Thompsons' hidden playful side emerged, and the tension in the room began to ease.
After all, power, wealth, and fwere nothing compared to life or death. Justin had not reached that point yet.
But everyone hoped to protect the empire Justin had painstakingly built over the years. They wanted to help him and protect what was his.

She had poured all her energy into this, sacrificing sleep and peace of mind to safeguard him.
"Clarice is a dangerous person," Asher said, his tone somber as he pulled himself together. "She's no different from Christopher. They're both Grant's pawns and key to exposing his schemes." Ralph's heart tightened, his eyes beginning to fill with tears. "Then... What about Jace? No, I mean, Hugh?" Bella's heart ached, but her voice was steady and firm. "Hugh is different. Even if he had lost his memory, even if Grant had brainwashed him, I believe he still has kindness in his heart. One day, het be fully awakened."
