yton understood the gravity of the situation, "You don''t need to me yourselves. I get it, there''s nothing anyone can do about Hawkins Sea- freight."


    The two elderly men sighed deeply, each looking more guilty than the other.


    "We might not be able to help with the shares, but if you ever need anything in your day-to-day life, just say the word!"


    "After tomorrow''s shareholders'' meeting, those sharks will definitelye after you. You and Pam can''t stay in Ocean Bay anymore.


    I''ve talked it over with your Uncle Albert. We''ll set aside some money for you. Take Pam and find a quiet ce abroad to start anew." yton was moved but shook his head,


    "The thought means a lot, Uncles. But Pam won''t agree to leave Ocean Bay, and I won''t leave her. We''ll face whateveres our way. If they take me down, so be it. It''s my fate, and I ept it!"


    "Ah... Pam''s love for Irene is so strong, it''s ended up harming her."


    "By the way, yton, I heard about a girl named Elysia who looks a lot like Pam. Pam''s convinced she''s Irene. What''s all that about?"


    yton sighed, "Ms. Thorne bears a slight resemnce to Pam, but that''s it. I''ve asked; she''s not from Ocean Bay. She''s not Irene." Albert''s eyes flickered with curiosity,


    “That''s a shame. And Mr. Bradford, is he the cavalry you called in?"


    “Not at all. They were just tourists in Ocean Bay. Our paths crossed by ident; we had no prior connection."


    yton''s tone was sincere, clearly not lying. The elderly men exchanged looks, then asked,


    "So, there''s no chance for a turnaround at tomorrow''s shareholders'' meeting?"


    yton frowned, resigned,


    "I only have 40% of the shares, and they have 45%. I can''t win unless Irenees back."


    The elderly men exchanged another look, sighing deeply, clearly feeling for yton.


    Just then, yton''s phone rang. It was his assistant,


    "Boss, breaking news. Betty''s disappearance might be linked to those shareholders."


    yton''s expression darkened, "Are you sure?!"


    "No solid evidence yet, but it''s highly likely."


    yton gritted his teeth, "Keep digging!"


    After ending the call, yton hurriedly told the elderly men about his mother''s situation and excused himself.


    The men''s expressions turned grave,


    "We suspected your mother''s trouble might be linked to the Murphy family, or those shareholders. You hurt them yesterday; they might be seeking revenge!"


    "It wasn''t me who did that."


    "Not you?" The men were surprised.


    "No, not me. But I''m d. They had iting!"


    The men were puzzled, "If not you, then who? Mr. Bradford? The Patel family?"


    "Neither."


    The men grew even more puzzled,


    "But only you and the Patel family have such a vendetta against them. Besides, who else has the means?"


    "I''m not sure myself. I guess it''s some unsung hero! The Murphy family and those shareholders have made plenty of enemies; surely, someone righteous couldn''t stand by and took matters into their own hands."


    The elderly men: "..."


    After yton left, they pondered,


    "The Murphy family''s mansion burned to the ground, a massive loss! Hawkins Sea-freight''s shareholders, even with their bodyguards, were beaten to a pulp, all hospitalized!


    Larry''s been tortured beyond recognition! Helen''s been scared out of her wits!


    Such a feat, no ordinary person could manage!


    If it wasn''t yton or the Patel family, could there really be an unsung hero? Does Ocean Bay harbor forces we''re unaware of?"
