He nced at Coleman a few times, but Colemanpletely ignored him.


    With no one to back him up, Jonathan was left to carry the charade alone.


    Although they were fairly certain Aurora had been kidnapped by King Wright, they had no evidence.


    Someone had to be held responsible for the incident, if only to give Aurora a sense of justice.


    In that case, the best person to me was Ste Cameron.


    Since Coleman wasn''t ying along, Jonathan had to speak up himself.


    "After our investigation into Aurora''s kidnapping..."


    Before Jonathan could finish, he was interrupted by a clear, pleasant male voice.


    "What happened to Ms. Williams is deeply regrettable. It takes a lot of nerve to kidnap the daughter of the prestigious Williams family.


    During Ms. Williams''s disappearance, Star, as her sister, has been worried sick.


    If the culprit was bold enough to kidnap Ms. Williams, they mighte for Star next. Star has only recently returned to the Williams family andcks a strongwork, so she couldn''t contribute much to the search for Ms. Williams.


    However, she was able to do some digging into the perpetrator.


    Our investigation revealed that Beckett Torres, the head of the Torres family, has been closely monitoring Ms. Williams''s movementstely.


    The disappearance of Ms. Williams is undoubtedly connected to the Torres family." Joshua Gardner''s sudden deration stunned everyone.


    Skyler Williams frowned. "The Torres family? But we have no dealings with them."


    An idea seemed to strike Jonathan, who added, "Father, a while back, Star entered into a partnership with the Torres family."


    Israel Williams wasn''t foolish enough to lead the charge, but he certainly enjoyed the drama.


    He sneered, "Well, well, Joshua. Are you admitting that Ste and Beckett have some secret deal?"


    Joshua nced at him. "The Torres family has no prior rtionship with the Williams family, yet they suddenly struck a deal with Star. Isn''t that strange in itself?"


    At Joshua''s words, both Skyler and Jonathan grew thoughtful.


    It was true. The Torres family''s sudden partnership with the Williams family was very odd.


    But with Aurora''s disappearance, they hadn''t had time to look into it.


    Jonathan asked, "What does this have to do with Aurora''s disappearance?"


    Joshua exined, "The Torres


    family was monitoring Aurora and


    also partnered with Star. I suspect


    you may have inadvertently


    offended them.


    So, not only did the Torres family kidnap Aurora, but they also nned to kidnap


    Star.


    Star is always apanied by


    bodyguards, making her a difficult


    target. But once the project


    partnership was established, they


    could use the coboration as a


    pretext to get close and abduct her."


    Jonathan let out an exasperatedugh at Joshua''s twisted logic. "So you''re saying Ste is the victim here?"


    It was an open secret that King Wright had kidnapped Aurora; they justcked concrete proof.


    But Ste and Joshua had caused trouble in Germany, and somehow Aurora was the one who ended up being kidnapped.


    It was highly probable that Aurora was taking the fall for Ste.


    Therefore, holding Ste responsible for Aurora''s kidnapping wasn''t entirely unfair.


    Now, Joshua was trying to paint Ste as a victim with just a few words. It wasughable.


    As if reading Jonathan''s mind, Joshua said, "Of course, my word alone isn''t very credible. Mr. Williams can have someone look into it.


    We shouldn''t frame an innocent person, but we can''t let a guilty one go free, either."
