That made sense.


    "Don''t worry, Mr. White. I have sent people to look into the owner of the car. Our guards have also been sent to the Pgos Estate. We''ll find clues soon. Ms. Cylon will be back safely. You just need to rest."


    I could only hope for the best.


    However, I had a bad feeling about this.


    Just now, I had promised to take care of Felicia. Yet, something like this had happened...


    I was useless. I had let everyone down.


    As I was waiting, Crystal called. She really could not take no for an answer.


    In order to stop her annoying behavior, I picked up the phone and said, "If you''ve got anything to say, just say it. I''m not in a good mood. I have no time to entertain you."


    Crystal was taken aback. Then, she said slowly, "I only saw that you weren''t picking up and I was worried about you. Why are you being so harsh?"


    "Who do you think you are to worry about me? Why would you of all people get to worry about me? Look after yourself. Stop calling me."


    I hung up immediately.


    After a while, she sent another message. "I''m relieved to hear that you''re fine. Sorry for disturbing you."


    I deleted the message in frustration.


    If not for her, I would''ve got onto the cruise. If that happened, Felicia would not have gotten bullied, nor would she have gotten into a foreign car. All of this would not have happened. I resented Crystal for this.


    I waited for a while more. When it became unbearable, Quintus sent a document over to me.


    "Mr. White, we''ve got news about Ms. Cylon."


    I got up immediately and asked him, "How''s Felicia?"


    Quintus'' lips parted but he said nothing. He asked me to sit down as he opened the document in his hands.


    "Mr. White, please calm down. Listen to me while I exin."


    A bad feeling came over me.


    "First, we''ve found the owner of the car. It''s a rich kid called Dn Yates. He didn''t know Ms. Cylon prior to this. For some reason, he developed an interest in Ms. Cylon and took her away to Pgos Estate.


    "Half an hourter, she ran out of the mansion and ran almost a mile. Then, she got into an ident."


    He ced a picture in front of me.


    It was Felicia, taken by the surveince camera.


    Sheid motionless on the ground with blood pooling beneath her. I felt as though


    I had been submerged in an ice bath.


    "Where is she now?"


    Quintus said slowly, "Mr. White, pay attention to the timestamp."


    I picked up the photo and checked the time. It was yesterday evening!
