In reality, that car belonged to Dn.


    Felicia was brought straight to Pgos Estates. She only realized she had been deceived when she came face-to-face with Dn. After multiple rounds of negotiations, Felicia finally found an opportunity to escape.


    However, after sprinting for her life for nearly a mile, she was involved in an ident. What happened next was essentially what Quintus had learned from the doctors. After being rescued an hourter, she was taken away by someone. Beyond that, there were no further updates.


    I squeezed my eyes shut tightly after reading the document.


    "Quintus, tell the police to punish Roxanne and Dn as harshly as possible!"


    Quintus replied calmly, "Don''t worry, Mr. White. The evidence of their crimes is indisputable, not to mention the fact that Felicia nearly died. Since it involves the White family, they''re likely to be sentenced to at least ten years in prison."


    Ten years of imprisonment was catastrophic for a young couple who had just turned twenty. The best years of their youth would be spent behind bars. However, this punishment could not extinguish the hatred burning within me.


    "Inform the judges that they are not to ept any appeals for a reduced sentence, no matter who is behind it! If theymit any new crimes, their sentences must be increased."


    Quintus appeared surprised, as though he hadn''t anticipated my feelings for Felicia to run so deep so quickly. He nodded immediately and said, "I understand."


    "In that case, do you have any updates on where Felicia might be now?"


    Quintus hesitated, as though something was holding him back.


    I frowned and gritted out, "Tell me!"


    "Yes, sir. None of this information is confirmed, but I used mywork and uncovered some news. Ms. Cylon seems to have been taken away by someone from a powerful family."


    "What do you mean by that? Which family?"


    Quintus hesitated again before saying softly, "It''s the Maxwells."


    The Maxwell family?


    I was confused. "What family is that? Why have I never heard of them?"


    Quintus exined, "I''m not surprised you''ve never heard of them. They don''t have much of a presence here. Most of their activities are concentrated in the Sumn and Murca regions. I know they have some power in Ninefort."


    "However, I''ve heard that their faction is currently facing internal divisions. I don''t know the details. They''re a very secretive group."


    "No matter how secretive they are, in this century, everything is an open secret. What do they do for a living?"


    "They work in the pharmaceutical and weaponry industries."


    I froze. If they dabbled in those industries, they definitely weren''t some run-of-the- mill minor family.


    Suddenly, I remembered Laura telling me about Felicia''s biological mother, who hailed from a powerful family that hadn''t weed Felicia''s birth and even tried to kill her.


    Felicia''s biological mother had died protecting her.


    Could that family be the Maxwells?


    I looked them up immediately but found no incriminating information.


    Quintus noticed what I was doing and said, "Mr. White, that won''t yield any results. You won''t find anything about them in this country. Maybe overseas, but even then, all you''d see would be a few pharmaceutical articles. Nothing elsees up. They''ve banned everything about themselves online."


    "Are they really that mysterious? What do they actually do?"


    Quintus shook his head slowly and answered, "Mr. White, I can only say that if Ms. Cylon truly belongs to the Maxwell family, you might never see her again."


    I felt as though I had been plunged into an icy bath.
