<b>Chapter </b><b>55 </b>


    Beatrice knew Edgar well, and as she hinted, his expression shifted from gloomy to furious. “How dare she?” he muttered<b>. </b>


    But deep down, he was worried. So, Edgar called over his bodyguards and ordered them to track Briar’s whereabouts after school that


    afternoon.


    By sheer coincidence, the bodyguards followed Edgar’s instructions and checked the surveince footage from the entrance of Shoneport


    University.


    They found Briar, with her school bag on her back, getting into the backseat of a limited–edition ck Bentley after being invited <b>by </b><b>a </b>tall


    man in a suit.


    Due to the angle of the surveince camera, they couldn’t see the face of the man who opened the car door for Briar, but judging from <b>his </b>silhouette and the luxury of the limited–edition Bentley, it wasn’t hard to guess where Briar had gone after school.


    “How dare she?” Edgar fumed as he watched the footage sent by the bodyguards.


    He couldn’t believe Briar had the audacity to get into <b>a </b>strange man’s car so brazenly right at the school gate, especially after the scandal <b>that </b>had erupted on the forum just this morning.


    Now, everyone at Shoneport University knew she was the heiress of the Jennings family. And now<i>, </i>she had just left the school gate with an


    older man.


    Edgar was convinced that Briar had left with an older man without even seeing the man’s face.


    It was obvious. An unloved heiress like Briar wouldn’t be able to attract a suitable young man. It was more likely that some wealthy older men, who liked young girls like Briar, had approached her.


    Edgar, being a man himself, knew exactly why wealthy older men targeted powerless young girls. They were easy to deceive and easy to discard. And afterward, there was no need to worry about them causing trouble.


    A girl like Briar, who had relied on an older man’s mone


    dumped.


    to get into Shoneport University, would be even less likely to make a fuss if she got


    Edgar closed his eyes, almost able to envision the future humiliation and mistreatment Briar would endure, with no choice but to swallow her pride and suffer in silence. ‘What a disgrace to the family,‘ he wondered.


    Halle, beside him, clutched her chest in anxiety. “Edgar, what are we going to do? We have to send someone to find her. It’s sote already. If we wait any longer, something really bad might happen.”


    Edgar sighed and called over the bodyguards again. “Find out where that car is now and bring Briar back home,” he instructed.


    “Yes, sir,” the bodyguards replied, though they were inwardly dreading the task.


    A Bentley like that wasn’t just expensive; it was a global limited edition. Only someone with significant influence could get their hands on it.


    So, the owner of this car was likely another hidden tycoon from Shoneport<b>, </bing to Shoneport University to seek pleasure.


    How are we supposed to find Miss Jennings once she was taken by such a powerful figure? Even if we find her, we wouldn’t dare to take her away,’ they thought.


    As the bodyguards hurried off, Beatrice, in a corner where no one could see, curled her lips into a mocking smile.


    She even took the opportunity to secretly forward the surveince footage to her phone when Edgar wasn’t looking.

    Halle<b>, </b>supporting the furious man, stood at the door. “Edgar, don’t worry too much. Briar <b>isn’t </b>a child anymore. She know night from w Maybe things aren’t as bad as we think?”


    “I hope so,” Edgar snorted. But deep down, he wasn’t holding out much hope.
