?Chapter 1667:


    Bernie’s re was razor-sharp. “Useless fools!” he spat.


    How could they fail to find a single girl?


    A nagging thought crept into his mind—what if Alfy had been kidnapped? A chill ran through him. He couldn’t allow that possibility. Teeth clenched, he yelled, “Find her—now! I’ll give you one more day. If you fail again, don’t bothering back!”


    His words sent a wave of unease through the room. No one dared to argue. “Yes, Earl Norris!”


    They quickly straightened up, bowing deeply before rushing out of the study, moving as if their very lives depended on it. Because in Bernie’s presence, they just might.


    Bernie watched his men retreat, his eyes narrowing with cold determination. He needed another n. The longer Alfy remained out there, the greater the danger she faced. He couldn’t afford to wait any longer.


    Without hesitation, Bernie picked up his phone and sent a message.


    News of Alfy’s disappearance inevitably reached Katelyn. She had been keeping a close watch on Alfy’s situation, constantly fearing something might happen to her.


    When she saw the news of Alfy’s disappearance, her expression instantly darkened. She immediately entered her study, diving into the frantic search for Alfy. She was so absorbed in her efforts that she didn’t even notice Ashlyn entering the room.


    Seeing Katelyn’s furrowed brow, Ashlyn immediately sensed something was wrong. “Katelyn, what’s going on?” she asked directly.


    Katelyn’s eyes were filled with unease, but she still answered, “Alfy’s gone missing.”


    Ashlyn’s face changed at once. “What? Alfy’s missing? How?”

    Though Ashlyn rarely involved herself in the tangled affairs of Yata’s nobility, she knew one thing—Alfy’s uncle was a man of immense power. And yet, despite his influence, Alfy had vanished without a trace. If she had fallen into the wrong hands, the consequences could be unimaginable.


    Katelyn didn’t respond. She continuedbing through the inte, searching for any leads. But no matter where she looked, Alfy had simply disappeared.


    Katelyn sat back, her mind racing. Thest avable surveince footage showed that Alfy had left voluntarily. That meant she wasn’t taken against her will—she had nned this escape herself.


    If that was the case, Alfy would undoubtedly try to reach her. Yet, despite searching every location tied to her name, Katelyn had found nothing. Alfy had erased all traces of her movements. Her hacking skills, though not as advanced as Katelyn’s, were still top-tier. Hiding her tracks would have been easy.


    There was no doubt—Alfy had done this deliberately. Otherwise, Katelyn would have found something.


    A flicker of relief settled in Katelyn’s heart. If even Bernie couldn’t find Alfy, it meant she was safe for now.


    Katelyn exhaled slowly, then leaned back in her chair and essed the hackerwork. Her fingers flew over the keyboard as she posted amission under TS’s name.


    “Find this person immediately. Ten million to whoever locates her.”


    The hackerwork erupted into chaos. TS, one of the most renowned hackers, was personally issuing a bounty? That meant whoever she was looking for had to be extremely important.
