    **Chapter 536 The Hidden Blueprint**


    Tess’s gaze wasser-focused, her determination palpable in the air. Even the driver, usually unfazed by the hustle and bustle of the world outside, seemed to hold his breath in anticipation.


    “We’re here!” he announced, mming on the brakes with a sense of urgency that echoed in the cabin. As he exhaled a long sigh of relief, the tension in the vehicle dissipated momentarily.


    “Seriously, what’s the rush—” he began, but before he could finish his thought, the backseat was already void of its upant.


    With the speed of an arrow released from a bow, Tess bolted from the car, vanishing down the path in mere seconds, her adrenaline propelling her forward.


    The driver blinked in astonishment, rubbing his eyes in disbelief as if to confirm he hadn’t imagined the scene. “Kids these days…” he muttered under his breath, shaking his head in resignation.


    Meanwhile, Tess had already reached the threshold of Henry’s study. Memories flooded her mind from her time in Krigan; Henry had always been a phantom presence, constantly away on business trips, barely home for more than a fleeting few days. The study had often felt like a deserted ind, its shelves cluttered with dusty tomes that had been neglected for ages.


    The revtion that Shannon was still alive, coupled with the knowledge that Henry frequently traveled abroad with her, ignited a flicker of suspicion in Tess. Perhaps he had relocated some assets overseas? But as she pondered the thought, a sense of certainty washed over her—Henry was too meticulous, too guarded to stash anything of importance far from his immediate reach.


    This vi in Aetheris, with its pristine fa?ade, felt increasingly suspect to her.


    With a quiet determination, she eased the door closed behind her, her eyes darting around the immacte room.


    The desk was impably organized, likely the result of the housekeeper’s diligent efforts.


    Tess approached it with purpose, her fingers deftly tugging open the drawers beneath the desk.


    Inside, she found ledgers and ounting books—nothing particrly noteworthy at first nce.


    As she flipped through several pages, her instincts kicked in; the numbers had clearly been manipted.


    **Chapter 536 The Hidden Blueprint**


    It was evident that someone had gone to great lengths to alter the data.


    She methodically checked each drawer, but her search yielded no promising results.


    Standing upright, she sighed deeply, rubbing her lower back, her eyes scanning the orderly study with growing frustration.


    Had she miscalcted?


    Her brows knitted together as she reyed the clues in her mind, but no matter how she approached the puzzle, her conclusion remained unchanged.


    A nce at her watch revealed that nearly forty minutes had slipped away.


    A bead of sweat began to form on her forehead.


    Though Henry and Kylie were absent, the presence of housekeepers lurking about heightened her anxiety.


    I must act quickly.


    Her gaze sharpened as she turned towards the bookshelf, meticulously lined with volumes.


    While hope was a dwindling me, she knew she couldn’t afford to overlook any potential hiding spots.


    As her fingers brushed against the spines, she suddenly froze. A thickw dictionary caught her eye, its cover seemingly out of ce.


    Her heart raced, a quickened thump echoing in her chest. She reached up and pulled it from the shelf, examining it closely.


    Henry had never pursued a legal education, and as the head of Ember Group, he had little to do with such matters. Nadine, on the other hand, was blissfully ignorant and lethargic. So what was aw dictionary doing here?


    Her instincts red. Tess traced her fingers along the book’s spine, sensing something was amiss.


    With careful precision, she opened it. Tucked between the pages was a single, ttened sheet of paper.


    Her breath hitched in her throat as she gentlyid it on the desk and unfolded it.


    Before hery a detailed blueprint of a factory’s interioryout.


    I was right!


    **Chapter 536 The Hidden Blueprint**


    Excitement ignited her spirit. She strained her ears for any sounds outside the door while swiftly pulling out her phone to capture images.


    She meticulously photographed every section of the map, ensuring both close-ups and full views were documented, then carefully returned the blueprint to its original resting ce, ttening the pages and recing the book exactly where she had found it.


    From a distance, it appeared untouched, undisturbed.


    Next, Tess approached Henry’sputer, her heart racing as she powered it on.


    Opening the security camera software for the entire house, she plugged in a USB drive. With the program running, Raven could remotely ess it, erasing any trace of her presence in the study and recing it with footage of an empty room.


    Once everything was set, she crept quietly toward the door.


    Just as she was about to pull it shut behind her, she froze, hearing faint sounds from within.


    Footsteps. The rustle of fabric. Someone was approaching.


    Meanwhile, at the furniture store, Henry cast anxious nces toward the entrance, his brows knitting together in concern.


    Abel, for once, was speaking more than usual, his voice animated. “This project represents one of the Shaws’ biggest investments this year. We’ve poured an immense amount of manpower, resources, and capital into it…”


    “Uh, Mr. Shaw, hasn’t Tess been gone for quite some time?” Henry finally interjected, his tone careful yet tinged with urgency.


    His eyes gleamed with eagerness, but the tension in his face revealed a hint of anxiety.


    Abel frowned, clearly irritated at the interruption.


    Sensing the rising tension, Nadine quickly interjected to ease the situation. “Perhaps she’s not feeling well. I can give her a quick call.”


    Abel’s expression shifted, and he made a move as if to stop her. “Tess isn’t a child anymore. If something were wrong, she would have texted us. She mentioned she was going to the restroom, so there’s no need to call.”


    Nadine looked up at him, her face a mix of confusion and worry. “But Mr. Shaw, it’s been nearly an hour since she left. Even if she went to the restroom, it shouldn’t take this long. If something is genuinely wrong and we wait too long, it could lead to serious consequences.”


    Henry felt his chest tighten, his heart beginning to race with an unsettling urgency.
