A shy yellow sports car arrogantly halted in front of the shop. From the driver’s seat, Robert, dressed in a sk ck leather jacket, got out with an air of cool defiance.


    He was the sole proprietor of the shop, but in order to escape his father’s control, he kept a low profile, hence the shop wasn’t named after him.


    It was a hub for him and his wealthy friends who were passionate about cars. The rich and the reckless gathered there.


    And because of this, ICE Auto Shop had the mostprehensivework of wealthy families in Stonebridge City.


    If you were smart, if you knew how towork, you could learn anything you wanted to know in less than a day at ICE.


    Entering the lobby, several of these rich kids were lounging around on the sofas, some ying video games, some flirting with girls,


    Seeing Robert walk in, Wade Charles, the heir to the Charles Group, abruptly stood up and blocked Robert’s path with a mischievous smirk. “Mr. Fitzgerald, you’ve been away from the shop for too long! If you don’te around more often, I might just im it as my own!”


    Robert gave him a cool nce, “You’re dreaming, Wade. Where’s Kent?”


    Wade pointed upstairs, “In the darkroom. He’s been in there for days, fiddling with who knows what.”


    Kent was the mechanic of the shop, not only skilled in car repairs, but also in fixing various mechanical parts. Marguerite’s phone was currently being repaired by him.


    Hearing this, Robert immediately headed for the stairs, but Wade suddenly ran up and blocked his way again.


    “What now?”


    Wade nced at the other rich kids behind him, then mysteriously pulled Robert into a corner.


    “Mr. Fitzgerald, there’s some news about your family. I heard from my dad that Hackett Fitzgerald has been looking for your sister.”


    Robert’s eyebrows twitched, “And?”


    Wade, seeing Robert’s indifference, was exasperated.


    “And what? Your father said if you don’t want to inherit the family fortune, he’ll let your sister inherit it all! You need to go back home before it’s toote! Robert didn’t seem to be fazed, “I’d actually like to meet this alleged sister of mine. If she wants to inherit the family fortune, that’s fine by me. Then, my father won’t be on my case all the time.”


    Unlike the other rich kids, Robert lived as he pleased. He had many interests-medicine, coding, racing-but no interest in inheriting the family fortune. He did have a sister, but she mysteriously disappeared shortly after birth. The Fitzgerald family had been searching for her for twenty-two years without any leads


    In fact, Robert had started this auto shop and gathered all the car enthusiasts in Stonebridge City, partly in hopes of gathering useful information to find his sister.


    “Mr. Fitzgerald, have you lost your mind? The Fitzgerald family is second only to the Winstons! You’re willing to give all that money to a sister you’ve never met?”


    Robert shrugged, his hands in his pockets, “Money isn’t that important to me. If my sister wants it, she can have it all.”


    Wade was speechless with shock, he pped his forehead and blurted, “You’re a fool! An absolute fool


    Wade stormed off, and Robert headed upstairs.


    His sister’s return to inherit the family fortune was secondary. His main concern was his mother’s mncholy over their missing daughter


    He remembers the day his sister was born, it was also his sixth birthday. He had been so excited that he had left his birthday cake untouched and ran to the hospital


    His little sister had been born prematurely and was frail and weak. Shey in the incubator with her eyes closed, but her little mouthing movements as if she wanted to drink milk, were etched deeply into Robert’s memory


    His sister was clearly going to grow up to be beautifull


    Robert was so enamored with her that he put his own bracelet on her small ankle. The bracelet had a small lock that could only be opened with a password


    He wanted to keep his adorable sister close forever, but things took an unexpected turn, and she was stolen when she was just three days uld The perpetrators had nned it well, destroying the surveince cameras and evading the bodyguards By the time they realized, it was toote His worst fear is that his sister was sold to a remote and unpoverished area by human traffickers


    Regardless, he was determined to find her


    Lost in thought, Robert had reached the darkroom


    He pushed the door open the room was dimly lit, with only a deskmp beside Kent shedding a faint light


    Robertid his hand on Kent’s shoulder and asked softly “Kent, is the phone foxed yet?”
