Chapter 1761
She slowly opened her eyes to find herself reclining in the plushfort of an airne''s bed. This was
a bedroom within the sky, and there was Romeo, crashed on the solo armchair by the bedside, fast
asleep.
No sooner had she stirred than Romeo''s eyes flickered open. "Awake? Bad dream?" he asked, voice
tinged with concern.
"No, just a bit thirsty," she replied.
Without missing a beat, Romeo poured her a ss of water and handed it to her. "Your mom called just
before we boarded. She wanted to chat with you, but I told her you were sleeping. Told her we''d be
flying home and you''d see her tomorrow."
Mom? Home?
Arabe nced at him, noting how naturally the words rolled off his tongue now. She took the water
and sipped.
"Your brother Hans called too, checking in on you. I reassured him you''re fine. Compared to what
you''ve been through, this is just a breeze," Romeo said as he took the empty ss from her, setting it
aside. He sat down next to her, tenderly stroking her hair and added, "He also mentioned that Erik
skipped town, left his own daughter behind without a second thought."
“He must think that after all these years, even if the family is furious with Serena, they wouldn''t actually
take her life. At worst, they''d kick her out, but they wouldn''t kill her."
Arabe''s voice was calm as she dissected Erik''s mindset, "But with Martha gone, he''ll definitely make
a move. It''s just a question of who his next target will be. The Collins family is big, and keeping all of
them safe around the clock is a tall order."
Dozens of servants with ns to visit family or travel for the holidays, or those staying at the Collins
estate.
Key corporate employees from all over the ce, who knew where they''d be for the festivities.
Her dad''s friends and her mom''s, including her brothers and their partners, and even people close to
her.

"The holidays areing up, and there''ll be more visitors than ever, especially with mom and dad
going public about your identity. Lots of people will want to meet you, and you''ll probably attend some
high-profile events to get the word out. It''s going to give Erik plenty of opportunities. It''s hard to cover
all the angles, but I''m going to assign more security to keep Reflections Vi safe and to apany
you on trips. Most importantly, we need to catch Erik in the next few days."
As soon as Romeo finished, his phone began to vibrate. His private jet was equipped with inte and
phone connectivity.
He slid his finger across the screen to answer. After a short conversation, he turned to Arabe, "The
assants from the hotel have been identified. They''re from another organization that''s been in cahoots
with Doom. You think their goal was to take you out. Could it be that Erik is part of this group? Maybe
they tried to finish what Martha couldn''t?"
"It''s possible," Arabe didn''t dismiss the idea.
If Erik and Martha were involved with different factions, working for different masters, with multiple
powers offering them protection.
Then it was likely they''d belong to different organizations.

"I''ve got people checking if the past incidents are linked to this group. If there''s a connection,
everything starts to make sense, including Erik''s identity."
Romeo nced outside at the sky, "You''ve only slept for three hours. Try to get some more rest. Leave
these matters to me."
"I want to call Jack," Arabe said, a hint of concern in her voice about the safety of Reflections Vi.
Romeo handed her his phone. She dialed, and before the ring could sound twice, Jack picked up
immediately, "Mr. McMillian? Are you asking about Boss'' whereabouts? I''m not sure where she has
gone."
