Sherry was extremely efficient.


    Before the sun even set, she hadpiled a list of all the properties the Rosses owned and sent them to


    Sylvia.


    She attached another message along with it. “Hey, Sylvia. My guy essed the surveince cameras in


    these properties and did not see any sign of Aunt Tonya or anyone suspicious showing up. Do you think


    there’s a chance they moved Aunt Tonya out of the city?”


    Sylvia frowned tensely.


    Judging by what she knew of Emmanuel and Dona, she doubted they would take so much effort to


    relocate Aunt Tonya out of the city.

    But if they did not relocate her out of the city, where could they have hidden her?


    She felt her head throbbing. She sat down on the ground and scratched her head until her hair turned


    into a tangled mess, and still, she could not figure it out.


    Her phone rang again.


    The caller ID was “Grandma”.


    Sylvia’s eyes brightened as she answered the phone immediately. Isabel’s sharine voice greeted her,


    “Mommy, have you eaten yet?” Sylvia smiled sweetly and answered tenderly, “I’ve eaten. Have you and


    your brother eaten?” “We just ate, and we’re waiting for you on the balcony behind the big meanie’s


    room!” Isabel said with a tint of excitement.


    Sylvia quickly told her, “I’ll go get the binocrs right now. Both of you, wait for me.”


    She formed a w with her hands and smoothened her hair. Then, she went to get the binocrs from


    the coffee table and walked to the yard.


    Like the previous two nights, Sylvia saw Liam and Isabel standing on the balcony through the binocrs


    Liam held the phone in between him and Isabel with one hand and grabbed the binocrs with the


    other.


    Isabel, meanwhile, was holding the binocrs with both hands and looking at Sylvia.


    With the binocrs, it was as if they were mere inches away.


    Sylvia smiled warmly and spoke into the phone, “What did you two eat tonight?” Liam answered,


    “Steamed eggs with pumpkin, and some snacks.” Isabel pouted. “It doesn’t taste good. It’s nothing like


    what Mommy cooks.”


    Liam echoed the same sentiment with a grunt.


    Sylvia found it rather humorous.


    The chefs in the Carter household were all professional and famous chefs, so how was it that their


    cooking was not up to standards?


    It would seem as if the children rated her cooking a little too high. They were clearly very eager to see


    her again. A glint appeared in Sylvia’s eyes as she told them, “Mommy has been quite busy recently.


    After I settle my things, I will talk to your father and see if I can take you back here and cook something


    nice for you. Does that sound good?” Isabel answered tenderly, “Okay, but hurry up, Mommy. We miss


    you so much.” Sylvia smiled. “Yes, Mommy will take care of things quickly.” That was when Ben, the


    bodyguard, appeared behind them. Sylvia heard Ben’s anxious voice through the phone. “Young Master,


    Miss, your father has returned. Please get out of here quickly before he finds you two here.” He lifted


    Isabel and Liam from the chair as he said this.


    Before the two little guys could say goodbye to their mother, Ben had taken the phone away. They were


    carried out of the room with smooth efficiency. When they were gone, Sylvia put down the binocrs.


    Although she did not get much time to talk with them, her mood was significantly alleviated. Now that she


    was in a better mood, her mental state was faring better as well.


    She sat back on the living room sofa and began to look through the messages Sherry sent her. If


    Emmanuel and Dona had not taken Aunt Tonya to any of their registered properties, they must have


    hidden her somewhere else.


    There was a certain risk to hiding her in anymon location, so they must have found someone they


    knew and could rely on.


    Who could this person be?


    It had to be the Ledgers with whom they were working now. When the idea urred to Sylvia, she


    promptly called Sherry. She requested, “Sherry, could you help me find out what properties the Ledgers


    own in the city?”


    Sherry answered, “The Ledgers have a couple of subsidiarypanies under their name and additional


    ounts, so it’s going to take very long.” Sylvia thought for a while and decided, “Let’s start with the


    ones under Michael Ledger.”
