Kaitlyn released a sigh, swallowing the words that had been on the brink of escaping her lips.
The Evelyn Reed was still missing, and a cold dread had settled in Kaitlyn's heart, whispering that the woman
was likely in peril.
Yet, she felt powerless to intervene, not merely because the person of interest was her own son, but more
critically, due to the absence of any tangible evidence.Less than an hour later, Alexander made his return. He
stepped into the living room, his gaze sweeping over the room before landing on a young woman seated beside
Kaitlyn.
His eyes lingered for a moment before he moved towards them.Kaitlyn, engrossed in a lively conversation with
the woman, noticed Alexander's entrance.
She immediately waved and greeted him with a warm smile. "Alexander, cjoin us," she beckoned. The
woman also turned to regard Alexander, a spark of joy flickering in her eyes.
Alexander, however, removed his dark brown coat, tossing it to a nearby servant, and loosened his tie before
striding into the living room.
Instead of joining Kaitlyn, he chose a solitary seat diagonally across from her. The first thing he did upon settling
down was to light a cigarette. The sound of the lighter echoed loudly in the quiet living room, and his aloof
demeanor created an awkward tension that hung heavily over Kaitlyn and the woman.
He hadn't even acknowledged her presence when he entered.Kaitlyn, quick to diffuse the tension, turned to the
woman with a reassuring smile. "Ms. Allen, this is Alexander. | believe you're already acquainted with him."Ms.
Allen responded with a nod and a smile.
"Yes, we've crossed paths before, but never had the opportunity to converse."It was common knowledge that

At a previous social gathering, a lady had approached Alexander for his contact information only to be publicly
rebuked by Getty, causing the woman to flee in tears. Instead of reprimanding Getty, Alexander had indulged
her, and since then, it was widely known that Alexander had a lover whom he deeply cherished.
After that incident, no one dared to approach Alexander.
His devotion was so profound that he seemed to dismiss the attention of other women.
Kaitlyn found a sense of pride in Ms. Allen's words, basking in the allure of her son's charm."Alexander, meet Ms.
Allen.
She returned to the country last year and is currently studying abroad. | thought you two could get acquainted,"
Kaitlyn suggested.
Alexander took a long drag from his cigarette, remaining silent for a few moments before speaking. "So, is that
why I'm here today? To meet her?"Ms. Allen, feeling a bit awkward, quickly explained, "Your mother invited me.
I'm not entirely sure about the specifics."Her words were diplomatic, but internally, she was well aware of the
situation.
With Alexander's status, even if he was smitten with Getty, he was destined not to marry her. He could only
marry someone of equal standing.

Kaitlyn interjected, "We invited Ms.
