Bianca and Drake soon appeared on the big screen while chatting in the hotel backyard.
In the background, the PA system emitted sounds.
Bianca: "I've already bribed two Hamerton bodyguards... When the time comes, you just need to cooperate with
them and kidnap the child. I'll give you a substantial amount of money!"
Drake: "A girl?! What's the point of stealing a girl? They're not worth much!"
Bianca: "Shut up! Just do what I asked! Kidnap the child I requested!"
Bianca's face turned pale, and her knees gave way as if all the air had been sucked out of her.
"So, this lady was attempting to kidnap the Hamertons' daughter?" someone remarked.
"There have been some strange occurrences lately, especially this year. That's the Hamertons and Thompsons'
most precious princess! Does she think she can just snatch her away whenever she pleases? Ha!" Another person

"No, no." Bianca stammered in panic. "That's not what I was trying to do. Please let me explain, Zuko!"
Lina glared coldly and retorted, "Your voice was clear. What's there to explain? Are you going to claim it wasn't you
in the video?"
"Bianca, you've bitten off more than you can chew," Zuko said.
He took a few imposing steps forward, silencing the room. "Do you believe that the Hamerton bodyguards are so
easily bribed?"
"What?" Bianca lifted her head, only for two individuals to walk in—the bodyguards she thought she had
successfully bribed. Their expressions were cold and impassive.
"You betrayed me?" Bianca exclaimed after a moment of stunned silence.
"Are you messing with us, Ms. Mosley?" Lina smiled. "They're our bodyguards, just doing their job, not 'betraying'
you."
The Hamerton bodyguards were the elite of the elite. They underwent rigorous training and professional
psychological evaluations during the hiring process. Anyone failing the tests would be disqualified. Moreover, the
Hamertons provided them with exceptional treatment. Betraying such a benefactor would be unwise.
Hence, they had promptly informed Zuko when Bianca had tried to bribe them, leading to heightened security for
Sephy. However, they hadn't anticipated Drake's interference in the plan or kidnap Nala.
Bianca sat on the ground, panting heavily. She was drenched in sweat as if she had been pulled from the water.
A few attendees from the Mosleys were also present at the banquet, but they kept a low profile amidst the crowd.
Fleur, however, confronted them directly.
"The Mosleys are known for their prestige, but how did they raise a daughter like that?" Fleur's voice echoed. "It
appears our generations-old friendship ends here!"

"I'm sorry, aunt! I was confused. I never intended to kidnap the Hamertons' little girl... Please, help me, aunt. I..."
"Confused?" Lina interjected angrily. "You plotted to kidnap my daughter just to frame Lena! Your plan was devious
—you even used a child! And now you seek mercy?"
"That's right!" The usually composed Elijah stood up, his voice trembling. "No parent can forgive someone who
harms their child!
"Bianca, you hurt my daughter, and I will ensure you pay dearly for it."
Bianca made several attempts to stand but failed, eventually lying on the ground, overcome with fear.
Chris arrived at the ballroom entrance just as the police officers arrived. Pete grinned knowingly, nudged him, and
said, "This time, we're really here to apprehend someone, right?"
Chris nodded, giving a thumbs-up and pointing toward the room. "She's in there."
Pete organized a group to escort Bianca away.
