Wilfred sneered. He didn't even bother to look at her and turned to leave.
"Wilfred!" Delilah suppressed her emotions and approached him, speaking in a low voice. "Even if you don't care for
Harvey, think about yourself... I heard that Harvey has been with Toph Hamerton, but now both of them are
missing."
"What did you say?" Wilfred was taken aback, his brow furrowing. "The second Hamerton heir?"
"Yes." Delilah looked at him. "Perhaps, as you said, Harvey and Toph might be off somewhere, but I tried calling
Harvey's phone just now, and there was no answer. Wilfred, leaving Harvey aside, the Hamertons aren't someone
to mess with! If something happens involving the Hamertons at our event, then it could —"
"Go and find them immediately!" Wilfred changed his stance immediately. "Inform security and search every
possible place in the hotel. Ensure Toph's safety!"

hopeless and devoid of any light.
They had been married for so many years, and Wilfred had despised her for just as long. It was precisely because
she couldn't find any warmth from her husband that she had taken a wrong step, getting involved with another man
and having Harvey.
Even though Harvey was her biological son, his existence was a constant reminder of what she had done, a blemish
in her life. She even hoped that Harvey would disappear forever this time...
Delilah suddenly shivered, a chill running down her spine. She hated herself for having such thoughts, yet she
couldn't deny those feelings.
The conflicting emotions in her heart felt like a twisted rope gripping her soul.
"Mom..." Jodie walked over and gently held her arm. "Don't worry. Harvey and Toph will surely be found."
Delilah rubbed her temples, feeling utterly exhausted.
Jodie continued, pretending to care. "Shall I go and look for them too? After all, I grew up with Harvey. I understand
his temperament, and I know where he likes to go."
Delilah waved her hand with a frown, a bit annoyed.
Jodie obediently complied, a sneer playing on her lips.
How could they possibly find them?
After knocking out both Toph and Harvey, she swiftly had them transferred to a car in the underground parking lot.
She was familiar with the entire hotel's layout, so she blocked the surveillance cameras on their route while they
were being transferred.
By now, the car had driven quite far. It was a remote place. Wilfred's people couldn't possibly find them there.
Jodie smiled as she finished her champagne with a proud jut of her chin.

Until the end of the banquet, Zuko hadn't found his brother.
Now that most of the guests had left, he called Toph, but the phone kept showing it was switched off.
Chris and Lena searched the entire hotel but couldn't find a trace of Toph.
"He's been close to Harvey," Chris reminded. "Could it be... he was invited to the Newhouses' home?"
"But even then, his phone should be on!" Lena said, "Toph might be easy-going, but he's also sharp at crucial times,
let alone do something to worry everyone!"
"Exactly." Zuko's tone was heavy. "Toph isn't someone who doesn't know his responsibilities!"
Perhaps due to the connection between siblings, Zuko's heart was beating faster than usual, a sense of foreboding
creeping in.
"Zuko, calm down first." Chris glanced at the little girl sleeping on his shoulder. "Let's take Sephy back first. Let
Lenny watch over her, and then we'll continue searching."
Zuko nodded helplessly. For now, that was the only thing they could do.
