Yvette put down the coffee cup, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly; her fingers were long and well-defined.
Her voice was low and deep, exceptionally pleasing to the ear as she said, “What did you find out? Was my
mother’s disappearance related. to Nellie? Or was it related to the Smith family?”
Zachary didn’t speak, as if he had fallen into memories, his eyes filled with extrregret and pain. After a long
while, he scoffed himself and spoke, “You're right; the past was complicated. When | met your mother, she

Zachary held his head in his hands, his eyes red, the veins on his temples bulging, getting more and more
agitated as he spoke. If he hadn't been so naive back then or trusted his father, Lilian wouldn't have disappeared
so mysteriously and ended up dead in a foreign land.
Zachary looked up at Yvette, who was expressionless, and suddenly calmed down. He gave a wry smile and
continued, “I was too ecstatic back then. | didn’t notice the unease and determination in Lilian’s eyes. Your

Yvette’s expression altered. He looked at Zachary, pursed his lips and his eyes darkened, “What happened
next?”
Zachary shook his head. “It wasn’t your grandfather. After Nellie married into the Chambers family, | found a
piece of paper with a special mark while tidying up your mother’s belongings. | tooka long tto find out
where this mark came
from.”
Yvette raised his eyes, his dark gaze cold, “Where?”
Zachary was feeling a bit conflicted. He didn’t want Yvette to get involved in this mess, but he was certain she'd
dig into it no matter what he said. After much internal struggle, Zachary finally revealed what he’d been
investigating for years.
He said, “Yvette, are you aware of the country’s three major labs? The physics and physics labs are the most
enigmatic, always under the highest level of national protection, holding the nation’s top secrets. This symbol
here is from the physics lab. Back in the day, they had a branch in Seacrity. | suspect that Lilian’s sudden
disappearance might have something to do with this lab. Your mother was always a bit of an enigma, always
seeming to carry a heavy burden of secrets. At that time, Nellie used a child as leverage to try to marry into the
Chambers family. | was against it at first, but then one day, by chance, | overheard her making a call to a
stranger, mentioning Lilian’s name. | only caught a few words, but I’m sure Nellie was Involved in your mother’s
disappearance. Not many people know that the head of the physics lab, Rashad Pollard, used to be comrades-in-
arms with Nellie’s father Dennis. They were very close. The Smith family even invested in a project at the
physics lab, but it was never made public. | couldn't find any information on it; it must be top secret. That's why |
eventually agreed to marry Nellie, hoping to find sclues on her. But unfortunately, I've cup empty-
handed all these years.
Zachary’s face was grim. State-owned labs were off-limits to merchants like them, so even if Lilian’s
disappearance had something to do with a physics lab, he was powerless to do anything about it. “I-If someone
could get into one of the three major labs, maybe there's a chance to uncover the truth of what happened back
then; why would Lilian leave Seacrity when.
she was five months pregnant?
Yvette lowered her eyes, deep in thought, an intimidating aura surrounding her. Her delicate features were filled
with coldness. “I will get to the bottom of this. With that, she stood up and left.
Zachary stared at her retreating figure, motionless for a long while.
After returning to her dorm, Yvette went to the balcony and pulled out her phone, dialing a number casually.
As soon as the call connected, Yvette spoke bluntly, “Move the company to Betrico in the second half of the year.
Without waiting for a response, she hung up.
Yvette looked out the window at the busy traffic, her eyes wild and rebellious, menacing and daring. She
thought, ‘It is becoming more and more interesting sn't it? A physics lab?”
The next day, all the newspapers
cws sites were filled with headlines about what had happened at the Chambers residence the night before, Eye-
catching titles were everywhere. But now everyone in Seacrity knew about Winona’s scandal. Yvette’s identity as
Cyanbird, and the news of Zachary’s divorce from Nellie.
