Sherry was extremely efficient.
Before the sun even set, she had compiled 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 accessed the surveillance 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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe caller ID was “Grandma”.
Sylvia’s eyes brightened as she answered the phone immediately. Isabel’s saccharine 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 binoculars right now. Both of you, wait for me.”
She formed a claw with her hands and smoothened her hair. Then, she went to get the binoculars 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 binoculars
Liam held the phone in between him and Isabel with one hand and grabbed the binoculars with the
other.
Isabel, meanwhile, was holding the binoculars with both hands and looking at Sylvia.
With the binoculars, 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

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 binoculars.
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 any common 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 occurred 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 subsidiary companies under their name and additional
accounts, so it’s going to take very long.” Sylvia thought for a while and decided, “Let’s start with the
ones under Michael Ledger.”
