In simpler terms, ine was broke.


    So, why had she spoken to Mrs. Wayne on the phone like a haughty, wealthy snob just a short whileter?


    Had she suddenlye into a fortune within such a brief time?<fna7c2> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? find·novel</fna7c2>


    Where could she possibly have gotten the money?


    Even if she had indeed be wealthy, why would she choose to vanish?<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Was it truly because she looked down on Mrs. Wayne and her father after gaining wealth?


    While it wasn’t entirely out of the question—considering her mother’s tendencies—what about the Thompson First vi, the dream home she had long desired?


    Logically, if she had stumbled upon a fortune, she would likely hide the money and remain in the luxurious vi, which suited her character. She wouldn’t just disappear with her newfound wealth and abandon the vi, especially since she hadn’t even spent a single night there yet.


    The more ire thought about it, the more perplexed she became. ine’s disappearance seemed to carry an odd and contradictory vibe.


    However, the investigation hit a dead end right where Mrs. Wayne had left it, leaving ire unable to uncover any more leads for the time being.


    She needed additional clues to unravel these mysteries; it was the only way to discover her mother’s location.


    If not, she might never find ine.

    Charlie aimlessly drove through the city center, his thoughts consumed by his mother-inw.


    He wished to spare his wife from the torment he saw growing in her, but he hadn’t quite figured out how or when to release ine.


    As he drove through an intersection, he noticed a striking message on a billboard: “Attention, citizens! Let’s unite against illegal pyramid schemes and eradicate the root of these money-sucking scams! Together, we can create a safe and harmonious Aurous Hill!”


    An idea sparked in Charlie’s mind as he read the slogan. He quickly called Isaac and inquired, “How is my mother-inw faring in the detention center?”


    Isaac’s respectful reply came through the phone, “Mr. Wade, your mother-inw has faced physical hardships in there. It appears that everyone in her cell has taken a dislike to her and has been rough with her.”


    Charlie responded with a soft ‘good’ and remarked, “Well, she treated Lady Wilson terribly, and the olddy must hold quite a grudge. I doubt she’ll make it easy for ine. A little suffering might be just what she needs.”


    Isaac cautioned, “Mr. Wade, have you considered how to handle this situation? With all the suffering she’s endured, if you let her out, I’m concerned she won’t let it go. She’ll definitely seek you out once she’s free.”


    Charlie chuckled lightly. “Don’t worry about that. I have a n in mind, but I’ll need your assistance. We need to orchestrate a grand performance for her.”


    Isaac quickly replied, “Absolutely, just say the word, and I’ll be ready to assist.”


    Charlie smiled faintly and added, “I don’t intend to release her just yet. When the timees, I’ll reach out to you.”


    “Understood, Mr. Wade!”
