At the same time, the Eastcliff Banks Family was in turmoil.


    Lord Banks picked up the phone and fought the impulse to hurl it across the room. As he read the news, fury erupted from him: “Damn it! What is John Garrett thinking?! Why was Zara in that car?! Where are Deana and Zara right now?! And what about John Garrett and the others?!”


    James, trembling with fear, tried to maintain hisposure. “Dad, John Garrett ispletely unreachable. Both Sister-inw and Zara are missing, and we have no idea if they’re alive or dead. Do you think someone is intentionally targeting our family?”


    Lord Banks was solely focused on eliminating Deana. It was James who had ordered the search for Tate Landry to avoid futureplications. They had paid Tate Landry 20 million to eliminate Zara. Now, with the incident unfolding and Zara still unounted for, the situation was dire. If this information leaked, Lord Banks’s reputation would be ruined. Thus, he attempted to shift the focus onto those who might be opposing the entire Banks Family.


    With a grim expression, Lord Banks remarked, “This situation is baffling. People are missing, yet there are no leads. It’s all very strange! In all my years in this line of work, I’ve never faced such an odd scenario!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    He continued, “There are so many things I can’t wrap my head around. For instance, why was Zara in that car? Tate Landry was shot by John Garrett. I had clearly instructed John Garrett that the target was Deana. Not Zara, not Fitz. If they were at the auction site, I told him not to harm them. Fitz had already flown back to Eastcliff and didn’t attend the auction, so why was Zara involved? This clearly goes against my orders!”


    James interjected quickly, “Dad, could it be Tate Landry’s doing?”<fn2da7> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? find?novel</fn2da7>


    “Impossible!” Lord Banks replied firmly. “I know Tate’s methods. He’s ruthless, but he ns everything meticulously. Every operation he’s handled in the past has been executed wlessly, with strict adherence to the n—he never acts on impulse! That’s why he’s been on the run for so long, but has never been caught. He would never make a decision without permission. He knew better than to take Zara along.”


    Suddenly, Lord Banks’s demeanor shifted, and he eximed, “Someone else must have directed him to do this!”


    James felt a chill run down his spine at his father’s words. He quickly added, “Dad, since Tate Landry was in contact with John Garrett and was overseeing this situation, his disappearance raises rms. I suspect he might have beenpromised by our rivals or hidden enemies!”


    After saying this, James closely monitored Lord Banks’s reaction. His strategy was to direct attention to John Garrett’s sudden disappearance. “Regardless, John Garrett has already failed in his duties. Now with him missing without a trace, I’m sure you’re less than pleased with him. ming him right now would be the simplest solution! Who knows if John Garrett is even still alive? If he’s dead, we can pin everything on him, and he won’t have the chance to defend himself!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
