Chapter 456 Gone Without a Trace

Ethan stayed silent.

He stood off to the side, eyes fixed on Tessa.

At this point, she was his last hope.

He wasn't the type to give up until the very end.

Simon stood by too, at a loss for what else he could do.

But Tessa only shook her head.

"You can't help with this."

She wasn't trying to be rude-it was simply the truth.

He had done everything he could.

And it still wasn't enough.
