He grabbed his phone and dialed Millard’s number with a sense of urgency in his voice, “Is Xavier in J City?”
Millard responded immediately, “Yeah, he’s here. He has never left.”
“Okay.”
Jonathan hung up the call, his mind still swirling with unease that seemed to grow with every discrepancy he
found.
No!
He needed to see Estelle now!
Only seeing her in person would ease his mind!
Snow was falling heavily in J City, grounding private planes, so Jonathan decided to drive to C City.
In the afternoon, Josiah returned from the docks and went straight to Amiee’s house. As soon as he walked in,
he asked, “Any news from Estelle?”

Amiee shook her head, “Nothing. She hasn’t sent any orders in the last couple of days, and for the past two

days, all video calls with Jonah switched to recording mode.”
That meant Estelle couldn’t conveniently take video calls.
Josiah frowned and asked, “It’s been two days?”
“Yes!” Amiee stared at her phone.
“Could Estelle be in danger?” Josiah’s face turned pale.
“If she were in danger and her phone died, Eagle Valley would send out a silent alarm to notify me. But there’s
been no activity from Eagle Valley,” Amiee explained.
Still uneasy, Josiah said seriously, “Amiee, I think I should go look for Estelle. I can’t focus on anything here in J
City. I’d rather go check on her myself.”
“We need to stay calm at times like this and follow Estelle’s plans. She hasn’t told us to act, and we shouldn’t
take matters into our own hands and mess up her plans,” Amiee stated firmly.
“But I can’t stay calm!” Josiah frowned tightly, “And if it’s always recording mode, Jonah will eventually notice
something’s off. No matter how advanced the technology, it can’t compare to a real person.”
Rather than waiting for Jonah to come to him, it would be better for him to find Estelle first!
Amiee suddenly said, “You reminded me that there’s a flaw in my setup. The timing for the video switch is
always the same. I’ll go change it right away.”
It had only been two days; hopefully, Jonathan hadn’t noticed.
By the time Jonathan arrived in C City, the sky had turned dark.
