Cecilia knew she should not have asked forthat.

But ever since she found out that Natalie was not her daughter, she became obsessed with finding her biological daughter.

When she learned that her daughter had lived with that man for so many years, it worried her.

She didn't know what kind of life her daughter had been living all this time.

"Mother, I'm still searching. Please don't worry," Tobias reassured.

Cecilia nodded. In matters like these, she had no doubt about Tobias's capability. She trusted him completely.

"I'm sorry, Tobias. This is all my fault," she whispered guiltily, aware of the hurt it brought him.

The daughter that she was searching for was Tobias' half-sister which Cecilia conceived with someone else, and not Tobias' father.

"Everyone makes mistakes. You don't have to blame yourself."

Hearing Tobias's understanding answer, Cecilia felt a little more relieved.

She knew her son well. Although he was usually cold-hearted, he was also gracious and forgiving.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have achieved such tremendous career success at such a young age.

"By the way, are you also investigating the identities of Natalie's biological parents?" Cecilia asked again.

Tobias nodded solemnly. "Yes."

Cecilia gave a deep sigh. "Natalie is the one who suffered the most from this matter. She has the right to know where her biological parents are. We owe her an answer."

Tobias's eyes were as clear as spring water, promising, "Mother, I'll definitely give her an answer."

Then, Cecilia thought of someone else.

Madison.

When Cecilia had just arrived in Agaphen City, she had a lot of matters to take care of. Plus, she was busy taking care of Natalie at home, so she did not have time to visit Madison. It was now high time to see her.

Cecilia stared into space, her eyes flashing briefly with a vicious gaze.

The apartment door swung open creakily, breaking the silence of the cold night.

When she heard the sound of the door opening, Madison jumped in surprise. It had been ages since someone came by.
