Chapter 170

"Have you found her daughter?" Elvira asked worriedly.

"Not yet," Zach replied, frowning slightly. "Spike has sent out a lot of people to handle this and has even tapped into other connections, but so far, there's no news."

Skylar listened and seemed to form a guess. She said, "Is it possible... that the kid is no longer alive? Otherwise, with a kid that big, where could she be hidden? No matter where she's kept, there'd be some trace. It's impossible for there to be nothing." Elvira hadn't thought along those lines. Slightly surprised, she looked at her mother-in-law and came to understand that she was someone who carefully considered every possible scenario. Compared to her, Elvira felt inexperienced.

Zach had considered that possibility too but was unwilling to accept it. If that child really was gone, it would be a devastating blow to Carmen. He could tell how much Carmen cared for her daughter.

Because of Carmen's situation, Elvira felt quite heavy-hearted. She truly hoped Carmen's daughter was safe and Zach could find her, so that mother and daughter could be reunited without suffering any further harm. If the child was really gone, Carmen's life would be unbearably tragic.

That day, Elvira needed to attend to some matters. Understanding the young couple was busy, Skylar mentioned that she wanted to visit some old friends since she hadn't been back to the country in years. She told them not to worry about her and that she wanted to have a free day to herself.

Zach thus arranged a car and driver for his mother. While Elvira went to pick up Vivian to see Morris.

Throughout the ride, Vivian was very nervous, frequently adjusting her makeup, hair, and clothing as if afraid of presenting anything less than perfection in front of Morris.

Seeing Vivian's anxious demeanor, Elvira couldn't help but sympathize with her. Vivian was now nothing more than a plaything to the rich, living a life worse than an ordinary person's. She was stuck in a living hell and could only be described as a truly pitiable soul. When they arrived at Morris's residence, he wasn't home. He hadn't even locked the door, perhaps because he felt he had nothing left to lose.
