horn blared from behind them.

Alice glanced at him. When she was about to ask something, her phone rang. She quickly answered the call, putting it on speaker.“Ms. McMorrow, is there something wrong?” “We just found that the money Chloe transferred has disappeared.”

“Disappeared? What do you mean?”

Alice’s heart sank.“Did Darren take the money?”

“We’re

not sure yet. We’ve already sent people to trace its whereabouts.” Elena hadn’t expected things to escalate like this. To her surprise, someone was still trying to track down the missing money.

Jack’s voice was cold and sharp.“What the hell are you all doing? How could you miss something so obvious?”

“Sorry, Mr. Wilson, it was our oversight. We thought everyone had fled, assuming he’d be trying to avoid detection. We didn’t expect him to be bold enough to move the money.” Elena’s voice trembled with anxiety, clearly feeling the weight of their mistake. Jack’s voice was icy.“Find them. Use whatever means necessary to track down this person.”

“Understood.”

Elena ended the call abruptly.

Alice stared at her phone for a moment, then said, “Take me to my apartment. I’ll go after him myself.”

If the money had been taken, there had to be evidence somewhere.

Jack stepped on the gas, speeding back to Alice’s apartment.

Alice kicked off her shoes and ran barefoot to her study, opening her laptop immediately.

She dialed Elena’s number.“Sync the data to me.”

“Right away.”

Alice’s fingers flew over the keyboard, eyes focused intently on the screen.

Jack changed into comfortable shoes and walked in. He carried a pair of slippers in his hands, bending down to help Alice put them on.

Alice was so absorbed in her work that she didn’t notice what was happening around her at all.

Jack stood by, watching her, then turned to make a phone call, his thoughts running. Something about this whole situation felt off.

He couldn’t shake the feeling that something had been overlooked.

Was Darren capable of pulling this off? Disappearing so suddenly, yet managing to steal the money?

Alice sat in front of her laptop for hours, barely taking a break. In the end, she tracked down the
