"Understood!"

Amid Walter's frantic preparations to dash downstairs and drive after Evangeline, his phone rang.

His subordinate's voice came through, trying to sound light despite the bad news, Sir, we've lost track of Mrs. Walter Gordon...

Walter's fists tightened, fury bubbling up inside him. "A bunch of useless fools!"

Evangeline was in a fragile state, emotionally shattered. Without someone by her side, who knew what might happen? He could not bear to think about it.

As he wrestled with his worries, a call came in from his mother, Aria.

"Walter, you wouldn't believe the racy photo your wife sent today." Aria clucked disapprovingly. "A woman like that, so flighty and flirtatious, just doesn't belong in the Gordon family. You need to kick her out, and fast." Aria was smug, waiting for Walter's agreement. Instead, a frosty voice came through the phone.

"Mom, cut the act. I know you're behind all this."

Aria's heart skipped a beat. Walter's voice had never been so icy. "Walter... What are you saying? I don't quite follow."

With Evangeline missing and their relationship strained by misunderstandings, Walter was at his wit's end and had no patience for his mother's games.
