Chapter 143

Just as Asher arrived at the Blackwood residence, Grace’s car polled into the underground car park of the family

home

The two entered the house one after the other.

In the ground floor drawing room, Lady Blackwood, Andrew, and Catherine were waiting for them on the sofa

Asher entered with urgency, his composed voice belying the anxiety churning within him. “It was Thalia’s friend who contacted the police. She couldn’t reach Thalia and became concerned, so she reported her missing. The police only contacted the Winters family to confirm Thalia’s disappearance. The authorities don’t yet know she’s been kidnapped by Malfoy, and since she’s only been missing for a few hours, they haven’t officially opened a case.”

Asher’s expression was grim, his dark, fathomless eyes cold with determination.

“Malfoy has called demanding that I come alone-

“Absolutely not! You can’t possibly go alone!” Grace interrupted before Asher could finish, her voice pitched with genuine alarm.

Since learning about Thalia’s kidnapping by Tom Malfoy, Grace had been in unusually good spirits. She had even been humming to herself on the way to the Blackwood residence.

However, upon hearing that Asher planned to rescue Thalia alone, her cheerful mood instantly evaporated.

Grace’s expression became agitated, her voice tense with concern. “Malfoy certainly won’t let you leave alive. It’s far too dangerous for you to go alone. We should inform the police and have them accompany you!”

Asher’s brow furrowed, his tone deadly serious though perfectly measured. “That’s out of the question. We cannot involve the police. If Malfoy discovers we’ve contacted the authorities, he’ll kill her immediately.”

Grace persisted: “But her friend has already reported her missing. The police already know she’s disappeared.”

“As I just explained,” Asher replied with forced patience, “the police only know she’s missing, not that she’s been kidnapped. If we coordinate with the Winters family and inform the police that she’s been found, the matter will be closed. Then we can focus on rescuing Thalia.”

Andrew asked, “What’s your plan for the rescue?”

Asher’s expression was resolute. “Malfoy is targeting me. I’ll exchange myself for her.”

“You’ve lost your mind!” Andrew exclaimed.

“You can’t!” cried Grace.
