Ronaldo remained suspicious.

Something didn’t sit right with him.

In the end, it was Tristan who made the final call. “Christian’s point stands. Let our sister rest today. Tomorrow, we’ll host a proper weing banquet at the Royal Hotel. Invite industry leaders and members of the press. We’ll make her identity as the Sue family’s Ms. Cassandra official.”

“Yes, Tristan,” Ronaldo responded promptly and went to handle the invitations.

Christian barely picked at his food before rising to excuse himself. “Tristan, I think I’ll head out too-”

“Stop.”

Tristan had no intention of letting him go that easily.

Christian froze mid–step. “Uh, Tristan… I don’t think I’m needed anymore, right?”

“The key.”

At that, Christian immediately fished out the key and handed it over. “Right here. I didn’t touch anything

else, I swear.”

“Who told you to have our sister release Halbert?”

That one sentence made sweat bead on Christian’s forehead.

“Go check on her injuries. After that, reflect about what you did.”

“…Yes, sir.”

Christian slunk off in defeat.

At the Foster residence…

The study was dimly lit. A secretary entered the room and handed a printed invitation to Henry.

“This was emailed from overseas and just printed out,” the secretary said.

Henry nced at him, eyes cold as ice.

“You used the wrong title.”

“My apologies–Mr. Henry.”

The secretary bowed his head immédiately, not daring to slip again.

“Book me on the earliest flight out tomorrow morning. I’m heading overseas,” Henry said tly.

“Yes, Mr. Henry.”

Once the secretary left, Henry picked up the invitation. Under the light, his eyes gleamed with a chilling gleam.

News reports were already buzzing with headlines: “The powerful Sue family has finally located their long-

lost heiress.”

Colton had just woken up. Hearing the ring news in the living room, he dragged himself out of bed and shuffled toward the sound.

“Lewis, could you not st the TV this loud first thing in the morning?”

He was currently staying at Lewis’s ceb. /b

Lewis nced at the screen, then at Colton. “You shoulde take a look at this.”

Colton frowned, thinking for a moment that maybe his own family had made the news. He walked over curiously, but the moment his eyes hit the screen, he froze in shock.

The broadcast was reporting on the Sue family’s heiress announcement.

“Oh, that’s all? My dad got some kind of invitation from overseasst night and left at the crack of dawn. I thought something big had happened–but turns out it’s just them finding their lost daughter.”

Lewis nodded. “Same with my dad.”

Which exined why Colton had ended up crashing at Lewis’s house.

“Gotta say, that girl hit the jackpot,” Coltonmented as he walked off to brush his teeth. “The Sue family searched all over, didn’t they think Naomi was the daughter? Guess not. Someone out there’s about to go from nobody to heiress overnight.”

Lewis fell silent.

“Lewis? What, cat got your tongue?”

“Eliza took the day off yesterday. Didn’t show up to school either.”

“So? She took a day off. Big deal.”

But halfway through his brushing, Colton paused–realizing what Lewis might be implying. “Wait. You’re not saying…”

“I suspect Eliza might be the Sue family’s daughter.”

Colton stared at him, stunned. “Eliza? The Sue family heiress? Are you serious?”

She didn’t exactly give off that kind of vibe.

Lewis remained calm. “It’s just a suspicion. But think about it–Eliza disappeared yesterday, and so did Ronaldo and Christian. Don’t you think that’s a bit too coincidental?”

Colton furrowed his brows. That… actually made some sense.

“Alright, I’m going to see for myself,” Lewis said suddenly.

“Huh?”

Colton blinked, thinking he misheard. “You’re just gonna go? Won’t it be toote?”

“I’ve already checked the next flight. Should make it in time.”

“Then let’s get Nn toe too.”

“Nn’s already there.”

Which only fueled Lewis’s suspicion. Nn had no interest in parties like this–unless something important was going on.

Colton didn’t hesitate. “Alright. Let’s go.”

Back at the Sue estate overseas…

Eliza had just started breakfast when she was informed about that evening’s banquet. She paused, puzzled.

“When did I ever agree to a weing party?”

“That was Mr. Tristan’s decision,” the housemaid exined with a smile. “He’s invited everyone of importance in the industry, and even a few guests from Westbrook to celebrate you, Miss. The Sue family hasn’t hosted such a grand banquet in over a decade. It just shows how much the master values you.”

Eliza was stunned silent.

She had a feeling things were spiraling well beyond her control.
