"Erica, how could you think like that? As soon as she becomes the Young Lady of Hanover family, our Shell family will be the great benefactor of their family. We can also benefit from it and we can also get a better life in the future!"

"No!" Erica stepped back and covered her ears, "You don't know anything. You have never given me enough money! Even when you gave me Kimberly's money back then, it was still not enough! Mom, I don't like the way we are living at all. Do you know how rich my classmates are and how capable their parents are? I... I also want to be like them, but... why must it be Kimberly? How is her life so different from mine? I am clearly more excellent than her."

Speaking of this, Erica seemed unable to control herself and she screamed a few times. Then, she turned around and ran out.

"Erica!"

Mrs. Shell wanted to stop her, but Erica was at a young age. Thus, she ran so fast that she disappeared as soon as she got out of the house.

"Forget it. She's just a little girl. Once she has thought it through, she will know that it's a good thing for us too," Mrs. Shell thought.

Thinking that she could repay her gambling debts, and that she could take advantage of the Hanover family's influence to improve the Shell family's status, Mrs. Shell felt very happy in her heart. On the other side, Kimberly was in a miserable state.

After Vera gave Benedict a call, he soon arrived at the place she had mentioned.

"Why isn't she here?" Benedict asked with a serious look.

Vera was so anxious that she almost cried, "I have looked around but I can't replace her. When I called you, she was still here but she suddenly disappeared into thin air, and I can't replace her either... I don't know where she went... I'm sorry, it's my fault for not keeping an eye on her. If anything happens to her, I... I will never forgive myself."

Benedict glanced at Vera. Seeing that she was so anxious that her eyes had turned red and her tears were about to fall, he felt that she must be extremely nervous. He didn't blame her, but he whispered, "Please calm down. It's no use worrying now. The top priority is to replace her first. Since you are so close to her, you should calm down first and think about whether there is any place she would go. "Are there any possible places?"

Vera was stumped by this question. Although she had a good relationship with Kimberly, they had not known each other for a long time. She couldn't say that she knew Kimberly very well.

If they were to talk about a place where Kimberly would possibly go, Vera really couldn't answer it.

It was probably Sylvia who knew Kimberly better. Although Sylvia was not a kind person, she had been pretending in front of Kimberly for many years after all. She would know something about Kimberly since they had known each other for so many years.

Asking Sylvia was the best solution.

However, since Kimberly and Sylvia had quarreled and became rivals in love, it was not appropriate for them to ask Sylvia for help. Vera was afraid that Sylvia would have ulterior motives instead. What if Kimberly fell into Sylvia's trap?

Seeing Vera frown, Benedict guessed that she probably had no idea. He thought for a moment and said softly, "Don't worry. I've already sent someone here. They will search the area. Once there's any news, they'll report it to me immediately."

Vera looked at Benedict gratefully and said, "Vice President Yardley, thank you very much. Thank God, you are here. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do."

"Let's look around again. Let's not miss out any corners."

"All right," Vera nodded.

After that, they went their separate ways. Vera felt that Benedict's words were reasonable. She didn't pay attention to the corners when she looked for Kimberly earlier. If she paid attention this time, would she be able to replace her?

When she thought of this, she rekindled her hope and followed the alley in search of Kimberly.

After taking a few steps, Benedict's phone rang all of a sudden. He picked it up and asked, "How is it?" Valeria said, "We've already searched the area nearby according to your instructions. However, I think you'd better check on the surveillance footage if possible."

Upon hearing this, Benedict frowned slightly and said, "She has disappeared for only less than an hour. It's not practical to check the surveillance footage. Moreover, there are some blind spots in some of the corners. Thus, I don't think the surveillance cameras can capture her. Send more people here and ask them to search around. Of course, don't forget to ask the people in the stores nearby and report to me immediately if there's any news."

Valeria said, "Got it."

After hanging up the phone, Benedict looked around and felt a little uneasy.

"Kimberly, please be safe."

He didn't know how long he had been searching, but Benedict still couldn't replace Kimberly. His mobile phone was silent. Benedict was calm at first, but now he was nervous.

Where on earth did Kimberly go?

Benedict stopped and took out his mobile phone as he couldn't help but call Vera to ask about the situation.

Although he knew that if Vera had found her, she would definitely call to inform him. However, he still carried the hope that maybe she had found Kimberly, but she didn't have the time to contact him. Vera was very excited when she received the phone call from Benedict, "Have you found Kimberly?"

Hearing this, Benedict knew that Vera hadn't found Kimberly as well.

"You couldn't replace her as well, could you?" Hearing that Benedict was silent, Vera knew that he hadn't found Kimberly as well. She was so anxious that she almost cried, "What should I do? There are so many people looking for her, yet there is still no news. Where can she go? Vice President Yardley... It's all my fault for not keeping an eye on her."

It was Vera's first time to be so out of control. Benedict was also upset at first, but when she said that, he suddenly didn't know what to say to comfort her. He was also anxious as he couldn't replace Kimberly. Benedict looked around, pursed his thin lips, and finally said, "Don't worry, I'll replace her. I definitely will."

After that, he hung up the phone.

Benedict then continued moving forward and asked a woman nearby a few questions.

"Excuse me, Miss. May I ask if you have seen a girl..." Benedict briefly described the clothes that Kimberly was wearing on that day, and then described her facial features.

The woman blinked her eyes and looked clueless. Benedict sighed in his heart. Just as he thought that he couldn't get an answer from her, she suddenly said, "Oh, are you looking for the girl in a white dress? just saw her!"

Hearing this, Benedict's face changed, "You saw her? Where was she?" "I saw her entering a car. A luxury car!"

"She got in a car?" Benedict frowned as he thought, "And it's a luxury car? Then, it doesn't seem like she has gotten into a taxi. Whose car did she get into then?"

Thinking of this, Benedict's face changed.
