At that moment, Carlos’s men approached Caleb, stating, “Sir, we discovered where Alexandria was hiding a few days ago.

She took refuge in Cory’s house, but when we arrived, she had already vanished.

I clenched my fists, teeth grinding as I asked, “Do you know where she went? Any leads?”

The bodyguard nodded and continued, “A second-hand car registered under Cory’s name is missing.

It’s likely Alexandria took it.

We traced the license plate and reviewed surveillance footage, revealing she’s heading towards the border of the Thorn Edge Pack, but her pace is slow.

We must intercept her before she crosses.

Feeling a surge of hope, I quickly instructed the butler, “Gather a group of bodyguards.

The others should continue searching the mountains.

I want to speak with Alexandria.

If it means recovering Dylan, I will do whatever it takes to meet her demands.

Caleb grasped my hand, his brow furrowed.

He disapproved of my decision to confront Alexandria.

I shook off his grip and asserted, “Don’t try to dissuade me.

Regardless of the danger, I must go.

Alexandria is desperate and may act irrationally, risking harm.

But nothing compares to saving Dylan.

I have to rescue him.

Caleb studied me, hesitating for a moment.

Finally, after a brief silence, he nodded resolutely, “Alright, you negotiate with Alexandria.

I will lead my team to search the mountains.

Upon hearing this, I finally smiled for the first time since Dylan’s disappearance.

At that moment, no words were necessary.

Caleb and I understood each other deeply.

“Arrange for the finest bodyguards and driver,” Caleb instructed the butler.

The butler nodded, assuring, “Rest assured, I will take care of everything.

Caleb took my hand and guided me to the yard.

We stood together in silence for a while, until the car and bodyguards arrived to escort me.

“Don’t worry about me.

I can protect myself,” I said firmly, releasing his hand.

Without warning, Caleb pulled me into his embrace, holding me tightly.

“I promised to safeguard you and our children.

I will keep that promise.

I nodded.

“I trust you.

Afterward, I stepped back from his embrace, entered the car, and departed.

As the car drove farther away, I caught sight of Caleb in the rearview mirror, still watching me.

Carlos, assigned to protect me, sighed and spoke with regret.

“Debra, please don’t blame Caleb.

This is my fault.

I failed to manage the Vargas family and my men properly, putting Dylan in danger.

I sighed.

“This isn’t your responsibility.

It stems from Alexandria and her father’s ambition.

Their desire for power led to their downfall, and now they’re causing chaos.

After a moment of silence, Carlos stated firmly, “When you confront Alexandria, stay by my side.

I won’t allow you to be harmed, no matter what.
