“Don't worry. I won't tell her. I just want to remind you about it. If you're really heading there, youneed to be careful,” lan said.

“What do you mean?” Kurt turned back to him.

If one compared their intelligence, the difference would be apparent. However, everyone has theirown strengths. For example, Kurt was great at setting up strategies and executing them.

As for lan, he was good at analysis and deductions.

He had his father's mind. When the pieces were displayed on the board in front of him, he wouldn'tmake a move, but he would be able to notice important information hidden within quickly.

“That's Eddie's old nest. Daddy hasn't found it yet after searching for a long time. Why wouldMaurice know about it? How old was he when his family was poisoned to death? The secret wasimportant, sure, but back then, the White family didn't expect they would be wiped out. So how didhe know?” lan laid out the analysis he conducted in his mind.

Kurt furrowed his eyebrows upon hearing that. “So you're saying that your daddy is asking me todestroy it so that no one can get it? Is that right?”

"Yes. That's why you need to be careful. I believe someone else is involved. They'll no doubt get thenews that something happened to Maurice,” lan reminded once again.

Kurt raised his eyebrow.

He didn't dwell on the matter. Instead, he was worried about Vivian after he left.

"What are you standing there for, Kurt? Help me replace the beads! Nat accidentally scattered them onthe floor.”

Both men were standing on the balcony when they heard an exclamation from the living room.

It was then followed by the sound of beads falling to the ground from the coffee table.

The beads were scattered everywhere.

Vivian was on the verge of tears.

She didn't care about much, but she cared a lot about her clothes-making material.

When Kurt saw that, he quickly went in to help her pick it all up.

The others helped too. Natalie was so shocked that she stood unmoving.

"What are you standing there for? Go to the side.” Matteo was bending down to pick up the beadswhen he saw the culprit remained standing on her spot. He picked her up and put her on the couch.That way, it would be more convenient for his huge body to move around and pick up the beads.Natalie's watery, big eyes instantly turned red. Nobody likes me or welcomes me here!

She was hurt, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her as she sat on the couch with tearyeyes, she pouted before running away.

Only when everyone gathered the beads did they realize Natalie was gone.

“Where's Nat? Where did she go?”

“Huh? I don't know.”

Everyone was confused.

In the end, it was Susan who noticed that a pair of small shoes had gone missing from the entrance.Everyone began to panic as the sun had completely set. Without hesitation, they all immediatelywent out to replace her.

Timothy said, “I'm blaming this on Matteo. She probably ran away because you picked on her.”

“I... 1 did?” Matteo wanted to deny it, but in reality, he couldn't remember if he had upset her.

That was because he liked to tease all kids.

“All right. Let's not talk about that for now and just replace her. Oh yeah, Timothy, how about you trycalling Zaylynn? Her family is familiar with the place and they know a lot of people. We can askthem for help,” Susan said.

She suddenly thought about the Neal family.

Timothy immediately made a call.

Soon, the entire police force in the area moved out to search for Natalie.

“Do you want to join me, Matteo?” Susan intentionally invited him to join her. She could feel hisanxiety when they split up to replace Natalie.

“It's okay. I move faster than you. I can replace her myself,” he said and quickly left, which made Susanfeel quite worried.

At that moment, lan came by. He saw her staring at his little brother's back and pursed his lip. “He'sjust feeling guilty. That's why he's desperate to replace her.”

“lan, you're here.” Susan returned to her senses when she turned around and saw him

She sighed and attempted to defend Matteo. “I know that, and it's why I'm worried. Matteodefinitely didn't do it on purpose. He just likes to joke around with Nat. How can a cheerful guy likehim be mad at a kid?”

lan stared at her. This seems to be the first time I've heard what she thought about someone else,and it turns out to be my brother.q
