"No!"
A weak and powerless voice ca out of Mr. Sterling’s mouth. Wyatt Sterling withdrew his gaze, seeing Mr. Sterling release his hand and walk forward.
In Wyatt’s heart, Mr. Sterling is the calming presence of the Sterling Family, his idol of admiration.
However, Mr. Sterling’s back slowly bent under the bright lights, as if sothing weighed him down, unable to stand straight.
"Dad!"
Wyatt caught up with him, feeling uncomfortable seeing Mr. Sterling like that.
Is it because sothing happened to Serena Sullivan?
Wasn’t Dad very much against Serena?
Too many doubts lingered in his heart. Wyatt held onto Mr. Sterling’s cold hand, inexplicably following his words, nodded affirmatively, and replied, "Yes, that’s not her!"
As those words left his mouth, even Wyatt was startled.
This certainty ca from within, not even understanding why he was so sure!
Mr. Sterling, who had slowed his steps, turned his head to look at Wyatt, pursed his lips, and smiled, "Hmm!"
After responding, the pain ca over him again, and he walked slowly with Wyatt’s support.
More than twenty years ago, when he abandoned Claire Sullivan and her mother, he knew there would be consequences. However, through these years, he didn’t feel the consequences would impact him greatly!
Now, he was wrong! Gravely wrong!
The news of Serena Sullivan possibly falling into the sea spread across Solaria overnight.
After Serena disappeared, The Grant Family, The Ford Family, The Morgan Family, and The Lockwood Family all mobilized manpower, almost turning Solaria upside down, not just within high society, but other classes were aware too.
Regarding Serena, over the past half-year, people in Solaria who weren’t aware dug up things from four years ago and scrutinized all her past on many forums.
There were rumors about her love story with Ethan Grant, her exceptional performance in high school, and even photos of the accident site when she had a car accident four years ago.
A girl who lost the use of her legs, returned to Solaria, and married her forr lover—such a story was bound to be discussed, yet Ethan insisted on marrying her!
Now that she’s missing, probably bad news, this event overshadowed all other news—even The Grant Family’s eldest daughter’s issues and the Lockwood Lady’s hospital affairs barely made a ripple.
Everyone focused their thoughts on Serena, using whatever abilities they had to help find her.
Yet Serena seed like a stone sunk into the sea, vanished without a trace.
The rumors outside had nothing to do with Ethan Grant.
After going two days and two nights without sleep, he finally returned to Willow Yarrow. As soon as he walked in, Sister Ann ca over to take his smoke-scented coat.
Ethan didn’t speak. When he looked up, he saw the familiar living room, and in a trance, it seed like Serena was there waiting for him.
Earlier, she loathed him and didn’t like to talk to him.
He didn’t know what to say to her, so he’d secretly watch her from the shadows—just seeing her, even if not speaking, filled his heart with happiness.
Now!
He passed the room, walked through the corridor, and entered her bedroom. Looking at the tidy, clean bed, desk, where could Serena be? He couldn’t even sense her scent in the air anymore.
Terror! Panic! Ethan felt his heart ache, raising his hand not to press his chest but to pull out a cigarette from his pocket.
He slowly sat on the floor. Just when he was about to smoke, he rembered this was Serena’s room. He turned around, supporting himself against the wall to leave. His entire strength seed drained, feeling exhausted with each step.
