Chapter 454
In the southeast.
Vincent and Theodore had been there for three days but they still hadn’t found Harper.
They thought the position that Cassandra gave them must be correct. They wondered if Harper changed his location after he knew someone was coming for him.
No one expected that Cassandra would help them. Although she provided the correct area. She changed the location from the east to the south. The pace of life was faster in the south and it was a more prosperous area.
Theodore and Vincent were also a bit disappointed. If so, they did not know where to find Harper.
The southeast was almost as large as the whole territory of Zosteylor.
Only the two of them were looking for him so they didn’t know how long it would take. Moreover, they did not dare to ask the police for help or ask their men in Drieso to help them either.
They were afraid that the information would be leaked.
People would know the leader of Zosteylor was missing.
They couldn’t handle it if that happened. Because those who were coveting Zosteylor would be tempted.
However, they couldn’t just keep searching for Harper like this.
Vincent said, “Adam, we can’t find him like this. We have to think about what to do.” He
didn’t want to go on searching for Harper like this.
Although they arrived at this place, they still couldn’t accurately locate Harper. Harper must have somehow found an expert.
Theodore said, “I’m also trying to figure it out. We can’t keep doing this. We have four days left. If we can’t find Harper, I may not be able to hide it from Dad.”

Theodore was worried that everyone would suspect if the leader of a country was missing any longer.
Vincent said, “Well, I don’t know what happened to him. He left without saying anything to us.” He felt a bit helpless. He thought, ‘This guy is getting more and more capricious.’
Theodore said suspiciously, “Maybe we pushed him too hard.”
For more than a year, Harper felt depressed and didn’t even laugh or smile. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
If he went on like this, he would have a psychological breakdown if not mentally ill.
Vincent said, “I don’t understand it. Why did Dad cut ties with Cassie? He missed her before he found her. Why did he do this? Harper never looked happy after he came back. from Clusia. Didn’t Dad ever reflect on what he had done?”
He had been thinking about this for a year.
Now there were only him and Theodore so there was no need to hide his thoughts.
Theodore said, “They directly made it public against Cassie’s will, which forced her to hurt Mom. Otherwise, why was Mom in a coma as soon as she came back? If Mom had been awake, Harper would have been at least free. But now… Only Harper is her biological child.
Who ascend the throne if not him?”
Theodore had investigated it secretly before so he knew everything.
They had promised to stop pestering her. Even though they just wanted to beg for her forgiveness, they should have found a better way.
Now though Cassandra never visited the Yates family, she would greet politely them when she met them. She was already much less cold to them.
Even though they couldn’t make any progress, it was not bad.
However, Darren and his wife had gone too far. No one could accept it.
If it had been Theodore, he wouldn’t accept it.
In other words, Harper and Cassandra’s tragedies were due to their father Darren.

However, Darren had saved Theodore and Vincent so Theodore couldn’t go against his will.
Unexpectedly, someone beside them heard all the conversation between Theodore and
Vincent.
Afterward, he didn’t say anything but glanced at them and then left.
Vincent suddenly turned his head back and looked around in surprise.
Theodore asked, “What’s happening?”
Vincent said, “I felt like someone was staring at us but I didn’t see anyone.”
He became more and more curious about it.
So, he took out his computer and hacked into the surveillance system of this store.
After watching the videos for a few minutes, he found a man wearing a mask sitting behind them. It seemed that he left after he heard all of their conversation.
In the surveillance video, that man raised his head a little and then left.
Theodore was surprised. “Stop!”
Then the video stopped at a frame where the man just got up.
Theodore shouted, “It’s Harper!”
They got out of the store to catch up with the man but they couldn’t find him.
Vincent and Theodore looked at each other and Theodore said, “It seems that he is
avoiding us.”
Vincent nodded firmly. “Bastard! When we find him, I will definitely teach him a good
lesson.”
Suddenly, a little girl walked up to them and asked in a childish and sweet voice, “Are you
Theodore?”
The little girl was so young. She looked back at her mother first and then remembered Theodore’s name.
Theodore squatted down and said, “Yes. How did you know, little gal?”
The little girl handed him the Post–it note. “A big boy asked me to give you this.”
Then she left and went to her mother.
Theodore stood up and saw the note: [If you don’t want me to die, leave here as soon as possible.]
Vincent and Theodore’s expressions changed dramatically. They wondered what was
going on.
But when they turned around, they found that even the girl was gone.
After reading the Post–it note, Vincent was silent for a while and he didn’t look well. He said, “Let’s go back to the hotel.”
Theodore nodded.
At the same time, Jeremiah was making a great effort to find out if there were loopholes in the cooperation plan with the Hansen family.
Although he could terminate the contract directly, he had to pay liquidated damages. He
didn’t want to pay any money.
So, he had to find out if there were loopholes.
These loopholes would be found as long as he wanted to. He didn’t care about them before but now he had to. Otherwise, he would have to lose money.
He blamed it all on Elaine and wished she could spare him in the future.
It was not easy for him to get some rest. After Kenneth had a good rest, he would be training. But now he couldn’t even get some rest before that.
He thought he had to ask her for compensation.
Hugo also came to help him. He not only wanted to check the contracts between
Whitecrane Hall and the Hansen family but also to find out whether there was cooperation

between Whitecrane Hall and the Hansen family’s business partners. He had to find out all of them and threaten them.
It was not an easy task to force the Hansen family to pay 1 billion dollars.
Hugo didn’t understand what was happening. He said, “Jeremiah, why did she ask you to cooperate with them? What is she going to do?”
Jeremiah said, “Actually, Elaine wants to take revenge for her good friend. She has a friend at school who is sick and the doctor can’t cure her. Her family has money to hire Dr. Quirke but his father doesn’t want to do so because he is a money–grubber. Elaine learned it and offered free treatment but she wants her friend’s father to lose some money.”
Hugo thought, ‘It explains a lot. She is a nice person so she vents her anger about her friend on her friend’s father!”
