Chapter 711 No Trace
"Mr. Xenos understands the importance of the GPS. It's his way of alerting someone in case something unexpected happens and we need to find him. But now, the GPS—"
"He's probably lost his phone," I reasoned as solace.
Waylen nodded in agreement. "That's probably it."
The sixth day had passed with no word from Shawn.
May had no updates from Alfred either.
There was still no word from them on the seventh day.
And on the eighth and ninth days, it remained the same.
…
It wasn't until the thirteenth day that I couldn't sit still anymore, so I told Waylen to look for Shawn in Gleiburg.
But he hesitated and said, "Mr. Xenos specifically instructed me not to leave Bryxton. He wants me to stay here and protect you until he returns safely; otherwise, I should resign."
Shawn was being ruthless.
Now, however, he was unable to provide any updates, making our anxious waiting futile.
I understood where Waylen was coming from and said, "Let's send someone to Gleiburg. And what about Kevin and Diego? Where are they now?"NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
"They're abroad. Mr. Xenos arranged for them to investigate the whereabouts of Mr. Forger and Ms. Gant, including Ms. Gant's parents."
How did this involve the Gants again? And when did Leon go missing? How did things become so complicated?
"Is Ezekiel in Gleiburg?" I questioned Waylen.
"We haven't located Mr. Hastings yet."
"As someone who is always by Ezekiel's side, you don't know where he is? Check on Robina. She should be with Ezekiel. We should be able to locate him if we locate her, right?"
I was worried and anxious about their safety.
A week later, rumors spread from various sources that Shawn and Alfred were being controlled and that there would be earth-shattering changes in the world order. At the same time, the Xenos Family was attacked.
They weren't actually attacked, but what Anthony said worried me. Families from different cities had their sights set on the Xenos Family. And I suddenly became aware that I was facing a dire situation. The Xenos Family was important, but it was secondary to finding Shawn, preserving his career, and winning everyone's hearts.
Despite this, I had not left the villa.
I was afraid of causing trouble if I left the villa and even more afraid of putting the Xenos Family in further jeopardy.
As time went on, May also became aware of how uncertain the situation was and that Shawn and Alfred might be in grave danger.
So I asked Anthony, Waylen, and Gary to meet me at my villa.
The only people who could help me at this time were these three because they were the most capable.
I asked them, "What we're dealing with right now is dangerous. We don't know who is a friend and who is an enemy, and we don't know have any updates on Shawn and Mr. Larson. Nearly a month has passed… Now what should I do? What do you need me to do?"
Shawn had been gone for twenty-three days, and those days felt like an eternity.
I was in great agony.
"What do you want to do, Miss?" Anthony asked.
"How is the situation with the Xenos Family?" I asked him.
"It's stable. There haven't been any attacks on the family, and no one dares to touch them. It's under control for now."
Then I asked Waylen, "What about Shawn's company?"
"People are eyeing it, but we're keeping it under control."
"It's great to hear that both my company and his company are still stable. But we're still just waiting and doing nothing. What about Mr. Larson's side?"
Waylen replied, "Mr. Larson's family has been heavily attacked. The Larson family wishes for Ms. Sommer to return to Larsons' headquarters to take command of the situation, as she is the only one with the authority to speak."
Over the past few days, I had been keeping May informed about some of the events involving the Larson family. She was worried but oddly composed.
I was the same way. Although I was anxious, I forced myself to stay calm. We had both grown over these two years.
"Has anyone from the Larsons contacted May?"
"Not yet. They are waiting for the right moment."
"What are they waiting for?" I asked Waylen.
"When they have no other choice."
Finding it funny, I added, "What can May do if the Larsons throw everything at her during a chaotic situation? Gary, go to May later and tell her about the current situation with the Larson family. Let her make her own decision. You should go with her if she decides to return to the Larsons."
It would be better for May to have Gary's support because she wasn't good at handling business matters.
"Yes, Ms. Felix."
I was extremely distressed and didn't know what I could do now. I could only do my best to bring the two businesses under control.
Suddenly, Waylen received a phone call.
He got up and went outside to answer it. When he came back, his expression was stern. I anxiously asked, "What now?"
"I was just told that Mr. Xenos and Mr. Larson are in this mess because of Nicholas Forger and Daniel Hartmann, as well as some other families. Some people from nine years ago are involved, including Ezekiel Hastings."
I was shocked. "Nicholas!"
Why would Nicholas be involved?
At the banquet, he told Seth Zander that there was no turning back now—was he referring to this?
Shawn must have heard what Nicholas said and was aware of what he was trying to do.
And yet he walked right into it!
