Considering Antonia’s fiery personality, there was no way she’d swallow such an insult without a fight!
Magdalen had been cooped up in her own office all morning, and by noon, she decided to call Estelle. “Ella, has
anyone from the Crawley family reached out to you?”
Estelle was on the floor, assisting Kya with her Lego. “Nope,” she replied nonchalantly.
“Something’s not quite right,” Magdalen muttered, a hint of a cold smile in her voice. “Did that witch get scared off
by me?“
“We’ll see,” replied Estelle. “Keep me updated if anything happens.”
“Of course!” Magdalen’s laugh was clear and bright. “Eat properly.”
Estelle hung up, only to receive another call from Amiee a few minutes later.
“Estelle, we’ve managed to recover most of the deleted content. The poster who posted it was paid a hundred

Antonia reassured him, saying that all the evidence was provided by someone close to you and that it was all true.
That’s about it. There’s no more useful information.”
Amiee relayed everything she found out to Estelle and asked, “Do you know who Antonia was referring to when she

tight grip. She nodded curtly. 7 know.”
“Good,” Amiee’s voice was icy. “Call me if you need anything.”

Upon hearing the report from his subordinate, Cliff’s face turned ashen. He kicked over the chair in front of him.
“Jonathan’s too damn arrogant. If my daughter gets even a scratch, I won’t let him get away with it!”
The man who came to report was keeping his head low, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
Cliff growled, “Any news? Have they found Antonia?”
The subordinate frowned tightly, “Not yet. We only found Ms. Crawley’s classmates. They said she was taken away
from the 9th Mansion. We checked the surveillance footage from the Mansion, and it was indeed Jonathan’s man,
Millard, who took her away. But after they left the Mansion, it became difficult to track them, especially since this
isn’t B City and we can’t take any action as freely.”
Cliff narrowed his cold eyes, “So someone’s not cooperating?”
The subordinate nodded, “Yes, everyone in J City listens to the Lamont family1

Cliff scoffed arrogantly, “I don’t believe he’d dare harm Antonia!”

“Got it”
As the subordinate left to make the call, another one approached Cliff with a second phone. “Mr. Crawley, your wife
is on the line.”
Cliff, already exasperated, knew that his wife was calling about their daughter. She’d already called five times since
morning. He took the phone. answering. “Dorothy!”
Dorothy Crawley’s voice was frantic. “What’s the situation there. Have you seen Antonia?”
“Not yet”
“What do you mean not yet?” Dorothy asked anxiously. “You need to go to see the Lamont family. What are you
waiting for?”
“I just want to gather some leverage before I negotiate!”
