Chapter 1320

The next day, at the Duke’s Mansion.

Because of the Chloe Collins matter, Master Foster and others didn’t sleep all night, unable to even if they tried.

They cannot accept that a girl barely in her twenties is Russell King, the powerful figure with influential control.

Charlie King of King Financial Group, who rarely dons a smile, in front of her, seemed like a gentle elder brother.

Under pressure, they had to appeal to the queen to go and speak with Chloe Collins.

Last night, the news came back that she needed a few days to consider it.

This news choked Master Foster with anger, which lingered all night without relenting.

At dawn, news came from the queen again.

Mr. York came to report the good news: "Dad, it’s all settled. The Kings have agreed to cooperate!"

Master Foster breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking that the dignity of the Duke’s Mansion could be preserved after all.

"By the way, where is Manie? The young lady hasn’t returned yet?"

Mr. York responded, "Let her be, she also needs to clear her head."

Master Foster nodded and then went into the room.

He initiated a video-link, rarely used, and before long, connected with Master Foster.

Both old men locked eyes for a few seconds, their eyes filled with helplessness.

"What should we do now? The Alliance might reconsider," Master York said.

Master Foster had a serious look: "Despite all the careful planning, we didn’t anticipate she had the Kings as her backup. In terms of competence, it’s hard to find another girl like her."

"But don’t forget, she won’t live long. Jerry River hypnotized Alexander Foster for her, if she dies in the future, Alex won’t survive either, wouldn’t all the nurturing we’ve given him over the years be wasted?"

Master Foster sighed deeply and lowered his eyes in silence.

This is precisely what he cared about most.

"The Alliance doesn’t know about her health yet. After the news of her being one of the King Shareholders got out yesterday, they’ve sent a message and have no objection."

Master York excitedly pressed, "Then, we must inform them!"

Master Foster: "The current strategy is to wait and see. Maybe these two kids are rebellious in nature. The more we try to stop them, the closer they become. On the contrary, if we don’t intervene, they might argue."

Just as Master York was about to speak, he suddenly heard shouting from outside.

"Master Foster, I’ll go out and take a look first. We must inform the Alliance about the young lady’s health issues."

With that, he ended the video call.

Stepping out of the room, he saw one of his grandsons running in hurriedly.

"Grandpa, something bad has happened! Mane has gone missing!"

"What?!"

"Uncle and Aunt have already gone searching. They thought she was spending the night at a friend’s house, but when they called the friend’s place, they found out she hadn’t been there!"

"Where did she go? Spit it out!" Master Foster hollered.

"She went to find Liam Locke! Liam is missing too, and the Locke’s Mansion has been set on fire!"

"When did this happen?!"

"After the State Banquet last night!"

This news hit the Duke’s Mansion like a bombshell. Master Foster mobilized all the resources he had to search for her, the whole family was on the verge of a breakdown.

Upon hearing the news, Jerry River rushed to the northern suburb.

Meanwhile, Chloe Collin’s people had already spent a whole night searching.

On the way back last night, she received a call from Clara Carrington saying that the Locke’s Mansion had caught fire. The damage was not significant, but Liam was missing, and Manie York was missing too.

They found clues in the surveillance footage. A group of warriors who were very quick were responsible.

Looking at this from all aspects, she immediately confirmed that these people were part of the same group as Sector 13 who had launched an attack on Wanda Wesley.
