Chapter 1681

Milton White returned to the basement of the villa, and immediately collected all the information about Silverton.

Ethel Collins helped sort and print the information, and after scanning it for a few moments, she had read it all.

"Milty, look here," she said, "it shows that last Friday, indeed a group of outsiders went to Silverton, no, two groups of people."

After looking over the information for a while, Milton replied, "The first group is from the Fosters, and the second batch is the one sent by the Valleys Sect."

Ethel nodded, "The second group left a day earlier than the first, does that mean that by that time they had already transferred the person?"

"Very likely."

Then Ethel asked, "Milty, is the Valleys Sect deliberately keeping their people’s whereabouts from you because they are starting to suspect us?"

Milton nodded and remained silent.

He studied the information carefully, especially focusing on where the people from the Valleys Sect went after they left Silverton.

He had been masquerading for days, just to gain the trust of the two, seize control of the Whites’ power, and to thwart the Valleys Sect’s plan at a critical moment.

Moreover, the most important point was to rescue Joy Taylor.

The Valleys Sect turned out to be highly suspicious, and things were getting more difficult.

After looking through the information for a good while, he finally pinpointed the last location of that group of people.

He circled a spot on the map in a city by the sea.

"Milty, where is this?"

Milton’s expression was grave, "Southwest’s largest military district."

"Ah? Then..." Ethel thought of some very serious possibilities but didn’t articulate them.

After pondering for a while, Milton instructed, "Tomorrow, you take two robots there to check it out. If you discover the exact location, come back immediately, don’t engage with them directly."

"Milty, aren’t you coming with me?" she asked.

"My presence would easily draw the attention of the Valleys Sect," he explained.

Then, suddenly considering the little girl’s feelings, he asked, "Are you unwilling to go?"

Ethel immediately shook her head, "No, I just wanted to be with Milty, that’s all. Don’t worry, I’ll go tomorrow. I will search carefully."

She gave a sweet smile.

Milton stared into her eyes, and for a moment, he was bewildered.

Three days later, in the evening, Ethel returned to the Whites’ villa.

She had rushed back from the airport.

First, she took a car, but then when she encountered a traffic jam and didn’t want to wait, she simply ran back.

Upon arriving at the courtyard, she excitedly ran into the villa.

"Milty! Milty! I have good news!"

She followed Milton’s scent, heading up to the second floor.

This time, she didn’t let anyone down and had successfully completed her mission. She thought only of quickly sharing the great news with Milton.

In her excitement, she didn’t even knock but just pushed the door open and entered.

When she did, she saw a man wearing an Indigo Blue shirt standing by the window, holding a black mobile phone, making a call—it was Milton White.

She jumped in front of him, looking up with an excited smile and said, "Milty, I found Aunt Joy! I heard their voices!"

Having said this, she expected to see joy spreading in Milton’s eyes.

But, instead—

She saw a look of distraction and amusement in the man’s eyes, an expression that someone would have when viewing their prey.

Her smile stiffened, and she took two steps backward.

"Yu Jian," the man hung up the phone, his thin lips curving slightly as he beckoned to her, "Come here."

Ethel felt a chill run down her spine, her pupils suddenly constricting.

She knew that the man before her was not Milton White!

Why did it have to be this moment!
