Cassius Draven paused for a moment, then spoke after a few seconds of silence: “Hmm, give her a call.”
They hadn’t been working in Seattle for long when Adalyn Katz followed them there. Officially, she was there for a vacation, but everyone in the Boudreaux Group branch knew she was there for Cassius.
“Alright.” Abdul Acevedo quickly booked the tickets, and after picking up Adalyn, they hurried to the airport.
After a flight of several hours, the plane finally landed smoothly at Grove City Airport.
During those several hours, Abdul witnessed Cassius’s meticulous care for Adalyn.
After getting off the plane, the group walked towards the airport exit together.
When there were many people around, Cassius would subconsciously protect Adalyn.
In the past, Anastasia Katz had also accompanied Cassius on business trips, but she was the one taking care of Cassius the entire time, and Cassius’s attitude towards her was quite cold.
Compared to Anastasia, Adalyn seemed more like Cassius’s wife.
…Meanwhile, Anastasia also emerged from another exit of the airport.
She was wearing a V–neck spaghetti strap long dress, sunglasses, and a faint smile on her face, looking quite pleased.
Alivia Landers had been waiting at the airport entrance for a while. The moment she saw Anastasia, she waved her hand immediately.
Seeing her, Anastasia’s smile deepened, and she quickened her pace towards her, pushing her suitcase.
However, just as she was about to reach Alivia, she noticed Alivia looking behind her with a somewhat grim expression.
Anastasia’s eyes flashed with surprise. She turned to look and saw Cassius and Adalyn

walking side by side towards the airport exit.
Her grip on the suitcase handle tightened involuntarily, and her face showed no expression.

Without waiting for Alivia to speak, Anastasia turned back to Alivia and said, “Let’s go.”
Seeing her calm demeanor and emotionless eyes, Alivia couldn’t be sure if Anastasia had really let Cassius go. She quickly reached out to take the suitcase from her hand.
“You bought a lot of stuff this time, it’s quite heavy.”
“They’re all gifts for you guys.”
The two chatted as they walked out, not noticing a sharp gaze fixed on them, or rather, on Anastasia alone.
Sensing something off with Cassius, Adalyn gently tugged on his sleeve.
“Mr. Cassius, what’s wrong?”
Cassius withdrew his gaze and shook his head, “Nothing.”
Was it just his imagination?
That woman just now reminded him of Anastasia, but Anastasia would never wear a spaghetti strap long dress. She always wore clothes that looked very gentle at first glance.
He frowned and looked at Abdul unhappily, “Haven’t you found out where Anastasia is yet?”
Abdul didn’t dare meet Cassius’s eyes anymore. He lowered his head and said, “Uh… but we’ll definitely find out Miss Katz’s exact location by today!”
Cassius’s aura turned even colder, “You take Adalyn back, I’m going to the villa!”
By the time he returned to the villa, it was already past seven in the evening.
The villa was completely dark, clearly indicating she wasn’t home.
Opening the door, a layer of dust rushed out, making Cassius frown involuntarily.

In the past, the first thing he saw when he came home was always Anastasia’s smiling face. Now, all that greeted him was darkness.
He turned on the living room lights. The house had already gathered a layer of dust, just as the property management had said; she really hadn’t been back.
Anastasia used to get upset with him, but she had never been away for a whole month.
A bad premonition crept into Cassius’s heart, which peaked when he saw the divorce papers and the ring on the living room table.
The divorce papers had a layer of dust due to a month’s neglect.
Cassius picked them up and turned to the last page. Sure enough, Anastasia had already signed her name.
A wave of unprecedented anger surged from his heart. Cassius clutched the divorce papers tightly, his face turning extremely grim.
She actually dared!
Just as Cassius was seething with rage, his phone suddenly rang.
“Mr. Draven, we’ve found Miss Katz… she’s in the north of the city…”
Sensing Abdul’s hesitation, Cassius coldly demanded, “Speak clearly! Where exactly in the north of the city!”
“In a villa… the owner of that villa is the newly crowned Best Actor, Rogelio Hoskins.”
