Jim let out a barely perceptible sigh.

"The people I sent out have done their best to find him. Even the higher-ups have dispatched numerous people, but there are still no leads."

Bonnie frowned but remained silent.

Memories of the days with Ivor by her side involuntarily surfaced, making her sad. However, she didn't show this. Her long lashes quivered a little but concealed every emotion in her gaze.

Even though Bonnie didn't say anything, Jim could still feel the sadness lingering over her.

"If Ivor sees you like this, he will feel very upset."

Hearing Jim's words, Bonnie felt startled.

Ivor used to hold her hand and console her whenever he noticed she was in a poor mood. His eyes were full of care for her.

She had to cheer up and get over her depressive state, as Ivor was so kind to her and wouldn't let her suffer even a little.

With this in mind, Bonnie's dim phoenix eyes became brighter.

"You're right. Even if I'm feeling sad, it's useless. It's better to pull myself together and think of more ways to find out about his whereabouts."

Jim felt happy seeing Bonnie brighten up.

"You're thinking in the right direction. Should I prepare to return to the city next?"

Bonnie responded indifferently, "Yes, go ahead and prepare."

"Okay."

Jim quickly left. Little did he know that as soon as he left, Bonnie's phone would vibrate.

Her eyes narrowed at the message on the screen as she glanced down. Her hand holding the phone tensed.

"He is with me. You must come alone."

The message ended with an address on an island.

Bonnie rubbed her phone to calm her emotions. She had anticipated that these people would come asking for trouble.

She just didn't expect them to wait for half a month, which showed remarkable patience.

Bonnie went downstairs to head to the address. However, when she reached the bottom of the stairs, she noticed Jim busy in the room. She abruptly stopped.

If she told Jim about this, he would not let her take the risk. But saving Ivor was crucial, and she had to figure out how to get past Jim.

Sensing her gaze, Jim turned around and met Bonnie's eyes. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Bonnie calmly turned away.

"It's nothing. Go ahead and pack up, and I'll tell you something later."

Jim didn't bother to pack his things and stood up.

"Are we keeping secrets from each other? Just say what you have to say. Why beat around the bush?"

Bonnie continued, "Actually, I want you to have a drink with me."

"Drink?" Jim was a little surprised. "Why so sudden?"

Bonnie sighed lightly, feigning sadness.

"I've been feeling very depressed lately. The more I think about it, the more I realize the validity of what you said. Ivor would be unhappy if he saw me like this. So I want to have a drink and wait for him to come back in the best condition possible."

Jim nodded. "It's good that you've come to terms with it. It's just drinking, right? I'll accompany you! Wait here, and I'll bring over a few bottles of aged wine from the cellar."
