When Bianca returned home, anxiety washed over her. She realized the final mayoral election was just a week away. If there was explosive news now, everyone's attention would be diverted. It had to involve Lena!

After some pondering, Bianca smirked, feeling sly and triumphant. She picked up her phone and quietly arranged a meeting with a journalist.

They sat In a secluded corner of a cafe. Bianca wore a large hat, almost concealing her face. The journalist sat opposite her, lazily stirring his coffee, but his ears were alert.

"Do you know Mr. Patton's granddaughter is missing?" she asked. "This isn't just a child disappearing. It was a planned abduction."

The journalist tapped his recording pen. "Ms. Mosley, please tell me what you know. I'll release the information as you want after reviewing it."

"Naturally." Bianca smiled with satisfaction. "I know the one who kidnapped the Chriss heiress is a student from the charity school project, acting on Lena Harding's orders!" The journalist's hand holding the recording pen trembled, his grip involuntarily tightening.

Lina anxiously paced by the doorway while Drake remained locked inside, refusing to speak no matter her questioning.

Nicholas couldn't bear to see his daughter so anxious and considered using their old methods through lan to handle Drake. But Lina stopped him.

The current Thompsons were legitimate business people-violent methods from their past no longer fit.

Lina convinced Nicholas to leave and contemplated her next move.

Suddenly, Evelyn rushed over.

"Miss, look at this!" Evelyn handed her a phone.

A shocking news article read: [Shocking Scandal From Patton's Charity School: Manager and Student Involved in Human Trafficking!]

Lina's heart leaped to her throat as Lena's pictures were in the article.

"Don't worry, Ms. Pamela," Evelyn said softly. "This news hasn't gone public. It's only on my phone. We intercepted it."

Lina nodded. "What's the story?"

"We have contacts in the news stations," Evelyn said. "They recognized Lena. A journalist passed this material to their superior." "Who contacted that journalist?"

Evelyn smiled and produced the recording pen from her pocket. "You'll understand when you listen, Ms. Pamela."

The recorded conversation was brief, and Lina listened swiftly. The voice was all too familiar.

Lina sneered. Bianca was trying to divert attention and escape this way.

If this news got out, it wouldn't just tarnish Lena's reputation but would also implicate Harold.

Lina took a deep breath and entered Drake's room. He lay lazily on the floor but sat up as soon as he saw her.

"M-Ms. Thompson!"

Lina sat in a chair beside him and smiled faintly. She exuded authority like a queen, with the window behind her casting a regal light.
