Cordelia chuckled, shaking her head. "You've got nothing better to say? Look, I didn't come to Denmark for this drama, please," she waved her hand dismissively. "I don't want any drama. I'm not in for any relationship activities," she stated firmly.
Raymond sighed, his expression turning more serious. "Cordelia, I know things might seem complicated right now, but I've always admired you. I've waited patiently, hoping for a chance to reconnect. I respect your wishes, but I can't deny my feelings for you."He paused, searching her eyes for a sign of understanding. "I'm not asking for a commitment right away. Let's start by rebuilding our friendship, see where it leads. I promise to give you space and time, but please consider giving us a chance," he pleaded.Cordelia continued dishing her food, paying little attention to Raymond hovered nearby, his gaze fixed on her.Raymond couldn't help but admire Cordelia's alluring figure as she move

Anger flared in her eyes, and her posture straightened as she clenched her fists."You did what?" she shouted, her voice echoing through the room. "You burned my parents' belongings? How could you do such a thing? Those were memories I can never get back!”Her face was flushed with rage, and she struggled to contain her emotions. "You had no right to destroy their things!" she continued. "Those were my memories of them, and you took that away from me!"Her fists clenched at her sides as she fought back tears.

We cannot afford to underestimate her."Meanwhile, Jacob Hansen arrived home, brimming with happiness. He hugged his wife, Stella, tightly and exclaimed, "Finally, isn't it wonderful that Cordelia is back for our son?"Stella sighed, her concerns evident in her expression.

One of the officers adjusted his cap and asked, “Has it been 24 hours since he went missing?”Rudra shook his head, his frustration evident. “Not yet. But at the very least, they should have called by now—something, anything.” His voice was laced with unease, his mind struggling to make sense of the situation.The officer gave a reassuring nod. “Don’t worry, Mr. Stone. We’ll begin our investigation right away. We already have their pictures, which will make it much easier to track them down.”Rose exhaled shakily, gripping Rudra’s arm, while he gave the officers a curt nod. “Alright then. We trust you to find him.”The officers exchanged a glance before stepping out, their expressions turning serious as they walked toward their patrol car.As soon as they left, Rose turned to Rudra, her hands trembling. “What if—”Rudra cupped her face gently. “No what-ifs, Rose. We’ll find him. I promise you, everything will be fine.”She swallowed hard, nodding despite the fear in her eyes, holding
Chapter 446: Cctv footage
Moments later, Rose Stone opened the door, her brows furrowing in concern. “Is something wrong?” she asked.Collins gestured toward the garage. “Mrs. Stone, I noticed you have a security camera outside. Does it record activity in the driveway or the street?”Rose’s expression brightened slightly as if a small glimmer of hope had sparked. “Yes, it should. We have a surveillance system installed. It records continuously.”Parker stepped forward. “Would it be possible to review the footage? It might give us a clue as to when your son left and if anyone else was in the area at the time.”“Of course,” Rose said quickly, opening the door wider. “Rudra! The officers need to see the security footage!”A moment later, Rudra Stone appeared in the foyer, his phone still in hand. “The footage? From the camera?” he asked, glancing between the officers and his wife.“Yes, Mr. Stone,” Collins replied. “It could be a critical lead. If your son left the house from this driveway, the footage might show

Rudra’s response came swiftly. “Police? That’s not right. We don’t even know if something serious has happened.”“I’m telling you, Rudra,” Rose said firmly, “something feels off. I’ve tried all of his friends, and none of them have heard from him either. We need to file a missing person’s report.”Rudra paused. She could almost picture him pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance. “Rose, please. Let’s give it a little more time. You know how the police can be—once they start asking questions, it becomes a whole incident. He might just come waltzing in later tonight, laughing at us for worrying.”Rose’s voice tightened. “And what if that doesn’t happen? I don’t care about the inconvenience. My son could be in danger!”A tense silence crackled between them. Finally, Rudra spoke, quieter this time. “Alright. I’ll head home as soon as I can so we can discuss it together.”An hour later, the familiar rumble of Rudra Stone’s car pulling into the driveway echoed through the house. Rose q

“I was just—” Maverick swallowed hard. “I said that to Brianna because… because I wanted her attention. I made it up. I swear! I didn’t think it’d get back to you!”Austin glanced at his brother, a flicker of frustration dancing in his eyes. He didn’t buy it. “You expect us to believe you’d throw around a rumor like that for no reason?”Maverick clenched his fists behind his back, the rope digging into his wrists. “I—had issues with Benjamin before,” he admitted, voice trembling. “But I wouldn’t do anything to him. I’m not a killer. You have to believe me.”Matthew let go of Maverick’s chin, straightening up. He exchanged a look with Austin, who ran a hand through his hair in exasperation. The same dead end, over and over.“You keep saying that,” Austin muttered, pacing in a small circle. “But Benjamin’s missing, possibly dead, and you’re the only lead we’ve got. You’d better come up with something.”“I can’t give you what I don’t have,” Maverick pleaded, breathing heavily, his waterl
Chapter 443: Maverick Questioning II
Benjamin glanced at Cipherella, a subtle smile tugging at his lips. “Your hacking will also give us access to incriminating data. If you can tap into phone records, emails—anything tying Darnell to political figures or top officials—we’ll use that as leverage. The more dirt we have, the more isolated he becomes.” “We want to scare off corrupt politicians and bankers who enable him. When they realize we can expose them, they’ll abandon Darnell to protect themselves. That weakens his connections even more.” “While we’re dismantling Darnell’s network,” Benjamin said, nodding at Abdelkarim, “we place you front and center, building alliances with smaller gangs or influential locals who hate Darnell. Show them there’s a better alternative.” “Meanwhile, Cipherella will manage intel—gathering contact info, forging secure communication channels, and ensuring Darnell doesn’t learn too much about us.” “Eventually, we’ll lure him to a vulnerable position—somewhere away from his heavily guarded
Chapter 442: The Next Plan
Abdelkarim smiled proudly, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction at the selection. “This, master, is Fatteh,” he said, pointing to the large bowl of creamy yogurt sauce layered over crispy pita bread, chickpeas, and a golden drizzle of ghee, topped with pine nuts and fresh parsley. He moved his finger to the next dish. “And this is Kibbeh, spiced lamb wrapped in bulgur and fried to a crispy perfection.” Next, he gestured toward a sizzling plate of skewers. “Shish Tawook, tender chicken marinated in garlic, lemon, and paprika, served with flatbread,” he explained, the warm scent of grilled meat filling the space. To his left, a bowl of Mujadara caught Benjamin’s eye—earthy lentils and rice topped with caramelized onions. Abdelkarim pointed at it. “That’s Mujadara. Simple, but hearty and full of flavor.” He then reached for a bowl of hummus and Baba Ghanoush. “And these are two of our staples—Hummus, made from chickpeas and tahini, and Baba Ghanoush, a smoky eggplant dip,” he said, his p

The rugged man clenched his fists, his pride warring with his fear. “You can’t be serious,” he hissed, his voice barely above a whisper.Abdelkarim cocked the gun audibly, tilting his head. “Do I look like I’m joking?”Reluctantly, the rugged man lowered himself to his knees, the humiliation evident on his face. His companions followed suit, each moving with visible hesitation. The restaurant’s patrons and staff watched in stunned silence, their eyes wide as they bore witness to the surreal scene.One of the men reached for Abdelkarim’s shoe, his hand shaking as he wiped at it with his sleeve. Abdelkarim smirked, glancing down at their feeble attempts. “Pathetic,” he muttered. “Put some effort into it.”As the men continued their reluctant task, Abdelkarim’s tone turned colder. “Now, let’s add some respect to the mix. Each of you will address me properly while you’re down there.”The rugged man looked up, his face twisted with fury and shame. “What do you mean?”Abdelkarim leaned in s
Chapter 440: Tables Turned
The room fell into an eerie silence, the earlier chatter and laughter evaporating like smoke. All eyes were on Abdelkarim, who stood tall with the gun firmly in his grasp. Even the rugged man who had slapped him seemed caught off guard, his eyes widening in a mix of disbelief and anger.Benjamin, who had been calmly observing moments earlier, straightened in his seat, his sharp gaze narrowing as he assessed the situation. He hadn't anticipated this escalation, and for a fleeting moment, his surprise flickered across his face. Cipherella, sitting beside him, froze, her lips parting slightly as her eyes darted between Abdelkarim and the scarred man.The tension was palpable. The rugged man pushed his chair back slightly, his hands clenching into fists as if ready to retaliate. His companions, who had been laughing moments ago, now looked uneasy, their confidence shaken."You think this is funny?" Abdelkarim said, his voice steady, but the undercurrent of anger was unmistakable. He point
Chapter 439: Abdelkarim Faces Bully
The room went tense as Abdelkarim froze, his gaze darting nervously to the man’s threatening expression. Around them, a few other patrons glanced over.Cipherella’s delicate brows furrowed with concern as she leaned closer to Benjamin, her voice barely above a whisper. "Master, they’re trying to bully him," she said, her eyes darting between Abdelkarim and the rugged man.Benjamin didn’t respond immediately. His sharp gaze remained fixed on the scene, observing every detail—the posture of the men, Abdelkarim’s unease, and the simmering tension in the air. Finally, he nodded slowly and said, "Let’s just watch for now.”"But Master—" Cipherella started, her worry evident."Relax," Benjamin interrupted gently, his tone calm but firm. "Let’s see how he handles himself first. If things go too far, I’ll step in."Cipherella hesitated, but she trusted Benjamin’s judgment. She bit her lip and stayed quiet, her hands clasped tightly in her lap as her eyes returned to Abdelkarim.Meanwhile, Abd
