Unexpectedly, his mother revealed everything.
Ariel knew that the disk she got in exchange for her attempted suicide eight years ago was fake and would then guess that the Morris Family used the disk to extort fifty million from him. These truths—how cruel they are to Ariel!
Upon learning these, she disappeared, her phone was turned off, and a sudden fear gripped Arlo Seys's heart.
Arlo Seys paused for a moment, pursing his lips as he asked in a deep voice, "Mom, how long has it been since you parted with Ariel at the café?"
"Almost three hours now."
"Alright, I got it. Mom, I'm hanging up."
"Wait—Arlo! Ariel—she didn't return to Era? So, where did she go? Arlo, did I do something wrong today? Say something wrong?"
Arlo Seys sighed, "It's alright, Mom, Ariel would've found out sooner or later. Let me find her first. Don't bring these things up again in the future."
"Alright."
