“ Madelyn Colton ! ” Martin’s sudden shout startled Vivian , making her flinch . “ Dad ; what’s with the yelling ? ” she asked , annoyed .
“ Are you sure it’s Madelyn Colton ? ” he asked , his voice trembling with excitement .
“ Sure , ” Vivian replied , confused .
Martin said , “ Quick , send me a photo of her . And her contact info too ! ”
“ What are you up to , Dad ? ” Vivian asked .
“ Stay out of this , kid . Just do it , or I’ll tell your mom about your fake marriage , ” he threatened .
‘ Kid ? I’m thirty – two , Dad ! ‘ Vivian thought , speechless .
Photos and videos of Aria had long disappeared from the internet , but Vivian had saved a clip of her fighting . She took a screenshot and sent it to her father . “ We only talk in group chats . I don’t have her contact info . ”
“ Then add her now , ” Martin demanded .
“ That would bother her . If you’re so curious , investigate it yourself ,” she retorted .
Martin retreated to his study , saving the photo before forwarding it to Lance . [ I found her . ]
The reply came quickly : [ That was fast . ]
Now , Martin was certain – Aria was indeed Madelyn .
‘ What were the Saxon family thinking , cutting off such an amazing daughter ? Have they lost their minds ? ‘ he thought .
Rumors claimed she hadn’t even gone to school . If it weren’t for Vivian’s allergic reaction sparking this chain of events , Martin might never have found her .
‘ That allergy really came at the perfect time , ‘ he mused .
Trying to calm himself down , Martin called his butler . “ Find Aria’s contact information immediately . ”
At the Police station .
Aria said , “ Nearly 1 hundred million in my account – gone , just like that . ”
“ What the- ? ” Jackson shot to his feet , his face a mix of shock and disbelief . “ Those scammers did this to you ? ”
Fryderyk , on the other hand , remained composed . “ What did you do this time ? ”
He knew Aria wouldn’t lose that kind of money unless / she let it happen on purpose .
Aria replied coolly , “ Just here to go through the motions . ”
She needed to go through the motions to make it convincing .
Fryderyk stood up . “ Let’s get your statement down . ”
Once the formalities were done , Fryderyk called in Allen . Jackson , realizing this was above his pay grade , quietly slipped out .
Allen asked , “ What’s your plan ? ”

Aria laid out the strategy devised by Rhett and Patrick .
Allen frowned . “ One hundred million is a huge risk . What if they don’t take the bait ? We’ll lose the money , and Rhett could end up in serious troubles
It was undeniably a risky move .
Aria said , “ This is the fastest way . ”
Worried that something might happen , those people quickly took her money .
The transaction would be impossible to miss – such a large sum would force them to flee immediately , dragging Rhett and Patrick along with them .
Allen sighed . “ If they all come back , we won’t be able to handle them alone . ”
Aria raised an eyebrow . “ Don’t you know any mercenaries ? ”
Fryderyk glanced at her in surprise , while Allen gave an awkward smile . “ If they return to the country , I’ll figure something out . ”
These troublemakers needed to be dealt with , and it had to be done quietly .
The fewer people who knew , the lower the risk of exposure .
After all , they still had informants operating within the country .
Aria asked , “ How are you handling that guy ? ”
“ What guy ? ” they asked .
Aria replied , “ The one taken away from the café . ”
Allen called over the officer in charge . After some questioning , they learned that a lawyer had bailed the man out .
Aria smirked . “ Well , that was quick .”
“ Who posted bail ? ” Allen asked .
With the money gone , she must have reported it right away . They had to act fast to take the man in , leaving little time for preparation .
The person who bailed the man out was likely either one of their so – called “ Justice Warrior ” or just another accomplice .
The officer replied , “ Mason Webb . ”
Allen issued an order . “ Investigate this man thoroughly . Keep him under surveillance . ”
The officer answered , “ Understood , Chief . ”
Mason Webb … That name rang a bell .
