Chapter 1685

They had to confront Frank today to get the truth—there was no way Lyra would just leave on her own. "Tell me, where is Lyra?" Charlie demanded. The maid froze at the sight of Charlie's frantic expression. "Didn't Ms. Jansen leave last night?" She stammered, "I-I don't know where she is now, but she's not here." A cold unease settled in Charlie's chest. Something didn't feel right. He bolted from the room, rushing toward the guest bedroom next door. When he flung the door open, he found it empty. The bed was perfectly made, with no crease or sign that anyone had slept there. Lyra was the laziest person he knew—she would never make her own bed. But yesterday... Charlie's thoughts spiraled into chaos. As confusion gripped him, he suddenly remembered something Joanna had said. Could the mastermind behind The Lucent really be Frank... Did Frank really take Lyra? "Where's my father?" Charlie felt a chill run through his body. The maid had never seen Charlie like this before.
