After a moment of silence, Athena softened her voice. "Jaden, these are just my guesses. I have no evidence to support them, so I can't make any conclusions. Even if Zilvia left intentionally, she might have been deceived. Maybe she met someone online or elsewhere, and they made certain promises that convinced her to willingly go along with their plans."
"You're right." Jaden covered his eyes with his hand, a bitter smile on his face. "No matter how smart she is, she's still just a kid. It's very likely she was fooled."
He paused slightly and then said, "Athena, promise me one thing."
He lowered his hand from his eyes and looked at Athena. "If one day you're sure your analysis is correct, please make sure to tell me. But don't tell anyone else in the family."
Athena wanted to comfort him but didn't know how. She could only whisper, "Okay."
Jaden took his hand off his face. "Athena, I'd like to have a drink. Is that Okay? I promise I won't get drunk, and I definitely won't act like a fool."
"Drink as much as you want," Athena replied gently. "I have a hangover remedy that works instantly, so I'm not worried."
Jaden ordered a bottle of wine with an alcohol content of over twenty degrees and sipped it slowly.
Athena remained silent, slowly nibbling on snacks as she watched Jaden drink.
It took Jaden over an hour to finish the bottle, and he was a bit tipsy, not needing anyone to take care of him, but he looked somewhat dazed, and his steps were unsteady.
Athena didn't give Jaden the hangover remedy.
When a person suffered and felt trapped to the extreme, they had to do something to vent their frustration. Otherwise, the consequences could be worse than getting drunk.
After paying the bill, she helped Jaden downstairs and then into the car.
Linda witnessed this scene.
She was filled with bitterness.
She gritted her teeth, driving behind Athena, watching the two of them enter Mid-Level Mountain Garden again, feeling her heart shatter once more.
Linda desperately wanted to enter the community to see what exactly Jaden's relationship with Athena was, but she didn't know anyone who lived there. The security was strict, and her attempts to charm or bribe the guards failed miserably.
After wandering around for a while, she decided to flirt with a male resident to gain entry.
However, just then, her family called, urging her to come home immediately.
With no choice, Linda had to leave, planning to find them the next day.
That afternoon, Athena stayed in, holding her tablet to read documents while keeping an eye on Jaden, who was sleeping on the sofa.
The conversation that morning must have been a huge shock for Jaden. Athena noticed a tear trickle down the corner of his eye, making her heart ache.
She reflected on whether it was right to share her terrifying speculations with Jaden without any solid evidence.
Nevertheless, Zilvia's case had to be investigated thoroughly.
After some thought, Athena called her mom and asked her to send Catherine's photo, preparing to search for Catherine's information online.
She felt that since Catherine was so close to Zilvia and spent every day with her, it was unlikely she was unaware of Zilvia's disappearance.
Just as she started browsing, she was inundated with hashtags, [Matthew engaged to Anabel Powell, the Graham family of Kitmore city officially joins the Powell family], [Neil dines with his friend at Monolith Hotel, revealing Matthew's Engagement], [Matthew's fiancée Anabel has an impressive background and matches Matthew in status and talent], [Anabel's stunning photos make netizens envious].
Athena was shocked as she clicked on one of the articles and immediately saw a photo of Anabel in a swimsuit.
It was beautifully taken, rivaling that of professional swimsuit models.
Anabel had stunning features and a bright, confident smile that radiated elegance and pride fitting for her status. She wore a yellow and blue high-waisted swimsuit that highlighted her amazing figure, which even made Athena feel a little envious.
Scrolling down, Athena found there were many more photos of her.
One showed Anabel in a red evening gown at a gala, dancing gracefully with a prince.
Another featured her in a graduation suit, taken at a prestigious school, celebrating her achievement.
There were shots of Anabel in a business suit at an international high-profile conference, shaking hands and posing with foreign dignitaries.
And yet another captured her in the front row of a top fashion show, dressed in the latest style.
