Chapter 255

A flashy yellow sports car arrogantly halted in front of the shop. From the driver’s seat, Robert, dressed in a sicck black leather jacket, got out with an air of cool defiance.

He was the sole proprietor of the shop, but in order to escape his father’s control, he kept a low profile, hence the shop wasn’t named after him.

It was a hub for him and his wealthy friends who were passionate about cars. The rich and the reckless gathered there.

And because of this, ICE Auto Shop had the most comprehensive network of wealthy families in Stonebridge City.

If you were smart, if you knew how to network, you could learn anything you wanted to know in less than a day at ICE.

Entering the lobby, several of these rich kids were lounging around on the sofas, some playing video games, some flirting with girls, Seeing Robert walk in, Wade Charles, the heir to the Charles Group, abruptly stood up and blocked Robert’s path with a mischievous smirk. “Mr. Fitzgerald, you’ve been away from the shop for too long! If you don’t come around more often, I might just claim it as my own!”

Robert gave him a cool glance, “You’re dreaming, Wade. Where’s Kent?”

Wade pointed upstairs, “In the darkroom. He’s been in there for days, fiddling with who knows what.”

Kent was the mechanic of the shop, not only skilled in car repairs, but also in fixing various mechanical parts. Marguerite’s phone was currently being repaired by him.

Hearing this, Robert immediately headed for the stairs, but Wade suddenly ran up and blocked his way again.

“What now?”

Wade glanced at the other rich kids behind him, then mysteriously pulled Robert into a corner.

“Mr. Fitzgerald, there’s some news about your family. I heard from my dad that Hackett Fitzgerald has been looking for your sister.”

Robert’s eyebrows twitched, “And?”

Wade, seeing Robert’s indifference, was exasperated.

“And what? Your father said if you don’t want to inherit the family fortune, he’ll let your sister inherit it all! You need to go back home before it’s too late! Robert didn’t seem to be fazed, “I’d actually like to meet this alleged sister of mine. If she wants to inherit the family fortune, that’s fine by me. Then, my father won’t be on my case all the time.”

Unlike the other rich kids, Robert lived as he pleased. He had many interests-medicine, coding, racing-

but no interest in inheriting the family fortune. He did have a sister, but she mysteriously disappeared shortly after birth. The Fitzgerald family had been searching for her for twenty-two years without any leads In fact, Robert had started this auto shop and gathered all the car enthusiasts in Stonebridge City, partly in hopes of gathering useful information to find his sister.

“Mr. Fitzgerald, have you lost your mind? The Fitzgerald family is second only to the Winstons! You’re willing to give all that money to a sister you’ve never met?”

Robert shrugged, his hands in his pockets, “Money isn’t that important to me. If my sister wants it, she can have it all.”

Wade was speechless with shock, he slapped his forehead and blurted, “You’re a fool! An absolute fool Wade stormed off, and Robert headed upstairs.

His sister’s return to inherit the family fortune was secondary. His main concern was his mother’s melancholy over their missing daughter He remembers the day his sister was born, it was also his sixth birthday. He had been so excited that he had left his birthday cake untouched and ran to the hospital His little sister had been born prematurely and was frail and weak. She lay in the incubator with her eyes closed, but her little mouthing movements as if she wanted to drink milk, were etched deeply into Robert’s memory His sister was clearly going to grow up to be beautifull Robert was so enamored with her that he put his own bracelet on her small ankle. The bracelet had a small lock that could only be opened with a password He wanted to keep his adorable sister close forever, but things took an unexpected turn, and she was stolen when she was just three days uld The perpetrators had planned it well, destroying the surveillance cameras and evading the bodyguards By the time they realized, it was too late His worst fear is that his sister was sold to a remote and unpoverished area by human traffickers Regardless, he was determined to find her Lost in thought, Robert had reached the darkroom He pushed the door open the room was dimly lit, with only a desk lamp beside Kent shedding a faint light Robert laid his hand on Kent’s shoulder and asked softly “Kent, is the phone foxed yet?”
