Sterling bore some resemblance to Zackary in terms of facial features, both exceptionally handsome and cool.

Jacob stood at the entrance of the Luxury Clubhouse and felt that Sterling looked somewhat familiar.

Just now, he heard someone calling Mr. Howard Sterling, and he immediately thought of Zackary.

There are not many people with the surname Howard in Suffolk, let alone this person in front of me who looks so much like Zackary.

When Jacob saw Sterling, he was reminded of all the

unpleasant things from the past, and his face turned extremely gloomy and unattractive.

If it weren’t for the only reason of rationality telling him that this person was not Zackary himself, but most likely just his relative or son, he wouldn’t have taken his anger out on him, he would have thrown a punch long ago.

Sterling had long asked Deon to check the Seffolk Hotel system and found out that Jacob had booked a room at this hotel. He arrived early and asked the front desk to upgrade the regular suite to a luxury suite.

He heard a sound just now, and he came out intending to greet Jacob.

Before he could even speak, the other person stared at him as if he were a sworn enemy.

After all, Sterling, being Audrey’s father, didn’t want to leave a bad impression on the other person. However, it seemed like the other person had a deep prejudice against him, and for a moment, he didn’t know whether to speak up or not.

Just at that moment, the elevator door opened.

Becca and Audrey walked out one after another.

Audrey walked quickly up to Jacob, who didn’t look well, and whispered, “The receptionist said there was no mistake.”

Jacob pulled Audrey into the room, without giving Audrey and Sterling a chance to make eye contact.

Upon hearing a loud bang, the sound of the door being shut, Sterling furrowed his brows.

Becca crossed her arms, her red l*ps slightly curved, and looked at Sterling with a smile that seemed both mocking and sympathetic. “It seems like your love life hasn’t been going very smoothly, huh?”

Sterling did not respond to Becca’s words. He saw Becca’s swollen and broken l*p, and his deep narrow eyes squinted, “What happened to you?”

Becca touched her still painful l*ps and a flash of anger crossed her beautiful eyes, “I was bitten by a mad dog.”

Sterling tugged at the corner of his l*p and said, “It’s not easy to bite your crazy dog.”

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his suite.

Becca didn’t follow immediately, instead she took out a mirror

and l*pstick, touched up her makeup, and then went in.

After Audrey was pulled into the room by Jacob, her heart hadn’t fully recovered.

It seems like there were only two suites on the top floor. Becca came up with her, and she and Sterling were going to enter the suite next door?

She knew she was not qualified to interfere in Sterling’s personal life, even if something happened between him and Becca, it would be reasonable.

After all, they had an engagement between them!

She understood all the reasons, but when she actually saw them together, living in the same room, her heart felt like it had been bitten by ants, causing a dense and uncomfortable pain.

Jacob asked Audrey a few questions and noticed that she didn’t. respond. He looked at her and saw that she was sitting on the couch lost in thought. He furrowed his brows slightly and asked, “Hey kid, what are you thinking about?”

Audrey snapped out of it and quickly shook her head, “Nothing… never mind.”

Jacob sat across from Audrey, his slender fingers propping up his chin, and pondered, “Do you know Mr. Howard?”

Audrey’s heart sk ipped a beat as she sensed the animosity of Little Dad towards the Howard family.

The matter of the shadow, she hadn’t had a chance to

communicate with her father properly.

“Dad, actually Mom didn’t have an affair back then.”

As soon as Audrey finished speaking, Jacob’s face darkened visibly at an alarming speed. “The events of that year caused a great uproar and were known to everyone in the city. You were young at the time and knew nothing about it!”

Audrey lowered her eyes and took out a camcorder from her backpack.

She opened a video and played it for Jacob to watch.

This video recorded the conversation between her and the

shadow.

Jacob’s pupils contracted sharply as he caught a glimpse of the shadowy figure. He looked at Audrey with suspicion and asked, “Who is she?”

“Don’t worry, watch this video first.”

Jacob patiently watched the video to the end.

After reading it, he remained silent for a long time.

After a while, he suddenly held his head with both hands, his fingers digging into his short hair, and he forcefully gripped his scalp.

“She didn’t cheat? That woman wasn’t her?”

“Da mn it! We all misunderstood her!”

Jacob’s b*dy trembled incessantly, and he resembled a wild

beast that had been struck with a massive blow, as if he was on the verge of collapsing in the next moment.

Audrey sat beside Jacob and gently wrapped her arms around. his arm, her deer-like eyes welling up with moisture. “Dad, don’t be like this. Mom is very likely still alive. If we can find her, we can make it up to her…”

Jacob looked up, his dull eyes dimming even further, as if he had caught a glimpse of hope. He clenched his fists tightly, his voice trembling as he asked, “Is she still possibly alive?”

Audrey nodded and took out the jade ring, handing it to Jacob. She told Jacob the last words spoken by the shadow.

Jacob stared at the jade ring for a long time, and in the end, he clenched it tightly in his palm, as if it was his last hope of finding Aurora.

He nodded at Audrey and said, “It has been so many years, and your mother has never shown up. I am worried that the situation is not good. But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up. However, from now on, my focus will be on finding your mother.”

Audrey’s l*ps curved into a sweet smile, “Don’t worry, Dad, I didn’t get jealous.”

Jacob touched Audrey’s head and thought that Aurora might still be alive. His heart pounded fiercely in his chest.

The father and daughter chatted for a long time until late at night before returning to their respective rooms.

After Audrey took a shower, she lay in bed, tossing and turning,

but she couldn’t fall asleep at all.

As soon as I closed my eyes, it was the thing that Sterling and Becca were together in the next room.

There were many discordant images in my mind.

She pounded her own head and, feeling frustrated, buried herself under the covers.

But the more troubled the heart, the harder it is to fall asleep.

I don’t know how long it had been when the sound of a text message came from my phone.

Audrey picked up her phone and glanced at it.

Message from Sterling.

Did you sleep?

Audrey’s heart sk ipped a beat as her fingertips quickly typed a few words, only to delete them all.

After a while, I received another message from him.

-I was at the door, and you opened it.

Audrey put down her phone, left the room, and walked towards. the door.

Looking through the peephole, I saw Sterling standing at the

door. He was wearing the same black shirt as before, without a single wrinkle. He looked cool and well-groomed, not like he had done anything discordant.

Audrey bit her l*p, took a deep breath, and pulled open the door.

She only stuck her head out, with her b*dy remaining inside the house. Her clear deer-like eyes glanced at the man at the door and asked, “It’s so late, what do you want with me?”

“Becca drank too much. She has been in the bathroom for a long time and hasn’t come out. Can you please go in and check on her? I’m afraid something might have happened to her.”

Upon hearing Sterling’s words, Audrey felt both angry and amused.

He booked a room with Becca, and when she went into the bathroom, he got worried and asked her to check for him.
