Her Disappearance Six Years Ago

"...disappeared?" Calix's brows arching, his entire countenance expressing his bewilderment over Edward's statement, "Did you just say... she disappeared for more than one year?"

Edward tightened his jaw, nodding once before rephrasing his previous words, "Mrs. Charlene vanished from high society. To be exact, the Li family secretly sent her to a faraway place."

The mention of the Li family alarmed Calix, morphing his expression from shaken to shock laced with disgust. His face all scrunching up, he peeled his eyes from Edward, staring at the file in his hands.

"The Li family had a hand in my wife's disappearance? Did they deliberately keep her whereabouts hidden?"

"Yes, Boss Xu. Six years ago, Mrs. Charlene vanished around March. She only reappeared the next year during the summer."

Edward diligently reported more about the surprising discovery.
