Chapter 917
James had been resting in a room on the second floor of Cynthia’s villa.
Throughout the day, he came down to have something to eat.
After eating, he headed back to his room. He sat in a lotus position, meditating and cultivating his True Energy.
The night passed by silently.
The following day, James called the Blithe King and Jay for updates. Unfortunately, he could not find the person
suspected to be his grandfather through either official or underground intelligence networks.
James got dressed and went downstairs.
Cynthia and Maxine had already woken up.

The two women greeted him.
He nodded and sat down on the sofa.
Maxine asked, “How is it? Is there any news from the Blithe King?”
James shook his head and said, “No. The person who took Tiara seems to have vanished and is untraceable. The
Blithe King used every connection he could but he still can’t track down the car. I’m baffled by how a vehicle could
disappear into thin air when the whole city is full of surveillance cameras.”
Maxine comforted him, saying, “Don’t worry. We can’t panic in such critical times.”
Suddenly, James‘ phone rang. He picked it up and looked at the screen. David was calling him.
His brows furrowed, and he said, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
David’s voice sounded from the phone. “James, is my sister with you?”
“No, why?”
“Thea didn’t come home last night, and her phone is turned off. We thought she was with you.”
“What?”
James stood up abruptly and asked, “She didn’t go home the whole night?”
“Yeah. Since she’s not with you, there’s nothing else.”
David hung up the phone.
Maxine asked, “What happened?”
James sat down and said, “The Callahans called and asked if Thea was with me. They said Thea didn’t return home
last night, and her phone was turned off.”

were together at night.
“Sorry, the number you’ve dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.”
James‘ call did not connect. Suddenly, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
Maxine immediately noticed that James‘ expression was off and asked worriedly, “How is it?”
“I can’t reach Quincy. I think something bad must’ve happened. I’ve got to check Quincy’s place. Cynthia, borrow
me your car.”
Cynthia quickly instructed. “Luther, drive James there.”
Standing aside, Luther nodded and said, “Mr. Caden, I’ll drive you there.”
Maxine stood up and said, “I’ll come with you.”
“Alright.” James nodded.
