Charles decided to give Hiram a call. "Hiram, have you found out Edward's whereabouts?"

"Mr. Fu, I've tried looking for him in all the possible places he could have gone to. I scouted every area of the city, but unfortunately, I haven't found him. My suspicion is that he is still in the country and hasn't left at all," answered Hiram.

Charles' eyes darkened when he heard this. "Do you think he's doing this on purpose?"

"I'm not so sure. Maybe..." Before he could finish his sentence, Hiram stopped himself after giving it a second thought.

"Go on!"

"Does Edward have... Ah, Mr. Fu. I really am not sure. In my opinion, I just feel like if you don't end up with Nancy, he will surely benefit from it. Don't you think so?" Hiram spoke cautiously, afraid of angering Charles.

Charles' fingers slowly gripped tightly on the phone.

He didn't want to believe that Edward was doing this on purpose. However, there seemed to be no other reason for his disappearance.

Charles considered that maybe Edward and Derrick were conspiring against him.

The whole time, Nancy was standing right next to Charles and could clearly hear every bit of what Hiram and Charles talked about.

"Charles, listen to me. Edward is really not that kind of person. I'm sure something must have happened

re were more important matters at the moment. Nancy just wanted to find Edward as soon as possible and didn't want to get into a dispute with Charles because of this.

"Mr. Fu. I haven't yet found the whereabouts of Edward. However, I seem to have come across something..." The sound of Hiram's voice came from Charles' phone.

"What is it? Tell me!" urged Charles.

"It seems that Nancy and Edward have registered into marriage abroad..." Hiram wasn't so sure about this, but he had acquired the news from his subordinates.

He added, "Additionally, Mr. Fu, it seems that your grandfather knows about it. You better think of explaining some things to him. It might be a little tricky."

"Okay, got it." Charles put his phone aside.

After that, he glared at Nancy with eyes blazing with wrath.

"What's wrong?" Completely unaware of what the call was about, Nancy looked back at Charles with a stupefied expression.

"Are you married?"

Nancy was taken aback, completely bewildered. It made no sense to her. It was impossible that she had gotten married without her knowledge.

"No!" Nancy shouted, denying the information.

"Figure out what's going on!" Charles shouted venomously on the phone.

"Yes, Mr. Fu!"

As soon as Charles ended the call, his phone began ringing again.
