When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Jared’s face paled. Just then, the waiter brought over his order.

He took in a breath before pushing the dessert toward me. Then, he said in a low voice, “Scarlett, I must admit that this is my fault. However, the most important thing now is to find Summer.”

I simply pressed my lips together and stared at him, waiting for him to continue.

“I’ve checked the surveillance footage and all the cameras on the roads around Crest Residence. There’s still no trace of her.”

He then looked me in the eye and asked solemnly, “Scarlett, do you have any enemies?”

I frowned, looking at him in shock. “Are you suspecting that someone took Summer because of their hatred for me?”

He replied, “Not many people in the Crest family know of Summer’s identity, so our long-time enemies couldn’t possibly have found out about her so quickly.”

I sneered. Looking at him, I could not help but laugh. “Jared, I’d always thought you were pretty smart, but I’m doubtful now. If someone really wanted to capture Summer because of me, why didn’t they do anything while I was in R Province for four years? Why did they choose to do it only when Summer was in a heavily guarded place like the Crest Residence?”

I paused, then continued, “Also, you said that not many people know of Summer’s identity. But the Crest family has over twenty people. Do they know of Summer’s identity?”

He frowned, then nodded after a while.
