Everleigh reached out her hand and took hold of Theodore's. She said with a smile, "Let's go. Let's pack up and go to Haviden City."
"Okay." He nodded with a serious expression as if he was agreeing to her every request.
They drove to Haviden City, and it was also considered as a private vacation for the both of them. Christopher gave all the previous clues he found to Everleigh.
"It's been a long time since I last came out for a holiday."
"You can just consider this as a vacation with me." He turned to look at her excited expression. His smile was even wider.
The two set off in the morning and arrived at the hotel in the evening. They were very tired from the day's journey. As for looking for someone, they left the matter in the back of their minds.
The next morning, Everleigh opened her eyes and looked at the scenery outside. The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile as she turned her head to look at Theodore's sleeping face. She reached out her hand and caressed his face.
"I'm a little tired. Don't move first."
"I knew you would say that." She knew that he was awake and she didn't want to disturb him. She got up directly to change her clothes and took out her phone to call Christopher's subordinate.
She needed to ask them about the exact location where they had found the person.
"Hello, are you Lincoln Holwer?"
"Hello, Miss Trevino. Mr. Meyer called me beforehand. Have you arrived in Haviden City?" Lincoln asked.
"Yes, I'm in Watson Hotel. You can come and find me here." She looked at the time. It was just right to come at this moment.
"Okay, I'll go over now."
After she hung up the phone, Theodore had already changed into new clothes and sat next to her. "Is he coming now?"
"Yes, let's have breakfast. We'll be using a lot of energy later," she said as she took the phone to ask the receptionist to send up their breakfast.
As soon as they finished breakfast, Lincoln arrived.
Both of them sized him up. He looked like a gentleman and he wore a pair of glasses. However, the sharp look beneath his eyes could not be hidden no matter how hard he tried.
"Hello, Miss Trevino."
"Mr. Holwer, sit down and have a cup of tea." She pointed to the sofa next to them.
He sat down and looked towards Theodore. He knew that he was Theodore Godfrey from the Four Greatest Households.
"Mr. Holwer, please tell us everything you know."
"Yes, Mr. Meyer asked me to look into Derick Lawson. When we found him, he had been taken away by others. We have been looking for his whereabouts. Three days ago, we found that he was here, but we didn't take any action in order to avoid anything untoward happening. We were worried that we would alert the enemy."
Lincoln spoke with a serious expression on his face. At the same time, he took out a map of Haviden City and drew a circle on it, which was also the area where Derick last appeared.
Upon seeing the map, Theodore's eyes flashed and he said coldly, "You're from the army, aren't you?"
"Yes, I was," Lincoln answered frankly, but the surprised look in his eyes was captured by Theodore.
Everleigh looked back at him and asked, "How did you know?" "To be able to shrink the location within such a large area, I really can't think of other people besides the army. This is also the most basic training they had," Theodore explained.
She gained some new knowledge. It turned out that they could find someone in this way too. No wonder they targeted Derick.
"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Godfrey. It's just our instinctive reaction." Lincoln pushed up the glasses on his face. There was no emotion in his calm eyes.
"Do you know where he is now?"
"Our people have already gone to investigate. There will be a result soon."
"How long will it take?" Theodore asked.
"Will there be any danger tomorrow?"
"It's uncertain. Derick is quick-witted. Otherwise, we wouldn't have wasted so much time to find him," Lincoln frowned slightly. There's really no way to guess what would happen in the future.
Theodore wasn't worried about whether or not they would be able to find Derick. He was worried about Everleigh's safety.
"What are you worrying about? Our people will protect Miss Trevino well." Lincoln could see his concern for her.
Theodore didn't say anything and took a deep breath instead.
The next day, Everleigh went out under Lincoln's guidance. In a forest on the outskirts, there was a tall building in the distance. She knew that people who could live here were not ordinary people.
She was suspicious. "Does Derick have the money to live in such a villa?"
It was too unbelievable.
Not only she thought of this, but it was the same for Theodore as well.
"Who are these people?"
"They are very rich people. Miss Trevino, we have to be prepared. This is not a place where we can enter just because we want to," Lincoln explained.
She nodded with a serious look. She had a feeling that there might be someone else behind Derick.
Thinking of this, she was a little nervous. "Does Derick have a benefactor?" She thought.
As the car drove further inside, she became even more nervous.
As they headed towards the beautiful villas in front of them, Theodore's frown deepened. "Didn't you guys find out who Derick has been living with?"
