Despite the heavy traffic, nobody lent a hand to the man. Ever a kind girl, Janey took Annis' hand and hurried over, wanting to assess the situation and get Annis to call for assistance.

Unexpectedly, as they approached and showed concern, a_ strong fragrance overwhelmed them, making Janey and Annis dizzy and disoriented. Shortly thereafter, a car pulled up and they were swiftly taken away.

Whenever Raegan recalled the incident, a chill ran down her spine.

How could there be people so wicked, using someone's kindness for their own evil intentions?

Later, the bodies of the kidnappers and their car were found in the river. Raegan suspected that someone had silenced them to cover up the crime.

Raegan felt no pity for them. They had this fate coming. By carrying out such schemes, they were practically digging their own graves, having not seen they were merely pawns in the whole scheme, death looming over once their mission was fulfilled.

Though the kidnappers’ bodies were found, Raegan had a suspect of the mastermind behind the scene. The mastermind, efficient and merciless, spared none once her desired results were achieved. It bore the hallmark of "the Glyn family."

Outwardly, the Foster family seemed to move past the incident, but privately, they never stopped gathering evidence. Many challenges Raegan couldn't handle alone were privately managed by Erick. Never in this lifetime would the Foster family let go of those targeted Janey. No matter how long it took, they would catch the mastermind behind it all.

The next day.

After sorting out her work, Raegan scheduled a dinner date with a man. He was a friend of her father and had helped with a major business transaction.

Raegan arrived early at the restaurant to wait for him.

Shortly, a middle-aged man with a distinguished presence entered and immediately noticed Raegan at the table. He greeted her with a wave, “Raegan."

Raegan promptly stood up and greeted him respectfully, “Benson.”

Once seated, they enjoyed a meal while discussing business.

After they finished eating, Benson Prescott asked, “Raegan, do you know any casual places around for meetings? I have two friends who'd like to meet."

"I know just the place. I'm familiar with the manager. Let me book it for you and show you the way."

"Would that be inconvenient for you?"

"Not at all. Benson, you've come a long way to Ardlens. Tonight, I'll handle the arrangements."

"Great, those two friends also have business ties with you. You'll meet them later."

"That sounds fine."
