In spite of his best efforts, Jaylen was unable to locate them. He tried asking Aldrin if Camila had upset anyone.

Aldrin replied, "None that I know of, but,

“But what?" Jaylen asked anxiously.

“If there was someone who wanted to harm Camila, wouldn't it be you?"

For a while, Jaylen was at a loss for an appropriate response.

“I only asked her to marry me. I haven't treated her badly in any way. Before he could finish his words, Aldrin interrupted, "Forcing her to marry you is hurting her."

Jaylen opened his mouth only to close it again.

He once again found himself at a loss for words.

Nothing he could say in response would have been adequate.

After all, it was indeed immoral of him to coerce her into a marriage she did not want to be in.

It was not the appropriate time to discuss this, though. As of right now, locating Camila was of utmost importance.

“Since she got taken while under your protection, it's your responsibility to track her down." Aldrin seemed unconcerned. At this point, all he cared about was obeying Camila's orders.

Jaylen snorted in disbelief after realizing he had approached the wrong person.

“You have different mothers, but you share the same father. She's your sister. Aren't you worried about her at all?"

Aldrin shot back, "You don't have the right to lecture me. You're the one who didn't protect her properly, even though you're supposed to be her future husband."

For the third time, Jaylen was rendered speechless. Not only had he failed to discover Camila's whereabouts, but he appeared to have exacerbated the situation.

In the end, Jaylen left without obtaining any useful information from Aldrin.

Before he left, Aldrin added, "You failed to protect my sister, so you must bring her back safe and sound. If anything happens to her, I won't forgive you."

Jaylen had no intention of inflicting harm on Camila at all. All he wanted was for her to become his wife.

He also did not want to hurt her son. In fact, he even employed a nurse who specialized in caring for infants to look after her child.

“I don't need you to tell me that. I'm going to find her, by hook or by crook." With that, Jaylen left.

Aldrin's expression twisted in worry. It was not that he was not bothered by Camila's disappearance. Rather, he was just perplexed by everything.

Camila, in his opinion, possessed a high level of intelligence.

She planned out practically everything that she did.

Was this part of her plan as well?
