It’s too late for regrets 89

“Shane’s here? Betty, set another place at the table so he can join us for dinner,” Mom said. 

Compared to Shane’s haggard appearance, my parents looked far more vibrant. 

It was the weekend, and both my brothers were home today. They treated Shane with great 

warmth. 

“Shane, why do you look so down? Is there still no news about my sister?” 

“We have spoiled that girl since she was little. You’ll have to bear with her a bit. Honestly, there’s nothing to worry about. She’s a grown adult. She couldn’t just vanish into thin air. Most likely, she’s hiding somewhere to get back at you. 

“She’s just like a child, always making a scene to grab everyone’s attention. Ignore her, and she’ll settle down on her own.” 

With a loud bang, Shane slammed his spoon onto the table. 

Though not as influential as the Lundberg family, the Schultz family was used to catering to Shane’s moods. 

Seeing his sudden anger, everyone stopped eating and looked at him. 

“Shane, what’s wrong?” 

appeared. “What about Allison? What happened to her?” 

“She was abducted and smuggled to Jackville by sea.” 

Clattering echoed in the room. 

Mom’s fork fell to the floor. “What? Allison is the eldest daughter of the Schultz family. How could she… Shane, are you sure there’s no mistake?” 

“Mom, I wish I were wrong. But it’s been over 20 days, and there’s no sign of Ally. 

“If she had gotten into an accident, the police would have contacted us to identify her body by now. If she were alive, it would be impossible not to leave any trace in this information–driven

society. The only explanation is that she was taken. I felt it was necessary to inform you all.” 

I watched my family’s reaction closely, curious about how they had responded to my predicament. 

My mother stood up and paced the dining room, muttering, “It’s all that silly girl’s fault. Wandering off for no reason! 

“Now that she’s been abducted, is she satisfied? Jackville, of all places? Once a woman ends up 

there, her life is as good as over… 

What began as a scolding soon dissolved into despair. She crouched down, her voice choking 

with sobs. 

“Dear heavens, what are we going to do?” 

Dad helped her up, speaking calmly. “Don’t panic just yet. We haven’t confirmed if Allison is really there. Shane, how reliable is your information?” 

“Jackville has been in chaos recently. I contacted an intermediary, and while they didn’t see Ally personally, they mentioned a woman resembling her. 

“Considering the timing of her abduction, her injured waist, and the spot on her wedding dress where it was torn, it’s highly likely to her.” 

“My poor daughter… Honey, we’re going to Jackville. We need to leave immediately.” 

“Calm down. Jackville is in chaos right now. If we go, we need to prepare in advance.” 

Dad looked solemn. “I have a contact in the area. I’ll reach out to him and hire some mercenaries ahead of time.” 

“Dad, we’ll go with you. 

No matter what Allison’s done, she’s still our sister. We can’t just leave her in a place like that.” 

“No. Archer, Ashton, you two must stay behind. The company can’t go a single day without someone in charge,” Dad said. 

He turned to Shane. “Shane, you come with me.‘ 

A flicker of hesitation crossed Shane’s face. “Dad, I…” 

“I know what you’re worried about. If it’s true that Allison was taken to Jackville, it would severely damage the Lundberg reputation if this news got out. 

“Recently, I’ve heard that your uncle has been quite active. But you must remember one thing. Anthony’s favorite is Allison, his granddaughter–in–law. 

“If you refuse to go, how do you think he’ll see you? If this news spreads, do you want 

everyone to think you’re a cowardly, selfish man who breaks his promises and abandons his loved ones?”

Shane nodded. “Dad, I’ll go!” 

“Good. Get ready. Tonight, we’re going to Jackville to bring Allison home.”
