Chapter 65
Evan reached for a cigarette but stopped himself, remembering he was still at the Lundberg residence. “Human trafficking and illegal organ harvesting have become increasingly rampant abroad. Many families have already suffered because of it,” he said.
“I’ve seen the news.”
“News?” Evan sneered. “The reality is far worse than what’s shown in the news. Especially for nen–they suffer the most. Falling into the hands of those monsters is nothing short of

“The only fortunate thing for Mrs. Lundberg is her youth and beauty. She wouldn’t be discarded as easily as others, but sometimes, beauty can be more of a curse than a blessing.
Evan didn’t finish the sentence, but Devon understood. His face grew heavy with concern.
“Even if she’s found, she might not be the same Mrs. Lundberg anymore. For a family as prominent as the Lundbergs, would they still accept someone like her?” Evan remarked.
From behind, Shane’s voice rang out, firm and resolute. “Yes. No matter what happens to Ally, I’ll find her. Start investigating immediately. See if she’s fallen into their hands.”

The blossoms on the trees were in full bloom. Shane stared at them blankly, lost in thought.
“Mr. Lundberg, you don’t look well. Maybe you should rest. I’ll let you know as soon as there’s any news,” Devon said.
Shane gripped the armrest of the swing tightly, his gaze unfocused. “Ally used to love sitting here and soaking up the sun.”
Sensing Shane’s low spirit, Devon tried to console him. “Yes, back then, your relationship with
