When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1423 Queenie Is Devastated

"What?" Queenie gasped, her voice trembling in disbelief. "How could she have gone missing?"

Madeline sighed deeply. "I really don't know. She's been missing for two days now. We've searched everywhere, but there's no sign of her."

Queenie staggered, nearly collapsing to the ground. Luckily, Caliste was there to catch her, steadying her with a firm grip. "Be careful, Mdm. Queenie," Caliste said softly.

Queenie felt a wave of dizziness and clutched Caliste's hand to steady herself. "Why?" she whispered, her voice laced with desperation. "I finally found her. How could she just vanish again?" Caliste gently reassured her. "Don't worry, Mdm. Queenie. We'll find her soon, I promise."

"All right, hurry and send someone to locate her," Queenie ordered. This time, she wouldn't allow Cecilia to slip away from her again. No matter what it took, she was determined to find her daughter. "Yes, Mdm. Queenie," Caliste responded.

The Jamieson family also mobilized their efforts, sending people out to search for any trace of Cecilia.

As Madeline watched Queenie's retreating figure, her confusion deepened. She couldn't understand how Queenie had seemingly transformed into a different person.

"Come back soon, Ceci," Madeline whispered to herself.

Nathaniel had turned Tudela upside down in his frantic search for Cecilia, but all efforts had been in vain. He ordered his men to widen the search to the surrounding areas. After what felt like an eternity, a breakthrough finally came. Nathaniel and his team immediately rushed to the location, their hopes rising.

Queenie had contacted Nathaniel, explaining everything in detail. They joined forces to intensify the search for Cecilia, determined to find her no matter the cost.

This significantly increased the efficiency.

Both Queenie and Nathaniel's team rushed toward the location of the clue. However, when they arrived, their hopes were dashed. A house had already been reduced to rubble, engulfed by flames.

Nathaniel stepped out of the car, his heart racing as he made his way toward the remains.

"Ceci!" he called out. Without a second thought, he moved forward, his eyes scanning the wreckage, hoping for any sign of her.

A few people remained nearby, discussing the situation.

"The fire was so fierce last night. It seemed impossible to contain," one of the onlookers remarked. "It looked like there were people inside. wonder if anyone made it out?"

"How could anyone possibly survive such a massive blaze? They must have been reduced to ashes by now." Another person sighed.

Nathaniel listened intently, forcing

himself to remain calm despite the rising panic in his chest. He motioned to his subordinates, signaling them to begin a

meticulous search for any trace of

As they sifted through the rubble, one of the men stumbled upon a glimmering object. He carefully picked it up and handed it to Nathaniel. "Mr. Rainsworth, I found a ring." When Nathaniel saw the ring, his expression shifted dramatically. It was unmistakably Cecilia's a gift that Elliot and Jonathan had picked out for her. He recalled it clearly. He took the ring and clutched it tightly, as if afraid to let go.

"Keep searching!" His voice, low and laced with an unspoken sorrow, cut through the air.

His bodyguards immediately resumed their search, though many of the onlookers stood in confusion.novelbin

Soon, a fleet of luxury cars appeared in the distance, heading toward them.

"What's going on today? Why are there so many luxury cars?"

"Do you know who owns this house? They must be incredibly wealthy, right?"

"I heard the owner moved abroad a while ago. His family was just average-how could they possibly be so rich?"

The crowd murmured, puzzled by the sudden arrival of so many high-end vehicles.

As the cars pulled over and came to a halt, Queenie stepped out, her legs unsteady as she gazed at Nathaniel, who was deeply focused on sifting through the charred remains. Her heart sank at the sight. Without thinking, she rushed toward him, her heart pounding.

"Have you found her yet?" Queenie's voice wavered, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.

At the sound of her voice, Nathaniel snapped back to reality and turned to face her. "Why are you looking for Cecilia?"
