Chapter 6
It was just a fight, was it really necessary to go no–contact? Did she really think she could escape from his grasp?
These thoughts kept surging through Lucas’s mind.
He quickly found Derek and began searching for any traces of Emma’s departure.
However, the anxious wait brought results that completely shocked Lucas.
Nothing. There were no traces left behind at all.
Emma seemed to have vanished into thin air, with all data wiped clean.
There were even various signs indicating that Emma was dead.
“Impossible, how is this possible? I won’t allow this to happen!
“You must not have tried hard enough. Search again, thoroughly!”
Lucas was like a raging beast, roaring as he glared at Derek.
Derek was terrified and hurriedly rushed off to continue the search.
However, the results were the same–nothing could be found.
It was as if Emma had never existed in this world.
“How is this possible? Why…”
Lucas felt complete anguish, his heart feeling like it was being stabbed with a knife repeatedly.

He thought he didn’t care about Emma–but why did it feel like losing her tore him apart?
Nina’s hacking skills were among the most advanced in the country.
Even though Lucas had a professional detective team, they were nothing compared to Nina’s abilities.
Lucas slumped onto the couch. Just then, Sophie slowly opened the door and stepped in.
J’Lucas, don’t be like this. I’m scared. What happened?”
Before Sophie could finish speaking, Lucas snapped, “Shut up!
“Didn’t I tell you to wait at home? What are you doing here?”
Sophie panicked. “Lucas, I was just worried about you. Look at yourself now–everything was fine yesterday..
Lucas looked at her, his eyes cold as if he wanted to kill someone.
“I told you to wait at home!
“You’re nothing but a mistress, so act like one!
“How dare you disobey me?!”
That single sentence left Sophie completely stunned.
She hadn’t expected this. She thought she had won Lucas’s favor and defeated Emma.
But… she hadn’t won at all!
“Sorry, the number you have dialed does not exist.”

The hollow, mechanical voice echoed repeatedly throughout the vast
mansion.
Lucas hadn’t left the house in two days. His mind was unraveling.
He was like a man who had lost his soul, just sitting on the sofa and dialing that familiar number from time to time.
Lucas was confused and had even started to regret.

If he hadn’t suddenly gotten the whim to rekindle his old flame with Sophie and keep her as his mistress, would none of this have happened?
But that couldn’t be right. Which young men from the elite families in Washington D.C. didn’t have one, two, or even several mistresses on the
side?
None of them had any problems, and their marriages remained intact.
He had been quite restrained in his affairs, and Sophie was sensible enough to know her place.
So why couldn’t Emma accept it?
He couldn’t understand it. Lucas couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard
he tried.
Just then, Derek hurried over with all the information gathered from the investigation.
“Mr. Brennan, we finally found something. Your wife submitted the divorce agreement you signed before marriage to a lawyer.
“You’re now divorced, and she’s left the country with her brother.
“As for where they went… we can’t trace it. Looks like professionals covered their tracks.”

As Derek spoke, his head lowered even more in fear.

He had worked for Lucas for many years and knew exactly how miserable his fate would be if Lucas flew into a rage over this.
Silence. The mansion fell into a terrifying silence.
Lucas took a deep breath and recalled the divorce agreement he had signed before marriage to make Emma happy and to express his love.
He had even promised that if he ever wronged Emma in any way, she could sign it, and the divorce agreement would take immediate effect.
Lucas had completely forgotten about this.
He never expected this matter to stab him in the chest like a dagger.
