In the following days, Miranda was nowhere to be found.

She didn't return home, and Lilah sometimes couldn't locate her.

Frustrated and worried, Lilah asked Gerard to investigate Cason's background thoroughly.

Gerard soon delivered a stack of documents.

Lilah was shocked when she read them.

The Sanderson family wasn't just any wealthy family; they'd been rooted in Xylo for a century with extensive influence.

Most importantly, when Kuskeonga's royal family rose to power, it was the Sanderson’ family's financial support’ that facilitated it.

In other words, the Sanderson family was like the power behind the throne. Although they've been low-key in recent years, in Kuskeonga, no one dared provoke them.

The more Lilah read, the more her brows furrowed.

Cason graduated from a world-class university and then worked in the family business, having already taken over the company.

But Gerard found that Cason was merely a spokesperson for the Sanderson family; the true power holder was his grandfather, Louis.

"Do you know when they met?" Lilah asked, looking up.

Her mind was increasingly muddled. Until she got to the bottom of her sister's intentions, she wouldn't be at peace.

Gerard replied, "That's something we can't find. The Sanderson family deliberately hid it, and no one can uncover it."

Lilah's brows knitted tighter.

"Is there a chance your sister simply likes Cason? They might have gone through something deeply moving, " Gerard suggested, trying to comfort her." If you're truly concerned, take a step back and think it through to avoid hurting her feelings."

Meanwhile, by the tranquil edge of Willow Lake, nestled in the quiet outskirts of Eleywood.

Miranda took what Cason handed her, her expression easing slightly.

"What is this?" she asked, examining the button-like object, turning it over repeatedly." Is it related to the person I'm looking for?"

"I searched the Kuskeonga presidential palace as you instructed but found no traces. However, recently, I noticed this gold-thread button on the personal doctor of Kuskeonga's First Lady, matching the design you showed me before...

If Lilah were here, she'd be astounded by Cason's transformation.

He was now a picture of noble elegance, moving with the grace of someone raised with gentlemanly education, completely devoid of his previous timid demeanor.

"So, by following this button, we might find the clues we're seeking?" Miranda's eyes sparkled as she turned to look at Cason.

He raised an eyebrow, a warm hue appearing on his cool face.
