"I am sorry guys, I ruined your night."

"Don't say that brother Ben, it's completely fine."

"Yeah exactly, your thing is more important right now." Zixin added.

"Is there anything we can do?" Guang asked.

Crashing on the couch, Ben massaged his forehead, "I have no idea what to do next, I feel so lost."

"I don't know if this will make you feel better but we have already taken down all the articles so it's a bit manageable now." Ashton added.

"Thanks Ash."

Just then Sam entered the room rubbing his ears.

"Brother Sam, what happened?" Qiang asked.

Rubbing his ears, he sighed, "Mom pulled my ears for hiding the truth from her."

"Did you drop her home?" Ben asked.

Sam sighed and nodded his head. "Hmm but I need to talk to you about something important."

Pausing for a while, he added, "When Philip left the hall, I was talking with someone outside the hotel. He was in a hurry and looked like he was sneaking out which I found very suspicious so I asked someone to follow him."

"What did you find out?" Ben asked.

"Philip is having an affair with some other woman. He had a room booked in PAN PACIFIC hotel." Pausing for a while, Sam added, "And Clara knows about it."

"WHAT?" Everyone shouted in unison.

Ben frowned and gritted his teeth. "That bastard, I always knew that something was wrong with him. How could he cheat on her? And if Clara knows then why is she still with him? This woman will make me go crazy one day."

Placing his hand on Ben's shoulder, Sam tried to calm him down, "Don't freak out yet okay? I think Clara is definitely hiding something and it's much darker than we think."

"I think brother Sam is right, I mean why would any woman willingly be with a man who is cheating on her? That is insane." Mian added.

"I did confront Clara over this and she said that it wasn't just Philip but also her family."

Ben frowned and asked, "The Lafit family?"

"Yes."

Zixin nodded his head and frowned, "That could be possible because the Lafit family is weird too."

"What do you mean?" Ben asked.

"Clara Lafit is the adoptive daughter of the Lafit family whom they started mistreating after Helena Lafit gave birth to a son, Farak Lafit and that boy is f.u.c.k.i.n.g insane. He is into drugs and pushed the entire Lafit family to bankruptcy a year ago. If not for the Norway family backing them up, they would've been gone by now." Zixin explained.

Pausing for a while, he added, "I also heard that Philip Norway insisted on marrying only Clara though there were other young girls in the Lafit family."

"Why?" Yumi asked.

"Well, that is Philip's secret to share."

"Brother Ben, do you want me to investigate this matter?" Guang asked. "I can get you each and every detail about the entire Lafit family by tomorrow morning."

Ben nodded his head and sighed, "Thank you so much man."

"It's alright, we are all a big family after all. I'll leave now and report back as soon as possible." Giving Qiang a look, Guang walked out of the room.

…..

Outside.

Leaning against his car, Guang was patiently waiting for his girlfriend. He wanted to hug and kiss her before leaving but couldn't do it in front of everyone.

When he saw Qiang walking towards him from a distance, he smiled. She was his happy pill.

Pouncing into his embrace, Qiang sighed, "I don't want you to leave."

"Hmm, I don't want to leave either but—"

"I know it's important." Giving him a peck on his lips, she added, "Come back soon and I'll reward you tomorrow morning."

Wrapping his arms around her waist, Guang smiled, "Hmm, reward? Does that reward include your lips?"

Tiptoeing, he kissed him on his cheek and whispered, "It includes all of me."

Flipping her over, he pinned her against the car and crashed his lips against hers.

Nibbling her lower lips, he pulled over and took a deep breath, "I'll be back in a few hours to take my reward."

Fixing his tie, Qiang pouted her lips, "Too bad you are leaving because I was planning to show you the new lingerie that I bought yesterday."

Throwing his head back, Guang chuckled and helplessly shook his head. "You are purposely doing this aren't you?"

Pushing him away, she ran towards the mansion. "I love you Mr Lui, come back soon."

Helplessly shaking his head, Guang entered his car with a huge grin on his face. Life was so much better and beautiful now.

…..

Zian's room.

Taking off his blazer, Zian sighed, "I never thought brother Ben was actually going through something so messy and complicated."

"Hmm, it's shocking but I feel bad for sister Clara as well. If brother Ben has suffered then she has suffered too." Mian added.

"I agree with that." Sitting on the edge of the bed, Zian made her sit in his lap. "Do you have to go?"

Running her fingers through his hair, she nodded her head, "Hmmm, I might stay if you promise to behave."

"I swear I will behave, I just want to huh you to sleep. Damn, I missed you so much."

"What? We are together all the time these days."

"Hmm but I still miss you and it's not my fault."

Mian squealed when Zian pinned her down.

Smacking his shoulder, she chuckled, "You scared me."

Burying his face on her neck, he groaned, "You make me go crazy."

…..

Next morning.

The relaxed morning of the Li mansion turned gloomy when Philip Norway arrived at the mansion.

When the guards told everyone about his arrival, Singtan instructed them to let him in and asked Ben to stay calm.

When Philip entered the mansion, everyone was waiting for him in the living room.

Zian and Zixin welcomed him inside and offered him some refreshment which he politely turned down.

"What do you want?" Ben asked.

"Ben I am not here to fight or to create trouble okay. I am here to talk about Cara." Philip said.

Ben frowned and asked, "What about Clara?"

Pursing his lips, Philip took a deep breath and continued, "Clara is missing."
