Kieran watched from a distance, taking out his phone to snap a photo of Lila and Amelia.
It was chilly outside, so they didn't stay long. With Amelia driving, the duo and the cat left shortly after.
Through the rearview mirror, Lila noticed the black Maybach also begin to move once their car had driven a short distance.
Discussions about the Hart family and the Morgan family were heating up online, with related entries trending on various platforms. Despite this, James remained uncaptured.
Lila had seen the debates online. Susers criticized the Morgan family, while others mocked her situation. It was heaven on one side, hell on the other.

Her relationship with the Morgan family was too complicated to be summed up in a few posts. She herself wasn't sure what was the right thing to do, so how could outsiders possibly have the answers? Five days passed in the blink of an eye. Other than being summoned to the police station once during this time, Lila spent her days at home.
She knew the search for James would take time. The Morgan family must have also utilized their connections to locate him.
So, this was what Kieran had meant when he told her to wait a week-he wanted to give her the truth, even though he knew it would greatly impact the Morgan family.
But Lila didn't want to dwell on it too much. She forced herself to stay busy, so that these events wouldn't consher.
She stayed put at home, either helping Jamie and Teddy pick scripts or watching s while playing with Nova. The tiny calico kitten was incredibly clingy, often curling up in her arms to nap, providing a source of comfort for Lila.
As the holiday season ended, filming and variety shows resumed. Various companies resumed operation and carried out many events. Ethan was drowning in work.
Upon hearing this, Lila volunteered to take over one of his responsibilities. She packed up and headed to the company the next day.
In the office, Matthew stood up from the couch when Lila entered.
"Ms. Hart," he greeted warmly.
Lila nodded. "Do we have everything we need?" Seeing him nod, she added, "Let's head out then." The company had arranged for Matthew to participate in a farming program variety show. Since Ethan was unavailable, Lila accompanied him to the shoot.
On the way there, Lila flipped through the script. "It might be a bit tough, but it seems interesting." During this season in the north, aside from greenhouse crops, only wheat and rapeseed grew normally. Matthew nodded in agreement.

Upon arriving at the village entrance, they walked in with their luggage while a staff member gave them a brief introduction.
"This is a farming assistance program where you'll be working with the local farmers. Not only will you grow your own fruits and vegetables, but you'll also be selling them. You will also help the farmers self their produce." Lila nodded and asked about the rules. "Are there restrictions on how we sell? Can we use live streaming?" "You can, but you'll need to set up a new account for it. You can't use existing resources." Lila nodded, then followed the staff deeper into the village.
At the top floor of Morgan Group Headquarters, Cole reported, "Cedric mentioned that Madam volunteered to bring Matthew to the variety show. They've already arrived at the location." Kieran paused for a moment, his pen in his hand halting. His eyes were lowered, making his expression unreadable.
"Look into Matthew's background," he instructed. "Send security to watch over her and try not to let outsiders know that she's there." He couldn't rule out the possibility that James, feeling cornered, might lash out and target Lila.
Cole nodded but hesitated briefly before saying, "Mr. Morgan, I think it's necessary for you to talk to Madam about this matter. You weren't aware of what happened back then. If the Morgan family hadn't suppressed.t suppressed the case at that time, who knows how many more lives might have been affected? "Madam will understand. If this causes friction between the two of you, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
Back then, when the Morgan family received the news, Jasmine had rushed to the scene immediately. But by the tshe arrived, Henry and his wife were already gone.
