<strong>Chapter 430:</strong>


    Maybe Wade loved someone else, but his family disapproved, requiring him to first marry someone suitable.


    Even if she was merely a ceholder or a tool, she hoped her role in his life held some significance.


    However, Wade simply said, “No.”


    After his departure, she began to examine the documents she had signed.


    The first document she picked up was an adoption application.


    The second document was apany legal representative transfer agreement.


    This only deepened her confusion.


    Now, with her bank ount full of money but isted in the vast expanse of GreenHill Manor, she felt lost, like a speck of dust, unsure of her next move. After the initial shock, she began toe to terms with her situation.


    Wasn’t this essentially living on her own? Although Wade might have been deceptive, the substantial funds in her ount were very real. She invited her family to move into GreenHill Manor, and her days quickly filled with shopping sprees.


    At first, it was just a few clothing items, then jewelry, followed by high-end cosmetics. Eventually, she began purchasing gold, and someone suggested she invest in real estate.


    Soon after, the police arrived.


    They were there because Wade’spany had encountered legal issues, and as the listed legal representative, she was their first point of contact.


    “Where is Wade Potter?”


    “I don’t know,” she replied, panic rising in her chest.


    “Do you know what’s happening in the basement at GreenHill Manor?”


    The police searched the basement, a ce that had always been locked. There, they discovered various equipment used for drawing blood and a body that had been drained of blood.


    She trembled with fear. “I truly don’t know!”


    The police had been questioning everyone Wade hade into contact with before his disappearance.


    Today, it was Joelle’s turn. She arrived at work, only to find two inclothes officers waiting for her.


    Joelle was taken aback by the unexpected visit. “I haven’t spoken to Wade since my son’s ident. I have no idea where he is.”


    The officers exchanged looks, and one continued, “We understand your son had Rh-negative blood. Is that correct?”


    “Yes.”


    “Wade Potter had been kidnapping people with Rh-negative blood for years.”


    Joelle’s blood ran cold. “You’re saying he kidnapped them to harvest their blood?”


    She suddenly recalled what had happened with Liza. During that terrifying time in Illerith, rumors of disappearances had gripped the city. But after Wade emerged in the public eye, those rumors seemed to fade. Could there be a connection? But why? Why would Wade do this?
