Marcus sat by the bed, lost in thought. Finally, he pulled out his phone and dialed Axell. Bring Bertha here." Now?" Yes." ་ Whether she was Casper's mother or not, he needed answers. A paternity test would settle it.

If she was... Marcus's Adam's apple bobbed. f she wasn't... His frown deepened. Any woman bold enough to touch him would face consequences. xell received the order and raced to find Bertha, but she was nowhere to be found. He headed to the bar to investigate. The duty manager said that among the list of wine sales tonight, there was no one named Bertha. Axell then showed him Bertha's photo. The manager then nodded. Oh, her! She doesn't go by Bertha here. Look, she used a different name, Richie Estrada." Axell exchanged a stunned look with his men. Richie?

Did it mean Bertha wanted to get rich? Do you have her address?" Yeah, but it might not be real. Here it is." Axell scanned the registration list and sent men to verify. As expected, the address was fake. Axell rubbed his temples. He lost the clue again. Back at the hospital, he reported, "Marcus, Ms. Estrada has disappeared. "We searched everywhere. Even the Wallace family is looking for her. Galen woke up demanding the 'pretty lady,' so they're more desperate than us." "Did you check the bar?" Marcus asked, anger edging his voice. "I did. Ms.

Estrada used a fake name and address there." Axell handed him the registration list. "See, this is her signature." < Chapter 28 Marcus's brows lifted at her handwriting, elegant, almost familiar. Then his eyes snapped to the name. "Richie Estrada?" Axell bit back a laugh. "Ms. Estrada is clearly desperate to be rich." Marcus said nothing, jaw tightening."Keep searching." The next morning, Bertha woke before dawn, unaware of the surveillance. The first thing she did was call Beverly Hills to ask if Marcus had returned yet. When the answer was no, Bertha pressed her temples.

She sighed, "When on earth can I get a divorce?" Hopelessness washed over her. She saw nothing but a dead end. 'Alas." Bertha sighed and felt annoyed. It was still early, and she lay in bed scrolling through her phone, hoping to find out Marcus's whereabouts. Instead, she came across a missing person notice from the Wallace family. Unable to locate her, the Wallace family had posted the notice online. All major media and TV stations were broadcasting the information, as if afraid she wouldn't see it.
