All Too Late Chapter 409

Vanished Into Thin Air

"Go to Theodore if you don’t believe me!"

Lauren said angrily, "He was the one who made me do it.It’s pointless for you to ask me!"

"Theodore?" Vanessa sneered.

"No one knows where he went.How am I to ask him?"

"How can you not know where he went?"

Lauren remarked sarcastically, "Weren’t you guys working very well together before?"

From her reply, Vanessa found a hint.

"It’s you who was behind Theodore’s incident, isn’t it?" Lauren smiled creepily.

"You just found out? How else did the whole organization come into my hands?"

Hearing that, Vanessa gritted her teeth.

"As I thought.You’re heartless and ambitious.You’ve wanted to do this for a long time, right?"

Lauren did not respond and simply stared at her.

From her reaction, Vanessa understood it all. Lauren had no good intentions from the start.The female
love bug in Yareli’s body could be fake!

"What the hell did you do to my daughter?" Vanessa rushed over, intending to grab Lauren’s hair.



There was no way Lauren would allow Vanessa to hit her, so when the latter rushed over, she had
already pulled out a dagger and aimed it at her stomach.

Vanessa wanted to avoid it, but Lauren grabbed her shoulder and viciously drove the dagger into the
former’s stomach with all her might.

"Ugh!" Vanessa’s face twisted in pain.

Lauren sneered.

"You lot should be dead long ago for hogging what belongs to us in the first place! You’re just as
abominable as Theodore!"

With that, she pulled out the dagger and drove it in again.Arms flailing in the air, Vanessa managed to
grab a vase next to her.

Bang!

With all her strength, she smashed the vase onto Lauren’s head.The latter was caught off guard and
immediately fainted.

Vanessa could not care less about anything else.She clutched her injured abdomen, turned around,
and staggered outside.

There was only one thought in her mind at that moment.I want to live.I must survive.

Yareli is still waiting for me to save her.

By the time Vanessa escaped from Lauren’s residence and ran out of the gate, she had run out of
strength.She looked around, hoping to see someone who could save her.



Just then, a white BMW drove over.She immediately stretched out her hand, and the car stopped in
front of her.

Clarissa got out of the car.She had never met Vanessa, so the two did not know one another.She had
only ever met Yareli.

However, due to her strong impression of the latter, she was reminded of something the moment she
saw Vanessa.

"Save me…" Vanessa crawled to Clarissa’s feet.

"I can give you money.I can give you anything as long as you can save me."

After saying that, she passed out.Clarissa crouched down and found out Vanessa was still alive after
checking her breath.

"Do you think I lack money when I’m driving this kind of car?" she remarked flatly, mumbling to herself.

As the esteemed member of Blissful Sect, she was never short of money.

"Oh, whatever! You may be of no use to me, but perhaps you are for someone else."

Clarissa narrowed her eyes for a moment before getting Vanessa into the car.She sent the letter to a
hospital that she felt was more reliable for emergency treatment.

The medical service there was quite good, so the doctors managed to save Vanessa.

After confirming that the latter’s condition was all right, Clarissa went to look for Charles.She sat in the
car and called him.

"Where are you, Charles?"



"Your house," he replied in a low voice.

"My house?" Clarissa frowned.

"Are my dad and brother causing you trouble again? Wait for me.I’ll go back now."

With that, she ended the call.

Charles did not even get the chance to speak.He solemnly placed his phone down and looked at
Wilbur sitting across from him.

The latter had just returned from abroad, and beside him sat his newly-wed wife, Adina.

Adina was beautiful, with dark hair, deep eyes, a sharp nose, and alluring lips.She was a royal princess
and was said to also be a strong contender for the next royal heir.

Wilbur had obeyed Raymond’s arrangement to marry Adina to consolidate his position.

Since Adina also needed the help of the Blissful Sect, they mutually benefited from the marriage.

As for how much love there was, Charles did not know, and neither did he care about it.

"I heard that your sister is still alive," Wilbur said with a half-smile.

"You’re not very well-informed." Charles’ tone was cold.

Wilbur smiled meaningfully.

"I meant the explosion." Charles kept quiet.

Wilbur is really much better informed with Adina’s help.

"Don’t worry.There’s nothing between your sister and me now."



Wilbur wrapped his arm around Adina’s shoulder and bragged, "I’m now better than Wyatt."

Charles remained silent.I’ve not heard from Wyatt for a long time.I wonder where he went.

Before the words left his mouth, Raymond came down from the second floor.The three of them stood
up.

"Sit, everyone." Raymond looked tired.

"What’s wrong, Father?" Wilbur asked curiously.

Raymond let out a sigh as he sat on the couch.

"What else but Wyatt? I don’t know where he is now.He seemed to have vanished into thin air."

Vanished into thin air? Wilbur narrowed his eyes.

"He won’t die, anyway." Raymond’s expression was cold.

"Charles, get your men to investigate within the country to see if he has returned."

Charles remained calm.Raymond mentioned using my men.It seems like he’s also testing me besides
asking me to look for Wyatt.

"Okay."

Charles nodded graciously.

Hearing that, Raymond said solemnly, "Thank you.If there is any news, notify me immediately."

"Will do." Charles nodded in response.



Just then, Clarissa came into the living room from outside.

"Dad, Wilbur, are you two giving Charles a hard time again?" Raymond frowned.

"What on earth are you talking about?"

"Have you ever seen us bullying him, Clarissa?"

Wilbur asked thoughtfully, "What’s the matter? Are you afraid that he’ll suffer at our hands?"

Adina grinned.

"Do you like Charles, Clarissa?"

"No!"

Clarissa’s face instantly turned red.She looked at Charles, who was on the side, with a flustered
expression.

The latter looked back calmly.

"I’m fine."

Only then did Clarissa let out a sigh of relief.

"Glad to hear that."

Raymond furrowed his brows.

"We merely asked Charles to look for Wyatt.Your brother is missing, and you’re not even anxious?"

"He’s a living person.How can I control where he wishes to go with his own two legs?"



Clarissa continued coldly, "Besides, isn’t it clear to everyone why he doesn’t want to return to this
house?"

If I had the means, I wouldn’t come back either.

Hearing that, Raymond frowned.Clarissa blinked before adding, "Dad, since you say I don’t care
enough about Wyatt, how about I follow Charles to Jadeborough and help look for him?"
