Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks
My Billionaire Family 123

Chapter 123

On the outskirts near Astonburg, there was a heavily guarded chemical plant in Betrico.

Inside the luxurious office on the top floor of the chemical plant, a dynamic middle-aged man was standing in front of a giant screen, playing indoor simulated golf. Someone knocked on the door, and two bodyguards in black suits entered.

The leading bodyguard walked up behind the middle-aged man, looked down, and said emotionlessly, "Boss, he's missing!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man stopped what he was doing, turned around, and showed a gloomy look.

The next moment, he swung the golf club hard at the bodyguard in the black suit, who immediately fell to the ground, unable to move.

"So many of you couldn't even manage a helpless person lying in bed! Am I paying you to just stand around?" the middle-aged man shouted angrily.

The bodyguard who had just been standing at the back looked down and answered cautiously, "Boss, someone took him

away.

"The bodyguards at the door said they were frozen by two strangers, completely unable to move.

"Those two were wearing masks and knew some kind of hypnotic trick. Our men were no match for them.

"By the time our team reassembled and pursued them, we realized they were not only adept at hypnosis, but also possessed superb shooting abilities. In under two seconds, all four of our vehicles had collided and were completely wrecked." The middle-aged man pinched the bridge of his nose and asked, "Did you check the license plate?"

The bodyguard replied, "We did, but there's no information at all about that car. It's like someone is deliberately protecting

it."

The middle-aged man fumed and said, "How dare someone snatch him from me without even asking! Spread the word, search everywhere. We have to replace Roy!

"And when you replace those two, just kill them!"

The bodyguard nodded and replied, "Yes, we'll give it our all!"

With that, he dragged the unconscious bodyguard out of the office.

The middle-aged man, looking dissatisfied, walked over to his desk and picked up a cigar.

He lit it, took a couple of deep drags, and exhaled a cloud of smoke.

After another two puffs, the man picked up the phone on the desk and dialed a number

When the call connected, a playful woman's voice came through, "Hey, Felix, what's up? I'm at the spa now!"

The middle-aged man's expression softened at her voice, a far cry from the fierce look just moments ago. He said, "Mandy, Roy is missing."

Mandy was shocked. The middle-aged man was Felix Lewis, the head of the Lewis family in Betrico.

Decades ago, the Lewis Group was primarily involved in real estate. However, in the past ten years, it had expanded into healthcare and the chemical industries. As a result, its business empire had now outstripped many prominent families in 1/2

Rumor had it that Felix was involved in both legal and illegal businesses. Over the years, all the companies and individuals who accused him of chemical plant pollution had mysteriously folded.

"What? How could he be missing?" Mandy, in the midst of her anti-aging treatment, suddenly panicked.

Ignoring the beauty therapist working on her face, Mandy pushed her away and sat up, revealing a face covered with grid marks and red spots.

Looking hurried yet trying to lower her voice, Mandy said, "Felix, didn't you have people watching him? What if he comes looking for me? What about me and Shirley?"

Felix said, "Why are you so nervous? I've got everything under control. Besides, he's been injected with enough sedatives that he won't wake up anytime soon. Even if something miraculous happens, it would still take a while for him to wake up.

"I'll replace him before then, so just relax and enjoy your carefree-life! Plus, Shirley's engagement is coming up soon, and you'll be Jeffrey's mother-in-law. Many people will envy you."

Felix patiently comforted Mandy. They were both illegitimate children of the former head of the Lewis family, and before joining the Lewis family, they relied on each other at the orphanage.

When Felix was 15 and Mandy was 12, the former head of the Lewis family found them and brought them back to the family.

When Felix turned 30, his father suddenly passed away. He managed to outmaneuver Adam Lewis, the acknowledged son and presumptive heir, to assume leadership of the Lewis family. This caused quite a stir in Betrico at the time. How could an illegitimate son beat a legitimate heir for the inheritance? The high society couldn't stop gossiping.

But soon, Felix's capabilities led the Lewis family to rise higher and higher, and people gradually forgot his past.

Over the years, Felix had been like a doting brother to his only sister, Mandy, giving her everything she wanted without hesitation, including money, status, and partners.

Hearing Felix's reassurance, Mandy felt at ease and went back to her spa chair, signaling the beauty therapist to continue her work.
