"Tell her to come inside and join us." Justin's stoic expression softened slightly.

Shortly after that, Camilia managed to persuade Yvonne to enter the room. The latter entered with her head lowered. "Thank you, Mr. Salvador." Yvonne bowed, expressing her gratitude.

She had not managed to properly thank Justin ever since she was rescued, nor could she ever replace a chance to do so.

"No need." A solemn look appeared in Justin's eyes. "I didn't do much. It was Drew who saved you."

"I have lived in Sentania for a long time with Christopher, so I'm familiar with this country to a certain degree. I hope I can be of help in this search." Yvonne was sincere.

Justin was taken aback by the thought. It had just occurred to him that Yvonne was once under Christopher and that there was nobody who knew him better than she did. It would be ideal to have her on his side!

Yvonne stood by the table and observed the various red crosses on the map. She shook her head and remarked, “There's no use searching blindly like this. You should start by searching the private islands in the region that are not registered or purchased by anyone yet.

"Most of these islands you marked are owned by the state and have plenty of residents inhabiting the island, which doesn't make it an ideal hiding place. The police can easily access these places as well. I wouldn't hide there if I was Christopher.”

Justin frowned. "So, you're saying that he must be on the unregistered islands?"

"Yes. I think aside from the unregistered and unnamed islands, you should look at the private islands as well. It is very likely that Christopher would have bought them using an alias or fake identity. A lot of those islands are very tucked away and don't have many visitors. Since they are private property, the Sentania government has no regulations over them either.”

Justin's eyes brightened. He was impressed by Yvonne's analysis.

"I will have someone work on compiling a list of the islands purchased by private buyers!" Camilia perked up and immediately sprang to the task. Justin was anxious. "How long will it take?"

"Even if they have been privatized after the purchase, there must still be a transaction record and an associated registration. I will contact the related authorities and have them sort it out before sending it to you. It won't take long!"

...

Two hours later, the members of the Thompson family returned one after another.

Everyone gathered in the study and looked at the pile of documents with the buyer's information as well as the island registration forms aeross the table. They were confused by the display.

Drew wrapped his arms tightly around Yvonne's shoulders with a deep look in his eyes. "Investigating all of these buyers will take a lot of time and effort! We can't make Bella wait any longer!"

Justin was a very perceptive man. Though his memory was not as good as Bella's, it was still easily above average.

He scanned the pile of documents on the table and was intently focused on the task.

Suddenly, his gaze stopped short on something. Rose Island.

That specific island caught his eye.

"Rose Island..."

Justin picked up the file with trembling fingers and clenched it tightly. All the while, he was mumbling incoherently to himself.

Everyone else exchanged confused looks with each other.

"The private nursing home where Christopher's mother stayed was also named Rose, wasn't it?!" Justin suddenly asked.

Yvonne instantly connected the dots

and nodded, "Yes, Christopher is

very fond of roses and always compare's Miss Thompson to a rose as well. This is why all of his properties in Sentania, including the clubs, villas, and even nursing home, have roses in them."

It was always the subtle things that gave one away.

Justin had an eureka moment. His instincts were telling him that this was it!

"We're going to Rose Island!"

Asher was baffled. "When are we going?"

"Now!"
