“Aurora, why do you think that way? It’s not like that! It is a good thing for us that she has become the eldest in the Giordano family. As long as she is the one who takes off, we will be their benefactors. We, too, can benefit from it and we can make a life of kings!”
“No.” Aurora took a step back, covered her ears, “Don’t you understand anything? You have never given me any money! Even though you gave me my sister’s money last time, it wasn’t enough! Mother, I really don’t want to live this life. Do you know how rich my classmates are? How powerful their parents are? I… I also want to be like them, but… But why Serena? Why can she be different from me? Of course… I am better than her. ”
Said Aurora shouting as if she could not bear this irritation, then turned and ran outside.
“Aurora?”
Julia wanted to stop her but Aurora, being a girl after all, ran outside and no one saw her again.
She let it go, she was her daughter and at that moment she was not feeling well. She was going to wait until she calmed down to talk about this.
Thinking that her gambling debts could be repaid and her own family could achieve success, deep in her heart Julia was very happy.

On the other hand, Serena was in dire straits.
After Anna called Leonardo, he reached the place she had predetermined.
“Is anyone here?” asked Leonardo solemnly.
Anna was so anxious that she was about to cry. “I looked everywhere and did not see his figure. She was still under my nose when I called her, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye although I looked for her. She didn’t… I don’t know where she went… I’m sorry, I blamed myself for not taking care of her. If something happens to her, surely… I won’t forgive myself.”
Leonardo cast a glance at Anna and saw that her eyes were red with anxiety and tears were about to fall. She must also have been extremely nervous and he felt he did not blame her. He only whispered, “Calm down, don’t rush now. The most important thing is that we have to find her first. You are as good as she is, so calm down and think, where could she have gone?”
“Where could she have gone?”
This question really worried Anna: although she had a good relationship with Serena, the two of them had not known each other for a long time and she could not say that she knew Serena personally.
If she had talked about where she would be, Anna really wouldn’t have known what to answer.
The one who really knew her was Alice.
Although Alice was not a good person after all, she had pretended to be one in front of Serena for many years, and she should have known some things about her.
Asking her at that time was the best way.
However, after the two of them had quarreled and became rivals in love, it was not appropriate to go to Alice again: he feared Alice might take advantage of him, but what would happen to Serena in a dangerous situation?
Seeing her frowning, Leonardo guessed that she might not have thought of something, thought about it for a moment, and then said softly, “If you didn’t expect it, don’t worry, I sent someone, they will look around here, and report back to me as soon as there is news.”
Anna looked at Leonardo with emotion, “Vice President Ferrari, thank you. Luckily he is here, otherwise I wouldn’t know what to do.”
“Let’s look around first and leave no corner uncovered.”
“Good.”
After the two talked about it, they parted. Anna felt that Leonardo’s words were reasonable. She did not pay much attention to the corner where she was looking for him earlier. If she had paid attention this time, would she have found Serena?
This thought rekindled her hope and she followed his path to find Serena.
After Leonardo took a few steps, the phone suddenly rang and he picked it up, “Well?”
Cloe: “Vice President, I followed your instructions and looked around here, but I think you should come here to check and monitor if possible.”
Hearing this, Leonardo frowned slightly, “She disappeared just over an hour ago. It is not practical to check everything. Also, some small corners are blind spots and it is estimated that monitoring will not be able to capture everything. You can send more staff so they can look for more in the corners around here. Of course, don’t forget to ask the past and the shopkeepers and report back to me as soon as there is any news.”
Cloe: “I understand.”
After hanging up the phone, Leonardo looked around, feeling a little moved.
“Serena, you must not be in trouble.”
He did not know how long he had been looking, Leonardo did not see Serena, and the phone had not rung. Leonardo was calm at first, but after a while he became agitated.
Where had Serena gone?
Leonardo stopped, pulled out his cell phone, and could not help but call Anna to ask about the situation.
Although he knew that if Anna found someone, she would definitely call him to inform him, but he had the illusion that he might find someone, but there was no time to call.
Anna was very excited when she received Leonardo’s call, “Vice President, did you find Serena?”
After hearing this, Leonardo knew that Anna had also found nothing.
“You didn’t find her either?” Anna heard him say nothing, and realized that he had not found Serena and almost shouted quickly, “What should I do? After so many people are looking for her, there is still no news? Where could she have gone? Vice President Ferrari… Blame me for not finding her.”
It was the first time Anna was out of control. Leonardo was initially upset. When she was so upset, he did not know what to say to console her. He could not find Serena, and he was very anxious.
Leonardo looked around, tightened his thin lips and finally said, “Don’t worry, I will find her, I will find her.”
After speaking, he hung up the phone.
Afterwards, Leonardo kept going and asked a woman from a nearby house.
“Excuse me, have you seen a girl… “Leonardo briefly described what Anna had told him about the clothes she was wearing that day, and then added somatic features.
After listening, the woman blinked with a silly look. Leonardo sighed in his heart. When he thought he could not ask again, he suddenly said, “Oh, you’re looking for that girl in the white dress! I just saw her! ”
Hearing this, Leonardo’s expression changed, “Have you seen her? Where is she?
I saw her… She got into the car, that car was so beautiful! ”
“In a car?” Leonardo frowned, and still a beautiful car? It seemed that it was not supposed to be a cab, so what car could she have gotten into?
Thinking about this, Leonardo’s complexion changed.
