Do You Love Me?

Liam's words instantly sparked Ava's curiosity.

She recalled how her grandmother had once mentioned that the thief might have been instigated by someone. At the time, her grandmother had given Sophia a meaningful look.

Ava glanced down at her bandaged left hand, eager to know if her injury had anything to do with Sophia.

After a brief silence, she heard Liam let out a faint hum. Snapping out of her thoughts, she picked up the first aid kit and walked toward him.

"Did you catch the thief?"

Liam slid his phone into his pocket, turned to her, and said, "She's missing."

Ava frowned. "Missing?"

"The search team combed through her place and checked with her relatives—no trace of her. Her family has reported it to the police. We can only wait."

Ava's eyes sharpened. "What a coincidence. The moment your people started looking for her, she vanished."
