Chapter 21
Rebecca and Frank followed a butler in tails into the elegant castle.
Rebecca greeted with a bright smile. “Uncle Randy Anderson.”
Randy beamed at the graceful woman before him. “Rebecca, I thought I’d never see you again after your father and Elijah…”
Years ago, Rebecca’s father had saved Randy from mafia assassins during a business trip to England. Randy had since regarded him as an elder brother, sending annual gifts to the White family from abroad.
Now Randy commanded such fear that even England’s underworld trembled at his name-precisely why Rebecca had come straight here after recovering.
Frank stood silently nearby, scanning the dining table’s offerings. Satisfied nothing would harm her health, he with- drew his gaze, becoming a shadow.
Mention of her father and brother dimmed Rebecca’s eyes, but she knew there was no time to dwell on the past. She spoke plainly. “Uncle Randy, I need your help.”
Randy’s expression froze, hardening into severity.
“Everyone out.”
The Walker family had known the Whites for years, yet never once had the Whites asked for help. Now, Rebecca had traveled thousands of miles to a foreign land seeking Vincent’s aid-this matter was surely anything but simple.
The butler and servants scattered instantly.
Once alone, Rebecca detailed the White family’s current situation, voicing her suspicions about the deaths of her brother and parents.
Throughout her account, she unconsciously downplayed Vincent’s involvement in the White family affairs.
Beside her, Frank cast a thoughtful glance her way, a pang of bitter sorrow welling inside him.
Yet he remained silent, merely lowering his eyes to conceal that inexplicable turmoil.
Randy’s gaze turned icy as he spoke through gritted teeth, “How dare anyone harm Elijah and Angela? Russell ‘White’s rise to power reeks of conspiracy-your brother was likely framed?”
Rebecca swallowed her grief, locking eyes with Randy. “Uncle Randy, please help locate the Swiss watchmaker who crafted custom timepieces for our family. Elijah never parted with his watch, yet removed it that fateful day. After his death, the craftsman vanished without a trace.”

The watch contained GPS tracking. Rebecca had already sought experts to decode its data.
But the specialist they called said the watch was custom-made with special craftsmanship. If forcibly removed, it might self-destruct.
Ultimately, Rebecca still couldn’t believe Vincent deliberately framed her eldest brother.
Back then, Michael’s accident had shocked her into acting without thinking. But later, she wondered-how did Susan know every detail so clearly?
Holding this sliver of doubt, she couldn’t help asking Randy for help.
Randy agreed without hesitation. With his current influence, the manpower he could mobilize was far more reliable than just Rebecca and Frank.
