"What?" Julian shot up from the sofa, his eyes turning crimson. "Yves Prescott! Where did he take my wife and my son? Tell me! There were so many bodyguards there, why did you let him take them?"

The driver broke out in a cold sweat. "Mr. Nicholson, no matter how many bodyguards there were… they couldn't stop Miss Winona… I mean, they couldn't stop your wife from leaving on her own. She wanted to go with him." Besides, he hadn't known what to do, which was why he had called immediately.

"Where did they go? Tell me now!" Julian demanded.

"I'm following them now. I don't know their destination yet, but I'll keep you updated," the driver said quickly.

"Don't lose them!"

"Yes, sir!"

After hanging up, the driver felt a sense of bewilderment. He had always known Mr. Nicholson had a wife for show, one he never spoke to and treated like she was invisible. How was it that now, on the verge of divorce, he had suddenly become so obsessed with her? Wasn't that just asking for more pain? But he wouldn't dare say that to Mr. Nicholson.

The driver followed Yves Prescott's car at a safe distance, making sure not to be seen. Finally, Yves's car pulled up in front of another five-star hotel. The driver watched as Winona and her family got out, entered the hotel, and checked in. Only then did he call Julian.

"Mr. Nicholson, they're staying at The Grand Venezia Hotel."

"I'm on my way," Julian said without hesitation.

The driver sighed. He was caught in a difficult position. If he didn't tell Mr. Nicholson, he would be disobeying a direct order. But telling him meant Mr. Nicholson would come rushing over, and the driver really wanted to ask, "Sir, are you sure you want to do this? Aren't you just setting yourself up for more heartbreak?" But he couldn't say that.

Meanwhile, back at the house, Sue watched as Mr. Nicholson frantically went upstairs, got Tiana, and prepared to leave. She had the same worries. She couldn't imagine what kind of painful scene would unfold when he and the little princess found her mother. But as a housekeeper, it wasn't her place to question her employer's decisions.

The saying "the spectator sees more of the game than the player" was certainly true.
