Chapter 2183
Asher squeezed Justin's shoulder reassuringly. "The Presidential House and the Royal Palace are the safest places in Sentania. Bella's with Camilla. If anything had happened to her, Camilla would've called by now. Try not to worry too much."
Despite his reassuring words, it weighed heavily on him. As Bella's eldest brother, the dull ache in Asher's heart only grew stronger.
Upon hearing this, Ralph quickly dialed their sister's number.
Moments later, his eyes widened in alarm. "Something's off-Camilla is not answering!"
The three men's expressions immediately darkened.
Justin and the others rushed back to the Presidential House as fast as they could.
The moment they entered the courtyard, they noticed something was wrong. The security guards who normally stood watch at the doors were nowhere to be seen.
"Camilla!"
"Bella!"
They called out as they ran into the living room, but the scene that greeted them left the three men stunned.
Camilla was curled up on the sofa, her face buried in her hands. Her thin shoulders trembled as if she were crying.
"Camilla!" Justin's heart clenched painfully. He rushed to her side in a flash. "What happened? Where's Bella?!"
Camilla's body quivered. Slowly, she raised her tear-streaked face from her hands. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was deathly pale from crying. "Bella... She..."
"What happened to Bella? Tell me!" Justin's heart pounded heavily, his voice hoarse with panic. His emotions were on edge.
He had always been like a mountain, unshakable and enduring. In the most dangerous moments, he often remained more composed than the average person.
But that was only true if Bella was
not in danger. If it involved Bella, even the slightest hint of trouble would turn him into a raging storm-a force that could tear the earth and shatter the skies.
"Justin! Don't do this. Stay calm!" Asher, despite being worried, stepped forward and grasped Justin's trembling shoulders. "The most important thing right now is to figure out what happened and where Bella went!" Ralph's face turned pale in panic, and his voice quivered, "Camilla! Stop crying and tell us. Where's Bella?!"
Just then, the sound of rushing footsteps reached their ears.
"Camilla!" Edward burst in, his

happen? How is that possible?!" Read
Finally, with tears streaming down her face, Camilla looked up at the men who were on the verge of losing control.
"Justin... I'm sorry... I didn't protect Bella... She left the house on herm own... I've already activated the Sky Eye system to track her, but so far, there's still no sign of her.
"She left the house?!" Edward and the Thompson brothers were shocked!
Justin felt his heart sink, the world spinning around him. The old injury on his head throbbed with intense En.
pain, and he nearly lost his balance.
