Before Be could speak, Emma’s curious and tense voice could be heard from the other end.

"Be, did you find your mother?"

"Yes, Aunty Emma, I found my mother…" Be immediately shared the good news but didn’t mention her mother’s illness.

"Thank GOD. I’m so happy to hear that, Be..." Emma shouted in happiness.

"Yes, me too." A smile graced her face before she continued, "Aunty, where are you now?"

"I am still at the house; I n to go to the airport in two hours. Why do you ask?"

Be was grateful that Aunty Emma had not yet left the house. She immediately told her aunty about her n to fly to East City and asked her to prepare to fly with her.

She would have someone pick her up a few minutes ahead and drive her to the private airport once Leo confirmed the jet she would use.

Emma was shocked to hear that. She thought Be would only visit East City in the next few days.

’Why did Be suddenly change her n?’

"Did something happen to your mother? Why do you suddenly want to fly there today?" Emma started to get suspicious; something must have happened to Natalie.

Be silently took a deep breath. She didn’t n to tell her over the phone. She still has so many things to do now.

"Aunty, I will tell youter when we meet," Be said before excusing herself to end the call. She needed to call Aunty Noora and her son, too.

After ending the call with Emma, Be nced at Leo. She saw him still busy making a call.

Be could only pray inwardly, hoping Leo would find a private jet for her as she couldn’t bear the thought of flying amercial flight. It would be time-consuming.

Averting her gaze from Leo, Be dialed Noora’s number.

The phone connected to the second ring. She immediately asked Noora to pack a few of her clothes and give them to Emma.

Noora was shocked to hear that.

Not only was Noora shocked, but Dax, sitting beside Noora, could also clearly hear his mother’s voice. He was shocked but remained silent and continued to listen to their conversation.

"Young Miss, you won’t being home tonight?" Noora asked.

"Yes, I will fly to East City this afternoon with Aunt Emma," Be responded casually, not wanting to worry Noora if she knew what really happened to her parents in East City.

"Is there a problem there? Why did you suddenly fly to the East!?" Noora didn’t remember Be ever talking about visiting East City, so she became suspicious; something terrible had happened there.

Be could only sigh softly. She did not answer Noora’s question but instead asked her to prepare clothes because she didn’t have much time.

Before Noora could ask further, Be told her to give her phone to Dax. She also needed to talk to her son.

"Mommy, I’m here. I...hear you will fly to the East?"

Be was taken aback to hear how fast Dax took the phone. "Are you with Aunty Noora now?"

"Yes, Mom. I’m about to take my nap..." Dax replied. "Mom, can I fly with you to the East?"

This was Be’s first time doing it—flying to another city without her son—and her heart ached to hear his words.

She wasn’t opposed to bringing her son to East City. Still, she was concerned that her issues there could cause trouble, especially as she was dealing with her shameless uncles and father.

Be also needed enough time to talk to her mother before allowing Dax to meet his grandma from her side. She must ensure his mother would not do or say unimaginable things before Dax.

"Baby, I’m sorry, I can’t take you right now because this is a short trip. I promise you, I’ll be back tomorrow morning—" Be paused when she heard Dax take a deep and profound sigh, a signal of his disappointment.

Be felt like someone was squeezing a lemon over her wounded heart. She almost wavered about bringing Dax along but suddenly remembered Tristan.

"Baby, your father will apany you tonight. Well, you can sleep together with him again..."

"Oh, Dad isn’t going with you, Mom?"

"Yes, of course not. And I won’t let hime even if he wants to. Because I want your daddy to stay with you, and I will return tomorrow before you know it, baby..." Be felt slightly relieved when she heard Dax’s voice sound somewhat cheerful.

"OK, Mom. But you must promise me you will return home tomorrow. Or I will tell Daddy to fly me there too..."

"Hahaha, of course, Baby."

Be immediately ended the call when she saw Leo approaching her. She didn’t rush to ask but waited for him to speak.

...

Leo sat in front of Be with his eyebrow slightly raised. He was still confused about why Be suddenly wanted to fly to East City.

As far as he could remember, they had no projects in that city other than Be’s n to acquire the Donovan Group. He didn’t know much about Be’s n with Donovan Group because he wasn’t involved.

In the past few weeks, he has been too busy handling matters surrounding Ster Entertainment and Celebes Energy in Nova City to know what is happening in East City.

"Did you get the jet or not?" Be asked impatiently when she saw Leo not saying anything, only staring at her.

Leo nodded slowly, "Boss, your jet will be ready an hour from now. How many people will fly there? I need to inform the crew to prepare..."

Be didn’t rush to answer him but raised her thumb topliment Leo. She was impressed with him.

"I’m d to have you work beside me, Leo." She smiles before continuing, "I will fly there with my aunt, Bryan, and some of my bodyguards."

"OK. I will let them know you’reing..." Leo stood again from his seat, but before returning to his desk, he narrowed his eyes at Be, "If I may ask, why did you suddenly fly to the East?" he asked curiously.

"It’s a…family matter!" Be took a deep breath and told him what happened to her mother. She also told him about her mother’s illness. This is the biggest reason why she had to fly there immediately.

Leo was utterly shocked as he listened to that. He no longer asked anything but made a call.
