It was a while before Lucas Walker lifted his face from her embrace.
The private plane touched down at the small airport at the back of the manor. As they both walked toward the plane, the old butler was already waiting at the foot of the boarding stairs.
"How is it?" Lucas Walker asked immediately.
"The Duchess disappeared while she was returning from a meeting. We found her car in the sandy ground by the sea. Apart from that... there are no clues, and both the assistant and bodyguard who were guarding her are dead." The old butler frowned, his face full of concern, "Not a single clue..."
"That can't be. There must be a clue." Ivana Bennett leaned on Lucas Walker's arm, "Shall we go see the car?"
Lucas Walker nodded.
The old butler hurried away to prepare the car.
Thus, immediately after they alighted from the plane, they drove straight to the seaside.
Sure enough, they spotted the Duchess's car in the wet sand.
