Chapter 1226 

Skylar and Natalie quickly left the mall and found a nearby restaurant for a quick meal. Before they could finish eating, Skylar received a phone call from Jeremy, urging her to come to the Hughes Group. 

He mentioned that he couldn’t explain everything over the phone and that they would need to meet in person to discuss the details. 

After finishing their meal, Natalie accompanied her to the Hughes Group. 

Natalie had visited the Hughes Group before to see Jeremy, but much had changed since then. The receptionist at the front desk was now someone new. 

Skylar introduced herself, and the receptionist promptly led them to the elevator, taking them directly to Jeremy’s office. 

When they entered, Jeremy looked surprised to see Natalie. It had been half a year since they last saw each other, their last encounter being a chance meeting at a restaurant. 

“When you called Skylar, we were having dinner, so we decided to come together. If it’s inconvenient for me to be here, I can wait in the lounge.” 

Seeing Jeremy glance her way, Natalie assumed he had something he didn’t want to discuss in front of her. As she spoke, she turned and walked toward the office door to give them some 

privacy. 

Jeremy averted his gaze and said calmly, “No need to go to the lounge. There’s nothing you shouldn’t know.” 

Although the conversation ahead was important, he believed Natalie would keep it 

confidential. 

Natalie hesitated for a moment before replying, “I think I’ll wait in the lounge anyway. It gives me a chance to play on my phone.” 

After Natalie left the room, Jeremy frowned and turned his attention to Skylar. “I called you 

here to show you this.” 

Skylar stepped closer to Jeremy’s desk. 

Skylar watched as Jeremy operated his computer and opened his email. There it was, a message from an unknown sender. Attached was a photo–a single, haunting image. 

The photo clearly showed a person whose hands were cuffed, restricting his movement. 

At first glance, it was impossible to recognize him. His face bore several deep scars that were shocking to behold. But upon closer inspection, Skylar realized they knew this person. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the image. 

“This…“, she stammered. 

Jeremy wasn’t surprised by her shock. He replied in a low voice, “I was taken aback when I first saw this photo as well. This is my personal email, which I check occasionally. I don’t usually open emails from unknown senders, but today I happened to open it. 

“At first, I thought it was a prank, but I quickly realized that the person in the photo was Paul! 

“Can we trace the sender’s location? Also, has Paul ever taken similar photos before?” Skylar asked, her voice trembling with urgency.
