Chapter 285: Tracking Her Down

Bill couldn't help but praise her. “I never would’ve guessed, but Ben, this young man, really has things figured out. If the two of them end up together, I’ll be at peace.”

“And with Ben as the Alpha of the Midnight Pack and Layz as the Alpha of the Shadow Pack, the two of them together will only make both packs stronger,” Dorothy added, clearly impressed with Benjamin.

“But Ben also said they’re just getting engaged for now, and they’ll take their time with the wedding, which is perfectly fine.”

The two of them exchanged a smile.

Hayley’s POV:

I was a bit annoyed that my grandparents had gone on a trip without telling me. Initially, I had been hoping they would come back to the Shadow Pack, but now it seemed like I’d have to wait a bit longer before returning.

Still, I didn’t dwell on it too much. With my time off, I decided to start looking for Christine. It was strange, though. All the evidence pointed to Christine having returned home, but after all this time, she hadn’t come back or even contacted her family.

I thought about it for a moment, then opened my computer. “Thomas, has the SkyEye system bug been fixed yet?” I sent him a message.

A short while later, I received his reply: “It’s been fixed, Alpha. Do you need to use it?”

I responded with a simple yes, then added, “I want to find someone. Let’s see if SkyEye can help us track her down quickly.”

Thomas, eager to help, asked, “Alpha, who are you looking for? Just send me the details, and SkyEye will find them within a day.”

I sent over Christine’s information. “Let me know as soon as you get any news.”

Thomas sent a quick OK and immediately began searching for Christine using the system. I took a deep breath, hoping we’d find her soon. And I thought that with SkyEye, it should only take a short time to locate Christine.

But three days later, there was still nothing. It was as if she had vanished without a trace.

“Alpha, do you think someone is intentionally hiding her whereabouts?”

I sank into deep thought. Who could have such power to block all traces of her?

As I was lost in thought, there was a knock at the door. I snapped back to reality, thinking it was Lista, and…

But there was no reply, and I was a little surprised. I stood up and went to open the door. When I did, I froze.

“Grandpa, Grandma, what are you doing here?” I asked, my voice filled with excitement.

Grandma opened her arms wide. “My Hayz, let me see you’ve been doing well.”

I was shocked. “Grandma, didn’t you two go on a trip? Why are you back so suddenly?”

Grandma didn’t answer but gave Grandpa a look. He casually said, “We got tired of traveling, so we came back.”

Looking at him, I raised an eyebrow. “Really?”

Grandma nodded, and I decided not to press the issue further. I was just so happy to see them. “Grandma, I’ve missed you so much!”

With that, I wrapped my arms around her and wouldn’t let go. Grandma, unable to resist, gently patted my back. “You’re too old to be acting like this.”

I stuck out my tongue. “No matter how old I get, I’ll always be a child in your eyes.”

Grandma lovingly ruffled my hair and playfully chided, “You little rascal.”

With that, I led her into the room, while Grandpa said he was going downstairs for a coffee.

As soon as the door closed, Grandma suddenly turned serious and said, “Hayz, we know about you and Ben.”

I froze.
