Cory had always been swift to act, especially when it came to things related to Ashley.

The next morning, they arrived at Ashley's parents' house. Cory rang the doorbell multiple times, but no one answered.

The Webbs' neighbor finally came out and explained, "The two of them said that they had won a lottery two days ago. They packed up their things and left for a holiday."

Cory stopped ringing the doorbell. When the neighbor left, he punched the gates hard.

At that moment, his phone vibrated. He had gotten a message.

He checked it and saw that he had gotten a photo from an unknown number. The photo showed Ashley's parents sitting in a café. He didn't need to think twice to know that it was from Calbert.

Cory tightened his grip so much that his knuckles turned white. His hand was trembling a little as well.

Benji saw the photo. Without thinking, he said, "That bastard is just leading us on like a dog on a leash!"

First, Calbert had used a photo to lead them to the Webbs' house.
