Tyler’s POV
Tyler turned and left the hospital room, dialing his assistant’s number. “Find out the detailed address of the Schneiders in California.”
It was already late at night. His assistant had long been asleep and was momentarily disoriented by Tyler’s call.
“Mr. Jacobson? It’s so late, aren’t you resting?”
“I’m not asleep, so how dare you be?”
With just that one sentence, the assistant immediately sprang up from bed. “Mr. Jacobson, please give me your orders.”
“Find out the detailed address of the Schneiders in California, including the addresses of all their affiliated businesses.”
‘Understood. It’ll take some time to compile the list. I’ll send it to you in two hours.”
Tyler rubbed his temples. “Also, book me the earliest flight to Los Angeles. Oh, and right, arrange for a caregiver to look after Clara immediately.”
He paused, then remembered something else and added, “The caregiver must stay with Clara 24/7. She can’t be left alone right now. If I come back and find anything has happened to her, you can all just vanish from New York!”
The next morning, Tyler boarded a flight to Los Angeles.
When he landed, he went straight to the Schneiders‘ mansion. But the people inside said that Hans didn’t live there at all.
He then sought out another villa in the suburbs. From a distance, he saw a sign standing at the
villa’s entrance.
As he got closer, he clearly read, “Tyler and dogs not allowed.”
Good, very good! Clarine, you’ve gotten involved with Hans and now you dare to humiliate him
ike this!
Bang! Tyler smashed the sign directly.
The loud noise startled the people in the courtyard.
Not long after, Hans came out, pushing his wheelchair.
‘Tyler, long time no see. I didn’t expect you to grace us with your presence today.”
Tyler stepped forward, furiously grabbing Hans’s collar and interrupting him. “Where is Clarine?”
‘Sorry, that’s her personal privacy. I can’t disclose it to you for now.”
‘Tell me! I know this has something to do with you! Did you hide her? Make her come out!”
Hans’s expression was calm as he pushed Tyler’s hand away. “If Clarine wants to see you, I won’t stop her.”
Tyler took a step back, intending to force his way into the villa, but he was stopped by security guards.

He stood at the courtyard gate, yelling angrily towards the villa, “Clarine, your sister Clara tried to commit suicide again because of you! And you’re still running away! Are you even human?”
“Clarine, come out! Get out here!”
Upon hearing the name “Clara,” Hans’s expression shifted slightly and he said mockingly, “Tyler, you specifically flew all the way here to find her because of Clara? You really are devoted.”
Tyler shot him a cold glance. “Hans, what do you mean by that? I haven’t even agreed to divorce Clarine and you’re already eagerly publicizing your wedding. That’s bigamy, you know.”
“Oh, really? I seem to recall that Clarine had already completed all the procedures with you before she came to Los Angeles. You two have no relationship now. My marriage to her is perfectly legal and compliant.”
Hans didn’t want to argue with him further and turned his wheelchair, intending to go back into the villa.
Tyler just stared at him intently, then suddenly smiled. “You don’t know, do you? Clarine is a poisonous woman! Even when she was only ten years old, she would frame Clara and try to kill her.”
Hans shook his head knowingly. “Tyler, you’re the one who got it wrong.”
