When Hope nervously told Carlson about this, she expected to be scolded, but to her surprise, he just looked thoughtful.
He looked so serious, like something important had happened.
Doubtful, Carlson took Hope’s phone and examined it himself.
There were probably over a hundred photos, in many locations, including bars, restaurants, parks, and scenic spots…
In many photos, one couldn’t even make out half of the man’s face, and Hope didn’t notice anything unusual.
An ordinary male model would never be able to do this.
Carlson began to feel that this man was unfathomable.
No wonder his daughter fell for him.
Even without the photos, Carlson might find clues in the surveillance footage,
Carlson promptly instructed his team to retrieve the surveillance footage from the time, date, and location Hope had provided.
However, someone had destroyed all the surveillance footage beforehand.
Driven by his competitive spirit, Carlson couldn’t accept such a significant loss.
Carlson, eyes blazing with fury, vowed to find the person responsible for the scheme.
News of the broken engagement between the Jones and Yeager families spread quickly through their social circles the following day.
The mysterious man who had threatened them kept their word and did not release Hope’s photos.
Unaware of the truth, those outside the situation made wild assumptions.
Rumors about the Jones and Yeager families abounded, and one could hear several different versions of the story at a single banquet.
As the one directly involved, Carlson was incredibly frustrated. Just when he thought he would never find the man, there was a turn of events.
Hope came across a friend’s photo while scrolling through Instagram one day.
The person was also in their circle, and he had spotted Tinley while taking his sister to school.
Afraid to get closer, he discreetly snapped a picture of Tinley from afar.
Although the photo only captured a blurry side view from afar, Hope was immediately drawn to an inconspicuous passerby.
The passerby, with a tall stature, was walking by holding a child. Only a side view was visible.
Hope recognized him at a glance, as he was someone she had been infatuated with.
After discovering the man’s whereabouts, she didn’t immediately tell Carlson. Instead, she spent three days waiting at the school gate by herself, and during those three days, she finally saw him again.
Hope was certain that this was the man she had met at the bar.

She went home and immediately told her father about it.
Carlson didn’t delay for a moment and immediately had his men look into the man’s identity.
Perhaps Heaven had taken pity on him, as finding the man’s identification was easy this time.
Besides the man’s basic information, there was another fact that Carlson found difficult to accept.
The man was an actor. Not only that, but had signed a contract with an entertainment company in Strate City just two weeks ago, the same time he appeared alongside his daughter.
And the company he signed with was Dreamlight.
By searching business inquiry platforms for “Dreamlight,” Carlson was able to uncover some public information about the company, including Henry Bell, the name of its CEO.
Carlson’s eyelids twitched involuntarily at the sight of the two words.
He was shocked.
The name alone made it clear who owned the company, without any need for further investigation.
Carlson was fuming with anger.
To prevent false accusations, he insisted his subordinates conduct a thorough investigation.
Dreamlight Entertainment was confirmed to be owned by the Holmes family.
Now the truth was almost right before his eyes.
Carlson was surprised to see the Holmes family stooping to such low behavior.
He had previously taken it upon himself to handle a situation, and his child had gotten into a conflict with that delicate child from the Holmes family at school, which offended the Holmes family.
Carlson’s company had been facing difficulties recently, leading to the collapse of several partnerships as former collaborators prioritized their own security.
Disapproval from the Holmes and Adler families led him to consider a marriage alliance with the Yeager family, hoping this partnership would solve his problems.
Carlson didn’t expect Tinley to be so narrow–minded as to ruin his last chance.
This was like directly cutting off his arm.
He was experiencing both physical and emotional trauma.
Carlson was consumed with hatred for the Holmes family, a feeling that had intensified tenfold.
Karen came to call him for dinner, but the intense hatred in his eyes startled her. Afraid to interrupt, she left without a word and returned to the kitchen.
Just as she was about to make a quiet escape, Carlson suddenly swept everything off the table, startling her.
“Tinley Holmes!” Carlson said hatefully.
Hearing him say the name through clenched teeth gave Karen pause. Instead of leaving as she usually did, she stayed and listened for a while.

Carlson’s eyes blazed with fury, his fists clenched tight, as if he were ready to tear Tinley apart.
“You were the one who took things too far, so don’t blame me for being ruthless!” he fumed.
Seeing the look on Carlson’s face, Karen felt a jolt of fear, gripped by a dark premonition.
She recognized that look all too well – it meant her husband was about to do something awful.
To be fair, Karen didn’t want her husband to go up against the Holmes family.
Her priority was the family’s safety, not earning money.
