Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 1018

"Quickly, Jenny! Send someone to find out Shaun's whereabouts! Be lowkey about it, and don't alert them," Sandra immediately ordered Jenny after setting the tablet down.

As Sandra's trusted confidante, Jenny knew what was on her mind. Will's team of bodyguards had alerted Shaun and Samantha, and Shaun even ended up injured. If they caused another commotion just to hunt them down, it might alarm them and affect Shaun's recovery.

In the study, Will had seen the news as well. His expression darkened even further. "Continue the investigation! Do whatever it takes to bring them back!"

"Yes, sir!" the head bodyguard said. As he was about to leave, Will called after him, "Also, find someone to stop that news from trending—especially about Shaun's injury!"

The head bodyguard instantly knew what Will was thinking. Not only did he want Shaun to be brought back, but he had to be alive. It was crucial to prevent their enemies from learning of Shaun's injury so that they wouldn't have the opportunity to take revenge.

Alex's bark was worse than his bite, yet he criticized the head bodyguard for being too kind and soft-hearted.

…

It was the next day. Sandra had waited for news the whole night. She was unable to sleep, having tossed and turned the entire night.

Sandra ended up getting out of bed very early. Afterward, she learned that Will had sat in the study the whole night and had not gone to bed either.

Alex also woke up exceptionally early. He sat at the dining table, reading the newspaper while waiting for breakfast.

Once breakfast was ready, Will came out from the study. Alex finally set down the papers and asked, "Still no news?"

Although Alex didn't mention anyone specifically, Will and Sandra knew he was asking about Shaun.

Before Will could speak, Jenny rushed into the room. Sandra knew she had some news and said, "Spill everything."

Jenny hummed in response before saying, "Mrs. Thompson, I found out that Mr. Shaun and Ms. Steele were wounded at Vorcal. Although Mr. Shaun got injured, he didn't go to any hospital. Instead, they left Vorcal immediately and headed for the docks at Porclam.

"The Ruby, which is heading for Rusbak, departed at 5:30 am. The ship has been gone for three hours, so it'll be hard for us to catch up."

"Will do," Brook answered before making arrangements immediately.

Soon, not only were the netizens circulating news about the sunken ship, but even the media was starting to report on the matter.

At first, Sandra prayed that it was just a rumor. But when the cruise company issued a statement on the sinking of its ship, Sandra's heart sank.

"Are you all happy now? Shaun's dead!" Sandra couldn't control her tears from falling as she cried accusingly.

Alex expressionlessly got up and returned to his study. He made a phone call to seek help for rescue efforts.

"Quickly send the navy to provide help to The Ruby!" Will also phoned his subordinates and arranged for assistance to be dispatched immediately. At the same time, he went out of the house.

Three days later, the news of there being no survivors on The Ruby made headlines.
