Timothy confronted Tanner Kimmel, the lord of Xanier Island, with a direct request. “Sellthe reishi
mushroom.”
Tanner cleared his throat before responding. “Mr. Barrett, you'll have to wait until the auction to make a
purchase.”
Timothy narrowed his eyes slightly and inquired, “What are the terms?”
“Mr. Barrett, this isn’t a matter of conditions.” Tanner replied.
Caleb interjected, “There's nothing in this world that can’t be bought; it’s just a matter of whether one can meet
that price. Xanier Island has always been open to business opportunities. Are you really going to pass up this
opportunity?”
Tanner hesitated before responding. “The main issue is that the reishi mushroom isn’t a product of Xanier Island;
so it's being privately auctioned. That's why it’s not listed in any auction catalogs.”
Timothy intervened. “Providewith the contact details.”
“Mr. Barrett, it's important for you to understand our policy here at Xanier Island. We are unable to disclose client

Timothy fixed his gaze on Tanner. “How do you plan to explain tothe fact that your sister tried to abduct a
little girl today?”
Tanner immediately grew uneasy. “Mr. Barrett, this is all a misunderstanding. We would never abduct a little girl,
especially not your child.”
“She’s not my daughter. To be exact, she belongs to Caleb,” Timothy clarified. “Your hotel needs to offer us an
explanation for this incident.” Though he remained composed, his tone carried an undertone of
urgency.
Caleb's surprise was evident as he responded, “Someone from the hotel kidnapped Ginger? Tim, are you
serious?”
“I wouldn't joke about something like this.” Timothy asserted.
Caleb swiftly turned to Tanner, demanding. “How dare your hotel staff abduct my child? Is there some
issue between us?”
Regardless of whether Ginger was his daughter, the series of events-where she mentioned Caleb’s
nonly to be later abducted by the hotel staff seemed to indicate a personal grudge against Cate
Tanner nervously took a sip of water and attempted to clarify. “Mr. Gomez, this is all a misunderstanda We have
no conflicts, and there’s no motive for us to abduct a child, right?
Timothy responded nonchalantly. “It appears your sister has taken an interest in Caleb There's a turner that
there isn’t a man she can’t win over
“My assumption is that she overheard Ginger mentioning Calety’s name, leading the hotel staff to hide
her.5
Caleb couldn't help but frown. “Targeting a child is unacceptable. It's rather unfortunate that your sister has her
eyes on me.”
Realizing there was no way out, Tanner forced a smile and proposed, “I sincerely apologize for this. My sister has
a rather forceful personality.
“How about this, Mr. Barrett? When it’s tfor the reishi mushroom auction, I'll make sure my tearn helps you
secure the bid. Does that sound good to you?”
Caleb responded casually, “Can't you just sell it to us now?”

“I'm afraid | can’t do that. It's the private seller's goods, and | don’t have the authority to interfere, Tanner
responded.
Timothy's tone grew cold, “Givethe seller's contact details.”
In the end, Tanner relented and passed over the contact information, adding, “Please don’t mention that! gave
this to you.”
With the contact details in hand, Timothy exited the room and instructed Heath to reach out to the seller
directly.
However, the seller declined private transactions and insisted on going through Xanier Island's auction
process.
Caleb let out a frustrated sigh. “Is this seller out of their mind? Even with a generous offer, they're declining. It's
not like we're involved in any shady dealings.”
Heath added, “It looks like our only option now is to bid at the auction.”
The reishi mushroom was the sole medicine with the potential to awaken Laura,
Timothy's expression turned grim, and he spoke with determination, “I refuse to give up.”
