Chapter 448


    Aster answered the call very quickly.


    “Uncle Dn!” he called out very sweetly.


    Kevan’s heart was a little bitter. “Aster, it’s me.” His normally cool voice had a little warmth in it, which


    was rare. His fixed gaze on Aster’s


    profile picture was gentle, like he could see the actual person through the picture.


    “Ah!” Aster panicked for a moment before changingck quickly. “Hi, Uncle Kevan!”


    The address of “Uncle Kevan” did not satisfy the man in question, but he supposed that was as much


    as he could expect for now.


    “Aster, could you please tell me in detail how you and your mom nearly got hit? For example, when and


    where?” Kevan patiently lured him


    to give him the answers that he wanted.


    Aster’s memory was quite good. He was able to tell when and where at once. Kevan gave his own


    phone to Dn, who understood what he wanted immediately and called the president of the


    corporation under which the mall was. A few minutester, he hung up and gave


    Kevan the “okay” hand gesture.


    Kevan nodded lightly before continuing his conversation with Aster. “Were you and your mommy hurt?”


    “No. Thank goodness Mommy ranst Aster was still shaken up whenever he recalled what happened


    that day. “It was really scary!”


    Simrly, Kevan was also shaken up.


    “That won’t happen again,” he promised Aster.


    They chatted for a while when suddenly Larissa’s voice could be heard. “Aster, are you showering?”


    Aster hurriedly hung up the call


    Only then did Kevan return Dn’s phone to him.


    “The surveince footage will be sent to your inbox tomorrow afternoon at thetest,” Dn said.


    “Good.” Kevan took back his own phone and instructed Dn, “Find people to follow Larissa and Aster.


    If there’s anything, have them inform me directly. The new game’s gonna getunched soon. I have to


    keep an eye on Rubik. I might have to trouble you to look after anything that’s rted to Larissa for the


    time being.”


    Dn was unused to him being so deferential, so he said, “There’s no trouble at all Larissa’s my friend


    too.” while patting Kevan’s shoulder. “Just concentrate on doing the things that you need to, and leave


    the rest to me.”


    Kevan gazed at him wordlessly, his eyes filled with gratitude.


    The annual National Economic Forum was held in Bartham. More than a hundred economists attending


    this forum checked into Winston


    Hotel


    From morning onward, the lobby was packed with people.


    Larissa specially added more people to assist with matters in the lobby, and she hersell was there to


    supervise as well as provide what help she could to the quests. Thissted all the way till noon. She


    called her assistant and told him to take Aster to the restaurant for lunch while she continued working in


    the lobby.


    But soon, the assistant called back frantically. “Ms. Seymour, Aster’s gone missing!”


    The world went quiet around her. Larissa could hear nothing else.


    She forced herself to calm down, but the hand holding her phone was trembling. Moving away from the


    crowd, she went over to a quiet


    “I just brought Aster down, and we arrived at the restaurant when he said he wanted to go to the tollet. I


    was going to apany him, but he said that he didn’t need me to – The assistant swallowed, his


    voice shaking badly. “He asked me to wait for him in the restaurant and grab something from the buffet.


    I thought that it was fine because there are a lot of people in the restaurant at this time.

    and waited for him for a while, but he never came back I thought it was odd, so I went to find him in the


    toilet, but there was no one there—Im so sorry. Ms. Seymour — I |…” He was so anxious that he was


    nearly in tears. Larissa gripped the phone more tightly than ever.
