Chapter 1609
Felicity was taken aback. “Gone missing? Ste just asked me how to make apple porridge this
morning, and she even sent me a picture of it after she was
done. She told me that she was going to bring it to Keegan.”
Vermont paused. ’Try contacting Ste now and see if you can reach her.”
Felicity immediately tried contacting Ste through both calling and messaging.
The call was connected, but no one answered. And her messages were left
unread.
Now, the both of them grew anxious.
They would not be anxious like this if this was some other day.
However, today was the chairman’s election meeting of Vinci Rivera, so both of
them going missing at a time like this made them overthink.
Vermont immediately suspected that Chandler might be the person behind this.
Chandler and Keegan were equally capable in thepany, and both of them
had a significant chance of winning the election. A few years ago, Chandler was
more influential and powerful than Keegan, but things had changed.
Although the Saun family seemed as though they did not care about the election
even after Ste’s return to the
family, they were secretly doing a lot of things to support Keegan.
Anyone with a clear mind could see who the better chairman would be. No
matter how hard Chandler tried to maintain his rtionship with other
shareholders, they were still more concerned about their personal interests. So,
even before the meeting started, many of them had already switched sides.
If Keegan did not arrive at the meeting in time and it was canceled, his
reputation would definitely take a hit. Then, Chandler would probably initiate an
impeachment protocol along with other shareholders, causing the next election
to be dyed indefinitely.
The longer it dragged on, the harder it would be for Keegan to get rid of
Chandler.
Keegan had prepared for this battle for so long, yet he went missing on the most
important day. Vermont could not convince himself that it had nothing to do with
Chandler.
Vermont and Felicity acted separately, with one going to Vinci Rivera to check
on things, while the other contacted Ste’s friends and family to check if
anyone knew where she went.
Aldor was asked to go upstairs, but the person who was supposed to give him
the documents was nowhere to be seen.
Aldor was not the only oneing to collect the documents, so he figured that it
would be inappropriate for
him to rush that person. He stared at his watch anxiously, hoping to hear from
Keegan soon.
When he finally got the documents, there were only about ten minutes until the
meeting started.
Vermont was squatting down outside of Vinci Rivera’s office. He could see some
bloodstains on the ground and some of them were not dried yet. And he saw
some apple porridge spilled on the ground. He could not find the thermos
anywhere and thought that the janitor had probably taken it away.
He thought about the apple porridge that Felicity had mentioned earlier and said
in a hoarse voice, “Aldor, something bad has most probably happened to them.”

Aldor’s expression changed.
Someone urged Aldor to go upstairs and prepare for the meeting, as it was
going to start soon.
Aldor wiped his sweat away and tried to calm himself down. “Mr. Snyder, please
call the police to find them. I’ll take care of the meeting and tell Mrs. Kane Sr.
about this.”
“Sure.”
Ste had inhaled some hallucinogenic substance, but she did not lose
consciousness because she had held her breath. However, her limbs felt weak,
and she did not dare to move or open her eyes.
The sight of Keegan covered in blood was still vivid in her mind. She had no
idea how bad his injuries were. He was right beside her, but she could not even
bring herself to look at him.
She was terrified, but she tried her best to keep her emotions in check and
remain calm.
