Chapter 1659
The executive across from Aldor said, “Surely, you must be joking. I haven’t heard any updates from
the search and rescue team.”
“It’s not Mr. Kane, but someone he designated,” Aldor exined.
The man chuckled lightly, “To my knowledge, Mr. Kane has never officially appointed someone to lead
in his absence. It’s odd that this is only being brought up now, especially since he’s been missing for
quite a while. Are you sure he designated this individual, or was it your choice, Aldor?”
Aldor nced at the man, his expressionposed, “Mr. Kane is ustomed to being prepared for
any situation. If he took the step to create a will, it’s reasonable to assume he would also consider
appointing a representative. He chose the current acting representative through a legally binding
contract overseen by a trustedwyer. In his absence, they are authorized to attend crucialpany
meetings on his behalf. Any decisions made by them directly represent Mr. Kane’s intentions. Do you
have a problem with that, Mr. Walker?”

The executive was momentarily taken aback, looking somewhat disgruntled.
Jackson nced at Aldor and casually remarked, ‘Without the board’s approval, I think they can refuse
to acknowledge the appointed representative.”
Aldor nodded, “For someone at your professional level, indeed they can.
However, given Mr. Kane’s position in thepany, he doesn’t need to inform the board. He only
needs to pledge certain assets to thepany to designate a representative.”
He opened the folder before him and said, “This is the asset pledge agreement Mr. Kane used. You
may take a look.”
Jackson remained unruffled. He could sense Aldor’s disdain for him in the tone of his voice.
As he was about to tell him off, Chandler spoke up, “Being an acting representative doesn’t exempt
them from followingpany policies. Failure to arrive on time should be automatically deemed a
forfeit.”
Aldor furrowed his brows.
As perpany guidelines, no one could enter the meeting room after fifteen minutes from the
allocated time; tardiness resulted in automatic forfeiture. It was apparent that the board did not want the
acting representative to attend this meeting.
Aldor was about to speak when someone pushed the door open. A woman’s voice echoed in the ears
of everyone present, “I’m sorry for beingte. I was looking for something, and it took longer than
expected. Hello everyone. I’m Ste Hall, Alex’s temporary leader.”
Alex was the codename for Keegan’s research and development team.
The unexpected introduction left many people puzzled.
They had assumed that the person Keegan designated would be a high-ranking executive of the
company. Never in their wildest dreams did they expect that the person he appointed was a woman
who had never worked in this field before.
The executives immediately broke out into discussion.
“Who is this woman? Why did Mr. Kane appoint her to represent him?”
“She’s Mr. Kane’s ex-wife and also Wenham’s daughter. I heard she’s an actress.”
“Actress? You must be kidding me.”
“Mr. Kane is missing because of her, they say. With his love- struck mindset, it’s not surprising he would
designate her as his acting representative.”
“This is a serious matter. He’s ying with thepany’s future.”
Despite being surrounded by all the talk, Ste remainedposed as if she had not heard a thing.
She walked straight in, followed by Ted and a middle aged man in his forties.
Aldor stood up and pulled out Keegan’s seat at the table. ’ Please have a seat, Mrs. Kane,” he warmly
said.
Just as Ste was about to take her seat, Chandler suddenly spoke up, “Hold on, Ms. Hall. If I
remember correctly, your father’spany is also involved in businesses simr to Vinci Rivera, right?
Is it really appropriate for you to be the head of Alex?”
Ste looked at him and said, “Are you concerned that I would leak Vinci Rivera’s secrets to my father,
Mr. Kane?”
Chandler met her gaze, “My duty extends to the entirepany. I hope you understand, Ms. Hall
