Chapter 289
When Rowan was kidnapped this time, Christopher immediately thought of Mr. Hatfield because he
had some interactions with him during the incident with Annabellest time.
Mr. Hatfield had a vastwork of connections, and his men were from all walks of life. He could find
anyone he wanted; it was just a matter of time.
Although Christopher knew who the culprit behind the kidnapping of Rowan was, he was in a passive
situation without evidence. Christopher could only suppress and warn Logan and Jayden by grasping
their mistakes and omissions. but he couldn’t do too much.
Sce Corporation was already in a troublesome state for now. Zavier had a deep foundation in
Sce Corporation. Not to mention that Christopher was the Acting Chairman of Sce Corporation,
even if Kendrick was there, Kendrick couldn’t do much as well.
Nearly one-third of the executives of Sce Corporation was promoted by Zavier. Over the years,
Logan and Jayden also won a lot of people’s hearts.
On the other hand, Christopher was worried that his actions might scare the other party if he did too
much. This might lead to the other party trying to hurt Rowan.
For more than a week, Christopher and Zavier’s side had been in aplicated situation. Zavier was
very dissatisfied with Christopher’s decision to demote Logan. In particr, Logan’s several important
projects were handed over to Zaiden.
Zavier and Zaiden were brothers who looked very harmonious on the surface. They had never fought in
thepany and had always been very nice to each other. In reality, they would usuallypete with
each other behind the scenes.
Kendrick knew these things very well, but he just chose to ignore them.
Thepetition between them for interests was not necessarily bad, as it could bnce everything
out.
But after Kendrick’s ident, the bnce was slowly broken. Now, both sides were waiting to see if
Christopher had the ability to sit firmly in the position of Acting Chairman.
Christopher had to be cautious about everything. He couldn’t even show his weakness or push things
too hard.
Mr. Hatfield sent an address after Christopher finished the phone call with him.
Christopher frowned when he saw the address. It was a high-end apartment developed by Sce
Corporation.
This apartment was mainly for people who had high privacy requirements. Many stars and public
figures lived there.
Christopher then put away his phone and went into the conference room.
The conference room was very quiet. Some were looking at their phones and some were staring
nkly at something. Obviously, the meeting didn’t continue during his departure.
Christopher looked at Harvey and asked, “Why didn’t you continue the meeting?”
Harvey looked at Christopher, but he hesitated to speak. Before he could say anything, a man in his
forties spoke up.
“Mr. Sce, your phone rang twice in the meeting today, and you left the conference room to answer
your call. We were waiting for you.”
Christopher nced at the man who spoke.
He was the head of the marketing department of Sce Corporation, and he was also a Sce.
Christopher should address him as uncle based on his seniority. He was considered a distant branch of
lineage.
Recently, because of Logan’s demotion, he had tried to pick on Christopher in meetings several times.
He might sound fair and just, but in fact, he was penalizing Christopher.
Christopher checked this man’s profile from the HR Department. This man’s name was Renly Sce.
When he first joined Sce Corporation, he worked under Zavier. Several yearster, Renly was
transferred to the marketing department.
When Logan joined Sce Corporation, he also worked in the marketing department for around one to
two years.
Christopher stood at the conference table, holding the table with both hands, and looked at the man.
“So? Do you mean I can’t go out and answer when my phone rings?”
Renly said, “Mr. Kendrick Sce has explicitly requested that the phones should be muted at high-level
meetings, and we can’t leave halfway to answer the phone unless there are special circumstances. Mr.
Sce, do you have a special situation?”
Renly was referring to Kendrick when he talked about the rules.
Renly was using Kendrick to suppress Christopher.
Christopher stared at Renly coldly for a long time. The atmosphere in therge conference room was
tense. Some people were watching the scene, but some didn’t even dare to breathe.
Although there was such a rule, it was not that strict. There were many people who would go out to
answer their phones at ordinary meetings.
But Kendrick had always been a responsible person. During meetings, he would usually pass his
phone to his assistant, who would only hand the phone back to Kendrick under urgent circumstances.

Renly wasn’t scared of Christopher. He just looked at Christopher and smiled coldly.
Christopher suppressed the anger at the bottom of his heart, and his expression slowly faded. He
looked at everyone and said, “Sorry, it’s my issue. It won’t happen again. I will receive three times the
punishment ordingly.”
Nobody expected Christopher, who had always been arrogant, would put aside his pride and apologize
to everyone.
It was even under the circumstance of Renly refuting him in public.
The meeting then took another half an hour and ended in a hurry.
Christopher didn’t go back to his office. Instead, he informed Harvey about some things and went
straight to the underground garage. He then sped back to North Course Apartment.
That was the address sent by Mr. Hatfield.
When he arrived, Mr. Hatfield and his men had already been waiting for a while. Christopher got out of
the car and walked to Mr. Hatfield and the others. Then, he found a young woman standing in front of
Mr. Hatfield.
Mr. Hatfield introduced Christopher and said, “This is Mr. Sce.”
The woman stared at Christopher and smiled at him. “Hello, Mr. Sce.”
Christopher looked at her and nodded as a way of greeting her.
Then, Mr. Hatfield said to Christopher, “This is the news from her, Ms. Torres.” Christopher nced at
Ms. Torres again, and his gaze changed.
Ms. Torres smiled again and said, “I heard from Mr. Hatfield a few days ago
that he was looking for a five-month-old baby, so I’ve been paying attention to this issue for a long time.
I didn’t expect that someone in the chat group would ask about how to deal with a baby’s feverst
night. I happened to know the youngdy who asked. She didn’t have a child, so I kept an eye on her
and talked to her privately. I taught her how to reduce the fever and what medicines to use. I found
some news by investigating around. The baby is just five or six months old. I suggested that she take
the child to the hospital, and she also hesitated, which made it seem like she didn’t dare to take the
child to the hospital.”
After a pause, Ms. Torres said, “I thought it was suspicious at that time, so I went to thedy’s house
with the excuse of delivering medicine to the child to see the child, but she was very cautious and didn’t
intend to let me in at all. Otherwise, I could have been able to take a picture of the child secretly.
Originally, I was
worried that this might be a mistake, so I nned to talk to Mr. Hatfield after I was sure. However, I was
afraid of dying the time, so I decided to talk to Mr. Hatfield after thinking about it all night.”
Ms. Torres had a daughter who was three years old, and she had a lot of imported children’s medicine
at home. When she talked to that womanst night, she was in a hurry, so she probably wasn’t
prepared and had no supply of children’s medicines.
As soon as she mentioned bringing some medicine over, the woman immediately agreed.
But unexpectedly. Ms. Torres could only send the medicine to the door. The woman asked about the
usage and dosage, and she couldn’t wait to drive Ms. Torres away on the grounds that the child was
sick.
Ms. Torres couldn’t really stay as it would make that woman suspicious, so she had to leave first.
But when Ms. Torres left, she heard the child crying in the room, which sounded very miserable.
However, the woman didn’t show any nervousness or anxiety.
