Chapter 505: The Results Are In
Stanton City, Morgan Family.
Today is Vincent Morgan’s first day at the headquarters office as the acting CEO.
Among the younger generation of the Morgans, he is the only son.
Adhering to the belief of passing on to sons but not to daughters, Vincent is the best and only heir.
For the past few years, he has been handling business as a regional manager. Feeling increasingly overwhelmed, Mr. Morgan decided to hand over his position early.
With the new boss stepping in, all the employees in the building wore suits and dresses, ready to welcome the new boss.
As it approached six o’clock.
After a whole day of cautious work, the employees were surprised to find that the new boss left the company in a rush the very second the clock-out machine chimed, unwilling to stay a second longer.
As everyone was gossiping, Vincent personally drove away from the bustling city center.
One hour earlier.
He received the data report from the paternity test center, confirming the relationship between Nora Northwood and Elaine.
He couldn’t wait to share this news with Nora. After several unsuccessful calls, he contacted the reception at VK, only to learn she didn’t come to work today.
Vincent sent a trusted associate to deliver the report to the small villa, only to find no one was there either.
An uneasy feeling in his heart told him that Nora might be in trouble.
So, he utilized the Morgan family’s connections to retrieve full surveillance footage, discovering Nora’s car was driven to the Eastmoor District.
Kidnapping, extortion, murder... Every possibility flashed through Vincent’s mind.
Ironically, today was his first day at the CEO’s office; he couldn’t act rashly and had to wait until six before heading out with his team.
The territory of Stanton City is vast.
It takes an hour and a half to travel from the city center to the Eastmoor District.
...
Jasper Sinclair’s vehicle drew closer to the Eastmoor District. He had contacted the nearby traffic management in advance to clear the planned route.
The journey was cut short by an hour and a half. He dared not imagine what could happen to Nora if he didn’t arrive in time.
During this hour, Louis Hayes was not idle either.
He contacted the most experienced special police team in the country, as well as the bodyguard team around Grandma Sinclair.
In addition, there was a bomb disposal expert and a million in cash notes in the trunk.
Jasper envisioned countless possibilities. He made what he thought was full preparation, just hoping Nora would be safe and sound.
The best-case scenario is that he’s overly nervous and misunderstood the information from the location.
The first thing upon arrival at the site, the police and the criminal investigation team dispersed the workers at the construction site.
This group of workers came from all over the world, their only common trait being poor Mandarin, speaking with different accents and dialects.
Jasper negotiated with several people in succession but got none of the answers he hoped for.
The technicians retrieved nearby surveillance footage, finding some were broken, and others had blind spots. The only certainty was that Nora was still trapped here.
As night fell, the best current approach was a thorough search.
Louis felt apprehensive and joined the search team.
In the distance came the sound of wheels rolling. Jasper glanced over instinctively and saw Vincent stepping out of a vehicle.
The other also spotted him, striding directly towards the center, "Director Sinclair, has anything happened to Nora?"
Vincent’s affectionate address and anxious tone irked the man, evoking a sense that a beloved toy was about to be taken away.
Jasper dismissively replied, "It’s under investigation."
