âDonât you already have a gun? Why do you need more?â Puzzled, Patrick asked âIâll distribute the guns to everyone on the team. In this way, we can keep ourselves safe and gain the initiative.â
âWhat do you mean?â
Anna frowned, saying, âToday, I saw Smith at the grocery store. He wasnât wearing a uniform. And he was accompanied by two soldiers. He appeared to have placed an order with the grocery store owner some time ago.â
âWhat is it?â
âItâs a time bomb hidden inside a leather case.â
Surprised, Patrick asked, âReally? Are you sure?â
âOf course.â
Then Patrick asked with suspicion, âHow is this even possible? They came here with many soldiers and a large number of weapons. Why would they bother to customize a bomb at such a town?â
âI suspect heâs keeping that bomb for himself,â Furrowing her brows, Anna said Patrick froze for a moment. When he thought of the fact that Anna had suddenly decided to buy guns in bulk, he realized what was going on âIs he planning on blowing up our station?â In shock, he asked âShh! Keep your voice down!â With a frown, Anna said. As Patrick stopped the car, Anna asked, lifting her chin toward the lighted room in the front yard, âDoes she live there?â
561 They Knew About Wayneâs ]
Hearing the sound of a woman coughing coming from that room, Patrick said with a nod, âThatâs right. Letâs go.â
In the evening, a group of police officers arrived at the hospital in the town near the mountain. âHave you seen this young man?â
A young plainclothes officer asked several nurses. He showed them a picture of Matthew One of the nurses looked at the photo for a moment before saying, âIâm sure Iâve seen him. He arrived last night.â
âIs he still in the hospital?â
âHe left the hospital early this morning. Someone picked him up here.â
âWho?â
âIâm sorry, I donât know.â
âDid the person take any notes when they left?â
âYes.â
Although this was a small hospital, the staff kept meticulous records on each patient. So, it didnât take the officer long to find the note A few minutes later, Ryan received a text message. He froze when he saw that picture âHow are things going? Did they find any clues ?â Karl asked Ryan paused for a moment before handing Karl his phone. Confused, Karl asked, âHuh? Anna took Matthew away? How is this even possible? Annais still at Fleosil at the time, and there is no way sheâd return and take Matthew away from the hospital.â
âBut this is her handwriting.â
âSomeone mustâve faked her handwriting. That person is so shrewd!
561 They Knew About Wayneâs A] The hospital is run-down, and there isnât even a security camera there. We canât find anything there! Where are they taking Matthew?â Karl said anxiously Ryan exhaled deeply and said, âCalm down. The very least we can do now is ensure Matthewâs safety. Well. Itâs highly likely that he got hurt Otherwise, they would not have taken the risk of sending him to the hospital.â
âSo, how is he?â
âMatthew was diagnosed with a concussion. He was in a coma when he was taken to the hospital.â
Shocked, Karl stood up right away. âHuh? If he doesnât get treatment right away, his condition will get worse! Have you sent them out to find him yet?â
âIâve dispatched people to look for him, but thereâs no word from them yet. I have no idea whatâs going on.â Ryanâs phone rang at that precise moment. And he answered the call, âHello? Whatâs up, Emily?â
âDid you find Matthew yet?â Over the phone, Emily asked âWeâre still looking for him âThe board is back with a new drama.â
âWhatâs going on?â Ryan asked, shocked âLong story short, they found out about Wayneâs true identity and called a shareholdersâ meeting and invited all of the directors.
Your mom is on her way there.â
âIâll be right there!â After hanging up the phone, Ryan quickly grabbed his jacket and left the room. He didnât have time to explain anything to anyone. On his way, he kept thinking, This is so strange! Why did everything happen all at once recently? First, Matthew went missing. And now, the board of directors tried to find someone to replace him. It canât be a coincidence that these two things happened at the same time!
Meanwhile, in one of the meeting rooms of the Carousel Group headquarters, many people were arguing.
âHeâs not even a member of the Wright family, and heâs still a teenager. What gives him the authority to be the groupâs president?â
âNo, youâre wrong! Heâs been coming to the office a lot since he was a kid, so I know him well. I know heâs a business genius! Heâs outperformed the adults since taking over the group.â
âBut no one believes he can manage the group well. In short, we cannot let him manage such a large group!â
At that moment, someone opened the meeting room door. After seeing Jennie, the crowd fell silent. Jennie was dressed in a long black dress and a black coat, giving her an oppressive appearance âWhat brings you here, Mrs. Wright? Where is Matthew?â One of the board members asked condescendingly With a calm face, Jennie replied, âMatthew has been resting at home lately because he isnât feeling well. Iâm filling in for him at the meeting.â
âIs he sick, or has something else happened to him? Mrs. Wright, you canât fool us. Everyone has heard that Matthewâs car crashed off a cliff.â
Jennie looked at that man and said, âYou should have seen on the news that the rescuers had found the empty car. Matthew was not in the car when it crashed. He suffered minor injuries, and the doctor said he would be fine after some rest at home. You can send the documents he needs to sign directly to my house.â
One of the directors sneered and said, âMrs. Wright, are you serious? Why would we send files to your home? We wonât allow anyone outside the 561 They Knew About Wayneâs. YY Wright family to handle these matters.â
âWhat? Do you dare to say that in front of my father again?!â
âYes, of course. Mrs. Wright, you know best who Wayneâs father is. Of course, you know whether or not he is your fatherâs biological grandson!â
âIsnât the companyâs discretion distributed based on equity? Whatâs the point of caring about such trivial matters?â
âYes, it is true that it is distributed based on equity. But, sorry, I propose that itâs time for us to elect a new executive president.
Matthew owns less than fifty percent of the company. So, as long as two-thirds of people here vote to re-elect, he will no longer be president.â
Matthewâs identity has no direct bearing on whether he will be elected president, but it would undoubtedly influence the shareholdersâ decision. At that thought, Jennie frowned deeply Then a director said, âMany of us here have been working at the company for many years. Carousel can achieve such success because of Peterâs hard work. He canât work right now, but thatâs not the reason we should leave his company in the hands of someone who isnât a Wright.â
âMrs. Wright, if you want to make decisions on Matthewâs behalf, you can also vote. I completely agree with this, and I believe everyone else also does.â
âYou...â Jennie was trembling with rage. She was well aware that these people were taking advantage of the fact that neither Peter nor Matthew were present. As a result, they wanted to steal the painstaking fruits of the Wrights At that precise moment, someone opened the door. Ryan then stormed in with a group of people. And everyone in the meeting room was taken aback by their presence
