Chapter 1643

Ben nearly walked out of the company the moment he learned Charlie was missing. Unfortunately, he was in the middle of a crucial meeting when the call came in.

The board members gaped, but Ben didn't give them a chance to argue further. He strode out, leaving behind a roomful of frustrated sighs and resigned faces.
