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.

As Ben rose to leave, the board members exchanged nervous glances and scrambled to stop him.

"You can't leave now! This issue hasn't been resolved yet. Without a clear direction, how can we proceed?"

Their frantic objections only made Ben's temper flare. Shooting them a sharp glare, his icy tone silenced the room. "I have more important matters to attend to. This discussion can wait."

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.
