Chapter 1644

When Amelia and Patrick saw the newspaper report, Kaleb was considering whether to run away.

Initially, he was worried that Brittany would betray him, so he kept an eye out for every single detail that happened around him. However, he did not expect that Yancie's disappearance would attract the attention of the public before Brittany caused any fuss!

Although it was stated a missing person case, Kaleb was afraid that the truth would not contain itself.

Yancie's 'disappearance' was a mistake Kaleb had made on impulse. If he could reverse time, Kaleb would never choose kill her!

Also, Freddy had granted him lesser time. If Kaleb could not find an investor who could rival Sawyer in time, the consequences were foreseeable.

Ding, ding, ding.

Here it came!

Kaleb raised his bloodshot eyes and stared at the landline that kept ringing.

Kaleb got nervous as soon as he heard this sound because this signified the never-ending affairs and orders he had to carry out. Kaleb could not enjoy the pleasure of being the top decision-maker at all. The people around him were useless, and he could not trust people like Jonathan and the others, who were slightly capable. So, Kaleb had no choice but to do a lot of things himself.

While he was lost in thought, the landline continued ringing. Then, Kaleb picked up the receiver with a sullen face and said, "Hello."

"I'm Freddy Gradner."

"Oh, Mr. Gradner!" Kaleb managed to pull himself together and asked, "Mr. Gradner, do you have any instructions?"

"I can't wait any longer. Have you found a suitable investor?" Freddy's question verified the facts of Murphy's Law.

Kaleb did not want to deal with this any longer. Recently, the matter between Brittany and Yancie had already put him under great pressure. Kaleb wanted to give eup.


"Mr. Gradner, I was just about to tell you this. I've found a suitable investor. We're in the middle of a discussion now."

"Oh, really?" Freddy's voice suddenly turned loud and clear. "Who is it? Is he on par with Sawyer?" "Mr. Gradner, please allow me to keep you

guessing first. When the negotiation is done, I'll introduce him to you. Is that okay?"

Freddy thought for a moment and replied, "Okay. That's the deal! Remember, you have to score him down!"

Kaleb had a glib tongue and answered, "Okay! Mr. Gradner, if there's nothing else, can I continue the discussion?"

Freddy replied with a grin, "Okay, go on with your business. Let's talk later!"

After Kaleb lowered the receiver, he made up his mind to leave Northville for four

reasons.

Firstly, he could not get a great investor. Secondly, the company was in a mess. Thirdly, Brittany was abducted. And finally, Yancie's disappearance was published on the news. If Kaleb stayed, he had a premonition that something would happen to him!

A sense of unwillingness floated to his mind again at the thought of fleeing this way. He had paid such a high price and even killed to get his current position. If he gave up like this, he would have lost everything he fought for.
