“Yes.”

Curtis called the risk control department through the internal line. “Tell Emerald Clocklore to come to see me at my office.”

Gabriel remained fixed in his spot, anxiously awaiting until Curtis finished his phone call. After Curtis set the phone down, Gabriel cautiously asked, “Mr. Faymon, what happened?”

“Jefferson took Rayna away.”

Curtis tapped his fingers on his desk restlessly.

Without bothering to see Gabriel’s response, he questioned, “Did you notice anything unusual about Jefferson when you delivered some files to him the day before yesterday?”

“No. Mr. Hamilton acted the same as usual,” Gabriel answered. Something occurred to him as he added, “But Mr. Faymon, I saw the morning news reporting that Glory has a new CEO.”

Curtis’ expression turned as black as thunder. He slammed his fist onto the desk in anger and growled, “He doesn’t care about the bet he made with his father anymore. All he wants is to take Rayna away with him!”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Faymon. I had no idea I’d sleep that soundly last night,” Gabriel said apologetically. He wasn’t usually a sound sleeper.

He might have been unwell last night, as he felt drowsy and slept until the following morning.

This morning, he immediately called Curtis once he noticed the missed calls.

Stella stated that she did not realize his phone was turned off. Otherwise, she would have helped him turn it on and charge the battery.

Gabriel pulled out his phone and said, “I’ll call Air Traffic Bureau—”

“After Jefferson took Rayna with him last night, I informed all the necessary places,” Curtis cut in. “They didn’t find anything.”

“Then how did Mr. Hamilton leave with Mrs. Faymon?” Gabriel was confused. “Could they still be in Norwal City?”

Curtis replied grimly, “Norwal City is my turf. Jefferson wouldn’t be so foolish to stay here.”

Right then, someone knocked at the door.
