Chad had been keeping tabs on the Cedillo Group's recent activities. He speculated, "Andre, are you planning to turn Ashford Inc. into the next Calder Corporation?"

"Hmm." Andre gestured to his wife towards his study. Even though Mia was reluctant, she obediently took her water bottle and went into the study.

Chad warned, "With more subsidiaries, your risk isn't necessarily smaller."

Andre chuckled. He was accustomed to planning for everything. Without absolute certainty, he would not take risks. "Apart from you, who knows that Ashford Inc. will be the next Calder Corporation?"

Calder Corporation was now a formidable force, a billion-dollar enterprise that had recently swallowed up the Marshal Group. Everyone knew about their close ties with the Cedillo Group, but no one knew that they were under Andre's command. Despite Calder Corporation's strength, Mr. Calder was still willing to listen to Andre and showed no intention of breaking free from the Cedillo Group's control to develop independently.

"So who are you planning to hand this over to?" Chad wondered if he was going to let Leo take a shot.

However, Andre's decision surprised Chad. "Alice will take over."

Chad was taken aback. "Aren't you afraid she'll betray you?"

Andre answered with a laugh, "She won't, and she doesn't dare."

Even though it was a laugh, Chad could hear his dominance. Indeed, no one dared to betray Andre.

Chad arrived at the station and ended the call with Andre.

"Captain, we've received another call from Finley's university. Holly's parents are causing a scene again, and the university administration wants us to intervene," a junior officer reported.

After the police started searching for Holly, they visited her hometown. Her family learned of her scandalous actions. Outraged, they began causing a commotion at the university, demanding answers. The university had no choice but to call the police for assistance. Later on, the students were gossiping, speculating wildly.
