The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 534

Don's expression tightened, "What happened?"

In that instant, his mind raced with thoughts of Sophia being hurt, but the next moment, Cindy's tearful words caught him completely off guard, "Last night, the construction team worked overtime. Sophia fell into the river trying to save someone, and she hasn't been found yet."

Don's mind went blank for a second.

The employees attending the meeting took the opportunity of him being on the phone to sneak a peek at their mobiles.

The news of a huge reward for any information leading to a rescue had already been blasted across all major platforms as the top headline, pinged straight to everyone's phones.

Ivan was also in the meeting room. He had casually glanced at his phone, but when he saw the name "Sophia", his actions froze, and he grabbed his phone to speed read the message. In a flash, he was on his feet, not even a "sorry" out before he bolted out the door.

Don quickly opened Twitter on his phone and his face went pale seeing the official statement from Starlight Group. Without a second thought for the meeting, he called out, "Meeting's adjourned," and hurried out.

The office was in an uproar.

Whether they were diligently working or slacking off, everyone was rattled by the news of Sophia's disappearance in the river, whispering and discussing the shocking news, hardly believing it.

They had worked together for long. Sophia was well-liked for her kindness and good temper, lacking any airs of superiority, and being gentle and beautiful. The sudden bad news of her misfortune had a few unable to hold back their tears,

which started flowing freely.

Sniffling filled the office.

Marian stared at the news from her phone with eyes wide open. When Don walked in, somebody couldn't help but stand up and call out to him, "Mr. Dempsey, the director, she..."
