The meeting was abruptly interrupted by Maxwell raising his hand, leaving everyone in shock as they watched him step out to answer a phone call, eyes wide with disbelief. They didn't know what was happening. They wondered who could make the usually unsympathetic Maxwell answer a phone call during a meeting

As soon as Maxwell stepped outside, he answered the phone with a gentle tone, "Mona, what's wrong?"

Hearing Maxwell's voice was like finding a pillar of support for Mina. She gradually calmed down. "Maxwell, Soren has kidnapped Ava I need to go to Fuseeland to rescue her

In her past hite, Soren hadn't even attempted to harm Ava at this point in time, but now, it seemed things had changed.

Maxwell didn't know who Soren was, but he recognized Ava's importance to Mona. He comforted her, saying, "Don't panic. Send me Ava's information. Bud is currently on a business trip to Fusceland. Let's see if he can rescue her before we get there." Mona quickly sent Maxwell Ava's photo, phone number, and other personal information,

He glanced at the details and forwarded them to Bud, asking him to help rescue her. Then he instructed Nigel to prepare a private jet at the airport, deciding to cancel the meeting and head home to take Mona to the airport.

Bud was abruptly awakened by a phone call from Maxwell at around one in the morning. He was about to curse when he heard about the kidnapping, and all drowsiness vanished in an uistant. Sitting up, he contacted the police in the area and Maxwell's team.
