Twenty minutes ago.

The Larson Group executives were in a conference with another high-profile company.

Sebastian’s phone had been vibrating for quite a while, but he chose to ignore it the first couple of times.

When the phone buzzed again and he finally glanced at the caller ID, his frown relaxed.

He raised a hand to signal a halt to the meeting.

“I’m sorry, but I need to take this call,”

he said, proceeding to answer his phone without waiting for the other men’s response.

As Sebastian listened to Natalie’s words, his face slowly darkened.

His body grew tense, and a heavy pressure was palpable in the air.

Garrett turned to Sebastian and noted how tight his grip was on his phone, as well as the slight tremor of his hand.

“What happened?” Garrett asked as soon as Sebastian hung up.

But the latter barely acknowledged him.

“Sorry, this meeting will have to be postponed,” Sebastian announced.

He stood up and walked out of the room.

The men looked at each other, dumbfounded, but none of them dared to raise a question.

Garrett hurried after Sebastian and asked him again, “What’s wrong?”

Sebastian closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

“Send out all our helicopters to look for a maple forest in the periphery of the city.”

Garrett needed no further explanation.He nodded and rushed to do as he had been ordered.He knew that something had happened to Sebastian’s wife.

Moments later, five helicopters hovered over the city, scouring for a particular patch of woods.

Sebastian was on one of the machines, siting with back ramrod straight and his eyes straight ahead.

He was barely keeping his anger in check.
