William didn’t recall saying anything like that. His brows furrowed tightly as he tried to recall. “Did I really say that?”

The finance representative nodded. “Yes, you did. Have you forgotten? If you want the exact details, you can ask Ms. Judd.” William glanced over the investment projects Samantha had signed off on. His expression grew darker. Did she actually think this kind of garbage was worth investing in?

If those had ever been shown to him, he wouldn’t have even given them a second glance, let alone invested in them. That was like burning money for fun.

Samantha must have thought the Lewis family was just too rich.

William snapped irritably, “Shut all those projects down immediately!”

“Yes, sir.”

Arsen rushed forward after taking a call. “Mr. Lewis, the crowd downstairs is getting rowdy. They’re demanding to come up. We really need to do something. Security can’t hold them back much longer.”

William went off. “Are you all useless? Can’t you even handle a few reporters? Call the police!”

“About that-“Arsen hesitated.

William glared at him impatiently. “Spit it out! What now?”

“We don’t know who did it, but someone already called the police. They reported you in connection with Ms. Lloyd’s disappearance years ago. The station wants you to come in for questioning.”

“When did this happen?!” William sounded like he was on the verge of exploding.

“Just a few minutes ago. I’m already looking into who filed the report. We’re still waiting for confirmation.”

“Could it be someone from the Lloyd family?” William couldn’t think of anyone else who would stand up for Rachel.

Arsen didn’t agree. “Mr. Lewis, I don’t think it’s the Lloyd family. Word is, there’s infighting going on over there. Apparently, Jim is preparing to leave part of the inheritance to Ms. Lloyd.”

William’s expression had been tense since the beginning of the crisis, and it only grew tenser. “He’s planning to give it to

Rachel?”

“Yes. And now the younger Ms. Lloyd and Sasha are both furious. Plus, with Jim in poor health and hospitalized, I doubt he has the time or energy to come after you.”

William narrowed his eyes instinctively. “Then according to you, there’s only one other possibility.” His gaze drifted across the street to LS Enterprise. “Who else could it be?”

Arsen followed his line of sight. “You think it might be LS Enterprise? Something about that doesn’t add up. If Mr. Hunt really wanted to get involved, why didn’t he act sooner? Why do this now all of a sudden? It doesn’t make sense.”

William raked his hands through his messy hair. “You’re asking me like I have the damn answer!”

There was a knock at the office door, and several men in police uniforms entered.

“We’ve received a report that you may be connected to a missing person’s case from five years ago. Mr. Lewis, we need you to come with us to help with the investigation.”

William tried to explain. “What does that have to do with me? That case was closed years ago, wasn’t it?”

“Sorry, Mr. Lewis, we’re just doing our job. As long as there’s a formal report, we’re required to investigate.”
