Chapter147.

Tyrell, however, merely offered a knowing smile.”Mr. Vaughn, you truly are a master of calculations. You’ve woven quite the trap, haven’t you? You can’t find Ms. Perez, so you conveniently place this impossible burden on my shoulders. Are you expecting me to not only navigate the Leslie Group’s impending crisis within a month but also hand the entire company back to you, no strings attached?”

A slow smile spread across Leland’s face. “Is it really that difficult?”

Tyrell’s gaze narrowed, sharp and menacing. “Do you truly believe this task isn’t difficult, Mr. Pearson?”

A calculating glint flickered in Leland’s eyes as he spoke.”A man capable of commanding resources exceeding 2 billion dollars is no ordinary figure. Therefore, I grant you one month. If, within this time, you can bring my wife back to me, I will willingly step aside. I swear, I will never set foot here again.”

Tyrell let out a short, harsh laugh.

Mr. Pearson, you are certainly cunning. Very well. I accept your one-month challenge.”

A ripple of murmurs spread through the onlookers, a stunned silence quickly giving way to whispers of disbelief. They couldn’t quite fathom Leland’s audacity, his willingness to stoop to such schemes, all in the name of finding Kaylie.

In that moment, Leland threw all pretense to the wind, his voice ringing with shameless desperation.”Don’t blame me if I seem ruthless. After all, Kaylie is my entire world. While I admit to mistakes any man might make, my love for Kaylie remains unwavering. I must find her. A task shared is a task made lighter, so I implore each of you-please, help me find my wife. Thank you.”

As Leland bowed deeply before the crowd, his plea hanging heavy in the air, no one noticed the figure of Caitlyn who had somehow, silently, crawled into a shadowed corner of the hotel lobby.
