He thought for a moment and said, “Send a message over there and tell them to bring Adan here.”
“Yes.” Edgar nodded and went to send the message right away.
The car started up again and headed for the Humphrey Group.
Suddenly, Edgar said anxiously, “Mr. Humphrey, something’s wrong, Adan is missing!”
Maxwell frowned, “When did that happen?”
Edgar’s face was full of fear: “They just reported it, said the person disappeared a month ago, but the people below hid it. We just found out because they couldn’t produce the person when asked!”
“The thing before made Adan really hate us, and he didn’t have a good time after he went back home, if…”
Edgar was really kind of freaking out.
Because he witnessed the whole thing, Adan–Dunlap was originally the general manager of the company’s purchasing department, but after that incident, he ended up like this.
Purchasing manager, that was a real cushy job.
Not to mention this was the General Manager of the Purchasing Department at the Humphrey Group!
Thinking of this, Edgar said, “Mr. Humphrey, should we add bodyguards?”

“Should we remind Ms. Gregg too?”
Maxwell rubbed his forehead, then nodded and told Edgar to handle it..
Adan.
What flashed in Maxwell’s eyes was a cold intent to kill.
He definitely wouldn’t let him go!

Stephanie had already taken off her makeup and lay back down.
McKayla took some time to come see her.
“Steph, you were just amazing!” McKayla laughed, holding Stephanie’s arm. “The stage was just awesome!”
“Is it really that exaggerated?” Stephanie looked at McKayla and thought her exaggerated expression was funny. She said, “I suspect you’re looking at me through ‘rose–colored glasses,‘ so of course you think everything about me is great.”
“No way!”
McKayla totally disagreed, she rubbed up against Stephanie.
“We grew up together. Don’t I know what you can do?”
“I wasn’t watching that censored version online, haha. I had a friend working there, and I asked her to livestream it for me on her phone. It’s just a pity I didn’t know the crew would be so shady, so I didn’t record it. Not sure if she saved it on her end.”
McKayla got more and more excited as she spoke.

“When I was still running around after my brother, you were already practicing piano seriously, and later you got good at all kinds of instruments!”
“And that was just your hobby, Mr. Shelton always treated you as the future heir. back then…”
When she said this, McKayla paused.
The smile on Stephanie’s face paused a little, but her expression didn’t really change.
Her dad had always been her biggest worry, and everything changed after her dad died.
“Steph.” McKayla held her hand tight.
Seeing the worried look on McKayla’s face, Stephanie snapped out of it and said, “Kayla, you don’t have to be so careful. I’m not that fragile, and besides, that was a long time ago.”
“I’m doing pretty well now too, aren’t I?” Stephanie said, squeezing McKayla’s hand back.
McKayla saw that Stephanie’s expression didn’t look fake, so she finally relaxed.
After hesitating for a bit, McKayla spoke again: “So, what about her? Now… what’s going on?”
Stephanie looked up at McKayla and saw the caution in her eyes.
The only person they could mention between them in such a careful tone was just one.
Her mom.
