A few minutes earlier.
Tristan typed something on his iPad while riding in a car to Sinclair Tower. However, Reid’s loud voice distracted him. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"Boss, something happened to the young madam!"
Reid’s tone was filled with dread, catching Tristan’s attention. He paused as he saw Reid’s frightening expression.
"What happened?" Tristan’s heart tightened at the sight of Reid’s expression, which looked like he had just encountered the Grim Reaper.
"Bryan pressed the emergency button," Reid replied, returning his gaze to his cellphone screen. He noticed the red icon, which shouldn’t have been lit, still showing and causing his phone to vibrate.
Tristan’s features suddenly turned pale, as if all the blood under his skin had disappeared without a trace.
He knew exactly what the meaning of ’Emergency Button’ was. The button should not be pressed unless there’s a terrible situation that Bryan can’t handle by himself. In other words, his wife is in danger.
"Heading to the location. NOW!" Tristan roared, throwing his iPad aside and pulling out his cell phone.
While waiting for the connection, he asked, "Where is the car position?"
"Quantum Capital—" Reid answered after asking the driver to speed to the location immediately. He turned off the urgent alarm and checked his pistol.
Tristan’s face became increasingly colorless as he waited for the ringtone to end, but Bryan’s cell phone remained unanswered.
He made another call, this time only the first ring—the phone call connected.
"Max, check what happened in the Quantum Capital Building," he ordered quickly. "Do it NOW!"
Tristan didn’t end the call. He waited, his worry-frightening gaze fixed on the street outside. He prayed that nothing had happened to his wife.
"Check my car position and clear the road toward Quantum!" Tristan added his instruction to Max.
Max did not respond on the other end, but Tristan could hear the keyboard sound from Max’s side.
A few more seconds passed, and Max’s surprising voice echoed from the other end.
