Chapter 340

Author: Goldfish
Nicole felt a dull ache in her chest, as though a huge stone was crushing her from inside.

If she refused, her mom would have to be detained for five days.

They had been thoroughly humiliated, and Nicole almost couldn't breathe from the pressure. She clenched her fists and thought about it.

In the end, she had no choice but to agree to Amelia's demand. Taking a deep breath, she said, "Fine! Write me a memorandum of understanding."

"Since when did I say I would do that?" Amelia said with a sm

    Jayden turned and saw Jasper standing under a streetlight not far away, dressed in a black suit, calm and steady.Behind him stood several National Security Bureau agents, badges in hand."Jasper? What are you doing here?"Jayden frowned, a flash of caution in his eyes. He hadn't expected Jasper to find him, let alone bring federal agents.Jasper walked toward him step by step, his expression firm. "I'm here to tell you to stop. You've abducted two of the country's top engineers. That's a national security issue. Turn back now, and you might still have a way out. Hand Amelia over and cooperate with the investigation, and the judge might go easier on you.""Go easier on me?" Jayden let out a cold laugh, his eyes full of mockery. "Drop the act. Amelia is my guest. This isn't kidnapping. Don't go throwing accusations!""A guest?" Jasper's tone turned sharp. "You lock someone on a remote island and cut off all contact. Is that how you treat a guest? Do you really think your tricks

    After getting the coordinates of the private island in the Meridian Sea, Christopher immediately contacted the National Security Bureau.Jasper had already lined up the resources. A rescue vessel equipped with advanced gear was prepped overnight, ready to depart at any moment.At 3 a.m., the dock was lit up bright.Christopher stood there in a black tactical jacket. His face was still pale, but his eyes were sharp and focused.He checked the satellite communicator, first-aid kit, and locator device he was carrying. Nigel stood nearby with a few handpicked bodyguards, all of them serious and alert."Mr. Zephyr, all equipment has been tested. The vessel is ready to leave anytime." Nigel kept his voice low. "The National Security Bureau's special team is already on board, staying out of sight in the cabin."Christopher nodded, his gaze fixed on the dark ocean ahead. The sea wind tugged at his jacket, cold and damp."Move out."His voice was low, steady, and final.The rescue vess

    Jayden had always been jealous of Christopher. He resented him for taking the position as head of the Zephyr family and for receiving their grandparents' favor.Jayden's desire to control Zephyr Group had always been strong. Now that he already had the company, why would he still take Amelia?Unless it was for the core data of the drone project.Amelia was a key engineer at the Academy of Aerospace. She was involved in the drone combat simulation program and had access to a large amount of sensitive data.If Jayden wanted to use her to obtain that data and sell it to foreign interests, then everything made sense."Maybe what he really wants is the drone project's core data."Christopher opened his eyes, his tone firm. "Amelia is part of the Academy of Aerospace's drone program. She has access to critical data. Jayden's always been interested in that project. He tried to get involved more than once, but I shut him down every time. Now that he has Amelia, he's probably planning t

    Christopher looked up, alert, and walked to the door. Through the peephole, he saw two familiar faces: Jasper and Winona.Christopher hesitated for a moment, then opened the door."Mr. Zephyr, it's been a while."Jasper spoke first, his tone calm, though there was a weight in his eyes.He wore a black coat, steady and composed. Winona stood behind him, holding a folder. Her expression was tense, and the way she looked at Christopher carried clear frustration.Christopher stepped aside to let them in, closed the door, and said nothing. He just gestured toward the couch."We're here because of Amelia."Jasper sat down and got straight to the point. "Two of the country's top engineers went missing during a field assignment. It's already caught the attention of the National Security Bureau. Winona and I were assigned to assist with the investigation."Winona placed the folder on the coffee table and looked at Christopher, her tone sharp with blame. "This is on you! If it weren't

    This was Christopher's responsibility, and a promise he had made to his grandparents.Jayden watched Christopher's retreating back. The smile on his face slowly faded, replaced by something darker.He called out, "Chris, is there nothing you want to say to me? Aren't you curious about Amelia?"Christopher paused for a second but didn't turn around. "I don't need to know."With that, he walked out of the conference room, leaving Jayden standing there, his expression turning grim.Christopher stepped out of the Zephyr Group building and looked up at the sky. The sunlight was bright, almost blinding, but it did nothing to cut through the weight pressing down on him.He pulled out his phone and called Nigel. "Any updates on Amelia?""Not yet."Nigel's voice carried a hint of frustration. "We've checked every lead we can think of, but there's still no trace of Ms. Sinclair or Mr. Burns. However, we did find that before Ms. Sinclair disappeared, Jayden moved a large sum of funds. The

    Northon.Whitmore Manor was filled with a heavy, suffocating silence.Christopher stood in his study, a black suitcase at his feet, methodically packing up his personal belongings.He placed a few worn books with curled pages inside, along with a scuffed fountain pen and a framed photo of him as a boy with Dorothy.Gerald leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed as he watched Christopher's calm, unreadable profile, his eyes filled with quiet scrutiny.Ever since the news of Amelia's disappearance came in, Christopher had acted as though nothing had happened. He went to work on time and handled company affairs as usual. Now, he even had the time to come back to Whitmore Manor to pack.There wasn't a trace of worry or panic on his face, as if the missing woman had nothing to do with him."Aren't you worried about Amelia?"Gerald finally broke the silence.He couldn't read Christopher. He had always been like this, keeping everything buried, never showing anger or emotion.Ame

    There was no change on Christopher's face when he heard what Amelia said.He calmly toyed with the lighter in his hand and turned to look out the window, too. He said almost carelessly, "It's not time yet."Not the time yet.Amelia smirked, but said nothing.She knew Christopher well enough.Si

    Amelia was starting to get an idea of what was going on in Dorothy's mind.Perhaps Dorothy had seen the online article and was trying to stand up for her. Dorothy had always doted on her and couldn't bear to see her mistreated.She pursed her lips and said gently, "Grandma, there's nothing of that

    Tania's words made the organizer instinctively turn to Amelia and survey her from head to toe.He was impressed. Amelia was, after all, a beauty.However, he quickly retracted his gaze and asked, "Is this a friend of yours?"Tania smiled and pulled Nathan into her arms. "My dear grandson's ex-nan

    Nicole's eyes widened in disbelief."Me? Apologize to her?" Nicole almost smacked the table in anger as she gritted her teeth. "I didn't do anything wrong! Why should I apologize to her?"Dorothy looked calmly at her and said authoritatively, "In that case, we'll have to take back the company Chri
