Johnson''s words caught my attention.


    Bourdamun?


    I had almost forgotten about that. I saw Liora at the groundbreaking ceremony in Bourdamun.


    She had also brought a group of executives from Ardora to Bourdamun with her.


    "Hey, Chlo, are you still there?" Johnson checked.


    "Oh, I''m here. Try to find out where she is and see what she''s up to," I told Johnson.


    "I''ve already looked around, but I couldn''t find anything. Those people know I''m Matthew''s trusted confidant, so they avoid me like the gue. I''m trying to figure something out from the outside." I could well imagine Johnson''s current predicament.


    "Don''t do anything rash. I''ll figure it out. You just go to work and keep an eye on thepany." I gave my instructions to Johnson and hung up the phone.


    Right now, Liora''s absence from thepany seemed unusual.


    I gripped the phone and thought for a moment. I felt ill at ease since Grayson was not in the country. If he were around, he would be able to deal with this kind of thing in minutes.


    Just then, the door pushed open. As was back.


    He saw me standing by the window and asked, "Why haven''t you slept yet?"


    I quickly walked over to him and eagerly asked, "How did the discussion go?"


    He embraced me with his long arms, looked at me, and calmly said, "Anson won''t admit to pulling any strings, but I think it''s a test for Jared. It''s also time for the Huffman family to make the final decision." "A test for Jared?" I was puzzled. "Doesn''t Anson trust Jared?"


    "I''m afraid it''s rted to Ivanna," As said. My heart pounded.


    "So, this is Huffman''s doing?" I spected.


    He nodded solemnly. "Yes."


    I couldn''t help but lean into his embrace. He understood my inner thoughts, patted my back, and consoled me. "Don''t worry too much."


    "Does that mean Trinity isn''t in danger?" I asked.


    "No, on the contrary, she is in danger." As immediately refuted. "And the dangeres from within the Huffman family."


    I stepped out of his embrace and looked at As, reacting to his words. "Are you saying that there might be instability within the Huffman family?"


    That was the first scenario that came to my mind.


    "That''s right! After all, the Huffman family''s business is very extensive, and their influence is spread too widely. It''s all managed bypetent subordinates, usually divided by region, and they each act autonomously.


    "They might all belong to the Huffman family, but their influence is weaker in some areas. And some people are bound to be restless now that Anson is gradually transferring power to Trinity." As exined the intricacies to me. N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    "Trinity won''t be as ruthless as Anson. So if news of Trinity suddenly disappearing gets out, that would be the best way to put things to the test. Some people won''t@ust sit still and do nothing, and Trinity will be in danger."


    As As exined, I fully understood the danger he was talking about.


    "Why would Anson do this? What if..." I didn''t finish my sentence. It was too terrifying, too risky.


    "But maybe this is the best way! The


    Huffman family might have been forced to do it, or maybe Anson wants to give them a stern warning. He''s helping Trinity establish authority. When Trinity stands firm, he can execute the next step of his n!"


    I could hardly believe they would use such a method.


    Anyway, Trinity had left on her own.


    "What''s the worst-case scenario?" I asked.
