Aster answered the call very quickly.
“Uncle Dylan!” he called out very sweetly.
Kevan’s heart was a little bitter. “Aster, it’s me.” His normally cool voice had a little warmth in it, which
was rare. His fixed gaze on Aster’s profile picture was gentle, like he could see the actual person
through the picture.
“Ah!” Aster panicked for a moment before changing lack quickly. “Hi, Uncle Kevan!”
The address of “Uncle Kevan” did not satisfy the man in question, but he supposed that was as much
as he could expect for now.
“Aster, could you please tell me in detail how you and your mom nearly got hit? For example, when and
where?” Kevan patiently lured him to give him the answers that he wanted.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAster’s memory was quite good. He was able to tell when and where at once. Kevan gave his own
phone to Dylan, who understood what he wanted immediately and called the president of the
corporation under which the mall was. A few minutes later, he hung up and gave
Kevan the “okay” hand gesture.
Kevan nodded lightly before continuing his conversation with Aster. “Were you and your mommy hurt?”
“No. Thank goodness Mommy ran last Aster was still shaken up whenever he recalled what happened
that day. “It was really scary!”
Similarly, Kevan was also shaken up.
“That won’t happen again,” he promised Aster.
They chatted for a while when suddenly Larissa’s voice could be heard. “Aster, are you showering?”
Aster hurriedly hung up the call
Only then did Kevan return Dylan’s phone to him.
“The surveillance footage will be sent to your inbox tomorrow afternoon at the latest,” Dylan said.
“Good.” Kevan took back his own phone and instructed Dylan, “Find people to follow Larissa and Aster.
If there’s anything, have them inform me directly. The new game’s gonna get launched soon. I have to
keep an eye on Rubik. I might have to trouble you to look after anything that’s related to Larissa for the
time being.”
Dylan was unused to him being so deferential, so he said, “There’s no trouble at all Larissa’s my friend
too.” while patting Kevan’s shoulder. “Just concentrate on doing the things that you need to, and leave
the rest to me.”
Kevan gazed at him wordlessly, his eyes filled with gratitude.
The annual National Economic Forum was held in Bartham. More than a hundred economists attending
this forum checked into Winston Hotel
From morning onward, the lobby was packed with people.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLarissa specially added more people to assist with matters in the lobby, and she hersell was there to
supervise as well as provide what help she could to the quests. This lasted all the way till noon. She
called her assistant and told him to take Aster to the restaurant for lunch while she continued working in
the lobby.
But soon, the assistant called back frantically. “Ms. Seymour, Aster’s gone missing!”
The world went quiet around her. Larissa could hear nothing else.
She forced herself to calm down, but the hand holding her phone was trembling. Moving away from the
crowd, she went over to a quiet
comer and took a deep breath before speaking. “Tell me properly, what on earth happened?”
“I just brought Aster down, and we arrived at the restaurant when he said he wanted to go to the tollet. I
was going to accompany him, but he said that he didn’t need me to – The assistant swallowed, his
voice shaking badly. “He asked me to wait for him in the restaurant and grab something from the buffet.
I thought that it was fine because there are a lot of people in the restaurant at this time.1/2
and waited for him for a while, but he never came back I thought it was odd, so I went to find him in the
toilet, but there was no one there—Im so sorry. Ms. Seymour — I |…” He was so anxious that he was
nearly in tears. Larissa gripped the phone more tightly than ever.
