Chapter 1609
Felicity was taken aback. "Gone missing? Stella just asked me how to make apple porridge this morning, and she
even sent me a picture of it after she was done. She told me that she was going to bring it to Keegan."
Vermont paused. ’Try contacting Stella now and see if you can reach her."
Felicity immediately tried contacting Stella through both calling and messaging. The call was connected, but no one
answered. And her messages were left unread.
Now, the both of them grew anxious.
They would not be anxious like this if this was some other day.
However, today was the chairman's election meeting of Vinci Rivera, so both of them going missing at a time like
this made them overthink.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVermont immediately suspected that Chandler might be the person behind this.
Chandler and Keegan were equally capable in the company, and both of them had a significant chance of winning
the election. A few years ago, Chandler was more influential and powerful than Keegan, but things had changed.
Although the Saun family seemed as though they did not care about the election even after Stella's return to the
family, they were secretly doing a lot of things to support Keegan.
Anyone with a clear mind could see who the better chairman would be. No matter how hard Chandler tried to
maintain his relationship with other shareholders, they were still more concerned about their personal interests. So,
even before the meeting started, many of them had already switched sides.
If Keegan did not arrive at the meeting in time and it was canceled, his reputation would definitely take a hit. Then,
Chandler would probably initiate an impeachment protocol along with other shareholders, causing the next election
to be delayed indefinitely.
The longer it dragged on, the harder it would be for Keegan to get rid of Chandler.
Keegan had prepared for this battle for so long, yet he went missing on the most important day. Vermont could not
convince himself that it had nothing to do with Chandler.
Vermont and Felicity acted separately, with one going to Vinci Rivera to check on things, while the other contacted
Stella's friends and family to check if anyone knew where she went.
Aldor was asked to go upstairs, but the person who was supposed to give him the documents was nowhere to be
seen.
Aldor was not the only one coming to collect the documents, so he figured that it would be inappropriate for
him to rush that person. He stared at his watch anxiously, hoping to hear from Keegan soon.
When he finally got the documents, there were only about ten minutes until the meeting started.
Vermont was squatting down outside of Vinci Rivera's office. He could see some bloodstains on the ground and

thermos anywhere and thought that the janitor had probably taken it away.
He thought about the apple porridge that Felicity had mentioned earlier and said in a hoarse voice, "Aldor,
something bad has most probably happened to them."
Aldor's expression changed.
Someone urged Aldor to go upstairs and prepare for the meeting, as it was going to start soon.
Aldor wiped his sweat away and tried to calm himself down. "Mr. Snyder, please call the police to find them. I'll take
care of the meeting and tell Mrs. Kane Sr. about this."
"Sure."
Stella had inhaled some hallucinogenic substance, but she did not lose consciousness because she had held her
breath. However, her limbs felt weak, and she did not dare to move or open her eyes.
The sight of Keegan covered in blood was still vivid in her mind. She had no idea how bad his injuries were. He was
right beside her, but she could not even bring herself to look at him.
She was terrified, but she tried her best to keep her emotions in check and remain calm.
