The board meeting continued, albeit awkwardly.
Logan casually picked up the documents from the table, flipping through them nonchalantly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUnder Ryan's intimidating gaze, he was the only one who dared to move.
"Liam, are you sure this report is genuine?" Logan asked with a look of disbelief.
Liam immediately shouted, "This report bears the stamp of a certified institution. You can get it verified, too!" Ryan's brows furrowed deeply as his suspicious gaze slowly shifted to his grandfather.
He knew his grandfather well enough to know that if it were his first thearing about the matter, he would not be this calm.
Besides, such a psychiatric report about a member of the Salvador family was highly confidential. It was inaccessible to outsiders. Only Carrie's parents, Gregory and Shannon, would have it.
Shannon was dead. Even if Gregory disapproved of Ryan marrying Carrie, he would not have leaked his daughter's private information to prevent the marriage.
Even if Gregory did not care for his daughter, he had a strong sense of pride and would not resort to such measures. So, where did Liam get this report? "The Salvadors would've guarded such information closely and wouldn't have allowed it to be leaked. This report's origin seems dubious." Logan tossed the document back on the table, and his expression remained calm. "You might've been tricked, Liam. Don't present a fake document and make a fool of yourself. That would be a grave mistake." Liam slammed the handkerchief on the ground, his eyes filled with a dark fury as he gritted his teeth. "I have evidence proving that Salvador girl is insane!" With those words, the large screen suddenly lit up.
Everyone's eyes turned toward it.

Her piercing cries echoed through the board meeting room.
Her distraught state caused everyone present to frown in confusion and concern.
"Carrie... Carrie!" Ryan's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse as he desperately called her name. His heartfelt cries seemed futile against the thin screen that separated them into two different worlds. "Chairman Hoffman, you're seeing this, right? I wasn't slandering her at all. That girl is clearly mentally ill!" Everyone shook their heads.
No matter how they looked at it, the girl on the screen did not seem sane.
"Turn it off. That's enough. It's too noisy," Logan said, his brows tightly furrowed and his eyes filled with disgust. "Liam... Where have you taken my wife?!" Ryan's eyes were bloodshot and gloomy.
"Taken? That's a strong word to use." Ryan felt his chest burn. Ignoring everyone's eyes on him, he got up and sprinted toward the door. "Ryan! The meeting isn't over yet! Get back here!" Logan shouted at Ryan's retreating figure. Ryan stood abruptly, his faze as sharp as knives slicing into Liam's face.
Liam's smile froze. He felt like Ryan had plunged him into hell with that single look.
