wouldn't disappear without reason during such a crucial time. There must be something more important holding
him back. Go ahead confidently; he won't misunderstand."
Marie nodded. "Yes, Joshua, and besides, you've been handling the company's matters lately. It's normal for you
to step in. Jared will handle the rest when he returns. Don't worry."
Hearing his parents’ reassurance, Joshua finally let go of his doubts. "Alright, | understand."

fifteen percent remained. He listened to Tina's voice intermittently through his earpiece, staring at his
smartphone screen. It displayed a photo of Tina captured by millions of viewers during a live broadcast-a photo
only he had saved. His fingertips repeatedly brushed across Tina's features on the screen, as if this gesture could
fortify his will to keep persevering. "Uncle, make a sound." Tina checked on Jared's safety once again. To
conserve oxygen, Jared tapped intermittently on his microphone. *I'm here, missing you.* Tina smiled slightly,
"Hmm, | miss you too, only seven hundred meters to go." The further they dug, the less depth the bombs
needed to destroy, since the conditions behind the collapse were unknown and required utmost caution. Each of
Tina's calculations had to be more precise, validated at least three times before she dared issue an order. With
Jared's life at stake, she could not afford to rush or take risks.
Nathan and Hayden had collapsed on the ground, unable to straighten their backs, both watching Tina and Paula
White's rapid calculations with a touch of envy. "To be a mental worker, must be nice," Hayden said, pouring
most of a bottle of water over his head. Nathan caught his breath, "The pressure they're under is beyond our
imagination." Hayden sat up, patted Nathan on the head, "True, let's not lie around, keep going."
Inside the company. A large meeting was set. Joshua, dressed in a bespoke dark suit and gold-rimmed glasses,
looked both gentle and regally authoritative from afar. Abigail watched from a distance, her heart swelling with
joy. After Joshua and his secretary finalized all the procedures, the meeting was ready to start.
As the shareholders and all the media saw Joshua emerge from behind, they were momentarily taken aback.

am the acting director, Joshua." The media's flashbulbs flickered like waves, and photos of Joshua swiftly spread
across all networks. The financial channels broadcasted news that no longer referred to him as the acting
director but as the Chairman of the Board, Joshua, attending the conference!
Joshua quickly took control of all the company's channel resources and finances of the subsidiaries. Yet, once
back home, he was still the uncle worried about his missing nephew. Upon entering, he asked, "Any news of
Jared yet?" Logan shook his head, "Everyone possible has been sent out, and there's no news from the police
either. Not just Jared and Tina, even the young master of the Cohen family is missing, no idea where he went."
Joshua sat on the sofa, his hands clasped and thumbs rubbing together as if trying to spark a fire. After a long
moment, he said, "Dad, I'm worried someone is targeting our Farrell family. First Orson's car accident, nearly
fatal, then a knife placed at my bed-it's twe took precautions." Logan nodded, "You're right, we can't take it
lightly anymore."
