Chapter 540:

“Amelia, are you at the office p>

Wyatt’s voice carried a note of concern as his eyes, through the phone’s lens, took in the familiar backdrop of her workspace. Before Amelia could respond, Wyatt continued, “Is something wrong at your company p>

“We’ve uncovered something,” Davin replied, breathless from rushing to Wyatt’s office. “Leandro, Brightmore Group’s CEO, is in Kretol p>

Wyatt’s eyes flickered with surprise. After a moment’s pause, he asked, “Did you find out why he is here p>

“Not yet,” Davin admitted. “But whispers suggest that he came to Kretol in search of someone p>
