Evelyn’s grip tightened on her tablet as she stared angrily at the news article. The Dave case had brought more negative attention to the family. She clenched her as she scrolled the article. Ever since Adrian had returned, it had been one issue or the other. A sharp knock snapped her out of her thoughts. Her personal assistant walked into the office. “Ma’am, your meeting with Mr. Richardson is in an hour.” She informed her softy. Evelyn took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. “Alright. Tell the driver to get ready,” She instructed, trying to hide her frustration. Sinclair Industries had been trying to get into the renewable energy sector. Initially she had planned to strike a deal with the Delaney family, but with Adrian taking over as CEO, the deal couldn’t happen. He would have no business with the Sinclairs.

Javier ended the call and threw the car into gear. Soon he arrived at the Westside of the Stonewood district, at the address he got from the manager. Javier stepped out of the car and approached the front door cautiously. He rang the doorbell, but there was no answer. He tried again but it was the same. Still no answer. After a minute, he circled the side of the house. He looked through the dusty windows but there was no one inside. He carefully went to the back, but the door was locked.
