Chapter 42: The Heir Takes Command"Find him!"Adrian's voice echoed through the security office.Marcus stood before him, holding a tablet while several security personnel waited for instructions."Young Master, we've already dispatched teams to Edward's residence and the surrounding areas. His vehicle was found abandoned near the eastern highway. The driver is receiving medical attention.""What about Edward?""No trace of him yet."Adrian clenched his jaw."Someone took him because of the documents he gave us. I want every camera along that highway examined. Check nearby hotels, fuel stations and private properties. Don't leave anything unexplored.""Understood.""And Marcus?""Yes?""Find out whether the people responsible are connected to the West family. I don't want anyone inside our headquarters interfering with this investigation."Marcus nodded.Adrian turned towards the other security officers."Listen carefully. Nobody is to discuss Edward's disappearance outside this room
Chapter forty one
"Peter Lawson is officially dead?"Adrian looked at Marcus, who nodded."According to the government records, he died four years ago in a car accident. His death certificate was issued, and his body was supposedly identified by a family member.""Supposedly?""The identification process was completed, but there are inconsistencies in the report. The accident happened on a deserted road, and the vehicle was badly damaged. The body was identified through personal belongings."Adrian placed the photograph on his desk."Yet this same man was involved in Henry Cole's disappearance?""That's what the evidence suggests.""Then either someone is using his identity or his death was never what the official records claim."Marcus nodded."I've requested the original accident report.""Good. I also want to know who identified the body. Find his relatives and establish whether they actually saw him after the accident.""I'll handle it."Adrian picked up another document."Now, what happened to the

Adrian stared at Marcus through the phone."Let me understand you correctly. The bank employee wants me to bring Caleb Morgan to the meeting?""Yes, Young Master.""Does he know Caleb has been missing for five years?""He does. In fact, he claims Caleb is the only person who can confirm what happened at the bank."Adrian frowned."Did you explain that we haven't found him?""I did, but he refused to discuss anything further."Adrian walked towards his study."What's his name?""Edward Mills. He was a senior account officer at the London branch where the withdrawal was made.""Is he still employed there?""No. He retired two years ago.""Where is he now?""He's currently living outside London. I have his address."Adrian stopped walking."How did you contact him?""Through an old professional connection. He initially refused to speak, but after I mentioned Samuel Reed's name, he agreed to cooperate."Adrian's expression changed."Samuel?""Yes. He seemed surprised when I mentioned him.
Chapter thirty nine
Adrian remained silent after hearing his grandfather's words."My personal assistant?""Yes," Richard replied. "Samuel's package was delivered to a man who worked directly for you. His name was Caleb Morgan."Adrian slowly sat down.Caleb Morgan.He remembered the man clearly. Caleb had worked for him for almost three years before he left the West family. He was responsible for managing his appointments, handling confidential correspondence and arranging several of his private affairs.More importantly, Caleb had been one of the few people Adrian trusted completely."What happened to him?" Adrian asked."According to the records, he resigned the week you left."Adrian frowned."I remember him resigning, but I never knew why. I was already preparing to leave the family. He simply submitted his resignation and disappeared.""Did he give you a reason?""No. He said he had personal matters to attend to."Richard sighed."Then he vanished with Samuel's package."Adrian leaned forward."Gra
Chapter thirty eight
Adrian stared at the document Marcus had placed before him. Richard West. His grandfather's name appeared clearly on the access record. "When exactly did he access Samuel's computer?" Adrian asked. "Three months after Samuel's death." "Was he alone?" "We haven't confirmed that. The security cameras from that period were removed during the renovation of the administrative department." Adrian leaned back. "Three months after Samuel died, and nobody thought it was important to mention this?" Marcus remained silent. Adrian picked up his phone. "Get Richard on the line." A few minutes later, the call connected. "Adrian?" "Grandfather, I need to ask you something." "Go ahead." "Did you access Samuel Reed's computer three months after his death?" There was a brief silence. "Yes." Adrian's expression hardened. "Why didn't you tell me?" "Because I didn't find what I was looking for." "What were you looking for?" Richard sighed. "Samuel left something behind before he di
Chapter thirty seven
Adrian read the appointment confirmation again. Samuel Reed. The name belonged to a man who had been dead for five years. Yet, according to the document Vanessa had just sent, Samuel had arranged her meeting with Victor shortly before his murder. "Marcus, come here." Marcus entered the study almost immediately. "Yes, Young Master?" Adrian turned the laptop towards him. "Look at this." Marcus examined the screenshot. "That's Samuel Reed's name." "Exactly. Vanessa claims she received this confirmation before visiting Victor. I want you to establish whether Samuel actually arranged the meeting." Marcus studied the document more carefully. "There's something strange about the confirmation." "What?" "The appointment was approved using an administrative account, but the message carries Samuel's name. We need to verify whether he personally sent it." "Can you do that?" "I'll need access to the old email records." "Get it. And Marcus, I want the original docum
