Chapter 553 Handling Company Affairs on Behalf
Colbert furrowed his brow and said in a deep voice, "We've been walking for an hour and ended up
back here. If I'm not mistaken, this place is likely designed like a maze."
Eudora, no longer in the mood to argue with Colbert, stood still with a troubled expression. She slowly
closed her eyes and carefully recalled the paths they had taken earlier.
"Well then, let's go through it again, but we need to leave a mark this time."
"That's exactly what I had in mind."
They held hands and set off once more.
Fortunately, there were oil lamps on the walls of the secret room, allowing them to see the path clearly.
At each turn they took, Colbert would use the oil lamp wick to darken the wall, leaving a black mark.
Eudora took off an earring from her ear and used the needle of the earring to mark the number "1" on
the black mark left by Colbert.
They marked "2" in the second corner.
"You're very clever."
Colbert praised Eudora generously. He felt as if he had found a treasure in her, full of wisdom and
secrets, arousing his curiosity and anticipation even more.
Meanwhile, the Steele family discovered that Eudora and Colbert were missing. They tried calling but
couldn't get through.
Belinda and Corey realized that the two of them were in danger, so they immediately checked the
surveillance footage of the Steele Mansion to find them.
Unfortunately, the surveillance only covered the front yard and backyard of the Steele Mansion. The
rest of the areas were turned off.
In the video, Colbert and Eudora were seen walking out of the reception room one after the other.
And then...
They couldn't find any more information.
"Search for them! Secretly deploy personnel immediately, at any cost, to find Colbert and Eudora,"
Belinda ordered.
Belinda sat in her chair, slammed the table with her hand, and looked worried. "Corey, book a flight
ticket overseas immediately under Colbert's name. Tell the public that he's going abroad on a business
trip and won't be back for a while. We don't want this information to leak and shake the confidence of
the company."
"Yes, Madam Steele."
Corey nodded and immediately went to handle the matter.
As the CEO of the Sinton Group, Colbert had to deal with countless tasks every day.
His usual workload was already busy, but in the past few days, the incident on his wedding day and
Alva's self-exposure at Belinda's banquet today caused a huge uproar.novelbin
Although it wouldn't cause any significant financial loss to the Steele family, it attracted a lot of media
attention. Many media outlets were waiting to interview Colbert.
If news of Colbert's disappearance were to leak even a little, the media reporters would sensationalize
it and create a series of serious consequences.
After Corey left, Belinda turned to Derek and asked, "Derek, can you take care of the company during
these days?"
Derek had a troubled expression and sighed, "Since Colbert is in trouble, I must take care of it on his
behalf. We're family, and it's what I should do."
He slightly lowered his head, and at that moment, a flicker of sinister coldness appeared in his eyes.
