Chapter: 449

He had tried calling Bethany multiple times, but her phone was turned off.

The plane landed at Brokdon Airport. Before disembarking, Colt provided Ryan with the phone numbers of Jaden and Liza.

Ryan called Jaden while still on the plane.

“I'm Ryan. What happened last night? Where is Bethany?"

“IT don't know. I escorted Liza back to the hotel and planned to return for Ms. Holt, but she was nowhere to be found. She's not answering her phone, and there was no one left in the restaurant."

By the time Jaden had rushed back, even Brenden and his boss had disappeared.

"Have you had any contact with her since? Did she return to the hotel where you're staying?"

“No. I just knocked on her door, but there was no response.”

“Maybe she's passed out! Have the hotel staff open the door."

Jaden hesitated and said, “I'm not sure that's appropriate."

He was concerned about the implications if he encountered a situation that was not meant for his eyes. Such an incident could make future interactions awkward.

Ryan quickly realized the potential issue. “What about Liza? Could she check on Bethany?"

"Okay, I'll wake her up. But just so you know, Liza was also quite affected by the wine. It was unusually potent. She didn't drink much but was visibly intoxicated." Jaden, who normally could handle his liquor, felt dizzy after just a few sips.

This revelation infuriated Ryan. "I won't let this slide! Owlimited Company is clearly not showing us any respect. How dare they treat my staff this way!"

He was determined to confront Owlimited Company and ensure they faced consequences for their actions.

Ryan regretted sending Bethany over now.

He knew how men in the business world could be, and how pretty Bethany was.

Ryan said, "If they dare harm Bethany in any way, I'll ensure Owlimited Company faces severe consequences!"

After ending the call, Ryan set off for Owlimited Company unannounced, intending to catch them by surprise.

He wished he had the authority to shut down Owlimited Company immediately, but he didn't have that kind of power.

Ryan frowned, noticing the clear contrast between himself and Jonathan.

For Jonathan, closing down Owlimited Company would be a simple matter of giving the order.

While others continued their desperate search for Bethany, she woke up in her hotel room around noon.

As she became more aware, she felt the throbbing discomfort of a hangover and sore muscles. Her temples seemed ready to burst.
