The sheer scale of the interests tied to Max was beyond ordinary comprehension. If something truly happened to him, the resulting collapse of order would be an absolute disaster for everyone involved, especially the Hawthorne family, who would suffer an unprecedented, devastating blow.
"The news of Max's disappearance can be contained domestically, as the Hawthornes can step in to maintain stability," Darin explained, his voice steady and reassuring. "The main issue is handling the international fallout, but Jeremy is already on his way."
Listening to Darin's calm logic, Felicia felt her racing heart gradually settle. She sat down on the sofa to eat the breakfast Terry had brought.
"Eat up," Darin urged gently. "You can only face what comes next if you take care of your body."
Felicia nodded and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"Yes, I grabbed some food at the hotel."
Felicia said no more and quietly focused on her meal while Darin picked up the documents on the coffee table to review.
At eight o'clock, the executive meeting commenced. Since Darin owned shares, his presence in the boardroom was entirely justified. The executives present were all high ranking figures within the company. They were familiar with Darin but did not recognize Felicia, so Terry officially introduced her to the room.
Just as the meeting began, Felicia's phone rang. She offered a quick apology to the room, stepped out into the hallway, and answered the call.
"Anne," she greeted softly.
"Mom," Anne's bright voice came through the speaker. "I was downstairs playing with my cousins earlier, so I missed your call."
"It is alright. I just wanted to ask you a quick question. Do you happen to know the password to Dad's computer?"
