Relentless Pursuit After Divorce
Chapter 889. Who leaked this secret?

Chapter 889: 889. Who leaked this secret?

Although nobody said it out loud, everyone unanimously believed that since Adam Jones had not been found despite the thorough search of the entire tributary, it was very likely he had been swept into the Atlantic Ocean already.

Searching for one person in an ocean area that spans over 70 million square kilometers is like looking for a needle in a haystack, essentially an impossible task.

But since people were willing to pay for the search, nobody said anything.

"Elly, do you think ... Adam might have already ..."

In the end, it was the Old Lady who couldn’t hold back any longer, not wanting to deceive herself anymore, and she was the first to ask.

Elly Campbell’s fingertips, resting by her side, suddenly trembled violently, and she bit her lower lip hard without making a sound, not letting herself lose control over such a speculation.

"No, Grandma, Adam promised to be with this child as they grow up. He even said ... if it’s a girl, he would braid her hair himself, pick out princess dresses; he can’t lie to me ..."

He can’t ...

Seeing her like this, the Old Lady, worried it might affect the child in Elly’s womb, forcibly suppressed her own guesses and pushed them back down.

But just as one wave settled, another arose.

When Adam Jones had his accident, Elly Campbell immediately had his disappearance locked down, but somehow, someone had leaked the secret.

"Breaking news, Adam Jones, President of Jones Corporation, went missing after a car accident in Boston on January 20th, according to U.S. time, and his whereabouts remain unknown to this day ..."

"Insiders reveal that Adam Jones has been missing for half a month, with his whereabouts unknown, and it is believed that there is no chance of survival ..."

"Shares of Jones Corporation plummet today, with the possibility of hitting a trading halt ..."

"..."

One piece of bad news after another came in quick succession, leaving Elly Campbell no time to prepare, catching her completely off guard.

"Do you know where the news was released from?"

Elly Campbell looked at Robert Green, standing in front of her, with a stern expression and asked coldly.

"The media received the tip-off emails all at once. The sender masked the real IP address with several layers of firewalls, and our people have been gradually breaking through them, but the last two layers of firewalls just can’t be breached, so ..."

Robert Green glanced at Elly Campbell somewhat helplessly and said, "We haven’t found out exactly where the email originally came from."

Elly Campbell knew that Adam Jones had many talents working for him, and if even Adam’s people couldn’t trace the email’s IP address, it meant that the opponent was formidable and highly skilled.

Now, not even able to find out who the opponent was, it was impossible to know where to begin the investigation.

Elly Campbell pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling a headache coming on, as she listened to Robert Green continue, "Madam, aside from locating the President, there’s another very important matter—we need to stabilize Jones Corporation first."

As he said this, Robert Green paused for a moment and carefully considered his words before continuing:

"The news of President Jones’ disappearance has already spread, and Jones Corporation’s share price has been falling. It will likely hit a trading halt before long, so we have to stabilize Jones Corporation first. As for the President, our people will continue the search."

Elly Campbell looked at Robert Green, speaking thoughtfully, "Are you suggesting I take over the management of Jones Corporation?"

Robert Green nodded without hesitation, "Right now, Jones Corporation is like a dragon without a head. People on the board are definitely getting restless, wanting to take over the President’s position. This disappearance of the President is their best opportunity, so you must return and take charge of the situation."
