Chapter 1659
The executive across from Aldor said, "Surely, you must be joking. I haven't heard any updates from the search and
rescue team."
"It's not Mr. Kane, but someone he designated," Aldor explained.
The man chuckled lightly, "To my knowledge, Mr. Kane has never officially appointed someone to lead in his
absence. It's odd that this is only being brought up now, especially since he's been missing for quite a while. Are you
sure he designated this individual, or was it your choice, Aldor?"
Aldor glanced at the man, his expression composed, "Mr. Kane is accustomed to being prepared for any situation. If
he took the step to create a will, it's reasonable to assume he would also consider appointing a representative. He
chose the current acting representative through a legally binding contract overseen by a trusted lawyer. In his
absence, they are authorized to attend crucial company meetings on his behalf. Any decisions made by them

The executive was momentarily taken aback, looking somewhat disgruntled.
Jackson glanced at Aldor and casually remarked, 'Without the board's approval, I think they can refuse to
acknowledge the appointed representative."
Aldor nodded, "For someone at your professional level, indeed they can. However, given Mr. Kane's position in the
company, he doesn't need to inform the board. He only needs to pledge certain assets to the company to designate
a representative."
He opened the folder before him and said, "This is the asset pledge agreement Mr. Kane used. You may take a
look."
Jackson remained unruffled. He could sense Aldor's disdain for him in the tone of his voice.
As he was about to tell him off, Chandler spoke up, "Being an acting representative doesn't exempt them from
following company policies. Failure to arrive on time should be automatically deemed a forfeit."
Aldor furrowed his brows.
As per company guidelines, no one could enter the meeting room after fifteen minutes from the allocated time;
tardiness resulted in automatic forfeiture. It was apparent that the board did not want the acting representative to
attend this meeting.
Aldor was about to speak when someone pushed the door open. A woman's voice echoed in the ears of everyone
present, "I'm sorry for being late. I was looking for something, and it took longer than expected. Hello everyone. I'm
Stella Hall, Alex's temporary leader."
Alex was the codename for Keegan's research and development team.
The unexpected introduction left many people puzzled.
They had assumed that the person Keegan designated would be a high-ranking executive of the company. Never in
their wildest dreams did they expect that the person he appointed was a woman who had never worked in this field
before.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe executives immediately broke out into discussion.
"Who is this woman? Why did Mr. Kane appoint her to represent him?"
"She's Mr. Kane's ex-wife and also Wenham's daughter. I heard she's an actress."
"Actress? You must be kidding me."
"Mr. Kane is missing because of her, they say. With his love- struck mindset, it's not surprising he would designate
her as his acting representative."
"This is a serious matter. He's playing with the company's future."
Despite being surrounded by all the talk, Stella remained composed as if she had not heard a thing. She walked
straight in, followed by Ted and a middle-aged man in his forties.
Aldor stood up and pulled out Keegan's seat at the table. ’ Please have a seat, Mrs. Kane," he warmly said.
Just as Stella was about to take her seat, Chandler suddenly spoke up, "Hold on, Ms. Hall. If I remember correctly,
your father's company is also involved in businesses similar to Vinci Rivera, right? Is it really appropriate for you to
be the head of Alex?"
Stella looked at him and said, "Are you concerned that I would leak Vinci Rivera's secrets to my father, Mr. Kane?"
Chandler met her gaze, "My duty extends to the entire company. I hope you understand, Ms. Hall."
