Chapter 885 Chapter 885: Alexander also found this puzzling. He had relied on insider information, which boasted about the bounty order's flawless track record.
Considering that Cedric was merely a businessman, lacking any form of protection, his evasion was puzzling. Now, the intermediary Alexander had used was nowhere to be found. This situation left him with a bad feeling. Alexander had initially planned to take out Cedric first, then eliminate Joyce, clearing his path to Daniela. However, it appeared his strategy needed srevisions.
Upon her return home, Daniela was met by Lillian with unexpected news. "Joyce has disappeared." Daniela looked at Lillian. "Are you sure? She was in my office earlier today." Lillian confirmed with a nod and showed Daniela a video. The surveillance footage captured Joyce walking through a mall when suddenly, a battered, nondescript van pulled up alongside her. Within moments, she was pulled into the vehicle.

Lillian explained, “This appears to be a well-planned abduction. The van managed to evade all cameras while exiting. As of now, there's no sign of Joyce." Daniela's expression turned serious. There was something particularly strange about this event.
Lillian continued, “Fairburne Group is in chaos. There's widespread speculation about who will inherit Joyce's assets should anything happen to her." Since Joyce had no children and Katrina had passed away, the only remaining relative was Caiden, still officially recorded as family with Joyce. That, indeed, was a stroke of luck. Lillian smiled broadly. "Daniela, given that Caiden is under psychiatric care and you're his only child, you have a legitimate claim to this wealth." Her excitement was evident.

"If someone orchestrated this entire situation, do you really think they'd simply allow Caiden orto inherit everything without a challenge? Just wait. The person responsible will show themselves eventually." Daniela's insight was remarkably accurate.
Later that day, Fairburne Group convened an urgent press conference.
A mysterious figure, dressed in a black suit and wearing a mask, declared on camera that he would act as the interim chairman of Fairburne Group during Joyce's absence. He added that should Joyce be officially declared deceased, he would legally inherit all her assets.
This announcement stunned the public, sparking speculation about the masked man's identity.
Watching the broadcast, Daniela focused intently on the man's eyes, which were visible behind the large mask. They looked remarkably similar to Cedric's.

Others also noticed the resemblance and began comparing photos of Cedric. Soon, rumors spread that Cedric had inherited Joyce's vast fortune. Resourceful individuals even uncovered video footage of Joyce at Phillips Group, just an hour before she vanished.
This fueled widespread speculation that Cedric was, in fact, the new m chairman of Fairburne Group. Public NO curiosity turned the situation into a tic love triangle, and an intense battle for power began to emerge.
However, following the press conference, the interim chairman withdrew from the public eye This absence only intensified the rumors, leading people to conclude that Cedric must have stepped back from public appearances because he couldn't juggle two roles.
