Chapter 394: Missing Without a Trace
The secretary’s voice remained polite. "Mr. Nelson, please hold on. Mr. Bowen has something he’d like to discuss with you."
Eric narrowed his eyes, waiting. After a brief pause, a smooth, fluent voice in the language of Country W greeted him.
"Hello, Mr. Nelson. This is Bowen. My apologies for not personally receiving you a few days ago. I wanted to extend a formal apology regarding Miss Davis, Miller’s adopted daughter, whose actions unjustly landed Mrs. Nelson in trouble. I was wondering if we could meet to discuss this further."
Bowen’s tone was courteous, his posture deferential.
Eric’s lips curled into a sardonic smile. "Mr. Bowen, my wife is already out of jail. Don’t you think your apology comes a little late? But... I hope there are no more petty tricks aimed at harming the interests of Nelson Group."
"Of course, of course!" Bowen replied, his words smooth and practiced. "Regarding the incidents that occurred, I must sincerely apologize. Due to some oversight, our company ended up with a few disloyal individuals, which led to strained relations between us. I hope you can let bygones be bygones."
Bowen was indeed a cunning old fox. No matter how many underhanded schemes the Millers had pulled, he shifted all blame onto a group of "incompetent subordinates" and vowed to purge any moles from his organization. He even expressed a desire to maintain a cooperative relationship with Eric.
Eric offered a perfunctory response. He wasn’t fooled. He knew Bowen would gladly see Nelson Group crushed overnight if given the chance.
