On the other hand, Asher had been secretly following the factory fire's subsequent development since his departure.
I want to know what happened to Toby and Sonia and whether they are injured or have died as I hoped! It would be preferable if they died, but I'll be happy if they are hurt too. Of course, it would be best to burn them beyond recognition.
Asher sat in front of a computer with a glass of red wine, pondering calmly while frequently refreshing the browser to read about the fire's consequences.
However, no matter how hard he looked, there was no news of a fire on the Internet.
He couldn't know how Toby and Sonia were without the news and this irritated him.
Logically speaking, that should not happen.
It was the information age. As a result, everything would be quickly uploaded on the Internet and made public.
It was unfathomable that the factory fire incident had not been widely publicized even after such a long time, given how serious it was. The media would surely have written articles on it.
Of course, Asher was no dummy. He instantly realized that someone had intervened to put out the fire and suppress the information.
As such, there was no news on the Internet.
The Fuller Group was the only entity capable of doing it. Nobody else had the authority to keep the news from leaking.
At that thought, Asher furiously banged the wine glass on the table.
Without the news and not knowing Toby and Sonia's situation, it was akin to Asher being blind and not knowing what to do next.
However, it was not the end of the world.
Asher took out his phone and called his men, asking them to go to the big hospitals and see whether they had admitted a couple rescued from a fire.
He could still figure out the couple's situation as long as he knew that.
After issuing the command, Asher made phone calls to others he knew, asking if they had heard about the fire that night.
Of course, when he asked, he skillfully avoided mentioning the incident at the Paradigm Factory. Instead, he inquired whether there was a fire anywhere that night.
However, Asher received only a negative response.
It was clear from this that the Fuller Group had rigorously prohibited the news from escaping, so much so that even the inner circle was unaware of it.
Of course, he also knew why the Fuller Group had hidden the news.
Asher intended to spread the news online to cause the company difficulties.
However, he was fully aware that he would be caught red-handed if he did this. He would be apprehended by the Internet police very quickly.
After all, only the person who started the fire would know and broadcast the news online after the company had taken such measures.
So, all he could do was helplessly watch while the Fuller Group blocked the news. He was unable to accept it.
Asher's mood plummeted after getting the news from the prior phone conversation.
They had previously asked if any of the larger hospitals had admitted patients rescued from the fire tonight, and the answer was yes.
After all, there would be fires breaking out all over the place, including Seafield.
However, the places that his guys enquired about were not the factory. The people who sought medical attention were either a family of three or elderly men, and none of them matched Toby and Sonia's descriptions.
It was the same as having no news at all.
At that point, Asher turned gloomy and he raised his head to drink the entire cup of wine in one gulp, knowing that it was impossible to know Toby and Sonia's situation that night.
Well, I'll work it out tomorrow, Asher thought with displeasure.
However, before he could inquire about Toby's and Sonia's status, he was arrested the next day at the entrance of Paradigm Co. by the police.
It surprised everyone in Paradigm and the paparazzi that waited outside regardless of the weather.
The word that the president of Paradigm Co. had been arrested quickly spread like wildfire and it became much more popular than Lynette's murder case.
