Elisa couldn't help but think about Bella and the rest. The company must be in utter chaos now, and Paul would seize the chance to take control. And that's precisely what happened.
No one had foreseen the company would undergo such a massive upheaval following the celebration banquet.
Elisa's sudden disappearance into the sea and various clues all pointed to Bella's involvement. She had become a prime suspect and was currently undergoing questioning at the police station.
The authorities had stepped in, and even the coast guard had joined the search for Elisa, but she remained untraceable. The night felt endless, and despite two full days of searching, the search radius had stretched to twenty kilometers, yet not a shred of evidence had emerged.
In truth, everyone was grappling with the harsh reality that Elisa's chances of making it were slim...
As for whether Bella held the key to Elisa's fate, opinions were sharply divided.
Back at the office, a voice claimed, "It's Bella, no doubt about it. There's evidence and witnesses. If it's not her, then who? She's probably gunning for control, but Ms. Benett underestimated her."
Others countered, "How could that be? Everyone knows Ms. Wickam and Ms. Benett were thick as thieves. With Ms. Benett in the picture, Ms. Wickam's future would've been golden. She can't be that delusional, right? If I were her, I'd stick to Ms. Benett like glue."
"Ms. Wickam's no longer calling the shots,"
Rochelle's sharp voice interjected as she breezed into the office area, exuding a palpable bitterness.
Her eyes swept across the room, eventually locking onto the individual who had spoken moments earlier.
Her lips twitched slightly as she added, "If you're so hell-bent on walking the same path as Elisa, I won't be the one to hold you back."
The person promptly clammed up, reluctant to utter another word.
Rochelle's entrance brought a sudden silence to the room. With Elisa gone, Paul's power surged, and Bella was still scrutinized. Naturally, Rochelle had reclaimed her position.
