The Man Who Waited vs. The Man Who Wasted novel Chapter 297

"Your sister told you?" Jocelyn asked.

"I'm very sorry. Even though Claire wasn't driving, she was in the car when it happened. She saw the whole thing but couldn't do anything to stop it."

Jocelyn clenched her fists, forcing down the rage bubbling inside her.

"Can we meet in person?"

"Of course," Adrian answered without hesitation. "Where are you? I'll come pick you up."

"No need. You're at the Astoria, right? I'll come to you."

Without the passcode to get inside the building, Adrian had no choice but to wait in his car.

Todd had just finished up a phone call.

"Mr. Lowell, we've finally got a lead on that 'Storm' character we've been trying to track down."

Adrian's eyes lit up. "Give me the details."

"That pixelated game Vanguard Tech just bought and launched? The lead designer is Storm."

Adrian's expression turned frigid.

"We reached out to him online multiple times trying to buy that game, and he completely ignored us. How did it end up with Vanguard Tech? Does he really think Momentum AI is second-rate compared to some new company just setting up shop here?"

Todd was just as perplexed.

"Do you think they might personally know Mr. Vance at Vanguard Tech?"

Adrian scoffed dismissively. "If we couldn't track them down, there's no way Julian Vance could."

"Then it really makes no sense," Todd replied. "Storm wasn't the least bit interested in our incredibly generous offers, but they handed it right over to Vanguard."

"Should we keep trying to find out who Storm really is, sir?"

Adrian's gaze turned dangerously cold.

"Of course we're going to keep digging. I want to see exactly who this nobody is that thinks they can disrespect Momentum AI like this."

Seeing Jocelyn's car pull up, Adrian stepped out of his vehicle.

As soon as she parked, he rushed over to open her door, playing the perfect gentleman.

Jocelyn stepped out, her expression unreadable.

"You really didn't want me to know where you live that badly? You made yourself drive all the way out here," Adrian remarked.

Jocelyn didn't indulge him. "Let's go inside."

She unlocked the apartment door.

The space felt a little empty.
