The Stand-In Who Burned the Script novel Chapter 50

The assistant drove like a maniac, arriving at Astra Media in barely twenty minutes. He jumped out first, respectfully pulling open the rear door.

"Mr. Granger."

Jonah stared up at the towering office building, his mood souring further.

Adjusting his suit jacket, he marched inside.

As the elevator climbed higher and higher, the crease between his brows deepened.

They had arrived.

The moment the elevator doors parted, Jonah's expression twisted into one of sheer fury. That woman... she actually had the audacity!

The assistant stood by his side, too terrified to even breathe.

How was this an office?

A pile of trash sat near the entrance. The tall potted plants by the front desk were withered, leaving only yellowing leaves and bare stems.

Peering further inside, every single piece of office equipment had been stripped away. Aside from some discarded papers littering the floor, the space was entirely gutted.

"M-Mr. Granger."

The assistant's scalp tingled with dread. "It seems Miss Fairchild has already moved out."

Jonah's hands clenched into tight fists at his sides, looking as though he were ready to crush bone. "Tell me... exactly how long has she been planning this?"

"..."

How in the world was he supposed to know that?

The assistant wore a grimace, hesitating for a long moment before tentatively offering, "Is it possible... Miss Fairchild had been planning to relocate the company for a while now?"

Then, a sudden realization struck him. "Wait, I remember Mr. Fairchild is a major shareholder in this company. As long as he doesn't sign off on it, she definitely can't move the headquarters out of Southampton. Miss Fairchild will have to come back!"

Jonah let out a chilling laugh. "Do you honestly think she's as stupid as you are?"

"..." Why was he getting dragged into this?

"If she's had this planned out, she would have anticipated all these hurdles. Dominic... is probably still completely in the dark."

Jonah took a deep breath and ordered coldly, "Let's go. We're heading to the Fairchild residence."
