Sabrina chuckled, but when she recalled the matter Timothy brought up over breakfast,
she withdrew her smile. "I know it's great that two of our companies will be working
together, but I hope you're not trying to help Gulliver Group for my sake. You really don't
have to do this."
Sabrina chuckled, but when she recalled the matter Timothy brought up over breakfast,
she withdrew her smile. "I know it's great that two of our companies will be working

Meanwhile, at Reinhart Group, the secretary entered the office that afternoon with a file.
"Mr. Reinhart, here's the business proposal sent to us from Gulliver Group."
"Got it. Just leave it on the table," Timothy uttered without raising his head.
Hence, the secretary left after placing the document on the table. Shortly after she left, he
finished up his remaining tasks and began reading the proposal that had been sitting on
the table. He couldn't deny that the proposal was well written as it was detailed and
meticulous.
At that moment, Sabrina entered the room in a hurry. "Tim, Mr., and Mrs. Tompkins are
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthere."
"Why are they here?" Timothy looked at her with puzzlement.
She answered truthfully, "They said Mr. Henry hasn't been home for two days, and his
phone has been unreachable. They thought something might have happened to him, so
they came here to check."
When he heard that, he couldn't help feeling ominous. "Did you try looking for him?"
"Yes, but he's not in the office. Could something have happened to him?" Sabrina looked
at him with concern.
Sabrina chuckled, but when she recalled the matter Timothy brought up over breakfast,
she withdrew her smile. "I know it's great that two of our companies will be working
together, but I hope you're not trying to help Gulliver Group for my sake. You really don't
have to do this."
He understood the meaning behind her words and felt worried too. "Call the police
immediately and report him missing because he has been missing for two days."
Before she could do that, however, his phone on the table rang. It was a call from Harper.
"Is something the matter?"
"Mr. Reinhart, it's been three days. Have you decided whether to collaborate or sell the
core technology to me?" Harper's nonchalant voice sounded over the phone.
"Don't even dream about it, Mr. Quinn," Timothy retorted coldly.
"Is that so? What a pity." Harper sighed and abruptly changed the subject with a chuckle.
"By the way, I met your partner and best friend in a club two nights ago. Is he okay? I
remember he got so drunk that he struggled to walk properly."
As soon as he said that, Timothy's expression sank. "Were you the one who kidnapped
him?" he questioned through gritted teeth as he exuded a murderous aura.
Then, Harper let out another chuckle. "What are you talking about? Why should I kidnap
your partner? Anyway, if you're not interested in the collaboration, I won't bother you with
work anymore." With that, he hung up the call.
Timothy clenched his phone hard with a look of dismay. Although Harper didn't admit it,
Timothy's intuition told him Henry's disappearance was related to Harper. However, he
had no evidence to support his claim.
Noticing the look of displeasure on his face, Sabrina asked, "What's wrong?"
"Henry may have been kidnapped by Harper." He didn't intend to keep anything from her,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmso he told her everything that was said during the phone call earlier.
She was enraged upon hearing that. "How could he be so despicable and shameless?
What should we do now?"
"Let's meet Mr. and Mrs. Tompkins for now." While saying that, Timothy headed to the
guest lounge.
On the other hand, Mr. and Mrs. Tompkins were sitting restlessly on the couch. When they
saw Timothy, they hurriedly got up and asked him, "Tim, do you know where Henry could
have gone?"
"He is fine. Don't worry. I promise to bring him back to you later," he reassured them.
However, the two elders were still uneasy. "Where on earth did he go? Why didn't he pick
up our call?"
"His phone ran out of battery, but he's currently at a friend's house. I have confirmed with
the friend and will head over to pick him up shortly." Timothy dared not tell them the truth
as he was worried they might be unable to take it. Thus, he tried to persuade them to go
back home.
After sending Henry's parents off, he and Sabrina returned to the office again.
"Are you planning to meet Harper?" she asked him as soon as they entered the office.
