Chapter 354 He Is Here
Paige stepped back two paces after speaking, tilting her head slightly and giving Andrew a wicked look.
Andrew stared at Paige. He had previously taken a serious look at her.
He had underestimated her!
Though she possessed a captivating beauty, Andrew had only ever considered her a rose with thorns.
But for her to dare threaten him like this, Andrew knew she must have a way to turn her words into reality.
As the new heir of the Ellison family, she was not just a rose with thorns but a scorpion that could kill!
Andrew seemed to be frightened by Paige's words. "Give me some time, I need to think about it."
"Alright!" Paige raised her hand to check her wristwatch. "Time is short, 15 minutes, make your decision!"
Andrew nodded in agreement, and Paige temporarily left the room.
Andrew walked up to close the door. "Do not disturb me while I'm thinking. I hate having someone around when I'm thinking."
After saying that, Andrew shut the door on Paige and the others, locking it from the inside with a click.
Paige heard the sound and immediately looked at Julian.
Julian joked, "This is the fifty-eighth floor, can he fly?"
Paige thought about it and agreed, this was indeed the fifty-eighth floor!
Paige waited outside, watching the clock for fifteen minutes.
She suspected that Andrew had connections with the Hamilton family or the Russell family. After all, even after the Ellison family was broken up, these two families had not given up on swallowing the remaining assets of the Ellison family.
So, Paige wanted to find some clues or information from Andrew.
The Hamilton family and the Russell family now stood at the pinnacle of the world economy and were enemies of the Ellison family and Pearl. Sooner or later, they would meet.
Paige just wanted to gather more information and understand their current situation before that happened.
After all, knowing oneself and the enemy led to a hundred victories!
When the fifteen minutes were up, Paige looked at Julian.
Julian knew the time was up and went straight to knock on the door. "Time's up, open the door."
After knocking, there was no response from inside.
He urged again, "Andrew, open the door, time's up."
After another round of urging, there was still no sound from inside.
Paige lost her patience and went up to knock herself. "Andrew, open the door, or I'll have someone break it down."
If Andrew didn't open the door himself, Paige would naturally have to think of another way.
But even after Paige's threat, there was still no response from inside.
Paige's face darkened. "Julian, break the door."
With that, Julian kicked the door, breaking the lock.
The door was forcibly opened, and looking inside, there was no sign of Andrew.
Paige immediately sensed something was wrong. "Where is he?"
Julian quickly checked and found an opening in the floor behind the desk.
Paige also checked. "He escaped, notify the parking lot to intercept Andrew's car immediately."
Julian followed the rope Andrew had used to escape to the room below. After asking the people in the office below, he learned that Andrew had already taken the CEO's private elevator.
The CEO's private elevator was very fast, and fifteen minutes was enough for Andrew to escape.
But Julian still immediately arranged for people to intercept him, although the result was the same.
Julian stood in front of Paige, shaking his head. "He ran too fast. I've already had people keep an eye on his residences. As soon as he shows up, we'll control him."
Paige clenched her fist. "Check how many rooms like this one have escape routes. It's shocking that the office ceiling has holes for escaping."
Julian said, "I have to admit, I kind of admire him. He even set up an escape device. Was he always ready to run?"
Paige said, "Ambitious and with a backup plan, he really thought it through. It seems he anticipated this day."
Julian asked, "What impact does his escape have on us?"
Pearl walked over, fuming. "Of course, he'll keep causing trouble from behind the scenes. Just wait for him to sabotage us. He knows the Universe Group branch better than any of us."
Pearl had already anticipated that Andrew would secretly sabotage them after escaping.
And as Andrew had said, he had been entrenched there for years, with a solid foundation!
Paige couldn't believe that Andrew had managed to escape.
Who would have thought that someone would make a hole in the floor of a room on the fifty-eighth floor just to escape?
At that moment, a subordinate came to report. "We've checked, and there are three such holes on the fifty-eighth floor alone. There are others on different floors, totaling fifteen."
In a fit of anger, Paige ordered, "Seal all the 'holes'!"
There were still Andrew's people in the group. If they weren't sealed, the next person she wanted to catch would surely escape again!
Julian said, "You heard her, get to it, seal them up!"
There would likely be more trouble ahead, which was the most frustrating part.
The subordinates immediately went to work.
Paige rubbed her forehead. "Keep a close watch on Andrew. Whether he's seeking help or doing something else, block his way within three days. For these three days, we'll stay in the group until we've cleaned it up."
Taking over the Arcadia branch was not an easy task for Paige.
Over the years, Pearl and the others had infiltrated other branches and managed them.
But Andrew, relying on family inheritance, had truly considered himself the rightful owner of the Arcadia branch.
Pearl nodded, "Yes, I'll make the arrangements."
If Paige had to stay in the group working overtime, other employees naturally couldn't escape overtime either.
Moreover, Paige would carefully consider who to keep.
Those who couldn't be kept would be directly dismissed!
Andrew's people would not stay in the company long-term, as they were a ticking time bomb for Paige.
For three days, Paige aimed to clear out all of Andrew's people.
Pearl arranged all three meals in the office.
But when lunch was delivered, Pearl opened the lunch box and felt something was off.
She had personally confirmed the menu with the kitchen.
The food looked fine, but she felt the chef's skills were different from before.
Pearl was puzzled, and the meticulous Kimberly noticed too.
"Did the kitchen get a new chef?" Kimberly asked.
As soon as Kimberly spoke, Paige put down her work, took the hot towel Julian handed her, and walked over to the lunch box.
When she saw the food on the table, Paige's hand froze.
She murmured, "He's here."
