章 273: TIME IS RUNNING OUT

[Music Recommendation: Arcade ~ Duncan Laurence]

Victor sat beside Augustine in the lavish living room, listening intently as his father discussed business with his associates. It had only been a few days since he moved in with his father, and the isolation was suffocating. All communication with the outside world was strictly prohibited, leaving him unable to contact Raven or even check on Maya's well-being. The memory of his hurtful words to Maya still haunted him, and he longed to explain and make amends.

Augustine's voice broke into his thoughts, "I want to retire, it's time for my son to take over The Foundation." Victor's eyes snapped towards his father, his mind racing with objections. He had no intention of leading the company; his sole focus was rescuing Maya and escaping.
