I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 610

Those directly involved had no time for online chatter. They were working with the police, providing manpower, supplies, and boats to aid in the search, trying to save as many people as possible within the critical golden hours.

However, after three days of searching, only twenty-one people had been recovered. Three were alive, eighteen were dead, and two were still missing.

The survivors had injuries ranging from minor to severe. Experts explained they were lucky: other cars hit the water first, breaking the surface tension, so they didn't lose consciousness on impact. They were also able to escape through open windows and knew how to swim.

Most of the deceased had died from drowning or lack of oxygen.

As for the two missing individuals, one was Harold, a bodyguard from Aether Studio. The other was Zephyra, the ex-wife of Aether Studio's director.

The search had extended down the Ixia River, but there was still no sign of them.

The police said the chances of finding them alive were slim and to prepare for the worst. Horace refused to give up and insisted on continuing the search.

For three whole days, Horace waited by the water for news, but Steven never showed his face again.

When his bodyguards' bodies were recovered, it was his assistant who handled the compensation. Meanwhile, the company was in turmoil. Projects were being poached, leading to heavy losses, and Thomas was strutting around the office like he owned the place. People were starting to whisper that a storm was brewing at Aether Studio.

Thomas was smug, dressing in sharp suits just like Steven, cutting a rather conspicuous figure.

In his office, Mr. Lee was briefing Thomas. The negative press against Steven was sufficient. Several partners and board members were already leaning their way. There was no need to add more fuel to the fire. It was time for Thomas to make his move with a new, game-changing partnership.

Just like Steven did years ago.
