The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 287

PRESENT DAY

Ren stared at his cellphone for a long time. He was thinking hard to make a decision whether he should call Vega before meeting Elios or not. His hand almost pressed the call button, but after a while, he decided to cancel it.

It was better if he did not involve Vega this time. Let him directly hear what Elios wanted to talk about.

***

Meanwhile, in the large RMI Almstad hall, employees were ordered to gather after lunch. Many people wondered why there was an order to gather in the hall like this all of a sudden.

“Do you know what had happened?” They asked each other, wondering endlessly. Everyone shook their heads, no one seemed to know the answer.

When they entered the hall and sat down orderly, their gaze immediately fell on the several very eye-catching people who were standing tall at the front.

There were several directors of RMI Moravia whom they recognized, as well as Mischa Rhionen whom they had seen several times in this office. However, who were the two young men standing beside him?

The appearance of the two men was very unique and it immediately made the women who had never seen them hold their breath. The two men both looked young and alike.

Both of them were tall with platinum hair. The older one cut his hair short so that he looked bolder and more dignified. The younger one let his hair grow a little longer up to his shoulders.

Were they brothers? It seemed so.

“Who are they?”

Sarah, who heard the question from her coworker, could only shrug. “I don’t know either. Anyway, that handsome man with short hair is Mr. Mischa Rhionen’s assistant. Uhm … at least that was what he said. But now I’m not sure.”

“Oh really?”

“Yes, he said his name is Alaric Rhionen. So, I think he’s a relative of Mr. Mischa Rhionen … he must be a member of the founding family of this company group.”

Her friend nodded. “Then, the other one? They look so much alike. Is he also a member of the Rhionen family?”

“It could be. Just wait, we’ll find out who they really are soon.”

They all immediately stopped talking when they saw Elios  glaring sharply at them. The guy’s cold gaze made them feel like their whole body was surrounded by a cold and dark aura.

Ugh … who was this guy? He looked young but so scary.

“I know many of you are wondering why you are asked to gather in this hall,” Elios began his words. He looked around the room and made sure everyone was paying attention to what he was saying, then he continued speaking. “My name is Elios Linden. Maybe you already know who I am.”

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly fell as silent as in a grave, before becoming very noisy. Everyone simultaneously held their breath and then talked to one another.

That was impossible!

How could he claim himself as Elios Linden? He looked so young!!!

However…

When they saw Mischa who should have been 47 years old but still looked like he was in his 30s, they changed their minds. Elios Linden should now be in his early 40s …. So if Mischa looked younger than his age, Elios Linden must be the same.

Whoaaa…

The amazed glances of the female employees instantly turned into worshiping one. They had no idea that the big boss, even in a higher position than Mischa, would be present at their small branch office.

Gosh … it felt so unbelievable. Had Mischa not been there, the employees would not have believed Elios’ words. They would think the young man was just joking or tricking them.

But Mischa did not refute his words at all. That meant … the man standing in front of everyone was indeed Elios Linden!

Altair who was standing next to his father was used to seeing this kind of reaction whenever his father introduced himself to someone new, something that his father actually rarely did.

However, their reactions always made him want to laugh. Of course, it would be very difficult for an outsider to believe that they were both father and son.

Wow … if only Lauriel was here, maybe these people would all have passed out in shock. Lauriel, Elios, and Altair look like siblings even though they were actually father, son, and grandson. Ha. The surprise showed by these people would be amazing to witness.

Fortunately, there were only Elios  and Altair. The young man cleared his throat and continued his father’s words.

“Since my father has introduced himself, I also want to introduce myself. I am Altair Linden. Elios Linden is my father,” said the young man in a calm voice.

In the hall, only Elios, Altair, and Mischa remained calm. Even Sam and several other directors already looked confused when they heard the man they knew as Alaric introduced himself as Elios Linden, they got even more confused when Altair did the same introduction.

It was still hard to believe. They were more curious about the reason why two Linden family members suddenly came to Almstad? Their branch office was very small … It was so insignificant to have two important members of the family to visit them.

Mischa’s presence alone was enough to cause an uproar and now the group owner decided to come in person? What was actually happening?

The directors could only guess. Meanwhile, in the midst of the employees sitting in the hall, Sarah suddenly felt a cold sweat pouring down her face.

She was wondering what was the connection between Prince Renald’s press conference and the meeting in the present hall. She was actually shocked to death when Alaric Rhionen, Mischa’s “assistant” suddenly introduced himself as Elios Linden.

Then, what was the point of coming here the other day and claiming to be someone else? Was he …

Was he disguising himself to dig some information …?

But, who did he try to find out?

Sarah’s heart skipped a beat as she remembered how Alaric had talked about Fae Muller several times. In fact, he also said something sarcastically to Sarah at Prince Renald’s press conference.

The girl swallowed hard. She took a good look at Altair’s appearance and felt that the young man reminded her of someone. His face was very similar to …

Could it be …?

Only now did Sarah realize that Fae Muller actually resembled Altair Linden. Ah, didn’t they report that the first Linden’s children were twins? They were fraternal twins, one boy, and one girl.

The Linden family’s only daughter was kidnapped six years ago and she had yet to be found. Many people thought she was dead …

Could it be …

Sarah felt her whole body go limp. She did not know what would happen to her if Fae was really Vega Linden. She recalled how badly she treated the girl while working at RMI Almstad.

She even spread various malicious gossip saying that Fae was Mischa’s mistress who then seduced Prince Renald at the New Year’s party until she succeeded in getting the prince to marry her.

Ugh … what would happen now? At the press conference, Prince Renald clearly denied this. He also gave evidence that he and Fae got married almost two years ago, long before the party at the palace. Prince Renald also apologized to the people of Moravia for hiding his marriage and hiding his wife from the public.

Earlier, the prince also stated that the reason for disclosing all these secrets through the press conference was to restore the stained reputation of his wife.

As one of Fae’s defamers, Sarah was terrified to death.

What will happen to her? Was Elios Linden going to do the same? Recovering Fae’s good name at RMI Almstad and acknowledging her as his daughter, Vega Linden?

All those thoughts raced through Sarah’s head as she looked forward and watched every word that escaped Alaric’s lips.

The room had become very quiet and nobody dared to speak. Everyone paid close attention to Alaric.

“As you know, six years ago my family experienced a tragic loss. My daughter was kidnapped by evil people and we are looking for her all over the world. All companies under RMI and the Schneider Group oblige their employees to keep their eyes and ears open to look for Vega Linden. In fact, for the past four years, all new employees must attend special training in order to help us find or recognize my daughter.”

Everyone in the hall wondered what their office had to do with the missing Vega Linden. Hadn’t it been proven that the training was ineffective and they decided to end it?

“I feel very disappointed when I found out that Vega came to this office and worked here. I feel really angry when no one was able to recognize her. Furthermore, she also received various bad treatments from some of the employees who interacted with her.”

Alaric’s last words sounded like lightning in broad daylight among the employees of RMI Moravia. Not just ordinary employees, but also directors and managers.

They had no idea … Vega Linden came and worked in their office? When? Who?

Slowly, Sam and several employees who had interacted with Vega finally realized something.

All of their faces instantly turned pale. Their memories drifted to the beautiful girl who had worked for two months at RMI Almstad.

Come to think of it, her face was indeed very similar to the missing Vega Linden. However, because her hair and eye colors were different, and she always claimed herself as a girl from the village named Fae Muller, not Vega, they never tried to associate her with Vega Linden.

Jeez … if Fae was indeed Vega … then they had all done a great deal of neglect. This neglect was equivalent to an unforgivable mistake.

“Fae Muller who worked as Mischa’s assistant is my daughter, Vega Linden.. We found her too late because NONE OF YOU TRIED TO RECOGNIZE HER AND REPORTED IT TO ME.”
