The Woman From Hell

After eating with Marius, I immediately rushed to the coffee shop to meet with this great figure while also walking off the meal.

When I got there, he was already waiting for me.

He waved at me, and I trotted over. "Did I keep you waiting?"

"No. I just arrived as well. I already ordered for you." He knew what I liked to drink.

I smiled, my heart warming. Seeing the man's handsome face, I could not help blushing a little. "Why did you suddenly want to meet me?"

He took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and pushed it in front of me. "I did say I would help you investigate last time. This is the result."Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

"That was quick."

I flipped through the documents casually. "Gareth actually visits the hospital so many times a month?" I was frowning as I began to find this more and more strange.

"Yes. It's been that way for a long time too. We were only able to look up the records of the past three years and nothing further back. We can't rule out that this might have gone on for more than three years."

The man's words got me thinking even more.

"It must be someone very important. But what kind of illness lands someone in the hospital for so many years? Do you think it has something to do with my mother?" My mind abruptly conjured up a bold thought, but I did not dare say it out loud. He nodded at me. "It's not very likely."

That might be true given she passed so long ago. This was public knowledge.

Thinking of this, I could not help feeling a little hurt. "I still have no idea where she's buried until now. I still haven't been able to see her."

"You can ask Silas if you have the chance. He'll probably tell you."

I nodded and sighed. I looked up and met the man's considerate gaze. "Have you been doing well recently?" I asked faintly.

"Pretty good. I think days like this will end soon. Nibel already looked for you, yes?" He sounded rather confident.

"He has. He asked me to partner up with him to go up against the Grants. Did you already guess that this would happen?" "Yes. He definitely would do that. Regardless of his age, Nibel's very ambitious."

I could tell that after interacting with Nibel the last few times. I narrowed my eyes. "He wants to absorb Grant Corporation, so he looked for frie for a partnership because he wants to ensure his victory." FindNovel

"You agreed, yes?"

"Of course. I did as you said and agreed to work with him. He hasn't told me his plan yet. Could he still be observing me?"

The man nodded slightly, his voice deep. "Nibel is a suspicious man by nature. Be careful. You have to gain his trust as soon as possible."

Of course, I understood this. "How do I do that? Unless..."

"Unless you show him a satisfactory course of action first."

"If I cause trouble for Grant Corporation, that would show him my determination." I tapped my finger on the table while I pondered.

There was a snap of fingers, and the man smiled. "Any ideas?"

"I have some. But I wonder if they'll work."

"Let's hear them."

"If Grant Corporation works with Yard Group for North Courts' development rights, Grant

Corporation will then gain more enemies, right?" I raised my

eyebrows and looked at himvel

"That's right. But you'd detriment your bidding advantage again," he replied, satisfied. I was not worried about that.

"It doesn't matter. Brian Wagner will know what to do the moment Grant Corporation enters the fray. He won't trouble me." I was making my calculations in my head, my eyes flitting about. "All I have to do is to let Nibel know that I was the one who instigated Grant Corporation's partnership with the Yards."

"Clever." The man clapped.

I smiled, determined to succeed.
