At night, Talia couldn’t sleep.
That audio recording kept echoing in her ears.
The person behind Selina Hughes is Vincent Fletcher.
Talia wasn’t clear how much Selina, as an adopted daughter of The Jennings Family, actually knew about their secrets.
Previously, she hadn’t asked Adrian whether Selina held any position within The Jennings Group.
If Selina worked at The Jennings Group and accessed so business secrets which she then leaked to Vincent Fletcher, this would be detrintal to The Jennings Group.
Moreover, Vincent Fletcher hates The Jennings Family.
Everything he did before was to seek revenge on Adrian Jennings.
Given that Selina admired Adrian, why would she help Vincent against Adrian? This was sothing Talia couldn’t comprehend no matter how much she thought about it.
Did Vincent promise her sothing?
Talia mulled over these questions, tossing and turning in bed, until the first light of dawn appeared, when she finally felt sleepy.
...
When she woke up, it was already afternoon.
Talia sat up in bed and glanced at the ti on her phone, 2:30 in the afternoon.
She frustratedly ruffled her hair, resigning herself with a sigh.
Yesterday in the café, after the private investigator handed her the printed photographs, he also sent her a digital copy of the evidence.
After freshening up, Talia sent the digital evidence from the private investigator to Adrian Jennings’ email.
In her heart, Talia told herself, let’s help him out. After all, he did rescue Jasmine, and during the engagent ceremony, he risked his life to shield her from a stab. No matter what, she couldn’t just stand by and watch.
One Selina Hughes might not be enough to threaten Adrian Jennings, but with Vincent Fletcher behind her, it’s not so certain.
Talia was very clear on how powerful Vincent Fletcher’s influence was in Aridia.
Adrian Jennings viewed Vincent Fletcher as a formidable enemy. If Selina kept acting as an insider for Vincent Fletcher against The Jennings Family, not only would The Jennings Group be impacted, but Adrian himself might also be in danger.
After sending the email, Talia noticed a new ssage in her inbox.
The sender was the person she previously commissioned to investigate The Grant Group’s internal comrcial files.
The email was titled "The Grant Group’s Internal Comrcial Files."
Talia opened the email and quickly skimd through the docunt with her mouse.
Seeing the changes in The Grant Group’s equity and the detailed information of the major shareholders in the docunt, Talia reread it several tis, recalling Ethan Grant ntioned that the person investing in The Grant Group was Vincent Fletcher’s subordinate, Logan Sullivan, she furrowed her brows.
The docunts showed the major shareholder was an overseas investnt company, not Logan Sullivan personally.
Could this company also be controlled by Logan Sullivan?
Logan Sullivan had already been apprehended, and the companies he controlled dostically were also investigated.
The overseas company, however, was beyond the reach of Veridian police, benefiting Ethan Grant.
Just then, a new email notification popped up on the computer.
Talia clicked on it, her gaze pausing.
It was a reply from Adrian Jennings.
In the email, Adrian Jennings said they had already discovered Selina Hughes’ close connection with Ethan Grant and that Selina was indeed working for Vincent Fletcher.
Talia breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s good they found out.
Talia was typing a long string of text in the email, ready to send it, but hesitated.
How Adrian Jennings would deal with Selina Hughes was his business. Selina was an adopted daughter of The Jennings Family, Adrian’s sister. Even more important, Selina harbored unspeakable feelings for Adrian.
Since Adrian had investigated so thoroughly and knew Selina was Vincent Fletcher’s person, he must also know about Selina’s feelings for him.
Would he soften?
After all, Selina had been his sister for more than ten years. Would her crying make him spare her?
Talia suddenly felt a bit annoyed inside.
She deleted the words in the email one by one.
Forget it, she had done everything she could. How Adrian Jennings dealt with Selina Hughes was no longer her concern.
Today was the weekend; Talia didn’t need to go to the law firm.
She drank a glass of milk, ate a sandwich to settle her al.
The annoyance in her heart did not subside in the slightest.
Seeing the sunshine was just right outside, Talia decided to go out for a walk to clear her mind.
Near Talia’s villa, there was a large park that she walked to.
There were still many people in the park on the weekend, with many parents bringing their children to play.
The evergreen trees were lush and green, full of vitality.
Tulips and roses blood against each other, dazzlingly beautiful.
There were people picnicking on the lawn, and children flying kites.
Talia strolled across the lawn, feeling much of her inner irritation dissolve as she watched the lively scenes.
After aimlessly walking for over ten minutes, Talia sat down on a wooden bench under a large tree to rest.
Suddenly, she heard intermittent sounds of a child crying.
Following the sound, Talia discovered a little girl crying behind a nearby sculpture.
The little girl was wearing a pink dress over a white knitted sweater, her hair tied into twin ponytails, with fluffy bunny hair ties.
Talia recognized the girl’s outfit as a luxury brand’s children’s wear, and she noticed the pair of bunny hair ties, which Jasmine Rhodes also had, priced at over seventy thousand.
Talia stepped forward and asked, "Little sister, what’s wrong?"
The little girl’s doe-like eyes were red from crying, her face streaked with tears, "I... I got separated from my mom...sob sob..."
Just as Talia had suspected.
"Do you rember your mom’s phone number?" Talia asked.
The little girl pouted and shook her head.
Talia asked again, "How about your dad’s phone number, or any other family mber’s? Do you rember any?"
The little girl’s lips were tightly pursed, and she shook her head again.
Talia sighed and asked, "Then do you know your mom and dad’s nas?"
The little girl nodded and said, "My mom’s na is Amanda Lynch."
Talia breathed a sigh of relief, thankful she at least rembered her mom’s na.
Thinking it over, Talia decided to take the little girl to the park’s managent center, where the staff could use the public address system to help find her mom.
"Don’t cry now, I’ll take you to find your mom, okay?" Talia bent down, gently patting the little girl’s head, speaking softly.
The little girl wiped her tears and, pursing her lips, blinked at Talia before saying "Okay" in a childlike voice.
Talia smiled with her eyes, "Good girl."
She extended her hand to the little girl, "Co, let sister take you to find your mom."
The little girl obediently took Talia’s hand and trotted alongside her.
At the managent center, Talia explained the little girl’s situation to the staff.
The staff asked, "Little girl, what’s your na?"
"My na is Tiana Grant," the little girl replied in a tender voice.
The staff imdiately connected to the public address system.
"Ms. Amanda Lynch, your daughter Tiana Grant is lost in the park, please co to the managent center at the north entrance as soon as you hear this broadcast."
The park was large, but luckily, there were loudspeakers every so often.
Soon, Amanda Lynch arrived at the managent center.
The mont Talia saw Amanda, she froze.
Isn’t this Samuel Langdon’s aunt?
