Chapter 1105: 508 Hypocrisy_1 Chapter 1105: 508 Hypocrisy_1 “I heard about everything that happened backstage at the Spring Festival Gala.
I didn’t expect that Vivian Hayes would be so daring.
Don’t worry, I’ll help you.
As the director in control of everything, no one and nothing can escape her eye.
“From the outside, the industry looks glamorous but in reality, it’s a cesspool.
A good person enters, and in just a few years, they change.
Restlessness, the urge for quick success, unscrupulous ans, these are common problems in the entertainnt industry.
...
It’s a good thing you didn’t join.”
Ellington Bartholow looked at the young lady quietly stirring her coffee across the table.
It was as if she was seeing Charlotte lody sitting in front of her.
However, Charlotte lody was not nearly as quiet.
She was like a sprite, forever so ebullient, bringing warmth to everyone around her.
“Director Bartholow, thank you, but I’ve already dealt with the matter.” Aubree Groove lifted her eyes and did not miss the fleeting sense of sorrow in the depths of the gaze directed at her.
“I see, what a pity that I couldn’t help.”
The two sat for a bit, until the coffee had cooled entirely.
Then Aubree Groove got to her feet and took her leave.
Ellington Bartholow sat, alone and quiet, watching the young lady’s retreating figure through the floor-to-ceiling window.
Even the figure from behind was strikingly similar.
“Big brother, the thing I asked you to look into for …
Any progress?” Ellington Bartholow made a phone call.
“Ellie, why are you so determined to know what happened all those years ago?
Knowing too much isn’t good for you.”
“Since big brother won’t help , I’ll have to find another way.”
“Alright, alright, I’m scared of you.
ƝονǤο.ᴄ0
Co to my office now.
After I finish this eting, I’ll explain everything to you in detail.”
Ellington Bartholow hung up the phone and headed straight for the Police Departnt.

Crane Loch pushed open the door of his office to find Ellington Bartholow asleep on the sofa.
He shook his head in amusent, opened a cupboard to retrieve a blanket, and gently laid it over her.
The slight noise still startled Ellington Bartholow awake.
Opening her eyes, she suddenly sat up: “Big brother, your eting sure took a long ti.”
“It couldn’t be helped, a big case just broke.
After seeing you, I need to go deck it out.”
Ellington Bartholow cut straight to the chase: “Don’t waste my ti.
Cut to the chase: Is Nikita Parker dead or alive?
Protecting every citizen is your duty and responsibility as a police officer.
Don’t fob off with excuses.”
Crane Loch rubbed his head, “Co with .”
Ellington Bartholow impatiently slapped his hand away, “Just how childish can you be?”
Crane Loch pulled open the bottom drawer of his desk, pulled out a sealed file bag and held it out to her.
“This is all the information I have on her so far.
Burn it once you’re done reading.”
Just as Ellington Bartholow was about to accept it, Crane Loch suddenly withdrew his hand.
“Why didn’t you co ho for the holiday?
Mom and Dad miss you.”
“Did you watch the Spring Festival Gala?
If you did, you’d know how busy I was.
I can barely catch my breath, but I’ll go ho to see Mom and Dad tonight.”
Ellington Bartholow tried to grab it, but Crane Loch didn’t give her the chance.
Due to their height difference, Crane Loch held it high out of her reach.
Ellington Bartholow got furious, “Big brother, give it to .”
“You know how worried Mom and Dad are about you settling down, their hair has even gone white.
When are you going to bring a boyfriend ho?”
“I don’t have a boyfriend.”
“Then you should go on blind dates.
Mom has already screened a whole basket of potential matches for you, all young talents.”
Ellington Bartholow was beyond anxious, “I don’t want a blind date.”
“Then, you may leave.”
Ellington Bartholow imdiately backed down, “Okay, fine, I’ll go on a blind date, just give it to .”
“I’m recording this, better rember what you’ve said.”
Ellington Bartholow quickly ripped open the seal and started speed reading through the contents of the file.
As she read, her frown deepened.
“How can this be?
Is she dead or alive?”
Crane Loch shrugged, “That’s all the information I have.
If you want to know the latest developnts, go find Peter Aria.
He’s also been looking into her whereabouts.”
Who would’ve known that the mont Ellington Bartholow heard Peter Aria’s na, she reacted as if she was a cat whose tail had been stepped on, “It was him who ruined Charlotte lody.”
Crane Loch glanced at her, warning her seriously, “Ellie, the details of this case are much more complicated than you think.
Don’t act impulsively.”
Ellington Bartholow packed up the docunts, turned around and walked away.
“Thanks, big brother.
I’ll treat you to a al when I have ti.”
She didn’t even look back as she ran out.
