Chapter 110: Doris Read the Fake Report
The morning sun filtered through the glass windows of Vanwell Global’s executive headquarters. Sitting behind her desk, Doris felt a familiar knot of tension tighten in her stomach.The events of the past twenty-four hours had been an emotional rollercoaster.Her mind kept drifting back to Mr. Powell, the Private investigator she had hired the previous day. She had glanced at her screen after the board meeting, hoping to see his call or message, but there wasn’t anything from him.While she was lost in thought, a soft chime sounded from her desk, followed by the voice of her female secretary coming through the intercom.“Mrs. Doris, your visitor from the investigative agency is here to see you. He says he has the personal folder you requested regarding Mr Dennis.”Doris sat up straight, her heart beating a little faster. “Send him in immediately.”The door opened, and the private investigator stepped into the office. Despite having spent more hours than expected, he carried a neat fol
Chapter 109: Dennis Catches the Investigator
Downstairs, on the sofa, Dennis set his empty cup on the table. But his phone, lying face-down beside him, buzzed softly once.He turned it over. A message from Aunt Ella. Dennis furrowed his brow as he read the message. "Dennis, I overheard Doris making a call in the study; she had just placed a call to a private investigator to find out what happened when I was missing?"“What should we do?” Another message popped on his screen.Dennis looked in the direction of the study, "I will find a way to stop Doris, or I will better still contact Chief Luke to assist us.”Dennis sighed deeply and texted Peter. “Doris contacted a private investigator to find out what happened when Ella was missing. Find the private Investigator, make sure what she finds is only what I want her to find."The clock on Doris's study desk read 11:15 PM.She sat in front of her laptop with an open document on the screen that she had not rea

"He doesn't even have a job! Can someone tell me what's going on? I understand that he gave the police the lead to find you, but.”Ella's face turned an angry red. The nervous manner she had worn all evening vanished in a second. In its place came the old fire of the family's strongest voice, only this time it was aimed at Doris."A job?" Ella shrieked, stepping between Doris and the coffee table with her hands on her hips. "Is that all your small mind can measure a man by? A paycheck and a title?"Doris blinked. She lowered her arms. "Aunt Ella? What are you talking about? I only said—""I heard exactly what you said!" Ella snapped to the usual aunt she knew. "You walk around with your fancy contracts at Vanwell Global, acting like you run the world, and you are blind to the man standing right beside you!""Aunt Ella!" Doris's cheeks burned, and she glanced sideways at Dennis. "Why are you yelling at me? Dennis doesn't have an office job. That's just a fact!""A fact?" Ella gave a bi
Chapter 107
Aunt Ella stood beside the table, running a handheld steamer over a brand-new shirt. Her brows were pulled together, and she smoothed each crease with the care of someone handling something very precious. Dennis sat on the sofa a few feet away in a plain casual shirt, sipping a bowl of herbal soup she had made for him that morning. Ever since she had returned, her actions toward Dennis had changed from kneeling to defending him. "Careful with the collar, Aunt Ella. There's no need to spend all afternoon on it." Dennis said mildly over the hum of the steamer. Ella jerked upright, her hands shaking a little. "Oh, nonsense, Dennis! A man like you, who carries so much for this family, should wear the best. Those cheap clothes you used to wear won't do anymore." She waved toward a row of shopping bags and white boxes with the names of expensive brands stamped on them. She had spent the whole morning in the best shops in the city, paying out of the money her son Desmond had sent to he
Chapter 106: Asher's Total Ruin
Then the elevator chimed, and two federal agents stepped out with Bill Asher between them.His suit was creased, his tie hung crooked, and his hair was damp with sweat. His hands were behind his back, with no cufflink on his left hand. Bill felt embarrassed that he had to bury his face downward. The lobby went quiet. A receptionist covered her mouth. Two staff members stopped in the middle of a sentence. By the elevators, the same two guards who had smiled behind their hands at Dennis an hour ago now stood stunned, staring straight ahead."I was set up!" Bill's voice cracked as the agents steered him across the floor. "The records were changed! Call the board! Somebody call the board!"Nobody moved; the staff whispered among themselves.Dennis had come down by the staff elevator a few minutes after the arrest. Doris was upstairs, finishing her lunch. Dennis had told her he was going to meet an old friend, and he left the office.Bill saw him; his feet stopped moving."Keep walking
Chapter 105: Bill Asher Face-Slap
Dennis read Peter's message, then typed his reply with one thumb."Send everything to the compliance director. Quietly. Keep my name out of it."The answer came back in seconds. "Understood, General. He will have it in ten minutes."Dennis slipped the phone into his pocket. He moved the lunchbox to the middle of the desk, walked to the sofa in the middle of the office, and took the magazine he found. Doris came back thirty minutes later. She dropped into her chair with a tired smile.She took a deep breath before she said in a weak tone. "That meeting felt like it lasted three hours, but the numbers on the NewYork Oil Gold project look good, Dennis. Seventy million dollars. Sometimes I still can't believe it.""You earned it," Dennis said, turning from the magazine. "Now eat before it gets cold."She laughed and reached for the lunchbox.The office door flew open before she could lift the lid.Bill Asher strode in like a man arriving on a stage to perform. Behind him came three membe
