This time, it wasn’t Collin who was frightened, but Jaden.Just by looking at Jaden’s state, it was clear that his mind hadn’t been at ease for the past couple of days.Even knowing that no one dared to touch Collin, Jaden was still worried whenever Collin wasn’t around.He was always on edge, especially with Mandy by Collin’s side.He knew that for Mandy’s sake, Collin would risk his life.Because of this, Jaden had already made up his mind. He would never let the two of them go on a business trip together again.It was truly nerve-wracking.Others might not have been affected, but Jaden was terrified.“You shouldn’t go to work for the next couple of days either. Stay home and rest properly for a few days. I see that the Longsfield matter isn’t over. Someone will eventually come to investigate. It’s just a matter of who comes to question us.” Chris tapped the table to get Collin’s attention.Jessica nodded.“I gave Indya time off for this reason too. Julian’s death will defi
“This works too. The director of the Real Estate Bureau has a bigger appetite now, and it’s just the right time to replace him with someone else. I think Charlie Cole would be a good choice.”Charlie Cole had always been the second-in-command of the Real Estate Bureau.For so many years, he had always operated under the director.Lance deliberately kept Charlie suppressed, not letting him handle many matters, and even preventing him from meeting important people.Indya had met Charlie at a banquet, by the restroom, when the director had scolded Charlie mercilessly.“Charlie is someone who has patience, but having patience isn’t enough in this position. As long as the director stays in power, there’s basically no chance of promotion. Moreover, the director’s position is the best position one can get. With such lucrative perks, why would he ever leave?”Without help, Charlie would spend his life as second-in-command, following the director’s orders.Jessica knew Indya wouldn’t mis
Jessica also noticed that Chris had been daydreaming.She said to Oscar, “Didn’t you see any problem with Holden? This has nothing to do with him?”Oscar thought for a moment, then shook his head.“I don’t think it’s related. Holden doesn’t seem like the kind of person who could do something like this. The important thing is, Holden wasn’t as high-ranking as Julian. In Longsfield, everything required Julian’s guidance. Now that Julian is dead, only Holden is left. It’s precisely because he’s panicking that someone came to block us.”Now that people had returned to Impelia, Holden definitely felt insecure and didn’t know what to do.Since this wasn’t Holden’s doing, it probably had nothing to do with Christian either.Then who could it be?Julian’s death brought them no benefit.It might even expose the secrets of Longsfield.The group that had been assigned there back then definitely wouldn’t make this kind of decision.Who else could it be?Jessica didn’t have many thoughts
The drivers looked at them as if they wanted to eat them, but there was nothing they could do.They didn’t dare to approach Impelia.One of them picked up his phone and made a call, gritting his teeth as he said, “We couldn’t catch them, boss. Someone intercepted our car at the highway junction. Following your orders, we didn’t dare to enter Impelia.”Unexpectedly, Indya and the others were still able to escape.Holden slammed all the documents on his desk in anger, but there was nothing he could do.He watched the people who were supposed to take the blame slip out of his hands, leaving all the remaining responsibilities for him alone to bear.Holden trembled with fear.He didn’t know what awaited him, only that he had heard the news that Julian’s body had already been retrieved.Having experienced an explosion of that magnitude, Julian’s body was no longer intact.Now they had to wait for the investigators to collect the data.For the first time, Holden lost his composure.
Jessica called Indya to confirm that they were safe.“We’re fine, it’s just that someone is following us. Holden should have realized by now that he absolutely cannot let us go, so he’s sent a few cars chasing us from behind. Luckily, with their beat-up vehicles, trying to catch Oscar’s car is just a joke.”Oscar’s driving skills were also excellent. No matter how fast he drove, it still felt steady and smooth, with not a single bump.Oscar drove while keeping an eye on the rearview mirror at the cars closely pursuing them.It was obvious that Collin and the others were not panicking either.“That’s why it’s important to drive a good car when going out,” Blake commented from beside them.Judging by their conversation, these people were in fairly good spirits and had not yet reached a truly tense moment.Jessica said, “As soon as you get near the highway, someone will intercept their cars. If they dare to continue the chase, it will be a dead end. I’ve been worried that they woul
Holden’s secretary was so frightened by these words that he broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly assigned people to set up checkpoints.Jessica and the others were shocked for a moment when they heard the news of Julian’s death, but they quickly reacted.“I didn’t expect Christian to be so bold. These people in Longsfield clearly carried secrets. I thought he wouldn’t move against them, but now that I’m targeting him, he’s using Julian’s death to suppress Indya.”“To get to this point, his strikes would surely be fast and precise, and he would definitely leave no way out,” Chris said beside her.He had just received the news while bringing Francesca to the Wilder Group for a meeting, never expecting to hear such shocking information.Francesca had been sitting on the sofa near the door, not too close to them, but hearing these words left her somewhat stunned.She stood up and walked over slowly, saying, “Christian is now making a desperate counterattack. He thinks that using s
