Carol returned quickly, and the coffee was still piping hot.She glanced at me and asked, "Do you want a cup, Chlo?"I chuckled. "It’s alright, let him have it. He deserves it."Carol cast a sneaky glance at Grayson.Turning back to him, I continued, "With this information, his move to Foswood is nothing but trouble. As soon as he takes action, he'll be caught. It's just a matter of time."Grayson handed me a few more papers. "This is the information you wanted about—"Before Grayson could finish, Lauren's voice came from the door. "Why are you just standing here? Come inside! What's with the sneaky behavior?"All three of us in the office turned our heads to the door, and we saw Lauren pushing the door open, looking displeased.Standing next to her was none other than Adelaide.My gaze fixated on Adelaide's face, silent but coldly observing. Adelaide looked embarrassed with an awkward smile. She glanced at me, explaining hesitantly, "I-I wanted to ask Ms. Chloe if she neede

Grayson nodded at Lauren."When we investigated, their classmates revealed that Byron's family had some issues. Helen, without any hesitation, helped Byron out of the predicament. That's how Byron and Helen began their romance."Lauren shook her head in resignation. "If this were a soap opera, Helen would be the target.""You're right. Their relationship planted the evil seed within Jocelyn. Just as they started dating, Jocelyn started to alienate Helen."Later, unable to resist the allure of Helen's fashionable lifestyle, Jocelyn reconciled with her. Helen isn't stingy and would give Jocelyn everything. I mean, look at her. Her family runs Keller's Dairy. Everyone grew up with their milk.""Byron knew how to play his cards right," Lauren said."But he set a trap for the next generation," I commented.Grayson nodded. "Byron, who also liked Jocelyn, chose Helen. However, things didn't go as smoothly as Byron hoped. Their relationship faced strong opposition from Helen's family. A

We both immediately exclaimed in unison, "Of course, we're listening!"Grayson said, "Quick! Have Carol bring me another cup of coffee."I promptly rang the bell, summoning Carol to pour three cups of coffee for us.Carol quickly turned around to fetch the coffee for us.She hesitated and looked at Grayson. She couldn't hold back and asked casually, "Have you had breakfast? Are you just drinking coffee?"Grayson looked helpless. "When do I have time for breakfast? I need to report this. After the briefing, I'll grab a bite and sleep."Carol walked out. I knew she must be preparing something for him.Grayson took a big sip and continued, "Unexpectedly, life is full of twists and turns. One day, Keller's Dairy suddenly encountered trouble.""What?" I exclaimed.Lauren also seemed frozen, forgetting to sip her coffee. Grayson shrugged."Milk poisoning. It led to two deaths! It caused a sensation in Gerby then, and Helen's father was also arrested. Her mother, in a fit of anger,

Grayson looked at us, leaning back in his chair. "Even the Keller's Dairy poisoning incident remains a mystery. We investigated everything, but couldn't find a clue. I think there's something fishy here. The official conclusion at that time was that improper production processes led to issues in dairy products, and Helen's father ended up taking the blame.""He was in prison until shortly before Helen fell ill, then he died in jail. After that, Helen got sick, had a cerebral hemorrhage, and remained unconscious until she passed away two years later. And in just a short time, Beatrice was admitted to the mental hospital."Everyone's statements aligned. Helen's father died in prison, and her grief was overwhelming, leading to a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. Similarly, Beatrice was deeply affected and went insane." Grayson spread his hands helplessly.Lauren chimed in, "This doesn't add up. There must be a reason for all this. It can't be just a coincidence, right? If it really is relate

I stepped back and pressed the elevator button for the basement.Lauren turned to look at me and asked, "What's wrong?"I quickly shrugged and said, "I saw a classmate I'd rather not meet."In response, Lauren immediately said, "Michelle?"I widened my eyes, looking at her with a smile. "You're a mind reader. Yes, it's her. She's in the lobby, probably waiting for me.""Oh, thank goodness you noticed in time. If she had stuck to you, it would have delayed us quite a bit," Lauren said."I wouldn’t have cared if she’d delayed us, but she's been bothering me for a long time, and it’s definitely not over anything good. My classmates can't stand her," I said, taking out my car keys from my bag. "Let's take my car! Thankfully, there's a back exit we can use. Otherwise, I'd have to deal with her every day."We found my car and got in, heading straight to the taco shop.Business here was always good. We had arrived early and it wasn’t lunchtime yet, but there were no empty seats.Al
