Semua Bab Guardian-In-Law: Bab 4591 - Bab 4600

“You two have been here for so long and you got nothing at all?” Lyra asked in disbelief. She knew how well her men could work. She sent them here because she believed they could make progress quickly, but this time, she was wrong. She was surprised by their lackluster performance. “Boss, we tried our best, and we dared not lie to you. We approached every suspect, but they were all clean.” Fletcher handled the matter himself, and he knew how bad things were. He did not expect to hit a blunder either. Lyra ran out of patience and came to Westeros. If Fletcher could not solve this as soon as possible, then he and Quill would be punished. “Interesting. You have suspects but they are clean. Could this branch leader be among them?” Lyra asked. She did not have the time to delve into the matter now. If she could meet the branch leader today, all things would come under the light, and there would be no need to investigate anymore. “That didn’t work either. We tried investiga

“What’s the problem?” As soon as the waitress left, Patrick asked Lyra. He did not want to be part of anything, but since Lyra was a friend, he wanted to help. “Nothing. It’s just a strange feeling,” Lyra said as she looked at the soup. “What’s the matter? Is it poisoned? But no one knows that you are here,” Patrick said confidently. He was the one who brought her here. No one should know as he did a good job covering her tracks. “I came in with you, so no one will know that I am here. No worries about people poisoning me, but it’s just too unusual. Everything looks normal, but it’s so normal that it feels strange.” Lyra believed her opponent was powerful and an incredible strategist, but she had gotten nothing on him until now, which felt odd. Fletcher came out from the shadows and changed into his usual clothes. “Boss, let me have a look.” He wanted to be careful since they were all in enemy territory. No matter what was delivered, it was best not to eat or drin

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is an antique calligraphy painting by a famous artist! It looks good and well-preserved! “This calligraphy painting is said to be from a famous family, and it has high collection value. Anyone who is interested can start bidding. The starting bid is five million,” said the auctioneer on the stage. The audience knew paintings well, especially antique paintings. Most importantly, the painting was by a famous artist with a limited body of work on the market. A new piece would surely be highly sought after. “Is the painting that famous? It looks ordinary to me,” Agnes said after a glance at the painting. She lacked the knowledge on this particular subject. “It’s the story that the painting holds. It might seem ordinary, but it reflects on people’s lives,” Darcy explained. One of her clients was a fan of paintings. To have a common topic, she learned more about antique paintings and the history behind them. The painting itself might not be as valua

“Father, it’s the Days. He’s the only heir of the Days.” Julian raised his paddle. The auctioneer called out 70 million dollars before turning to Ken. “The Days’ business has been taking off in the last two years, but their kid is so reckless.” Displeased, Edgar looked in the direction of Ken. Ken was young and arrogant, and it showed in the repeated raising of his paddle. It was clear that he wanted the pendant, but Edgar was not backing down. He came with a lot of money to buy a gift for the branch leader. Even if the gift was not given away, the Hanbergs could catch the attention of VIPs. However, Edgar ran into an obstacle. The pendant had good color, but not at this price tag. The price would only continue to climb if Ken drove up the bidding. Edgar snapped an angry look at Ken. “Mr. Day, that’s the Hanberg father and son. They have a monopoly on the timber business. They have been doing well lately. They are into the same item as you.” Ken did not recognize

“How was it a waste of money? It’s a show of wealth, isn’t it? Look at how happy he is. So many are envious of him.”Agnes only saw things on the surface. She even looked at Julian with envy. Soon, a staff member came over, and Edgar wrote a check to hand over. The Hanbergs acquired the emerald pendant. Nevertheless, they could only take one look at the item because it was going to be kept in the safe until their departure. Since the auction items were valuable, security had to be beefed up for the occasion. It was to ensure that no items would go missing. The security officers were on the lookout for any potential accidents. “I took a glance at the pendant. It’s decent. You don’t get that kind of clarity now.” Agnes had a bit of knowledge about antique jewelry. She was jealous that the pendant went to someone else. “That’s great, but 90 million dollars for an emerald pendant is too much.” Darcy believed that the money would be better used in an investment. At least,
