    Unable to Turn Things Around


    I nodded earnestly. I knew that only someone who cared for me genuinely could say such things.


    "I know. After helping him clear his name this time, I will step backpletely. I just told him not to seek help from me anymore. I have no obligation to always speak up for him. I''ve decided to stop my involvement no matter what."


    Lauren looked at me. You said that yourself. Remember it. Some things should be done for those who deserve them. But Matthew...


    Lauren sneered, shook her head, and said, "He''s not worth it, nor does he deserve it. He and As are worlds apart. There''s noparison, not considering their wealth or status. Just based on character, he is aplete loser.


    "If you ever feel soft-hearted again, think about all the nonsense he did to you before."


    I chuckled. I felt like a child she was protecting, and what Lauren said was indeed true.


    Adrian called me again, informing me that he had applied for a trial postponement. This would give us some extra time to gather evidence.


    Back at thepany in the afternoon, Grayson was waiting for me in the office. He handed me a stack of documents rted to Liora''s recent activities. I looked at them seriously and was amazed. "You can even get these?


    Grayson confidently smiled, "As long as you want it, I can get it for you. This time, she''s gone too far. We''ve found the car that hit you, and the driver is currently detained in the warehouse area. He has already confessed to it."


    He pointed to another set of documents and said, "Look at this. We have everything on audio and video."


    I pped the table. "That''s great. Let''s see how she turns the tables this time.


    ''How about your investigation into Melvern?" I asked Grayson while tidying up the documents.


    "His current business status seems fine on the surface. He owns several major tradingpanies, and their operations seem normal."


    "Normal?" I expressed doubt.


    "However, he has almost no business dealings with Lance. Lance''s businesses are all from the Sunny family''s old, rtively conservative businesses." Grayson guided my thoughts.


    "It seems that the Sunny family''s business is now managed by the eldest, Lance. That means the family did not allow Melvern to join theirpany." Grayson said. "Chloe, do you think there''s a problem with this?"N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    I pondered the situation. "Are you suggesting that the Sunny family is afraid Melvem might ruin the family, so they''ve distanced themselves from him?"


    Grayson mmed the table. "You''re sharp. Another crucial point is that Melver''s funds are quickly circting. We''re digging deeper into this, hoping to find issues from this aspect." "It seems like he does have some problems."


    "There must be problems. How could Melvern rise so rapidly without relying on his family business? if he could get rich by staying low-key, he would have be a prominent figure in Foswood long ago."


    I said, "And keep an eye on Denton as well."


    Grayson leaned back into the sofa, thoughtfully responding. "No movements on his end so far. He''s very disciplined and just studying. He does socialize asionally, but always only with his ssmates. However, I feel it''s the calm before the storm.


    "Unusual urrences often indicate something sinister. Keep a close eye on him. I''ve already briefed Noah about his situation. As long as he doesn''t threaten Bourdamun''s development, it''s not a significant concern for us." I casually informed Grayson.


    However, ironically, this person would soon be the biggest threat.
