“Yes, I have found something. Someone from Deco Electronics bribed the head of the Logistics


    Department!”


    “Deco Electronics?”


    “That’s right. I also found out that the person who bribed the head of the Logistics Department is none


    other than their president, Xena Davis!”


    “Xena? She was my ssmate in college. How could it be her?”


    -Hera’s face instantly turned pale.


    Xena’s grades were not particrly outstanding back when they were in college.


    She was very introverted and rarely spoke to anyone else.


    The minute they graduated, she left all their ss-rted group c


    No one had heard from her ever since.


    Never would Hera have imagined that she was the current president of Deco Electronics.


    “Xena is under the protection of a martial artist expert, Ms. Hera.


    That’s why I can’t interrogate her further!


    “Since Mr. Calcraft isn’t around, you’ll need to have people guarding you at all times for the next few


    days!


    “I have a couple of friends who were just discharged from the military, and they… haven’t found


    employment yet!”


    Robin’s voice wavered slightly as he uttered thatst sentence.


    “Tell them to wait for me at the entrance at eight o’clock tomorrow morning!”


    “Alright, Ms. Hera!”


    Hera hung up the phone after that and turned to Lauren. “Mom, have you heard about Deco


    Electronics?”


    “Deco Electronics is a chip productionpany that’s based in Jewell County. Thepany is about


    the same size and follows the same structure as Innovate Collective!”


    Lauren was sitting beside Hera and had been listening to the conversation that took ce just now. Her


    features were arranged into a worried expression. “Our business isn’t involved with Deco


    Electronics in any way. Why are they spying on you?”


    “What else could it be? They’ve got evil intentions because we stud finger into their pie!” Harrison


    sneered.


    “Melody, please stay by Hera’s side and make sure she’s safe for the next couple of days. I’m worried


    Deco Electronics will harm her!” Lauren said softly as she took Melody’s hand in hers.


    “Alright. Don’t worry, Aunt Lauren. I’ll make sure Ms. Hera is well- protected!” Melody said as she


    nodded.


    “Ms. Hera?” Hera and Lauren gave Melody astonished looks.


    “That’s right. Nash is the master of the household, so this is how I should refer to you, shouldn’t I?”


    Melody asked as she smiled prettily.


    “No. You’re my mother’s goddaughter, which makes us sisters. Nash is your brother-inw. I forbid you


    from addressing him as anything else!”


    Hera pretended to be angry.


    “Alright!” Melody smiled as she nodded.


    “Come, let’s have dinner!”


    Maria was already in the midst of bringing food to the table. Hera took Melody’s hand and pulled her


    toward the dining table.


    Lauren and Harrison exchanged nces.


    Harrison sighed. “Looks like your worst fears havee true!”


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    An odd look appeared in Lauren’s eyes as she said, “Have a couple of drinks with Melodyter. We’re


    going to spend the night here!”


    After everyone had eaten their fill and had a couple of drinks, Harris and Lauren used the excuse of


    wanting to thank Melody for protecting Hera to have a few more drinks.


    Meanwhile, Hera felt nauseous every time she picked up her ss. and caught a whiff of the red wine.


    “I haven’t been feeling the best the past two days, which is why I can’t drink with you right now,


    Melody!”


    Hera felt a wave of frustration wash over her as she put her ss down.


    Melody smiled. “Why don’t I apany you to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow?”


    Then, she turned to Lauren and Harrison and said, “You shouldn’t have too much to drink either, Uncle


    Harrison and Aunt Lauren. There’ll probably be plenty of work waiting for you since you’ve just acquired


    Innovate Collective!”


    Seeing how everyone was done drinking, Lauren smiled and said, ” Alright. Let’s sleep in the same


    room tonight!”


    That night, Lauren spent the night with her two daughters.


    Meanwhile, Harrison spent the night in a room he had only been in twice.


    In the basement, Nash busied himself with writing out prescriptions, gathering herbs, and rinsing them.


    He would be crafting five different kinds of medicinal pills this time.
