Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1406 The Truth Revealed

The situation was indeed peculiar. If their suspicions were correct, Kendrick must have been the puppet master behind it all. Yet, Kendrick was also probing into the matter, skillfully sidestepping the secretary.

Pondering over this, Beryl gave a slight shake of his head. The world of the wealthy and influential was indeed riddled with intrigue.

"Got it. Continue the investigation into the subsidiary company," Colton said, nodding without much reaction.

Beryl didn't elaborate further. He simply rose from his seat and stretched. "I'll get a good night's sleep tonight and continue the investigation tomorrow. However, Kendrick is on high alert at the moment. We need to stay vigilant and not rush into things."

Colton didn't respond, his gaze fixed on the computer screen, his thoughts hidden.

Beryl shrugged and glanced at Wendy, who was still eavesdropping. He flashed a smile. "Aren't you going to rest, Miss Wendy Gardner? If you don't, all your beauty treatments will have been for naught."

She really couldn't conceal anything; even her eavesdropping was so blatant.

Upon realizing that she had been caught and even teased by Beryl, Wendy immediately averted her gaze in defiance.

"Hmph." Wendy harrumphed before getting up and leaving the room, ignoring Beryl's teasing.

This jack*ss is just like Colton. Neither of them keeps their promises!

Beryl chuckled helplessly, then turned to Colton. "I'll take Wendy out for a while tomorrow. Otherwise, with her temperament, she'll be bored to death these days."

"Sure, take her out," Colton replied without objections. He had been thinking of finding an opportunity to take Wendy out himself, but he had been swamped lately. Having Beryl take her was just as good; it would help distract Wendy.

Seeing Colton's agreement, Beryl nodded and exited the room. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Once Wendy returned to her room, she carefully locked the door. She glanced at her phone and noticed that her sister-in-law hadn't checked her phone often. She hadn't responded to the message about the child from the day before.

It didn't matter.

Wendy typed out a detailed message about what she had overheard. She hadn't expected the secretary to be so ruthless. Then again, she hadn't seemed to have met that secretary before.

Meanwhile, Beryl stood outside Wendy's room, hesitating to knock. She decided against it and figured she would send the message through Wendy's social media the next day.

Having made up his mind, Beryl returned to his room to check out what local delicacies were available nearby. He planned to take Wendy out to try them the next day.

After a good night's sleep, Nicole checked her phone and realized someone had texted her the night

before.

A message?

Nicole suddenly remembered Wendy's message. She had seen it but hadn't responded due to the base incident the day before.

Thinking of this, Nicole quickly unlocked her phone and saw that Wendy had sent numerous messages.

She read each message carefully, and her expression turned serious as she went through them. Nicole didn't even know the name of the female secretary, but she couldn't believe that someone was plotting against the base.

However, the message also mentioned that Kendrick was investigating the matter. Nicole couldn't fathom how a female secretary could have such influence unless Kendrick was involved in some way. Her brow furrowed as she considered the implications, her previous assessment of Kendrick's power now uncertain.

If even Kendrick's secretary had such connections, how formidable could Kendrick himself be? Nicole pondered this before sending Wendy an explanation about the child issue, followed by discussing the rest of the matter. She wanted to gather as much information as possible, as more knowledge would be beneficial in dealing with the situation.

"Nicole, I'm leaving," Chloe's voice came from outside the room.

Nicole glanced at the time and realized how late it was. Without waiting for her response, she heard the

sound of the security door being closed from outside. Nicole smiled wryly, then slowly rose and started perusing the new report.
