"Ma'am, we found out that Flavian had regretted divorcing you. He was no longer interested in other women after that and decided to live his life to the fullest with Emily. He spent every day missing you and after the blow of losing you and his family..." Quina thought that it was better to let her know all those things. After all, since Madam Lilian left, she had never returned to A City.
"No..." Madam Lilian stretched out her hand and interrupted Quina. "I only want to know about Emily. Now that I'm here, I must locate her. Whether she's dead or alive, I must see her or her tomb. Please hurry up and send someone to follow up with this matter."
"Alright, Ma'am. You don't have to worry too much. We're searching the whole city with a fine-tooth comb. I believe it won't be long before we find her." Quina was aware of how she felt and immediately explained.
Madam Lilian took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. Her voice was a little hoarse as she added, "By the way, send someone to investigate Jenna's mother and think of a way to get her DNA sample."
Quina was stunned, but she quickly understood what Madam Lilian meant.
It was no wonder that Madam Lilian had such a tacit relationship with Jenna. It seemed that she had this intention in mind. Quina smiled and nodded.
In a Capital City mansion, Yadriel's gaze was indecipherable and as gloomy as the sea.
However, Sergio appeared to be restless.
"Dad, Madam Lilian is secretly searching for her daughter in A City, and Jenna has already met her several times in private. Although she hasn't yet identified her, it will be a matter of time for the mother and daughter to reconcile, at this rate."
A cold glint flashed across Yadriel's eyes.
"Don't worry. Madam Lilian does things cautiously. Even if she has her suspicions, she will have to wait until the DNA result is out before she can acknowledge her. Otherwise, she won't simply recognize her based on just suspicion. Besides, she's still investigating the whole city, proving she doesn't have full confidence in Sara. There is still time before that." He was very pertinent as he analyzed the situation. "I will finish my final round of election soon. As long as it is over, it will be up to them, as it will no longer affect me."
"Please rest assured, Dad. I'll try my best to stop them from reconciling with each other during this period of time." Sergio inhaled a deep puff of his cigarette smoke and replied glumly, "Dad, I think it's time to speed up the fight against the Richards Group, as they had already driven the Sky Sword Group out of A City. Their opponents are almost gone. We can't drag it on any longer."
"Yes, that's how it should be. However, A City is going to host the Regional Games soon. It's not easy for us to take them down right now. The authorities will take care of him," Yadriel muttered.
"Take care of him? They're charged with leaking the country's secrets. How can they protect him?" Sergio asked with slight disdain, "Now that we've found out that Yaris from the Richards Group had done everything, this responsibility falls on the Richards Group. So, we should take advantage of this loophole."
"With that being said, the Richards Group has a large group of lawyers. Before Yaris is captured, they can use this as an excuse to extend the litigation period. Now that Sadiva is asking for his help, he will report this situation to the authorities." Yadriel's gaze didn't relax, and his heart was heavy.
"But what we need now is time." Sergio was very anxious.
"That's right. Right now, everyone needs to buy time. Do you think that they don't know? Everyone is well aware of that." Yadriel commented astutely, "Don't think that we can take him down with just a single move. Don't forget that there's still Johan in Capital City."
What worried him most was Johan's attitude. No matter how much Yadriel wanted to pay a visit to him, he either avoided talking or refused to meet with him. His actions were so secretive that Yadriel could not figure out what he was thinking.
Sara was Johan's biological granddaughter. Back then, Johan had tried his best to hide Flavian's and Madam Lilian's relationship, but Yadriel still found out.
Although Johan didn't acknowledge her, it didn't mean that he wouldn't be unconcerned about it. Otherwise, if it weren't for Johan's intervention in Earl's affairs from Capital City, Hansen, a mere businessman, wouldn't have been able to shake Earl up.
What did this mean? This meant that Johan's heart had begun to waver these past few years. After all, he was getting older, and there were some things he had finally seen through.
The present election was the ultimate key. If Yadriel could win this round, he would be the sure winner.
As long as he took that position, he didn't need to be afraid anymore. After all, Johan was getting old, and his influence couldn't be maintained for long.
Right now, the most important thing was to ensure that the Richards Group would not cause trouble and that Johan would not side with Luqman. As long as nothing happened to these two parts, he would be sure to win.
Fortunately, he was competing with Luqman. Not only was Luqman unrelated to Johan, but he also had nothing to do with the Richards Group. This made him feel at ease.
After Jenna arranged everyone's accommodation at the Ink Garden, she signed off a few more purchasing orders for the next day before standing up and walking outside.
The ones on duty that night were Hansen and Trevor. Since they were both on duty that day for Vivian, they took a rest in the lounge next to Vivian's bedroom, while the others went to bed. If anything were to happen to Vivian, they would immediately inform everyone to come over and pay their last respects to her. This was the duty of the night watchman.
Jenna was indeed tired. She was exhausted and sleepy, and she really wanted to rest early.
In the dark night, the starlight was dim.
At the end of the corridor was a crabapple tree. There was no starlight, and the night wind was blowing. The night cast a shadow on the tree, which made it eerily haunting.
Jenna walked carefully with her head down.
The gust of wind blew over. As it was really cool in the Ink Garden, they didn't even need to turn on the air-conditioner when they slept at night.
A pair of white high- heeled shoes with golden rims stood under the tree, emitting a dazzling white light, which was abnormally striking at night.
Jenna gasped and shivered.
