He was the one running the massive Hartley Group, constantly swamped with endless tasks even during his downtime. He was already up to his ears in work, and she didn't want to pile on more troubles for him, hoping he wouldn't have to squeeze out more time and energy to help her out of his already hectic schedule.
Cornelia said so, and Ayden didn't push further, “Heading back to the hospital now?”
Cornelia nodded.
After a while on the road, Cornelia spoke again, “Ayden, could you do me a favor?”
Ayden, “Sure.”
Cornelia went on, “I'm sure those photos from this afternoon were sent by Clair, but I have no idea where she got them from. Could you help me find out who's aiding her from behind the scenes?”
Ayden, “Sure thing.”
Cornelia, worried that Ayden might hit a brick wall with no leads, gave him a hint, “About that incident, it stirred quite a fuss in Rosenberg back in the day. Folks from Rosenberg should all know about it.
“However, Riverton is thousands of miles away from Rosenberg. At most, the incident was only spread around our school, the majority in Riverton should be clueless. The ones who'd keep photos and newspapers from that time, I bet, should be from Rosenberg.”
Ayden, “Don't worry, I'll find that person.”
Ayden was Marcus' most capable assistant, and he was highly skilled, making him an outstanding bodyguard. For him, finding someone was not a difficult task.
