Brittany strutted over to her desk, slamming her laptop shut with a resonating "Nope."
Derek knew better than to pry further, so he handed her a key card instead. "This is a new place I just bought. I had it decorated to your taste, and the security is top-notch. Check it out when you have the time."
Brittany took the key card with a nonchalant "Sure," clearly not too fussed about it. She wasn't exactly lacking in real estate.
Even though the Bishop family had seen better days, Katelin was still loaded and spoiled Brittany rotten.
Randell Moore had also gifted her several properties. She just didn't fancy living in any of them.
She much preferred staying in hotels where there were other people around.
Derek didn't linger. He needed to report back.
He pushed open the door to Radiant Residences. The lights in the living room were already off, leaving only the soft glow of nightlights illuminating the hallway. The warm, golden light made the place feel cozy.
He climbed the stairs to the third floor.
When he pushed open the door to the study, sure enough, Isaac was still awake.
The man was dressed in a sharp black suit and sitting in a leather chair, his cold eyes fixed on the computer screen. He looked cold and deep.
"Zac."
For the past five years, Isaac had been as cold as ice to everyone. Derek wasn't used to it at first, but he'd gotten used to it.
He walked over to the desk, handed over the investigation files, and sat down. "The one who took Daniel is a young woman named Luna Garcia. She has no connections with you."
He had altered the investigation files. Brittany didn't want anything to do with Isaac anymore.
All he could do was help her keep her identity a secret.
Isaac flipped through the files. Luna Garcia. He had no connections with that person. Luna Garcia was from out of town and was staying long-term at a hotel for work. She was married and had a happy family life.
"Got it."
According to the files, the woman who took Daniel didn't cause any trouble. She even had a meal with him and arranged for the police to bring him back. She clearly didn't mean any harm.
Seeing that Isaac didn't have any suspicions, Derek let out a sigh of relief.
They chit-chatted about work for a bit, and Derek shook his head at the mention of the machines on the production line.
"Zac, you've been working too hard over the years. Nathan's nearly worn out. Give him a few days off."
Isaac paused. He knew his employees had been complaining about being overworked.
