Chapter 37 A Great Thing from Heaven

"What did that man look like?" Osmond asked while taking a puff of his cigar.

"They were too far away from me, and they left quickly. And, and the man's face was covered in blood, I didn't get a good look, but I know that was a, a guy..."

Upon hearing this, Osmond let out a heavy sigh and narrowed his eyes slightly. So it turned out, there was a fish that got away back them.

"I... I only know this much, please... please let me go, I promise I won't say anything..." The thin man coughed up another mouthful of blood before speaking. Without finishing his words, Brian stepped on his chest, making a crisp sound of breaking bones.

"Brian, are you sure that guy at Crown Hotel that day was not a member of the Miles family?" Osmond asked after glancing at the man on the ground.

"Yes! I know all the people in the Miles family, that was definitely a stranger face!"

"It seems that the remnant of the Miles family have known some influential people."

"Uh-huh, Osmond, it's pretty simple. I'll go grab Fletcher's daughter to ask her. Then we'll know."

"No, we should not get involved." Osmond continued after a brief pause, "At Crown Hotel, he only mentioned the daughter of the Miles family who was forced to jump into the river, but he didn't say anything about the Miles family's extermination. Moreover, so many days have passed and he hasn't come to our door. It's very likely that he doesn't know who is responsible for the Miles family's affairs!"

"Got it!" Brian nodded after a brief moment of thought.

"Give it to Eddie to handle!" Osmond took another puff of his cigar before adding, "Tell him to take care of this personally. The fewer people who know about it, the better!"

"Okay." Brian nodded and pulled out his phone to dial a number.

It was 11:00 AM. Zeph and his second son Robert, along with Beatrice, were discussing the Ozin Tower contract in his office at the Knight Group headquarters building. Normally, Zeph rarely came into the office as he had already handed over the position of CEO to Robert. He only held onto the title of Chairman. However, because the Ozin Tower contract was so important during this time period, he would come into work for meetings and discussions when he had free time.

"Beatrice, what did Gilbert say? Any new developments?" Zeph picked up his tea cup and took a sip.

"Grandpa, don't worry. It should be soon. Gilbert said he had his dad talk to one of Ozin Tower's department heads last night, and he has verbally agreed to help us negotiate with their company. If everything goes smoothly, we should have an answer in today or tomorrow."

"Really? That's great!" Zeph smiled happily. "If this is successful then you will be our Knight family hero! I'll promote you directly as Vice President in charge of marketing for our group."

"Thank you grandpa! This is what I should do!" Beatrice beamed with joy.

"So, how far have you gone with Gilbert? Although their family is not among the four major ones in Ozin, they are much stronger than our family. If you can marry him, it would be a good match for you." Continued Zeph.

"Grandpa, I haven't thought about it yet. No rush!" Beatrice laughed and replied. For her part, she had no intention of marrying Gilbert at all. She was only his girlfriend temporarily because she needed to use him. Her marriage goal was clear-she must marry into one of the four major families. As for who specifically to marry, it didn't matter as long as they were a direct blood relative of one of the four major families.

Just then, Zeph's phone rang and he picked up to hear his secretary on the other end.

"Don't you know I'm in a meeting? What's up?"

"Sir, people from Ozin Tower Investment Department are here specifically to sign contracts with our company and they requested Miss Knight to sign it personally." The secretary's voice was slightly excited.

"Really!?" Upon hearing this news, Zeph almost jumped up with excitement.

"Yes, I just took them to the conference room."
