Chapter 57: You Suspect Her?
In the president’s office, Chapman sat in front of his boss’s desk and reported his work in the past few days. In the end, he exclaimed that he had finally sent the gods away.
The gods were the investigation team with five members. They have been stationed in their company for five days and required all kinds of documents, but luckily they didn’t find anything they expected.
The company had had to arrange to cooperate with the gods, serve them exquisite food, and provide luxurious accommodations, and send each person an appropriate gift.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“Did you find out who sent that letter?” Tristan asked gloomily.
Chapman looked awkward and said, “Not yet. The man was cunning. The letter is now in Mayor Harderson’s hand. The man in the police only had a look at it. No more chance to find out more clues.”
Tristan kept silent for a while and then said slowly, “Even though they didn’t find out anything, but this happened as soon as Mayor Harderson took office, it would give him an unpleasant impression. We are still bidding for a few municipal projects. Sometimes success or not is only the difference of a thread. That might be what they are aiming at.”
Chapman nodded to agree. And then he said jokingly, “Well, if you marry Miss Harderson, then you don’t have to worry about the Mayor’s impression on us. Father-in-law surely will support you.”
Tristan squinted at him and said, “I have been in this business for so many years. If I still need a woman’s help, it would be pathetic.”
“But Miss Harderson is an awesome lady. And you have known her for so long. If you don’t…”
Tristan interrupted him, “You think I am too heartless?”
Chapman hesitated. He was a tactful person. He really thought it was stupid to give up such a good opportunity.
Tristan turned serious and said, “You know the term loss limit. Sometimes cruelty is kindness.”
Knowing his boss’ personality that as long as he made up his mind, no persuasion would work, Chapman changed the subject,”How is Kate?”
Tristan laughed lightly, “Not too good, not too bad. Still having tantrums.”
Chapman could tell the difference in his views on the two women. He said, “That girl is good. She is a rare species in this materialistic world.”
Rare species, Tristan repeated in his heart and felt amused.
Chapman felt a little worried instead. “In fact, to keep Kate beside you, it is good for both your personal life and business.”
Tristan’s eyes brightened, “You suspect her?”
Chapman said seriously, “Doesn’t look very likely, but you know, whoever has a little possibility cannot be excluded from suspicion. It is a time bomb if it is not found.”
After Chapman left, Tristan was still sitting on the chair, reflecting what he said.
Chapman had thought about this when he schemed it. However, he himself never suspected her. Kate had told him that she didn’t see the thing in the envelope and he believed her.
He almost forgot the thing he was most stingy to give was trust.
Now it had been proven that she wasn’t that honest, especially about something related to the policeman.
If one were to list Kate’s merits, honesty should be listed first. The second was accepting whatever life gave her.
She had survived several big changes since she came to this city a few years ago. However, this time was the most subversive change to her both mentally and physically.
Luckily, she had a sieve-like brain that was different from normal people, which could screen the elements that caused pain in the shortest time. She took a few days to figure out a conclusion. No matter how nice a person was, he could not avoid trouble or misfortune if he was weak.
The reason why she was in this mire was that she was too weak.
She had too many things to protect and too few resources to use. She sold her conscience last time and body this time.
What else could she sell in the future? She had to make herself stronger.
Since Kate made up her mind, she took out the books. The only advantage of this life as she got a lot of time to use. She needed to learn some skills, not only to support herself but also to enable her to live with self-esteem in this complicated and perilous world.
The next day she received a gift that gave her a leg up.
