Audaciously Making Inquiries
A secret room? There’s some secret room again?
Kyle’s ebony eyes narrowed a fraction. Why is it that the Maupays love to live in secret rooms? Are
they hiding something shady or plotting something?
“Did you find anything unusual about the two other places?”
“I haven’t had time to investigate the pharmacy and residence closely.”
“Go and do it now. Also, investigate whether those few secret rooms are hiding a secret of some sort.”
“Understood, Mr. Kyle. We have men lying in wait at Maupay Manor, and we’ll immediately capture
Sally’s brother when a suitable opportunity arises.”
“Great!”
At that time, I’ll certainly be able to unravel part of the mystery after questioning Sally’s brother!
Juan’s interest was likewise piqued when he learned of those few places.
He sat at his desk in the office, his mesmerizing eyes brimming with intrigue.
While twirling the pen in his hand, he murmured, “Abandoned manors, a pharmacy, and a residence…
How are they related to one another? The pharmacy couldn’t have been set up by the Maupays, no? It
makes no sense that they’d open a pharmacy to make it convenient for the subordinates to get
medicine and consult a medical practitioner. Besides, there’s the issue of the other two abandoned
manors. Do the Maupays all love living in secret rooms with no sunlight instead of living above ground
in the open? How strange!”
“Therefore, there must be some secret.”
“Yes, I think there must be some huge secret. This matter has aroused my curiosity, so I’ll also
investigate it thoroughly.”
“That’s for the best. I believe that there’ll be good news very soon once you start investigating the
matter.”
“Of course! Good news is a given…”
At that, Juan abruptly snapped his head over and stared at Kyle with a peculiar look in his eyes.
“What’s wrong?”
“Speaking of good news, I have a question for you. What’s with you and Sally? You know full well that
she wants to have a romantic relationship with you, so why did you take the bait?”
“It’s only when I do so will she take the bait as well.”
Hearing that, Juan was silent for a moment. “In order to have her show her true colors as soon as
possible, you actually went as far as selling yourself out and even used the rumors to paint yourself as
her boyfriend. You didn’t only take the bait, but you even gave her your heart! So, you have feelings for
her and desire to marry her?”
This time, Kyle went silent for a long while. “I’m just putting on a show.”
In response, Juan scoffed, “Even you yourself probably don’t believe such a lie. You’d never do such a
thing with women you don’t like, not even giving them the opportunity to get close to you. After all, what
happened to those socialites who wanted to approach you in the past? You ruthlessly kicked all of them
away when they were still a few meters away. She’s the only one who receives special treatment.”
Then, he continued, “And now, she’s highly respected in the company with her identity as your
girlfriend. I can see that she’s exceedingly smug. Never mind that, but she’s even audaciously making
inquiries about the company’s financial situation and capital flow. She hasn’t even married you, yet she
wants to assume control of the Seet family’s finances? How ambitious when both Grandma and
Mommy are still alive and kicking!”
Assume control of the Seet family’s finances? That casual remark of his reminded Kyle of that
possibility.
Hmm, she wants to know about the company’s capital flow? Could it be that she’s interested in the
company’s capital chain?
He then phoned the department manager in charge of the company’s capital flow and ordered him to
keep an eye on Sally without alerting her about it.
“Will do, Mr. Kyle. I understand your meaning.”
“You’re to notify me immediately no matter what she asks you and repeat every single word without fail.
As for what you’re to do after that, I’ll tell you at that time, and you just need to do as I say.”
“Understood, Mr. Kyle.”
No sooner had the manager in charge of finance hung up the phone than a knock sounded on his door.
Then Sally pushed open the door and walked in.
“Why are you here, Ms. Sally? Please have a seat.”
Sally studied the finance department carefully, only to find that the entire layout was elegant and
harmonious, exhibiting style and creativity. There were also a few pots of plants that were thriving,
lending the space a clean and refreshing feeling.
Subsequently, she scrutinized the manager of the finance department. From his features, she could tell
at first glance that he was an upright person with much integrity. I’ve got to be cautious when speaking
to such a person. I can’t be too direct when I’m meeting him for the first time.
