Considering the reactions of those involved, Fabian’s sudden resignation was beginning to appear

highly suspicious.

As the saying went, “There’s no fear if there’s nothing to hide.”

Given Fabian’s current situation of fleeing, it was evident that his departure was not due to a better

opportunity but rather an attempt to escape trouble.

As the truth began to surface, a layer of determined resolve settled in Kimberly’s eyes.

She returned to her room and dialed David’s number.

“David, do you remember Fabian, the driver we discussed earlier? He had a strong interest in stock

trading and was quite daring, even using leverage. Other than that, he had no other questionable

habits.”

After a brief pause, David responded, “If he is indeed connected to your parents” accident, it’s highly

likely it was motivated by money. He may have faced a margin call, which prompted him to seek help

from behind the scenes and ultimately betray the hands that fed him.”

Kimberly thought to herself that Fabian was indeed a wolf in sheep’s clothing, colluding with outsiders

and betraying the kindness of her parents who had treated him so well.

Eager to apprehend this ungrateful individual in disguise, she asked, “David, has there been any

progress in capturing Fabian recently?”

David’s eyes filled with anger. “Rest assured, even if he’s cun ning, he has weaknesses. I’ve assigned

a team to keep watch near his hometown. As soon as he returns, we’ll capture him.”

He continued, “His mother is not in good health; she has heart problems and asthma. Luckily, there are

neighbors looking after her. But it seems her time is running out. I don’t believe that even after her

passing, her son would remain so heartless as to not return. Besides, Fabian has no skills other than

driving. He left in a hurry and likely didn’t take much money with him. It’s doubtful he can stay abroad

for long.”

On the other end of the phone, Kimberly listened attentively. It seemed that David had everything under

control.

Patience was the key, which applied to any task.

Kimberly had a brief chat with David and then ended the call.

David’s reputation held significant weight, both in Dellmoor and Moranta.

What impressed Kimberly the most was that David had earned everything through his own abilities.

He had been an orphan but possessed exceptional combat skills.

Later, he became a bodyguard, not the ordinary kind, but a top-tier assassin, striking fear into the

hearts of those in the industry.

Due to his outstanding performance, he gained the favor of a certain conglomerate.

Soon, David had accumulated significant wealth.

However, internal conflicts within the conglomerate led him to break away and establish his own path,

ultimately achieving the success he now enjoyed.

Therefore, she was not in a hurry, whether it was apprehending Fabian or the mastermind behind her

parents’ accident.

She firmly believed that the guilty would not escape.

With

preferences. The stylish decor here suits your taste. I knew you’d love it from my first visit.”

Finally, he couldn’t resist asking. “Have you dined here before? I met your good friend. Katherine here

the last time.”

Olivia recognized that she needed to maintain her charade convincingly. She understood that Jaxon

was testing her.

To make her response more convincing, she deliberately acted surprised and raised her voice a few

notches, saying, “Really? You met Katherine in Dellmoor?

“Yesterday, I had a video call with her. She complained that I hadn’t informed her of my visit to

Dellmoor, and she mentioned her plans to visit me in a couple of days.”

Hearing Olivia’s response, even Jaxon, a former accomplished law school student, found her story

believable, mostly because he believed that Olivia was an innocent girl who was incapable of lying.

When the waiter arrived to take their order, Jaxon listed dishes without consulting Olivia, all of which

happened to be her favorites.

Jaxon, watching the playful young woman sitting across from him, smiled indulgently. and replied. “I

ordered all the dishes you like.”

However, Olivia had no intention of giving in. Parting her pink and supple lips, she retorted. “Well,

people’s tastes can change, just like some who didn’t like spi c y food at first but later became addicted

to it.”

After making her comment, Olivia got up to fetch the menu. The waiter noticed and promptly brought it

to her.

Olivia chose to go against the grain today and ordered dishes that weren’t to her liking.

interesting situation was quite rare.
