Chapter 931

Surprisingly, Avery's office was unlocked, easily accessible.

Arnold stood in the center, his gaze icily sweeping the surroundings, his heart tightening.

Avery’s lack of defenses meant all crucial documents had already been destroyed, leaving nothing but an empty shell.

“Mr. Chambers cleared this place out early, Prosecutor Arnold. Do you... do you still want to search?” Mr. West stood behind him, drenched in sweat.

Arnold’s eyes blazed, his voice strong and clear:

“Search!”

His team began to scour the office thoroughly.

Arnold refused to give up because, over the years, he had seen all sorts of cunning in corruption cases, especially in hiding illicit gains, as ingenious as drug smuggling.

Who knows, this ordinary-looking office might just conceal a secret passage or hidden compartment. After all, a top dog like Jeff wouldn’t leave without securing a backup plan.

Arnold, relentless, started pulling books off the shelf, flipping through them rapidly, searching for anything concealed.

He went through the entire wall of books, row by row, book by book, his forehead beading with sweat, but he was utterly determined, showing no signs of giving up.

“Prosecutor Arnold, there’s nothing!”

“Nothing here either!”

“I’ve got nothing!”

His team was frustrated, “The office must have been cleaned out in advance, we’re a step too late!”

Arnold’s brows were furrowed, a fire of frustration building in his chest.

Just as he was about to pick up the next book, something caught his eye—

It was a black hardcover edition of “Das Kapital.”

At first glance, it seemed inconspicuous, but a closer inspection revealed a pinhole camera in the spine, covering the entire office!

The camera had run out of battery after being left for so long.

Arnold’s heart pounded, his gaze intense.

He tucked “Das Kapital” under his arm and confidently approached the nervous Mr. West:

“Mr. West, since Avery left you in charge of the Chambers Group, you must be very familiar with its operations. Come with us for a little chat, to assist with the investigation.”

...

Meanwhile, as Elmsworth was engulfed in silent turmoil, Silverlake Harbor was filled with warmth and affection.

Verna, hidden away at Evadne’s place, had not been idle. Leveraging her experience as a maternity nurse, she had been preparing nutritious meals for Nydia Ashbourne, under the watchful eye of Myra Barlow Ashbourne.

Having a professional around made a huge difference.

Myra felt incredibly relieved and considered Evadne’s find a treasure, contemplating how to keep this cheerful girl in the Ashbourne family, offering her a generous salary as Nydia’s personal pregnancy nutritionist.

Although the baby was only a couple of months along and Nydia wasn’t showing much yet, her figure had become fuller and more radiant than her previous slender build, adding a mature charm to her beauty.

In the room, the sisterly pair chatted affectionately.

Evadne, noticing her sister’s slight figure change, had bought her several outfits that fit her new shape perfectly, each one a limited-edition custom design, ensuring she’d never face the embarrassment of matching with someone else.

Her brothers doted on her, and she passed all that affection to Nydia, her only sister.

“Ugh... how did I get so plump? I look like a pig.”

Nydia examined her round, pale face in the full-length mirror, on the verge of tears, “I... I can’t eat anymore, I’m skipping dinner tonight!”
