Chapter 1044

"I'm so pissed." Shannon sounded chagrined. "I was so close but wasn't able to catch up."

She asked after a pause, "How was the lunch I made?"

"Not bad." I gave a fair assessment.

I suddenly recalled the incident last night. Dazaray seemed to know those old bosses, so I asked in

a serious tone, "Do you know what Dazaray does?"

Shannon was astonished. "Why are you suddenly asking about what she does?"

I pursed my lips. "The case Jordan gave me is a little complicated. Dazaray seems to know some

local bosses. That’s why I'm asking."

Shannon clicked her tongue. "Oh, please don't. She used to sell jade bracelets because she has

channels for it. They cost an astronomical amount, so she knows a lot of rich people. But I heard

that she's really cunning because she often sells counterfeit goods to people who can't tell the

difference, so her reputation i s slowly being affected. I suggest not asking someone unreliable like

her. Who knows? She might even set you up again."

I helplessly smiled. "She probably won’t set me up. I'll just ask basic information about the old

bosses and

their companies. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy will you be able to fight a winning battle."

Last night, Dazaray was able to tell at one glance that the man standing beside Theo was called Mr.

Isaac. She probably knew a lot of old bosses like him.

Besides, judging from the look on Mr. Isaac's face last night, he was probably there for the project.

To be able to invite Theo to the club and gain a firm footing beside Theo out of the many bosses out

there showed that his ability was not to be underestimated. Hence, I needed to get to know Mr.

Isaac and his enterprise.

Shannon let out a long sigh. "Missy, you might as well ask Thaddea and me. My grandma has been

living in Hommiton City her whole life and has a pretty solid foundation here. She knows these local

enterprises like the back of her hand. Thaddea’s boyfriend is a property agent. Do you think he’s

worse off than Dazaray when it comes to interacting with the rich?"

I was a little surprised and did not expect them to offer so much help. Sure enough, having friends

opened up more opportunities.

I thought about it and asked, "Are you still downstairs?"

"Yeah.” Shannon sounded dissatisfied. "Come down and have a cup of coffee with me. I'll help you

ask everything you want to know. Don't underestimate me next time. Although I'm a socially idle

person, that doesn't mean that I’m socially useless."

I could not help but laugh. "Sure, Missy. I'll go downstairs right away."

I grabbed my bag and went downstairs after hanging u p the phone.

Shannon was sitting on the lobby's sofa. She was using her phone, and there was a pile of

shopping bags beside her. It seemed like she had gone to the mall to make a big sweep.

When she saw me, she put her phone in her purse and got up to say to me with a grin, "Let’s go

and have some afternoon tea together."

I noticed that most of the things she bought were luxury items. I asked curiously, "Does your family

own a mine?"

She did not need to attend work or school and just spent money all day?

Shannon smiled slightly. "We indeed have a mine, but i t belongs to my grandma. Ever since she

learned that my parents sent me to that school and nearly got me killed out there, she has forbidden

them to control me. She took it upon herself to watch after me. That's why I'm living the life now."

Some people were born to work hard their whole lives to make a living; some were born to just sit

and wait until the day they died.

I did not ask any more questions. I helped her carry her shopping bags. I got ready to go and have

afternoon tea with her.
