Chapter 1001



After parking the car, he approached the door and keyed in the password.

But the password was incorrect.

Stunned, Lucas tried again, only to get the same result.

His brow furrowed.

He understood the situation now.

Belinda had changed the password.

Pulling out his phone, Lucas attempted to call Belinda, but the call failed to connect.

This scenario was all too familiar to him.

Belinda had blocked his number once more.

A wave of powerlessness overcame him.

Taking a deep breath, he was about to dial Bethany’s number when a call from Gordon came through. He quickly answered the call.

“Mr. Clark, we’ve identified the person behind Brent and his brother’s actions! You need to return to the company immediately!” Gordon’s voice conveyed urgency.

Lucas’ expression immediately darkened. Without another word, he hung up and turned to head back to his car.

Triumph Consortium, the CEO’s office.

Gordon was already waiting for Lucas at the door when he arrived. They stepped into the office.

As soon as Lucas was settled in his chair, Gordon said, “The surveillance camera monitoring Brent’s street has been tampered with, but the other cameras in the vicinity are fine. I went ahead and collected all the footage from the surrounding streets and had Brent go through every single frame. It took some time, but he eventually found the man who had come to him with the offer. The man was clever enough to wear a mask and sunglasses. He even changed his clothes as soon as he was done talking to Brent. But Brent remembered a vital clue—the man’s gait. Brent said that the man had a problem with his left foot.”

After a pause, he continued, “Brent couldn’t be 100% sure about the man in the footage being that person, though, since the man already had his mask and sunglasses on when they talked. Brent never got a good look at his face. Anyway, we focused on this particular guy and tracked his movements until he stopped at his next destination and got out of the car. By then, his mask and sunglasses were gone.”

Gordon took a deep breath. His tone grew more serious. “We identified the man as Aiken Potter, a subordinate of Galen Happer, who is the current head of the Happer family. Last year, on Kylee’s birthday, Galen handed Aiken over to her. Apparently, Aiken is to obey Kylee’s every command. Aiken is now working for Kylee.”

A fierce look flashed across Lucas’ eyes.

Kylee.

It was her!

Gordon noted his boss’ dark expression and swallowed hard in fear. Then, he added, “We also did a thorough background check on Kylee and discovered that…”

“She has an active bank account overseas. That account receives a substantial amount of money at a specific time every year. In fact, it recently had a one-million-dollar transfer. And Aiken’s bank account shows a record of that same one-million-dollar transaction.”
