    Chapter 383 How Long Before Completion?


    Evan’s eyes shed with sarcasm as Alex hurried out of the vi. ‘Didn’t I search for evidence? It’s


    a shame it disappeared on the day of the incident!”


    The next day, after an entire night of searching for evidence, Alexy on his bed and received a call


    from Paige. He intended to make a lie for the situation but identally answered the call.


    “Pug! What’s the exnation? You disappeared all night! Can’t you give a simple exnation?”


    Paige shouted.


    Alex scratched his head and sat up, looking exhausted. “Please calm down and hear me out.”


    Paige


    anger eased upon hearing Alex’s weary voice. “Okay, go ahead.”


    Alex took a deep breath “Paige, I owe you an apology. The factory isn’t mine.”


    “What? But you told me it was yours!” Paige eximed.


    Alex couldn’t hide the truth any longer. He had initially tried to locate the journalist, but thetter


    had vanished with his family and changed his contact details. It seemed like an invisible force. was at


    y, preventing him from finding any leads


    “The factory belongs to Evan. He asked me to lease it to Caroline,” Alex confessed.


    Paige scoffed. “So, you were nning to keep this from me forever if Evan hadn’t terminated the


    lease?”


    “Evan wouldn’t have taken back the lease if his mother wasn’t involved in the ident,” Alex


    exined.


    Paige said, “How is this rted to Carol? She’s already ming herself for what happened. What


    more does Evan want?”


    “I know it’s not rted, but I searched for clues all night,” Alex replied.


    “Did you find anything?” Paige asked.


    Alex sighed. “No.”


    “So, it’s settled then. Because you couldn’t find anything, it’s Caroline’s fault that Evan’s mother died,”


    Paige concluded.


    Alex reluctantly epted the harsh reality. He knew Evan well enough to understand that if anyone


    else were in Caroline’s shoes, he would have subjected them to severe torment even with the slightest


    suspicion

    Evan had shown mercy to Caroline by merely reiming what was rightfully his.


    Paige said, “There’s nothing more to say, right? Enjoy your life with your best friend. Goodbye!”


    Paige hung up before Alex could respond.


    At TYC.


    Kenny was on the phone as he hurried into the building and identally collided with someone


    while turning a corner.

    The woman’s folders were scattered on the ground, prompting Kenny to quickly end his call and


    help pick them up. “I’m sorry.”


    “It’s okay,” Naomi replied casually.


    Kenny recognized her as the woman Caroline mentioned had been transferred to the HR department.


    “Caroline told me you’ve been transferred. That’s great!”


    Naomi nodded.


    As they gathered the folders, Kenny asked, “I heard you’re still overseeing the old factory project?“.


    Naomi confirmed, “Ms. Shenton didn’t reassign me, so I’m still monitoring the project’s quality and/


    progress.”


    Curious, Kenny asked, “How long until the project ispleted?”


    Naomi looked at him. “Is there a problem?”


    Kenny sighed in frustration. “The current factory is terminating our lease abruptly. You know Caroline;


    she won’t ept any factory that doesn’t meet her standards. Moreover, we still have a backlog of


    orders to fulfill. Do you understand the urgency?”


    Naomi looked concerned. “The factory’s lease is being terminated? If that happens, we risk losing


    our clients‘ trust due to the dyed orders.”
