Chapter 1422


    Chapter 1422


    In the previous investigation involving Kaitlyn, it was discovered that she had covert connections with a


    group of individuals. These individuals were part of a small gang hailing from Centrolis, consisting of


    low-level thugs.


    Subsequently, when Kaitlyn leaped off the cliff, these individuals dispersed and vanished without a


    trace.


    Given Nichs’ influence, he could have easily captured them all, but he deemed it unnecessary. They


    were merely insignificant figures unlikely to cause any major trouble.


    It came as a surprise they had now resurfaced in the ck market.


    “Ian has already interrogated these individuals,” Nichs mentioned, sipping his tea. “Theyck


    connections and were simply making a living by engaging in minor disruptions and extorting protection


    fees. Eventually, they entered the illegal drug trade, enticed by its profits, which led them to band


    together.


    “Renee previously contacted them.”


    Zuko’s expression darkened as he listened in silence.


    “She asked them to purchase Safe Bet, a type of sleeping pill. This medication had been banned by


    authorities years ago but still circte in the ck market. ording to their confessions, Renee paid


    them handsomely.


    “After obtaining the drug, she ingested it in the rmended dosage, thereby not endangering her life.


    Astonishingly, she even called them after taking the drug to ask about its precautions.”


    Nichs then disyed the phone records of their conversations to Zuko, who squinted. Renee had


    contacted these individuals before her suicide attempt.


    “All of this was a meticulously calcted scheme on her part!” Zuko eximed bitterly. “She did it to


    manipte Toph into feeling guilty and trap him, all to achieve her goals!”


    Nichs’ expression changed, and he released a long sigh.


    “Zuko, I’m truly sorry… I never anticipated that Renee would take such a path.”


    “Dad, this isn’t your fault,” Zuko reassured him.


    “After discovering all of this, I’ve pondered a lot.” Nichs looked at Zuko, his eyes betraying his


    conflicting feelings. “Renee grew up in an abnormal environment from a young age, making it difficult


    for her to develop a sound mind. Even though she used to be kind and weak and intended to bring


    Pammy back wholeheartedly… a personality like hers will shift to the extreme when slightly provoked.”


    “What do you n to do?”


    “Melvin kept me separated from my child for over 20 years. I won’t allow his daughter to harm my


    family any longer,” Nichs stated.


    Zuko nodded.


    To some people, they might appear ungrateful. After all, Renee had not stooped to the level of seizing


    the Thompsons’ assets when she posed as Pam.


    The circumstances had changed, though. One could not deny her malevolence now just because she


    had once been kind.


    People changed—some for the better, while others became worse.


    “Zuko, I’m not worried with you at thepany’s helm. But there’s one more thing I need you to do.”


    “Go on, Dad.”

    Zuko’s eyes shone. He did not expect his father-inw to share the same idea. He had been


    contemting how to regain Renee’s shares. Unfortunately, he had note up with a feasible


    solution after researching extensively.


    If Nichs supported the idea, however, then this issue would be much simpler!


    Zuko smiled with confidence. “She got those shares and assets from you as gifts. The Thompson


    Group’s bws stipte you can reim gifted shares, but there’s a condition. You can only do it if the


    recipient’s action is deemed as a threat to thepany or someone’s safety.”


    “Given Renee’s current state, she’s bound to engage in something harmful to thepany’s interests.”


    Nichs said, “So, you need to keep an eye on her. Once you catch her red-handed, you’ll act on my


    behalf!”


    He handed a document to Zuko, entrusting him with the authority to retrieve the shares. His signature


    was already there.


    “If it’s not necessary, I won’t attend the board meeting.” Nichs sounded conflicted. “I don’t want to


    face her… After all, Linda and I had always considered her as a daughter. We thought she would turn


    out like Pammy.”


    The reality was that blood ties were the most mystical. Some things were etched into one’s genes and


    could not be easily changed.
