Early the next morning, Malcolm went downstairs to find Tabitha sitting at the dining table with an
empty te and half a ss of milk.
She was reading a book, her long eyshes hanging down, casting a shadow under her eyelids.
The rising sun outside the floor-to-ceiling window flooded in, casting a faintyer of light on her body,
as if she would melt into the warmth the
next moment.
Malcolm frowned slightly, inexplicably disliking the feeling he was having
now.
George passed by and whispered in Malcolm’s ear, “You might as well exin what happenedst
night. Mrs. Sinir is good-natured. If she knows that you didn’t mean to offend her, she won’t keep
holding the grudge against you.”
Malcolm stiffened slightly.
He always acted swiftly and decisively and never bowed his head to anyone, let alone humbled himself
to coax women.
However, even if he didn’t like Tabitha, he had to admit that he was at fault for sending the flowers to
Naomi.
“Okay,” he responded faintly, walked over, and sat down in front of Tabitha.
Tabitha didn’t even look up, as if she hadn’t seen him.
Malcolm suppressed his mixed emotions, looked at her, and said slowly, “What happenedst night-”
Before he could finish, Tabitha suddenly got up, drank the remaining half ss of milk, and left the
dining table with her book.
Malcolm was frozen in ce, and he struggled to describe his feelings at

In the past, Tabitha would always wait for him to have breakfast with a smile on her face.
He subconsciously called out, “Tabitha.”

Tabitha stopped and turned to look at him indifferently. Her clear hazel eyes were emotionless.
“If you’re asking me the questionst night, I will still give the same answer. I shoveled the flowers.
Whatever you think,” she said.
Tabitha’s cold gaze silenced whatever Malcolm was about to say.
Just then, the phone rang. It was Saul.
“Mr. Malcolm Sinir, Mr. ric Sinir hase over and is waiting for you in thepany,” Saul
informed.
ric had been neglecting thepany’s matters for quite some time. It might not be a good sign that
he showed up early in the morning and waited for Malcolm.
Subconsciously, Malcolm felt that Tabitha had gone to ric again to talk about the flowers.
But thinking that he had misunderstood her, Malcolm held back his
temper.
“I’ll be right there.” Malcolm hung up the phone only to find that Tabitha was no longer around.
The feeling of being ignored overwhelmed Malcolm. Suppressing his displeasure, he hurried to the
In the office, ric was seated in the boss’ chair with a walking cane.
“You’re here?” ric greeted Malcolm.
“Grandpa, why did youe to thepany to see me so early?”

“I have something to talk to you about,” ric stated, looking at Malcolm, his cloudy eyes still dignified.
“Malcolm, I’ve entrusted thepany to you for many years. It’s time for me toe to check on the
results.”
Malcolm’s heart skipped a beat.
ric spoke with eloquence, every word resonating with strength. “Naomi’s pregnancy is not entirely
out of the question. However, the condition is that you must prioritize Tabby’s safety.”
Malcolm spected that ric knew Tabitha was injured because she went to see Naomi.
ric continued, “I don’t want Tabby to get hurt again. Send a message to that woman. If something
happens to Tabby’s baby, she can’t give birth
too.”
Malcolm instinctively wanted to exin, “Grandpa, you misunderstood. What happened at Four
Seasons Bar that day was just an ident-”
ric interrupted, “I’m sure your assistant will soon find out if it was an ident. You insist on keeping
those dubious people. I don’t mind, nor do I want to intervene in what you do behind my back.
However, refrain from bringing that woman home in the future to cause distress for Tabby.”
Malcolm’s expression changed slightly. He knew something was amiss that night and had already
dispatched someone to investigate the bar.
‘Does Grandpa know anything about it? Why does he think it has to do with Naomi?’ he wondered.
Malcolm called Saul in as soon as ric left and asked, “Any progress on the matter regarding Four
Seasons Bar?”
“Yes,” Saul replied.
Saul had been working for Malcolm for years, and his ability to do things. was first-rate. It was easy for
him to find a strange clue.

“The knocked-down wine rack was recently purchased by Four Seasons. Bar and reportedly originated
from a second-hand store,” Saul exined the clue he found during the investigation.
‘An upscale nightclub shopping for second-hand goods and even cing it in the most noticeable lobby
of the nightclub? There’s something unusual about all of this, Malcolm contemted.

Malcolm tapped his slender fingers on the desk and said in a cold voice, “You’ve been searching for
two days. Is that all you got?”
‘Since there was a problem with the origin of the wine rack, we shall investigate the boss over there,
look into the deliveryman, and examine the wine rack installer, Malcolm thought.
Saul gulped and mustered up his courage to say, “Mr. Sinir, it seems that this matter has something
to do with Ms. Boyle.”
Malcolm’s eyes suddenly darkened. He ordered, “Make it clear.”
“The drunkard who attacked Mrs. Sinir that day was the installer of the wine rack. The installer
received 10,000 dors a week ago. And the wire ount belongs to a woman named Sylvie
Zimmerman. Sylvie is a high school friend of Ms. Boyle’s,” Saul borated.
In just a few words, the message was earth-shattering.
Saul was afraid that this matter had too much to do with Naomi, so he didn’t dare to continue his
investigation.
Malcolm’s expression changed slightly and snapped, “Whatever you do, find these two people first!”
“Yes sir!”
