Chapter 1406 The Truth Revealed


    The situation was indeed peculiar. If their suspicions were correct, Kendrick must have been the puppet


    master behind it all. Yet, Kendrick was also probing into the matter, skillfully sidestepping the secretary.


    Pondering over this, Beryl gave a slight shake of his head. The world of the wealthy and influential was


    indeed riddled with intrigue.


    "Got it. Continue the investigation into the subsidiarypany," Colton said, nodding without much


    reaction.


    Beryl didn''t borate further. He simply rose from his seat and stretched. "I''ll get a good night''s sleep


    tonight and continue the investigation tomorrow. However, Kendrick is on high alert at the moment. We


    need to stay vignt and not rush into things."


    Colton didn''t respond, his gaze fixed on theputer screen, his thoughts hidden.


    Beryl shrugged and nced at Wendy, who was still eavesdropping. He shed a smile. "Aren''t you


    going to rest, Miss Wendy Gardner? If you don''t, all your beauty treatments will have been for naught."


    She really couldn''t conceal anything; even her eavesdropping was so tant.


    Upon realizing that she had been caught and even teased by Beryl, Wendy immediately averted her


    gaze in defiance.


    "Hmph." Wendy harrumphed before getting up and leaving the room, ignoring Beryl''s teasing.


    This jack*ss is just like Colton. Neither of them keeps their promises!


    Beryl chuckled helplessly, then turned to Colton. "I''ll take Wendy out for a while tomorrow. Otherwise,


    with her temperament, she''ll be bored to death these days."


    "Sure, take her out," Colton replied without objections. He had been thinking of finding an opportunity to


    take Wendy out himself, but he had been swampedtely. Having Beryl take her was just as good; it


    would help distract Wendy.


    Seeing Colton''s agreement, Beryl nodded and exited the room.


    Once Wendy returned to her room, she carefully locked the door. She nced at her phone and


    noticed that her sister-inw hadn''t checked her phone often. She hadn''t responded to the message


    about the child from the day before.


    It didn''t matter.


    Wendy typed out a detailed message about what she had overheard. She hadn''t expected the


    secretary to be so ruthless. Then again, she hadn''t seemed to have met that secretary before.


    Meanwhile, Beryl stood outside Wendy''s room, hesitating to knock. She decided against it and figured


    she would send the message through Wendy''s social media the next day.


    Having made up his mind, Beryl returned to his room to check out what local delicacies were avable


    nearby. He nned to take Wendy out to try them the next day.


    After a good night''s sleep, Nicole checked her phone and realized someone had texted her the night


    before.


    A message?


    Nicole suddenly remembered Wendy''s message. She had seen it but hadn''t responded due to the


    base incident the day before.


    Thinking of this, Nicole quickly unlocked her phone and saw that Wendy had sent numerous


    messages.


    She read each message carefully, and her expression turned serious as she went through them. Nicole


    didn''t even know the name of the female secretary, but she couldn''t believe that someone was plotting


    against the base.


    However, the message also mentioned that Kendrick was investigating the matter. Nicole couldn''t


    fathom how a female secretary could have such influence unless Kendrick was involved in some way.


    Her brow furrowed as she considered the implications, her previous assessment of Kendrick''s power


    now uncertain.


    If even Kendrick''s secretary had such connections, how formidable could Kendrick himself be? Nicole


    pondered this before sending Wendy an exnation about the child issue, followed by discussing the


    rest of the matter. She wanted to gather as much information as possible, as more knowledge would be


    beneficial in dealing with the situation.


    "Nicole, I''m leaving," Chloe''s voice came from outside the room.

    Nicole nced at the time and realized howte it was. Without waiting for her response, she heard the


    sound of the security door being closed from outside. Nicole smiled wryly, then slowly rose and started


    perusing the new report.
