Chapter 606


    currently very concerned that there are only two or three days left before Raymond Corporation’s


    investment day, and tomorrow isn’s birthday again.


    Rumours are flying thatn is smitten with a young designer. Carlene knows she needed to move, or


    the Shepard family might miss out on the Raymond Corporation’s help.


    Just then, she got a call saying something’s been delivered.


    Carlene frowned and went to retrieve the item, only to discover it was a notebook with a damaged chip


    inside.


    Recalling thatn had inspected her notebook before, it hits her- this notebook must hold some huge


    secret.


    This could be the very thingn and Fitch have been searching for!


    Carlene was thrilled and dialledn immediately.


    It’s nearing midnight, and at the stroke of twelve, it will ben’s birthday.


    Friends have been asking how he ns to celebrate this year.


    Usually, he would hang out with Tyler and the guys first, but this year Holden has returned, and he


    must go home first to see Holden first…


    At 11:50, Carlene sent a text, and even attached a photo.


    n, is this what you were looking for?]


    Fitch confirmed right away, “That’s the notebook at Carlene’s?”


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    Carlene sent another text ton saying she would deliver it personally and wished him a happy


    birthday.


    She was so pumped she headed straight out the door and into her car.


    But she only got three kilometres before she stopped.


    A car was blocking her path. She tried to reverse, but suddenly, there were two cars behind her.


    Carlene watched as several bodyguards approached her vehicle and to her shock, they opened her


    locked car door.


    She screamed in fear as a masked man stepped out of the car in front.


    “Where’s the item?”


    Carlene’s pupils dte. She was nning to use this item as a ticket to the Shepard family’s prosperity!


    Maybe she could even rece Maja and marryn!


    But in this critical moment, she finds courage from somewhere, steps on the gas and bolts.


    The masked man didn’t expect this move. The car blocking her path gets shoved aside, and Carlene’s


    car starts smoking.


    The man’s eyes were icy as he ordered his bodyguards to pursue her, “Handle it beforen and Fitch’s


    people get here.”


    Two cars immediately chased after Carlene.


    Carlene’s car got hit hard, and smoke billows even more.


    Her car catches fire, and that’s when she starts to panic.


    “Help! Help!”


    She flings open the door and scrambles out,pletely forgetting the allure of wealth. Nothing was


    more important than survival!


    But she left the notebook in the ming car, and a corner caught fire.


    The bodyguards were about to rush over, but just then,n and Fitch’s car arrived.


    Carlene sat by the road crying, watching the cars chasing her quickly make a U–turn and disappear.


    “Where’s the notebook?” Fitch looks a bit anxious.


    Carlene, still crying, pointed to the burning car. The notebook is already half burnt.


    The next second, the car explodes due to the fire, and the notebook ispletely consumed by the


    roaring mes.


    Carlene realizes she’s been rescued and immediately throws herself at his legs.


    n, I almost died.”


    Ian doesn’t respond. Fitch knows he’s upset. After all, the truth about his brother’s death could’ve been


    in that notebook.


    n.” Fitch pats his shoulder while Carlene continues to sob, clinging to his legs.


    Carlene nodded.


    “Why didn’t you bring it out earlier?”


    couldn’t find it because someone had stolen it, so I gave you another one. I didn’t expect the notebook


    to reappear today.”


    Ian frowned. Something did not add up.


    If those people were also after the notebook and they had stolen it earlier, why would they go to great


    lengths to stop Carlene now?


    He retracted his leg and silently headed back to his car.


    Fitch nced at the woman still sobbing on the ground, “This involved Eric, Ms. Shepard, you should


    tone down the drama.”


    Carlene’s face darkens. She just had a brush with death, but these two seemed to care less about her


    well–being.


    Fitch lit a cigarette, looking a bit annoyed, and followedn into the car.


    Carlene watched the car drive away, her fists clenched. Not one person helped her up!


    Didn move on that quickly?


    That annoying woman Maja, stolen from her and made him so cold!


    Taking a deep breath, she dialled a number. Hearing that Maja has split the Pennyfeather family’s


    business in two, her eyes sh with contempt. Maja wanted a piece of the entertainment industry. How


    naive! It’s all about connections. What makes her think she could seed?!


    Her face is twisted with malice, and she has a n.
