Chapter 219


    ric narrowed his eyes. “She’s not here? Then, where is she?”


    “We don’t know, Mr. Cadogan. She’s a customer, so she wouldn’t tell us where she


    was going.”


    Terrance nodded. “True, but…” He narrowed his eyes as well. “Is she really gone, or


    are you just covering for her?”


    “No, she’s gone. Right before you came too.”


    ric looked even more upset. She left right before I came? That’s the same thing


    that happened thest time I went to her house. This time too? Is that really a coincidence? ric


    looked at the receptionist and asked coldly, “She left alone?”


    The receptionists froze for a moment and exchanged a look. “N-No.”


    ric sneered, then he left. He had no more patience to hear the receptionist’s exnation. Terrance


    quickly followed him. “It’s unfortunate that Miss Selwyn left. Mr. Cadogan, should we get our men to


    find out where she went?”


    All of a sudden, he bumped into ric. He quickly backed off, terrified because he


    didn’t think ric would stop all of a sudden. “Sorry, sir. Are you alright?”


    “Unfortunate? You think this is a coincidence?” ric shot him a look as icy as the

    air of the tundra.


    Terrance pursed his lips and carefully asked, “Do you mean she’s staying away from


    you, Mr. Cadogan?”


    A storm brewed in ric’s eyes. Fearing for his life, Terrance curled up a bit and


    sighed. Since ric wasn’t saying anything, he asked, “Should we look for her?”


    Look for her? ric sneered. Why? To see her dating some other guy? He then left.


    Unable to guess what he was thinking, Terrance quickly followed. “Should we find


    her, Mr. Cadogan?”


    The response Terrance received was the car door mming shut, then the car


    revved up and left, sting him with exhaust fumes. Why me?


    Once she had settled down, Victoria gave Bane nine grand. “Here. Six months of


    rent.”


    Bane took it. “Thanks.”


    “How much did you spend on the nannies?” Three nannies working different shifts


    is going to cost a lot. Victoria wanted to save money, so she would only hire one


    nanny. After all, the kids had to go to school, so the nanny didn’t have to spend too


    much time keeping an eye on them. She didn’t have to work at night, so she could


    take care of the children too.


    “Not much. You don’t have to pay me for that.”


    “But…”


    “You’ve worked hard for mypany. Take this as a parting gift.”


    “Purely a parting gift? No strings attached?”


    “Of course.”


    “Very well. Then get me one nanny.”


    “Victoria…”


    “Or I’m not taking anything from you.”


    “Very well.”


    In the end, only one nanny was left. Victoria had already paid the rent, so she was


    feeling a lot better now. It was gettingte too, so Bane left. Once he was gone,


    Victoria prepared the beds and turned on the AC for the children so they could


    sleep, while she went into the study to work.


    sone


    Bane considered everything before he rented this ce to her. The study was big,


    and there was even a French window too. Right beside it was a big bookshelf, and


    there was even adder to reach the topmost shelves. Victoria loved this ce, but


    she was not in the mood to enjoy the view. Quickly, she checked something on her


    If those houses were under her name, then all the things he gave her that she


    refused, all the money he gave her that she gave him back just so they would be


    even, would have been for nothing. Victoria tried checking the estates’ details.


    Some were easily searchable, but the finer details, as the agent had said, could


    never be searched.


    If she wanted to know the dates and all the assets she had, she needed someone to


    help her. Victoria checked the time and quickly called her father’swyer.


    “Miss Selwyn?” Mr. Saunders was surprised that Victoria would call. “Is this about


    your father?”


    “No. I just wanted to ask you something. Can you rmend some goodw firms


    for me?”


    “Hm? I do have a junior I can rmend, but he’s still handling a case recently. Is


    this urgent?”


    “Not really.”


    “I’ll give you his number, then. Tell him if you need anything. I’ll give him a heads up.”


    “Thank you, Mr. Saunders.” She hung up and continued her research. Five minutes


    “Hello, Miss Selwyn. I’m Mr. Saunders’ junior, Bernard Sandler.”


    “Hello, Mr. Sandler.” Victoria noticed the sound of chatting and raising toasts in the


    background. He must be busy.


    Just when she was about to say something, he asked, “Mind adding me on


    Facebook? Mr. Saunders told me what happened, and I want to know what you’re looking for. If you’re


    fine with me, I can help you find out what you want to know. I’ll


    bill youter. Is that alright?”


    “Sure, thank you.” Victoria liked how he worked. Fast, efficient, and she didn’t need


    to say much.


    Bernard put his phone down and said, “Go on without me, guys. I have work to do.”


    “At this hour?”


    “Saunders called me. This is his friend, so I can’t say no. See you around.” Bernard


    quickly left and added Victoria on Facebook. A short whileter, Victoria gave him


    her details. When he noticed the name, Bernard froze.


    Victoria? Wait. That name… If I’m right, that’s the recipient of a huge sum of


    inheritance. My mentor asked me to handle that case. To confirm things, Bernard


    quickly called his mentor.
