Chapter 825


    "Mr. Warner." Hoyt looked earnestly at Bradley and said, "I won''t take this job of yours."


    "15,000,000 dors!"


    Bradley grabbed his checkbook and hastily wrote a check for Hoyt. He handed it over, but Hoyt tore it


    in half.


    "Mr. Warner, it''s not about the money," Hoyt said, leaning back in his office chair. "Whether Esther is


    alive or dead, I won''t assist you in doing harm. rk regrets not being able to dissuade you in the past,


    which led to Esther spending five years in prison.


    "Mr. Warner, speaking as an onlooker, let me remind you that there aren''t many five-year periods in life,


    let alone having a woman''s best years squandered in prison due to your arrogance. I won''t take your


    case. Please leave."


    Bradley realized that Hoyt knew rk and must be somewhat aware of his and Esther''s situation.


    "rk came to see you?" Bradley asked.


    Hoyt then recounted the task rk had given him.


    "rk has been searching for Esther''s twin daughters. ording to my investigation, your assistant,


    Cole, ced those twin daughters in Sunflower Welfare."


    Bradley had no knowledge of rk''s ongoing search for his and Esther''s daughters during his


    absence.


    "And then?" Bradley inquired.


    Hoyt continued. "After Cole ran into the ident, there were no other leads."


    Bradley believed that Cole wouldn''t betray him. He remembered clearly that every time Cole went to


    Sunflower Welfare, he visited Pixie and Tinkerbell.


    "Perhaps you can continue the investigation with Pixie and Tinkerbell," Bradley suggested.


    Hoyt gave Bradley a look and calmly stated, "Mr. Warner, this is my business, and it has nothing to do


    with you."


    As a man, Hoyt held Bradley in contempt. The whole world knew that Esther had died, so what was


    Bradley pretending to be devoted here for? If he truly loved Esther, how could he have systematically


    driven her into a corner?


    "Introduce me to another detective," Bradley demanded.


    Hoyt brought up thetest stock market conditions and gently advised, "Mr. Warner, the Warner Group


    is on the brink of bankruptcy. Do you think any detective agency would take on your case?"


    That was true. Oliver hadn''t received the signed transfer of ownership from Bradley. The Quill, Foster,


    and Searle families were collectively attacking the Warner Group. Once a formidable entity, the Warner


    Group might be dismantled from that moment forward.


    Bradley felt defeated and powerless for the first time in his life. After leaving Hoyt''s ce, he headed to


    the Warner Group.

    "Mr. Warner''s here, Mr. Warner''s here!"


    "Mr. Warner, about this case..."


    The moment Bradley appeared at the Warner Group, the employees were hopeful, as if they had seen


    a savior.


    Bradley once again sat in his office. He gazed at the distant buildings and then at his secretary. "Notify


    department heads to convene a meeting," he instructed in a deep voice.


    "Yes, Mr. Warner."


    -


    Half an hourter, the department heads gathered for the meeting.


    Bradley spent half an hour understanding thepany''s affairs andprehended the pressure from


    Oliver.


    This time, he didn''t resist as he had thest time.
