Chapter 1319 To Investigate


    Holley had to find out who started all those rumors to nder her.


    She made up her mind to have it all thoroughly investigated without involving ck. If he was a part of


    the investigation, he would have the chance to find those horrible things she had done before. She


    couldn''t let that happen.


    So Holley secretly hired a group of private detectives to help her with this matter.


    After letting the detectives know about the details, Holley gave them clear instructions. "I need you to


    find out who started the rumors. The sooner, the better. But please do it in secret. Don''t let anybody


    else know what you are doing. It will also save you some trouble during the investigation. And you''ll get


    paid once your job is done," she assured them. Holley put emphasis on the importance of secrecy, in


    case ck would know.


    "No problem, Miss Ye. We''ll get to the bottom of this as soon as possible. Once we acquire some clues,


    I''ll let you know immediately," one of them promised.


    Holley was d to know they were on the same page.


    She supposed that the rumor starters wouldn''t just leave things like this. They definitely had ulterior


    motives. Fortunately, Holley already had these detectives now. Once they found those evil people, they


    could let her know if they were really nning something.


    After the long day, Holley went to a fancy restaurant to have dinner with ck.


    For one thing, she wanted to thank him for his support and help during the whole time. Also, they


    hadn''t had a romantic date for a couple of days, so she wanted to make up for it.


    "Cheers!" they said in unison as they proposed a toast. Their sses with red wine slightly collided,


    which added to the romantic atmosphere.


    "Honey, thank you for all your help. I really appreciate it." Holley held her ss, intently watching ck


    with his gentle smile, which made the moment more lovely and sweet.


    "Somebody is going to be drunk," ck smiled back as he made his little joke. Holley just finished


    sipping her wine and responded with a sweet smile. Suddenly, ck thought of something important.


    "Holley, when I asked my father for help that day, I told him you were my girlfriend," he started. Holley


    listened intently. "Last weekend you were ill, so I didn''t mention it. Since everything is going well now,


    would you like to go back home with me to see my father?"


    ck thought this was the perfect time to bring it up.


    "Of course. I would love to meet your father. Anytime, when he is convenient," Holley answered without


    hesitation. Deep inside, she still wasn''t ready for this. She didn''t expect ck would bring it up today.


    She was a little scared of meeting Rex.


    But she couldn''t refuse him this time. Since Rex already knew about her, it was only a matter of time


    before they got formally introduced. Besides, no matter whether she went to see him or not, he would


    definitely inquire about her background anyway. In this case, she might as well go back home with


    ck. At least it would make her look polite.


    The most important thing right now was that she shoulde up with some good excuses to make


    ck keep trusting her, even after Rex revealed her ugly past. She believed love could make people

    blind. As long as ck was still crazy about her, she could easily deceive him.


    Holley was relieved after she thought this through. However, when she idently looked up, a familiar


    face came into view. Holley''s eyes grew wide as she saw n walking towards their direction.


    As he got closer, Holley feared that he might reveal what she had done. It took her a lot of efforts to


    impress ck as a perfectdy. She couldn''t possibly let n ruin all this.


    Thinking about this for a while, Holley decided to say "hello" first. She nned to dominate the entire


    conversation to leave n with a few chances to talk.


    So she faked a natural smile and said, "Hi, Mr. Zhao! What a surprise!"


    n was startled by Holley''s sudden greeting and stopped at the table.


    It took a moment before n realized what happened. Holley''s appearance only reminded him of how


    she tricked him a few days ago in the hotel. He still contained a grudge against her because of that.


    n gave Holley a cold stare, that even ck sensed their little tension.


    After a few seconds, n responded in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, Miss Ye. d to see you."


    Then he noticed the guy who was sitting opposite her. Seeing that Holley was with such a tall and


    handsome man, n somehow felt a sense of envy and jealousy.


    But he thought Holley was just fooling around with some inferior, random guy. So he didn''t intend to


    take this guy as someone she was seriously dating.


    "Holley, would you mind to introduce us?" ck suddenly inquired in a low voice.


    "Oh, of course," Holley replied, almost automatically. "This is n Zhao. We have cooperation in


    business. Mr. Zhao, this is ck Hu, one of the shareholders of Tarsan Corporation, and my boyfriend."


    This was the first time that Holley had introduced ck as her boyfriend. He was so thrilled that his


    heart pounded quicker in his chest, like someone was ying a romantic melody with a drum. It felt so


    beautiful and sweet.


    n initially thought of giving them a hard time by throwing a sarcastic and insulting speech on their


    faces. However, he changed his mind after hearing how Holley introduced ck.


    The name "ck Hu" was a little familiar to him. He seemed to have heard it from someone before. He


    was not sure who and when. He pretended to casually look at ck''s face again, and confirmed that


    he definitely saw him before somewhere.


    But n could not recall the specific asion when they would have met. He also tried to juggle into


    his memories but failed to collect any useful information about ck.


    Actually, n had met Rex and ck several times in some banquets before. Rex and ck were


    usually the center of people''s attention in those kind of asions. n was a nobody. It was hard for


    him to get close to these distinguished people. So it was natural that n couldn''t recognize ck.


    However, n was a discreet and tactful man. Even though he didn''t know who ck was exactly, he


    supposed ck must be some big shot businessman. So he had to be polite today.


    ''This woman is lucky she is with ck. It wouldn''t be wise to make a scene in front of him, '' n


    thought to himself. Next time when Holley was alone, he would definitely give her a hard time.


    Since that day Holley fooled him in the hotel, n had been thinking about getting his revenge.


    Even though n remained silent, his look and attitude still struck ck as arrogant. His patience was


    running out. After a while, ck reluctantly reached out to shake his hand.


    "Nice to meet you, Mr. Zhao," he said.


    "Nice to meet you too. I''m sorry, what do you do again?" n used his usual condescending tone in


    response.


    ck didn''t like to answer questions like that. Because almost after every time he let other people


    know about his background, they came to butter him up, making him feel ufortable. So he decided


    not to tell n the truth, but only gave him a vague reply.


    "I am just helping my father with his business."


    n nodded. It was obvious that he was going to meet someone else; he didn''t want to waste time with


    them. Besides, he would prefer not to see Holley right now; this woman could easily irritate him.


    "Oh, you two must be having a date right now. I''d better leave you two alone. My table is over there. I


    have to go now. See you."


    "All right. Bye."


    Holley and ck simultaneously bid him goodbye.
