Chapter 590


    Belrose Avenue was a remotemercial area. Heather and Matthias would usually never visit such a


    ce if it weren’t for Leon today—and how Leon even found this ce was a mystery.


    Fortunately for Matthias, the drive was smooth, and there were no traffic jams along the way. On the


    way here, Matthias didn’t care at all whether the road was congested—he drove extremely fast, and


    Heather didn’t stop his dangerous driving at all. The two of them paired together was a threat to the


    other drivers on the road; someone should really talk some sense into them about this.


    However, Heather and Matthias weren’t ordinary people that one could just tell what to do. Perhaps it


    was because they’d never gotten into any serious idents, but they’d be more and more


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    reckless on the road; whoever was in the car with them would have their hearts in their throats.


    On the other end, Leon had been urging Heather on Messenger to the point she had lost her patience,


    but he still refused to tell her what exactly the matter was, other than the fact that it was an official


    business matter.


    There were countless guesses in Heather’s mind as to what kind of official business there could be at


    Belrose Avenue. When we see Leonter, I’ll have to teach him a lesson. It’d better be something big,


    or else Leon’s going to die a miserable death.


    “Hey… your Messenger keeps ringing. What’s going on?” Matthias asked Heather, as he was no longer


    able to ignore the Messenger prompts.


    Heather muted her phone, and immediately, there was no sound. Matthias figured Heather never


    yed by the rules, so it wasn’t a surprise to him.


    “When did your business expand to Belrose Avenue anyway?” Matthias asked again. He was also


    wondering what kind of official business there was to talk about at Belrose Avenue.


    “I need silence.” Heather regretted sitting in the passenger seat. If she had known that Matthias would


    be this chatty, she would have sat in the backseat so he wouldn’t try to talk to her.


    As soon as he heard that, Matthias immediately quieted down and stopped making any noises.


    Heather opened the Messenger app on her phone, still ignoring the flurry of incessant messages


    “Do you usually check the official ounts?” Heather casually searched for a topic. However, it was


    one that would catch people off guard.


    “Official ounts?” Hearing Heather’s question, Matthias did give it a serious thought, but he really


    didn’t care about those official ounts on Facebook. He only felt strange that Heather would ask


    something like this out of the blue.


    “Well, those Facebook or Instagram public ounts that were verified? Haven’t you heard of those?”


    Usually, even Heather wouldn’t care too much about these things, but she thought that it was


    something that everyone would know about.


    “I don’t really pay attention to those things, though,” Matthias said casually. However, at the same time,


    he made a mental note to himself that he would look into it when he had the time.


    “New media operations are in full swing now, you should know more about these.” Heather continued


    on this topic with Matthias as she was considering whether thepany should grow toward this


    direction.


    “I have always regarded this as only a mode of operation, and I will dedicate someone to see it


    through, but our operation mode will always be the same,” Matthias said nonchntly, thinking that


    Heather’s focus was rather strange. Could it be that she wants to develop further into we-media? he


    thought to himself.


    “Traditionalpanies have yet to develop into new media, and they take the importance of new


    media differently. Maybe mypany will be able to find a shortcut for this.” Heather discussed her


    insight about herpany with Matthias.


    Before this, Heather had always been abroad and did not understand the development of the domestic


    new media, but recently, she did a little bit of research and developed an understanding that there was


    a lot of profit to be made there if managed properly.


    “If you think it is feasible, why don’t you just carry on with it?” Matthias would agree with any decision


    Heather made. To her, starting a business was not about sess or failure, but how sessful it could


    be and how much one could achieve from it.


    In fact, Matthias was very confident about Heather’s abilities. However,pared to his confidence in


    her, Heather didn’t have such confidence in herself at all. Ultimately, Heather was not worried about


    failure but rather that her goal could not be achieved. Herpany had yet to beunched, but


    Heather already had a whole set of ns in her mind.


    “Well, if we go ording to my ideas, mypany might never start at all,” Heather said bitterly as she


    recently had a different idea about starting a business.


    “Are you tired of the industry? Or do you see yourself more clearly now?” Matthias understood


    Heather’s implication—it seemed that Heather’s interest and ambition no longerid in the business


    industry.


    “I’m neither tired of it, nor do I have a clear picture. Maybe this is why I am confused,” Heather said


    truthfully to Matthias. After all, there was no need to keep this from him.


    “Since you are willing to tell me all this, does it mean that you’re going to leave the industry? To get


    away from the disputes?” Matthias continued to pry, hoping for Heather to speak the truth.


    “Do you want me to leave the industry?” Heather was also a sensible person. Since Matthias was so


    concerned, there was naturally his own intentions to it.


    “I only hope you can do whatever that you like.” Matthias never liked seeing Heather feel troubled—he


    hoped that one day, Heather could be honest to herself, as even he could feel that she didn’t like what


    she was doing now.


    “Apart from building a world in the business industry, I can’t think of anything better to do.” Heather had


    always had this idea rooted in her heart, but her interest in it was getting more and more faded by the


    day.


    “Let’s not talk about this anymore.” Matthias dropped the topic, knowing that Heather didn’t want to talk


    about it further. Come to think of it, their topics of conversation were always so limited, and most of the


    time, they would be left with nothing to say.


    The both of them couldn’t be like ordinary people, and together, they were more like business partners


    than anything else. Matthias had been trying to change this situation, but there hadn’t been much


    progress.


    The main reason was that Heather didn’t want to cooperate. Many times when Matthias wanted to talk


    a little deeper with Heather, she would put up walls and walls of defenses, leaving Matthias no choice


    but to keep a distance.


    Matthias could only wander around outside Heather’s heart, without a way to get in. He could only say


    that Heather did a really good job at protecting herself so that she would not be easily hurt by others.


    Soon after, they reached Belrose Avenue—it only took them over twenty minutes to get there. Heather


    looked out the window of the car, trying to spot Leon on the road.


    In fact, it was Leon who told Heather through Messenger that he was right by the road, and they would


    definitely see him as they drove by.


    “Drive slowly as I look for Leon.” There weren’t many people on both sides of the road on Belrose


    Avenue, and since Leon was such a ‘dazzling’ person, he’d be easy to spot.


    Belrose Avenue was not a long road—it only took ten minutes to drive around it. Even after they had


    arrived at the end of the road, Leon was nowhere to be seen.


    With that, she immediately called him, but it did not get through for a long time. Even after sending a


    message to Leon on Messenger, he did not reply.


    “Let me turn the car around, and we’ll look in the opposite direction again.” Upon seeing this, Matthias


    hurriedlyforted Heather. As he was driving, Matthias was also helping to look for Leon, but neither


    of them saw him.


    “Okay, then. Can you drive a little bit more slowly?” Heather asked Matthias to slow down again. She


    made a mental decision that if she couldn’t find Leon this time, she would leave this ce right away,


    regardless of whether Leon was alive.


    As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Leon called. Heather answered the call immediately and


    heard Leon speaking fluent Italian on the other side of the phone.


    Heather listened carefully to every word that Leon said—it turned out that he was in trouble. As for why


    he was even at Belrose Avenue, he said that a mysterious person told him toe here.


    As for the trouble that he had gotten into, Leon did not mention it over the phone. He said that he was


    afraid that the phone would be monitored, and his location now couldn’t be disclosed to Heather, but


    what was certain was that he had already left Belrose Avenue.


    As he mentioned before, Leon was suspecting that someone was watching him, so he couldn’t


    continue to wait for Heather and Matthias on Belrose Avenue. The development of the whole situation


    had be even more confusing.


    Heather asked about Leon’s situation. After confirming that he was safe, she simply said a few words


    to him and hung up the phone right away.


    Matthias understood Italian, so he understood the conversation between Heather and Leon, but he


    never expected Leon to be targeted at all.


    “So… where are we going now?” Matthias stepped on the gas pedal, since there was no need to


    continue looking for Leon right now.


    Heather lowered her hand that was holding the phone and looked at Matthias. “Who could it be?” she


    asked. It was too sudden that it caught Matthias off guard.


    “I’m not sure. Even the person involved doesn’t know, so how would I?” Matthias knew he couldn’t help


    Heather in this matter. He was no detective; how could he know what was going on?


    “Do you recall thest bombing incident?” Heather brought up the bombing incident again. It hasn’t


    been long since, and now Leon is in trouble again. Could it be that it was Leon’s family that was behind


    this? Or was it someone else? Heather thought.


    “I do. But we haven’t found the suspect yet.” Matthias remembered this incident clearly. At that time,


    someone even sent him pictures from the scene. There has to be someone behind all this.


    “I suspect that the person who’s getting Leon in trouble was the mastermind behind the explosion.”


    Heather took the initiative to discuss this with Matthias. Although she did have her doubts about him,


    there were too few people she could trust now.


    What was more, if Matthias was really an insider, it was even more important to talk to him about the


    explosion so that she could find out what he was really up to.


    Judging from how Matthias reacted, she figured he must be unaware of the matters behind the


    explosion. Deep down, Heather hoped that he took no part in it; otherwise, she really couldn’t bring


    herself to forgive him.


    “Do you already have a suspect in mind?” Matthias asked half-guessingly.


    “No. Leon insisted that it was done by his family, but I suspect it was the Moriarty Family.” Heather was


    still suspicious of the Moriartys, especially when she saw Caleb being in contact with Tony a few days


    ago—it made her all the more suspicious of the Moriarty Family.


    “You are too sensitive about the Moriartys.” Matthias didn’t think it was the Moriartys’ work. After all, he


    had secretly contacted the family. The Moriartys wouldn’t do unnecessary things like this.


    “Are you very familiar with the Moriarty family? Why would you think it wasn’t their work?” Heather had


    always tried to avoid mentioning the Moriartys in front of Matthias, but she really needed an answer


    now, so she had no choice but to talk about them with him.


    It was a pity that Matthias’ reaction was clear that the Locke Family did have some sort of connection


    with the Moriartys. In fact, Heather was even a little bit disappointed deep down; she knew that it would


    turn out like this, but she still had to try.


    “I’m not. But Leon should have nothing to do with the Moriartys; I don’t think they’d make a move on


    someone they don’t know.” Matthias quickly defended himself. At this point, he had already clearly


    seen that Heather was just testing him with her questions.


    “Even I am not sure about the kind of connection that exists between them, so how could you make


    such a judgment?” Heather pried even harder. The more Matthias said, the more mistakes he made.


    After all, truths could not be hidden.


    “Perhaps the person involved knows best. Did you and Leon analyze this matter in a simpler way?”


    Matthias led the topic to Leon smoothly; Leon was not here, so Matthias changing the topic to him was


    indeed brilliant.
