    Chapter 73 A Night Out


    That’s notil thought they have an inkling that we are investigating the matter, which was why they had


    the maid be their scapegoal, Ss replied


    A frownformed on Gianna’s face while she asked, “Do you mean she wasn’t the mastermind?


    “Amaid wouldn’t be so bold, Ss scoffed.


    Afrown formed on Gianno’s face as the reply he gave reminded her of what Old Master Nn said


    about the absence of familial rtionships. A sense of uncertainty lingered in her gaze as she looked


    toward him, all the while unsure how she should face him, and if she should pity him or console him.


    ‘D-Do you have a suspect? Would it be among your farnily members, just for that inheritance?”

    “I don’t know” To Ss, the matter was a hard topic to breach as his family had done far more than that,


    which was why he opted for an ambiguous answer after taking a deep breath. Upon realizing that they


    were merely acquaintances, Gianna had a sudden feeling that she shouldn’t have asked about the


    matter, so she didn’t pry any further. Instead, she opted to remind him, “You should probably arrange


    for some bodyguards


    to protect your grandfather secretly.”


    “I will be doing just that. Thank you for your time today, and I will have someone transfer the


    consultation fee to you.” Ss nodded as he spoke. “You don’t have to be so polite. I should be the one


    to thank you instead. Your timely arrival saved me from a disastrous oue,” she replied,


    Memory of the incident that happened prior to his arrival triggered a sense of shame within Ss, as


    Robin wouldn’t have been able to find fault with Gianna if he hadn’t introduced her to that rowdy bunch.


    He felt responsible for what happend, thus he told her, “I won’t let what they did go unpunished, so you


    don’t have to worry.” Unbeknownst to him, what he said sounded like a promise more than anything


    else. Soon came the following night. Gianna got a call from Kate, during which thetter requested for


    herpany to attend a gathering together. Thus, she left South at Landon’s ce, which was a


    delight to South. As a games developer, every game that Landon developed would first go through


    South, so visits to Landon’s house was South’s favorite activity. Just as they arrived at Landon’s ce,


    South ushered Gianna to leave and even offered cordially. “You won’t have toe fetch me tonight as


    it will be quitete when you’re done, I will be sleeping at Landon’s house.” *Are you sure you will be


    sleeping instead of ying games all night?” Gianna pouted. Landon made a promise by telling her, “I


    promise to watch over him.” “I know you two are birds of a feather when ites to games. I will drop


    by next morning, and you’ll have to face my wrath if I find out you have been ying games all night.”


    Gianna harrumphed, “I know, I know, so you can leave now. That idiot must be waiting for you.” Landon


    pushed her out as he spoke. The urgency in their actions left Gianna resigning herself to hailing a cab


    to go to the hotel, only to find that Kate was already waiting by the entrance of the hotel.

    “You’ve kept me waiting!” Kate approached her in a hurry.


    “It took some time for me to send South to Landon’s ce.” After apologizing to Kate, Gianna took her


    hand while Kate followed her lead as they stepped inside with the hem of her dress in hand.


    “No matter what I do, I must get Luca to coborate with me!” That was what Kate said; she worked in


    a startup fashion magazine publishing agency which was still in the process of garnering its fame, and


    its sales weren’t doing too good


    either, so thepany was in a rather sorry state.


    While thepany managed to secure a contract with apany that specialized in watch ads, they


    insisted that Luca Matthews was to be the model for their products, which was a request that Kate


    couldn’t afford to turn down, as she had to put into consideration the livelihood of her subordinates.


    “Do you mean Luca Matthews, the main lead in ‘Can’t Help but Fall for You?” Gianna nced at Kate


    curiously. “Yeah, so you do know him!” Kate seemed delighted to hear that.


    “I also know he is employed by Metrostar Entertainment!” An amused expression could be seen on


    Gianna’s face as she spoke


    “Yeah!” said Kate.


    “However, the drama is a hit, and hispany and sponsors seemed to hold him in high regard, so


    you won’t necessarily seed,” Giannamented honestly.
