Chapter 2773


    “I had snubbed you thest time we met, and yet you helped me without holding a grudge. Are you just


    that magnanimous?” Regina’s words carried a tang of bitterness. She couldn’t contain her feeling of


    disappointment, nor could she understand why she felt this way.


    “Ms. Tanner, I don’t just help anyone whoes knocking,” Nn said. “We clicked, and from our


    previous encounters, I could tell you’re not the type to give someone the cold shoulder without good


    reason. Plus, if I had turned a blind eye after witnessing what happened, I’d be no better than those


    who ignore a friend in need. And, well, the prospect of partnering with the Tanner family hase up,


    so think of it as doing your old man a


    favor.”


    Regina looked up, surprised, her mouth opening and closing without a word. She hadn’t expected that


    reason.


    Nn was far from sincere. Ever since that g he attended, he knew he couldn’t consider partnering


    with such apany, let alone spout such nonsense about ‘schedule prospects’.


    “Mr. Harris, I really am thankful,” Regina said, taking a deep breath and stering a smile back on her


    face. “But how should I repay you? I can’t just ept your kindness without offering something in


    return.”


    “No need for that; it was just a small favor,” Nn said, waving his hand dismissively, yet he frowned


    upon hearing Regina’s insistence.


    Her smile shone brighter. “But how can that be? We aren’t exactly bosom buddies, are


    we?”


    “If you’re set on returning the favor, then promise me one thing,” Nn offered after sipping his beer.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Regina perked up. “What’s that?”


    “Promise me you’ll stay out of the developer’s business. It’s not as straightforward as yo think.”


    Regina sank back into her original spot on the couch, her posture now exuding a newfound confidence.


    “Mr. Harris, what are you implying? I thought I made myself clearst time. If it has nothing to do with


    Harris Group, then you have no reason to keep meddling. The more you try to stop me, the more I


    suspect there’s a reason for it.”


    The topic was a trigger for both, sparking a re-up every time it came up.


    “I’ve said it before-you don’t trust me. So no matter what I say, you’ll suspect me. But this is dangerous.


    Do you understand the word ‘dangerous’? It’spletely different from

    office politics. Your life could be at risk! I’m sure Mr. Tanner wouldn’t want his preciousughter caught


    up in something so perilous.”


    You!”


    Regina was irritated, hating when personal issues got mixed with work. But Nn’s nessage was clear:


    if she didn’t back down, he would go to her father.


    Is it really that dangerous? Seems like I’m on the right track then. Ablett’s


    family sure


    seems pitiful, being forced out like that. I wonder how many tenants were bullied into eaving.”


    Regina’s voice dripped with sarcasm. The developer had once beenuded for smoothly handling the


    tenants, evennding a few interviews. But in the end, they had used such underhanded tactics.


    ‘Don’t worry, if they’re at fault, I won’t let them off the hook. This is on Harris Group, too. We failed to do


    our due diligence before the handoff. That’s our mistake. I, on behalf of Harris Group, will see that the


    residents get the justice they deserve.”


    With Nn putting it that way, Regina was at a loss for words. She wasn’t ready to give up on her


    investigation, but it seemed she might not have much choice.
