At Sterling Corporation, Terrence Sterling wore a serious expression as he reviewed the reports, his brows furrowed tightly.


    “Did you investigate Ethan Channing’s holdingpanies thoroughly?” he asked.


    Rick quickly replied, “Yes, apart from a biotechnologypany, none of them have any ties with ourpany.”


    “Biotechnology?” Terrence Sterling inquired, “Do we have a project in that field?”


    Rick responded, “Mr. Sterling, you might have forgotten. Five years ago, you acquired a biotechnologypany and handed it over to Winston Emerson. Thispany has been burning through money researching human memory extraction and reading technologies. I’ve heard they’ve made some progress.”


    Terrence Sterling had indeed forgotten. With so many subsidiaries and industries under his belt, he didn’t personally oversee each one.


    “Ethan Channing also owns a biotechnologypany?”


    “Yes,” Rick confirmed. “I discovered that Ethan Channing injects substantial funds into thispany every year.”


    “What are they primarily researching?” Terrence Sterling asked.


    “That’s apany secret,” Rick said, looking troubled. “I couldn’t find out.”


    Terrence Sterling frowned. “What has Leyton been up totely?”


    Rick seized the opportunity to tter him, smiling, “Mr. Sterling, your foresight is remarkable. After pretending to be insane for so long, Leyton couldn’t hold back anymore. He doesn’t have the patience or temperament for it. He snuck out of Ravenwood in the middle of the night to meet an old me, who used to be the hottest woman at Heavenly Pavilion.”


    Terrence Sterling was curious to see how long Leyton could keep up the act. He hadn’t yet identified the person behind Leyton.


    Terrence Sterling sneered, “Heavenly Pavilion has been demolished for so long, yet Leyton remains quite devoted.”


    “Leyton’s old me has moved to a new ce, CC Club,” Rick recalled. “It’s owned by Ethan Channing.”


    Terrence Sterling’s eyes narrowed. All the information pointed to this CC Club.


    He waved Rick away.


    Joy Chaucer, Leyton, Ethan Channing, Derek Donnelly, CC Club…


    Terrence Sterling sat in his swivel chair, reflecting on recent events. He had privately investigated and found that shortly after Derek Donnelly’s incident, Donnelly’s ex-wife received a sum of money, bought a house for their daughter, and frequently shopped at high-end malls for luxury goods.


    The money came from an overseas ount transferred under Donnelly’s ex-wife’s name, which was just a virtual transit ount.


    But it was undoubtedly rted to Derek Donnelly’s incident.


    Fiona Woods and Justin’s deaths were certainly connected to Derek Donnelly, but killing out of unrequited love seemed far-fetched.


    Everything seemed unrted yet interconnected. Themon links were Joy Chaucer and Ethan Channing.


    He had previously suspected Bianca’s illness might be rted to her dietary habits.


    Terrence Sterling had privately investigated and asked Aubrey Lawson about Bianca’s daily diet but found no valuable clues.


    As Terrence Sterling was lost in thought, he suddenly felt something soft scratching his face.


    He snapped back to reality to find Meredith holding their daughter. He was both surprised and delighted as he habitually took his daughter into his arms. “Dear, what brings you here? Did Little Lucky miss Daddy?”


    Little Lucky liked grabbing things with her hands and sometimes hurt herself. Whenever her nails grew long, Terrence Sterling’s family would trim them.


    “I went to our restaurant and discovered something I wanted to tell you,” Meredith said. “What were you thinking about just now? We came in, and you didn’t even notice.”


    “Just some thoughts,” Terrence Sterling replied, kissing his daughter’s cheek with a broad smile full of affection. “Dear, what is it?”


    “You were so busy kissing and smiling at Little Lucky that you didn’t even look at me while talking. I’m jealous,” Meredith pretended to pout.


    Terrence Sterlingughed and kissed Meredith on the cheek. “I love both of you. I definitely love you longer than our daughter.”


    “Of course, otherwise where would our daughtere from?” Meredithughed. “By the way, I suspect my mom’s illness might be due to food ipatibility. She has been eating certain foods long-term that damaged her organs, leading to failure. This idea came from a customer at our restaurant today.”Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
