Chapter 228 A Familiar Place

When I returned to my office, I sought Grayson and gave him a task. Coincidentally, he

also handed me a report of his investigation. I was surprised to receive it so quickly. I

couldn’t help but admire his efficiency

and praise him.

However, Grayson was serious when he said, “Don’t get too excited, Ms. Chloe. This is just

surface–level Information, and there seem to be no issues at all. Still, my gut feeling tells

me something’s off.”

The investigation report was about Stella, detailing her birth, parents‘ passing, adoption,

and school

history.

“It’s right here.” Grayson pointed something out. “It says she attended primary school

here, one of the most famous schools in Nocturnia. However, I couldn’t find any pictures of

her from that period..

“Also, I only found one picture of her during high school, yet she lists Phy as one of her

hobbies.

Why would a girl with such a hobby have no pictures or videos of herself?” Grayson looked

at me with a questioning expression as he spoke.

“Ms. Chloe, don’t you think something’s amiss? That detail makes me uneasy. Please give

me more time

to investigate further.

Indeed, I also felt something was wrong. I marveled at Grayson’s attentiveness and said,

“Perhaps Stella didn’t like photography back then or…”

“No, I understand. You’re saying the Pierce family’s records are usually secured and

difficult to find. Surprisingly, Stella’s information is readily available,” he said with

sparkling eyes.

“Look, I have her graduation photos from every previous year at this school. I also have

year–end photos. for each academic year,” Grayson continued, handing me two yellowed

photos.

I looked at them and felt a tug in my mind. The scenery in those photos seemed oddly

familiar. I glanced at Grayson and said, “Is… this school in Nocturnia?”

“Yes!” he nodded.

I chuckled and felt a bit perplexed. “Why does this place feel so familiar?”

“Perhaps you’ve seen it in some documents before.” He smiled.

I had never traveled abroad, so it was a bit ridiculous for me to think that way.

After looking at the photos, I nodded and said, “Well, continue your investigation. It might

be the

breakthrough we need. Also, check on Annalise Snyder!”

Sure. Grayson nodded. ‘I’ll get back to work,”

I leaned back in my chair as he left. I felt a throbbing headache coming on as I had been

too busy lately. I rubbed my temples and sighed before picking up the pictures again. I

closed my eyes and imagined a scenery, but I wasn’t sure what it was.

My head hurt even more immediately after. I quickly opened my eyes and refused to think

more about it. Soon after, I saw the beautifully wrapped box on my desk. It was the New

Year’s gift Stella gave me.

I opened the box and saw an air freshener inside, I sniffed it, and it had a pleasant scent.

Although I rarely used such things, I thought giving it away would be disrespectful, so I

placed it back on the desk.

After some thought, I brought it down when it was time to get off work. I remembered

Stella telling me it would smell nice in my car.

ATL Empire was efficient, especially after Atlas’s outburst I received the correct data

before leaving work and sent it to the technical department. However, I conducted a

thorough review before delivering it to Urban Builders.

When the courier left, I called Fred and reminded him to be vigilant about his

surroundings. That was because Atlas had asked if I could guarantee that everyone at

Urban Builders was trustworthy.

I didn’t know if his words were deliberate or if he had discovered something. Regardless, it

was best to

be cautious. 1

During my second visit to Urban Builders, Fred confided in me all night. He discussed the

first time I waited for him in the rain. It was a turbulent time for the company because his

younger brother, Hugo, had attempted a power struggle.

Although he failed, he had a group of loyal followers that needed rooting out.

Fred took my advice seriously, saying, “You’re right. I’ve considered identifying those

people and firing

them.”

I felt relieved after dealing with certain things. Suddenly, I received a call from Atlas. I was

pleasantly surprised and answered the call,
