Chapter 173 Chapter 173 Take the Bait if You Will "You saw him?" I was perplexed. Jill and I had only gone to the hospital once. What were the odds? "You know, that day, when we brought Ms. Newman to the nephrology department, in front of us in the queue was the driver. At that time, he even knelt before the doctor, saying he had kids and elders to take care of and that he only had a truck. If he died, his family would starve.

"I thought it was coincidental that tand observed him. Then, I noticed a red mark on the left side of his face, just like the man in the news!" I skimmed through the news article on my phone and saw a red mark on the truck driver's face. When I recalled Danika's startled reaction when she first sawand Jill's investigation report, I took a deep breath. "Jill, please just head home. And retract your private investigators too. Just giveall the information you have so far." "No! I must follow through until the end! You still need my help!' "You have to go back! Please just doa favor this time." I knew Jill valued loyalty, but acting on impulse at a tlike this was the wrong move. I wouldn't forgive myself if anything happened to her again. Hearing my plea, Jill asked, "What favor?" I contemplated briefly and said, "Emma has been aidingin my investigation about my dad, but she's still an ordinary person regardless.

The police had already investigated it, and it'd be extremely difficult to overturn the case. Besides, you're not a family member, so you don't have a standing in this." In all honesty, I understood all he said beforehand but still wanted to try. Of course, with my efforts alone, it'd be impossible to resolve this matter.

He sighed. "It seemed his and Jedidah's relationship had improved. Perhaps the project can proceed without needing any design modifications." The next day, Leonard's words ctrue. Keenan invited us to go fishing, saying he had a VIP to introduce to us.

When we arrived at the reservoir, I saw Jedidah in casual clothing with a sunblock hat, looking like a retired business mogul.

"Is this your niece and her fiancé? What a good-looking couple!" He smiled at Leonard andwhile Keenan nodded eagerly by the side.

"Not only that, Jed, but they're also the collaborators for our project this time. However, Leonard said he needs stto consider. So, I'm a little worried."

Jedidah scrutinized Leonard from head to toe, then took a stool to sit by the water. "It's great that Mr. Harmon is being cautious. However, Keenan and I make most of the decisions here in Tarnival "You can rest assured in our collaboration because the higher-ups will definitely support your involvement as a private enterprise."
