Chapter 201 The Wagner Enterprises and Lord...

I recognized both the nof the company and its legal representative's signature, which had a bit of a tough- guy vibe to it.

After all, this conglomerate was Wagner Enterprises' largest partner, and the bond between Herschel and Mr. Lord was notably solid.

But why on earth did my dad have a contract with them from ten years ago? As far as I knew, my dad wasn't an employee of Wagner Enterprises back then. What was he doing with that contract? I glanced over the contract again. It was about a partnership in developing new energy sources, a project that now belonged to Wagner Enterprises, turning out to be highly profitable.

Strictly speaking, this contract should be considered Wagner Enterprises' property. However, what puzzledwas the absence of Herschel's signature.

Setting the contract aside, I opened my father's notebook.

It was filled with work schedules and schemical symbols I couldn't decipher. Flipping towards the end, I stumbled upon a note: "Hoping for a successful signing." Nothing followed after that.

My dad had the car accident shortly after.

I remembered what he toldthe night before the accident. He said, "Licia, after tomorrow, I will be able to build you a thpark." I was too excited to ask why at the time.

Now, it made sense. If he had signed the contract with the conglomerate back then, the project could've grown as big as Wagner Enterprises is today.

Not just a thpark, but a whole commercial empire could've been mine.

Unfortunately, his death turned all those possibilities into mere what-ifs.

Could his accident be related to that contract? Was it possibly not an accident at all? My mind was a whirlwind of chaotic thoughts, sending shivers down my spine. I slumped down in the storage room, immobilized for what felt like an eternity.

But I decided to investigate this matter myself, starting with Lord from the conglomerate.

Though I knew approaching him directly might not be feasible, given his good relations with Herschel, I had overheard that Lord had been battling bladder cancer a few years back and had since stepped back to focus on his recovery, leaving the company in his son's hands.

If I inquired about Lord's whereabouts from Herschel's driver, I could visit him under the guise of paying a visit.

Acting on my thoughts has always been my way, but I was aware that directly questioning the driver might raise suspicions.

The driver, who had been with Herschel for over a decade-longer than I had been part of the Wagner family - was known for his diligence and discretion, the latter being particularly crucial.

I needed to be crafty to get the information I sought.

So, I began researching all the medical facilities in Seabreeze City that offered both treatment and convalescence, quickly narrowing it down to the top three. Which one Lord was in, however, remained unknown.

Therefore, the driver's assistance was still necessary, but not necessarily in the form of him speaking out.

After sthought, I figured out a plan.

That was to borrow the driver's car and then check the vehicle's travel history, knowing Herschel visited Lord monthly.

But borrowing the car wasn't straightforward. Given that I had my own vehicle, Herschel would likely offer to buya new one instead, so I couldn't use that as a pretext. In the Wagner family, the only plausible borrower was Dustin

Wagner, recently returned hand without a vehicle of his own. Though he had access to any family car, he ve could easily request the driver under the guise of unfamiliarity with the local roads, then find a way to dismiss him.

The solution seemed to be Dustin, but I hesitated. I was well aware of his feelings for me, knowing he'd agree to help if I asked. Yet, it felt like exploiting his affections once more. Ashburn X
