Chapter 655
The next day, Silas knocked on the CEO’s office door. He went in with Conrad’s permission.
“Sir, there’s something that I need to report to you.” With that, he quickly glanced at his madam who was focusing
on her designs.
Conrad understood what he meant by that. “Inform the directors of each department to go to the meeting room
and get ready for the meeting.”
“Of course!”
Only after Silas left did Fia look at Conrad with a smile. “I can’t listen to what Silas wanted to say to you?”
Conrad smiled as he looked at the document on his computer screen. “You’re worried for nothing. I don’t have the
time to listen to him right now. I’ll let him say it during the meeting.”
“Then can I join the meeting?” Fia looked at him without blinking as she spun the pen in her hand.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Of course,” Conrad said without hesitation.
Seeing how relaxed he was, Fia felt that she had indeed thought too much into it. She clicked her tongue and said,
“It’s fine. Meetings are so boring. I should focus on my designs.”
“The meeting can be quite dry. I’ll take you to the farm in the evening after work.”
“Sure! I’m feeling like roast lamb tonight!”
“Okay,” Conrad said as he took his phone and then sent Ford a text message-to prepare the roast lamb for him.
Meanwhile, a group of people were sitting in the meeting room on full alert.
Conrad looked inside from outside of the glass window. He and Silas moved to the side.
“What did you want to tell me?”
“The caretaker that used to work for the Mannings contacted me. She said that a woman went to the Manning’s old
mansion.”
“Who is it?”
“Britney,” Silas said as he took out a phone and opened the picture the caretaker sent over. This is what she sent
me.”
Conrad looked at Silas’s phone. The picture was a wefie of her and “Britney Thomas.”
Britney had a quiet smile on her face and was holding up a peace sign.
He remembered that Esme hated such childish hand signs.
“Why did she go to the mansion?”
“The caretaker said that she was thinking about Esme. They were acquainted overseas, so she came over to visit
the Manning household. She also wanted to visit her parents, but she didn’t expect that they were gone.
Conrad was expressionless. “How about the investigation on her when she was overseas?”
“There’s nothing suspicious. She was with Peter after she went overseas. Meanwhile, as Peter was Ms. Manning’s
teacher, she did have interactions with her.”
“There’s nothing suspicious at all?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSilas frowned. “We asked everyone about working with Britney. They mentioned that she didn’t return to the lab for
work for about a month before she returned to the country. Peter, who was known for his friendly demeanor, was
very intense during this time. He would yell at anyone who made the smallest of mistakes.”
“What is Peter’s identity at the overseas research lab?”
“Shareholder. He’s very important for the lab.”
“If that’s the case, why did he come back?” Conrad asked coldly.
“He said he wanted to return to and do research for his home country. He no longer wanted to be overseas.”
“Is that right?” Conrad straightened his tie. “Continue the investigation on those two suspicious people. If needed,
put them to work. Let’s see if we can make them. expose anything!”
“Understood.”
“Let’s go back to the meeting!”
The meeting was focused on the resignation of the Director of Foreign Affairs. Several members of high-level
management recommended a number of talents, hoping to fill up the director’s spot.
However, after Conrad finished listening to their suggestion, he smiled. “Do each of you want to do it yourselves?”
