“I’m not sure.” James shook his head. “I have no idea if they didn’t care enough for it, or they stopped investigating, since they can’t find anything.”
Confused and pale, Raine asked. “But how will they explain anything to Grandpa if they stopped investigating?”
“Steve is keeping an eye on Everett. Perhaps he’ll present a set of results similar to Everett’s. As for Preston and Ellar, they’re all good for nothing,” James explained.
However, he was still puzzled as he wondered what these people had in mind if they had chosen not to investigate the matter.
This caused Raine to lash out. “How could they not do as they’re told?”
Feeling that it was a great opportunity to cause some havoc, James asked, “Should we tell Grandpa?”
“No, not yet,” Raine shook her head. “Damien is currently the biggest suspect. Maybe they can come across some discoveries by monitoring Everett.”
Raine knew that Preston would be of no use, as well as Ellar. She thought that it would be best for them to do nothing and wait to see what would unfold. If she spilled the beans now, she might just end up stirring a beast into action.
“Alright then,” James agreed reluctantly after Raine had decided on their next course of action.
“We should wait for news from the Riddle manor,” Raine ended the topic, feeling miffed by the situation.
Then, James paused and whispered, “Snow might be up to something.”
“What have you heard?” Raine asked, her expression darkening.
“Snow has been making progress with Harvey. Both of them are often featured in the headlines of the news. Rumors
have it that something great will happen,” James said with a meaningful glint in his eyes.
“Tsk. She’s still so naive after all these years,” Raine scorned.
In Raine’s eyes, Snow was daydreaming. ‘If Harvey really liked Snow, how is it that he had not acted in these past five years? Besides, I have not noticed any passionate enthusiasm from Harvey toward Snow. If anything, Snow seems to be the one who’s clinging onto Harvey.’
“But with Harvey by her side, Snow had indeed attained a higher position in the company. One can even argue that she overshadows you,” James said, feeling a little irritated.
“She has Harvey to back her up now, and a lot of people are still hoping to strike a deal with the Ellison Group,” he finished.
At this juncture, DillCorp was still a second-rate company due to its sorry state of affairs. Everyone in DillCorp had hoped that there would be projects from Ellison Group. That way, it could potentially move up by a tier or two.
Raine gritted her teeth in resentment, her face blanching. She was furious as she thought about the notion of losing everything she had worked so hard to gain to Snow.
She gritted her teeth and said, “No, I won’t let this go her way.”
All of them were influential figures during their days at Royal Creek Institute. Nicole was now with Jared, and Snow had found Harvey. In comparison, Raine was reduced to marrying an ill-esteemed outcast of a third rate family, something which she did not feel good about.
Raine was still tolerant of the idea of Snow getting together with Harvey. After all, Snow was still her sister, and would help Raine when needed. However, now that Snow had also gotten into the company, Raine would be left with nothing if the former managed to take over.
The more Raine thought about it, the sourer her grimace became. She resented the current situation, and with that in mind, she decided that she would never allow Snow to take the company over.
“What’s in your mind?” James asked in a low voice after noticing Raine’s silence.
