A Billionaire In Disguise novel Chapter 146

At seven-fifteen in the morning, Catherine came downstairs, dressed for work, and when she walked into the dining room, she saw Mr. Miller.

"Good morning, father," Catherine said as her eyes lit up.

"Oh, my dear. Please come and sit down. I know how much you and Rome love my cooking, and after what you two went through during the party, I thought it would be nice to stop by today and cheer you two up with food." Mr. Miller happily said, drawing a chair for Catherine.

After she had taken a seat, she looked up at him, gave a warm smile, and said, "This is such a nice surprise, father. Thank you. I'm sure Rome will love it as much as I do."

At that moment, Rome walked into the room, and when Catherine saw him, her face glowed with excitement as she said, "Hon, father made your favorite dishes."

For a moment, a faint smile surfaced on Rome's lips. Then his expression grew serious as he stared apologetically at Mr. Miller and said, "I'm so sorry, but I got to leave like now."

Knowing that Rome wouldn't turn down his food if what he had to do wasn't essential, Mr. Miller cheerfully said, "There's nothing to be sorry about, and I understand, son. I guessed it's just my daughter-in-law and me then."

Feeling relieved that his father's feelings didn't get hurt, Rome walked to Catherine, raised her chin, and leaned towards her, kissing her lightly on the lips.

Afterward, he stared into her curious eyes and said, "Scar got a breakthrough with his investigation about Earl, and I'm going to meet him."

"Really, that's amazing!" Catherine said, beaming at him.

Then she watched Rome smile at her before turning around to leave. But in that instant, she grabbed his fingers and mumbled, "Be careful, would you?"

"I promise that I will," Rome said with his back turned to her.

Then he hesitated when he felt Catherine slowly let go of his fingers.

A couple of seconds went by with Rome standing still. Then he walked out of the room and headed out of the house.

The moment K saw him coming towards the car, he hurried to the back door and opened it.

When Rome reached K, both men exchanged greetings before Rome got into the car, and he shut the door closed behind him.

"Where to, boss?" Mr. Orlando asked, focusing on the v-mirror.

"The casino," Rome mumbled.

A while later, after a few hours' drive, Mr. Orlando came to a stop at 'Bluemoon casino,' and Rome stepped out of the car.

Then he stared at Scar, standing outside of the building with an eager look on his face.

The moment he and K reached Scar, he hastily greeted Rome with a slight bow before following behind him as he headed into the building.

When they arrived in the private room upstairs, Rome looked at Scar and said, "Show me what you got."

"Okay, this took a lot of digging, but this is it!" Scar said with a hint of pride in his eyes as he took the black cloth off a stand board.

Then he watched a look of confusion glow in Rome's expression before saying, "These are the names of people who have received a huge sum of money from an unknown bank account that I linked to James' personal assistant."

"They are all women," Rome mumbled, frowning since he already had an idea of where the conversation was going.

"Right! But I did some more digging, and these women all have one thing in common. They all have had an interaction with James Earl and not his assistant."

"Do you know what their interaction was about?"

Smiling nervously, Scar scratched the back of his head and then mumbled, "Well, I did try to speak to one of the ladies. But she won't talk to me. I think she fears him."

"Well, if she's afraid to speak, then that means that whatever their interaction was, it could ruin Earl," Rome said, giving himself a second to think.

Then he stared intensely at the names on the board before mumbling, "You should talk to her again?"
