Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1448

His assistant shook his head as he replied, “Please allow me to finish my explanation, Mr. Jackson. It appears that Felicia may have drugged Hannah’s mother and ultimately caused her depression. Of course, this is just a suspicion Hannah has at the moment as she has yet to obtain any sort of evidence, and neither have we. I’m not too sure about Fabian, though.

The five prominent families have their own trusted aides when it comes to such information, and they will never betray the families they work for. Regardless, given how our resources are on par with his, I doubt Fabian has found anything either.

I’ve put some men in charge of investigating the death of Hannah’s mother as well as keeping an eye on Fabian. That way, we’ll be the first to know his every move.” Fabian is bound to make a move the moment he discovers something, so we can just monitor him to stay ahead!

“You idiot! All you have to do was have them investigate her mother’s death! Putting aside the possibility of us even finding anything useful out of monitoring Fabian, we both promised to compete for Hannah fairly and squarely! Are you trying to get me labeled as a coward who goes back on my word?”

Xavier was furious. This is unbelievable! My own assistant has sent someone to tail Fabian when we’ve promised to compete fairly! As the heir to one of the five prominent families, there’s no way I could tolerate something this dishonorable! I will either win like a champ or accept my defeat like a man!

“It isn’t that bad, Mr. Jackson. You see…” His assistant was about to try and justify his actions but kept his mouth shut when he saw the terrifying look in Xavier’s eyes. Oh dear, working with him never fails to surprise me… While it’s great that he trusts me unconditionally and admires my talents, we’ve gotten so close with each other that there are no boundaries when he reprimands me.
