Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 1306

Before Sophia returned, she had planned everything out.

Sandra shot her a resigned look. "Focus on your work. We'll talk about Colin later."

Currently, Sophia's career was flourishing. Her top priority should be her self-improvement. Love affairs could wait.

At the Li House.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Colin came back from work. As usual, he visited the sleeping Ambrose before quietly returning to his own room.

Colin closed the door behind him and took out a cigarette. Walking through the room, he stopped at the balcony, deep in thought.

Long after the cigarette burnt out, Colin took out his phone and called Wade. "Any news about the Lien's?"

"Yes, we've discovered some of their grey incomes. The company's accounts had been manipulated, but the tampered portion was done in a hurry. We've found a loophole." Wade answered.

"What about the Pei's?"

"There are suspicions of money laundering, but we're still looking for evidence."

Knowing Colin's intentions, Wade could only hold back a sigh.

Just as Colin was about to hang up, Wade quickly added, "Mr. Li, there's also some development in Z Country."

"What is it?"

"We've found a woman who works in the red light district. She said she spotted Miss Lo earlier and confirmed that Miss Lo was looking for a woman. As she recalled, the time she saw Miss Lo was about 30 minutes before the incident with the drunkard. According to the witness, Miss Lo was seeking a woman named Cora, who had also disappeared. Our men are looking into her whereabouts."

"I see. Keep investigating." Colin ended the conversation.

A knock sounded on the door. Colin put away the cigarette butt, and went to open it. As expected, it was Wendy.

"Mother."

"Colin, Marcella called me today. She asked when the wedding ceremony would take place."

Colin frowned. "I see."

Wendy paused. "What will you do about it?"

"I'll talk to Dorothy."

Wendy shot him a questioning look. "About what?"

Colin glanced at her. "What do you want me to say?"

Wendy hesitated for a while. "I want you to call off your engagement." Wendy was a little anxious. Since Ambrose was proved to be Sophia and Colin's child, she didn't know what Colin was still angry about.

But Colin was exceedingly calm. "Do you really believe in Sophia, mother?"

"You don't? If you care so little for her as you claim, why are you having people investigate her?" The way she saw it, her son was being childish.

Colin shot her an intense look. "Who told you that? Was it Wade? I'll fire him!"

That traitor!

"No, he didn't say anything. I overheard Wade's conversation with your father the other day, and I assumed the rest. It seems we're right."

Colin was silent. As the saying goes, aged ginger was spicier, and elders were a fountain of wisdom. His parents had outwitted him.

"Mother, I have to sleep now." Colin moved to shut the door, but Wendy kept it open.

She wasn't done talking. "Colin, why didn't you investigate earlier?"

"What, you think I should've investigated when the scandal occurred? That I should've had the video looked into? It's pointless, the video was obviously a fake."

Wendy was rendered speechless. She glared at him for a long time and spat, "Then what was the whole drama about? What's wrong with you?"

She accidentally heard Colin and Herring's conversation about the video. As Colin had confirmed now, she was finally certain.
