Only Leanne and the company's executive assistant were in the elevator.
As they ascended, Leanne glimpsed the man through the reflective metal doors. She broke the silence. "My dad used to be the head of the IT department at VectorVista."
The executive assistant seemed stunned by her sudden conversation starter, replying, "Your father was an honorable man."
It appeared he was aware of her identity and the past events.
As Maddox's right-hand man, he was well-versed in the chairman's family affairs. The story of the Richardson family adopting the orphaned daughter of a deceased employee had made the news. It was no secret.
Leanne showed no surprise in her expression, feigning a bit of astonishment. "You know about my dad?"
With his hands clasped in front of him, the man in his forties, respectful and gentle in demeanor, revealed, "Your father was a core member of our bank's management. After his tragic demise, the police investigated numerous times. We all know he died because he refused to betray VectorVista under threat."
Leanne remarked, "It's a shame the culprit is still at large."
It was understandable that a young girl was curious about her late parents' workplace and lamenting the unresolved crime.
Observing her graceful face, the assistant thought her eyes too innocent to perceive any harm.
"Some things are beyond our control. Perhaps it's best to move on," the assistant advised.
Leanne merely smiled, understanding her parents' choice to keep her in the dark was meant to encourage her to move on from the incident and live well.
But how could she pretend everything was fine and let her parents rest in an unmarked grave while their killer roamed free?
...
The collaboration between VectorVista and ElitePinnacle was a strategic move orchestrated by Maddox, aiming for a synergy that could combine strengths and minimize risks.
