Immediately, Vania then cut him off, saying, “There’s no need for that. My assistant will be coming to pick me up, so you don’t need to go through the trouble. Thanks for visiting me these few days.”
With a darkened expression, Hanson spoke after a long time. “Alright.”
It wasn’t until he left that Linda came in.
With a heavy expression, she stood in front of Vania hesitatingly before stating, “Boss, about your accident. There really is something fishy about it.”
Foreseeing this already, Vania raised her eyebrows while playing with the apple in her hand, “What did you manage to find out? Tell me,” she uttered coldly.
Nodding, Linda reported, “Even though the driver had died, we still managed to uncover that he actually had a terminal illness in his brain, and that he had not had much longer to live. Also, he had never had any records of drunk-driving. On the day of the incident, he went to buy alcohol before he drove. After his accident, his originally poor family suddenly moved into a huge house and became wealthy. This was very weird to me. Plus, the mastermind this time obviously planned ahead, as we failed to obtain any evidence.”
Snorting, Vania replied, “I don’t need any evidence to know who did it. Since she always failed so many times after framing me, it would be very unbecoming of her to not learn from any of this. A failed thief will slip up sooner or later, so keep an eye out.”
Smirking, Linda knew who her employer was referring to, and she then added, “I’ve already sent men to watch over her. Also, we bumped into President Luke’s men while looking into the incident.”
This stunned Vania, as she did not think that Hanson would actively participate in investigating her incident.
By now, she had already clearly felt Hanson’s different attitude toward her. However, she still did not know why he was doing this, so she just ignored him all together.
Then, she said to Linda, “It’s been hard on you lately. I also need you to arrange for me to get discharged. When I recover, I’ll fill your off-days in.”
Smiling, Linda replied, “Alright, I’ll go do that now.”
…
At the Luke Estate, Melanie, who was lying on the sofa in the living room, felt that the coldness of this mansion was more akin to an abandoned palace. Recently, she could feel herself being very uneasy, and cold sweat would mysteriously drip from her body.
