“That’s right. I found out that Tina is also looking for Rina,” Zane told Sonia.
Raising her brow, she questioned, “What’s wrong with that? Isn’t that normal? Rina’s her sister after all, so her looking for Rina isn’t unusual at all.”
“No, no, no.” He waved his finger. “She’s not looking for Rina because she cares for her sister;
she wants to make sure that Rina leaves and never returns to Seafield or appears before the Grays ever again.”
Filled with curiosity, she widened her eyes. “Why?”
Zane curled his lips. “She’s probably jealous. Why else? She’ll be the heir of the Grays and Triforce Enterprise if she becomes the only child.
However, if Rina comes back, she won’t have that kind of power anymore.”
“I see... So, Rina is a threat to her.” She lifted her chin at the sudden realization.
In response, he snapped his fingers. “Bingo! That’s it. Besides, Titus Gray just disbanded an elite team. Guess what’s the team in charge of?”
“What?” She tilted her head.
Zane explained, “The elite team was specially prepared for Tina. Mr. Gray intends to hold another engagement banquet for her and Toby next year. Then, she'll finally be able to join the Triforce Enterprise with the elite team being her subordinates. Yet, it's been disbanded. Can you guess why?”
As soon as she heard this, her eyes flickered. “Mr.
Gray doesn’t want Tina to take over Triforce
anymore.
“Yes, that’s the only plausible explanation to why he disbanded the elite team. I’m guessing that Tina is anxious to find Rina and get rid of her after finding out that Mr. Gray actually wants to groom Rina to be the heir instead,” Zane said as he stroked his chin.
With a sarcastic smile, she noted, “I believe that Tina would do the same even if it had nothing to do with inheriting the Grays and Triforce Enterprise. Think about it. Rina was separated from her parents at a young age, so they would definitely give her extra care to make it up to her if she’s found to the point that they might overlook Tina. How do you think Tina would feel?”
“That’s true.” He nodded in agreement. Then, there was a gleam in his eyes. “Sonia, I just thought of a good idea.”
This sparked her interest. “What good idea?”
“It’s hard to explain over the phone, so let’s meet and talk.” He coughed.
Looking at her wristwatch, she realized that it was almost six in the evening. She wanted to turn him down as the sky was almost dark.
On the other end of the phone, it seemed that Zane had guessed what she would say, so he spoke ahead of her. “I won't be free tomorrow as I'll be going abroad, so I can only discuss it with you today. Besides, what I’d like to discuss with you is something best not to be delayed. Otherwise, it would be meaningless.”
Upon hearing this, she bit her lip before finally agreeing to meet. “Alright. Where should we meet?”
As soon as she agreed, he squeezed his fists excitedly while trying to remain calm as he spoke, “How about First World Amusement Park?” Going on a date there seems to be a good idea since girls like going to places like that, he thought.
“The amusement park?” Her mouth twitched. “Can’t we just look for a simple cafe instead? Why do we have to meet in a place like that?”
Guilty, he looked away. “My cousins went on a business trip, so they asked me to take care of their son. He’s been pestering me to take him to the amusement park, so... Help me out, please?”
Listening to him pleading pitifully, she rubbed between her brows and said, “Fine. Let’s meet there then.”
At once, a victorious smile appeared on his face. “Okay, I’ll pick you up.”
“It’s alright. It’ll be quicker if I drive there myself. Let’s meet at the entrance of the amusement park.” She smiled. After agreeing to what he said, she ended the call.
Right after, Zane put down the phone and ran down the stairs to the living room to carry his nephew who was playing puzzle on the couch, then kissed him. “Come on, Douglas. Uncle Zane’s bringing you to the amusement park!”
With a disdained look, Douglas complained, “I don’t wanna go! What’s so fun about amusement parks? I’d rather stay home and play
