Dustin wanted to ask Brielle how she was feeling and what her plans were for the baby, but he sensed that she wasn't in the mood to talk about it.
Staring into the flickering flames in front of him, Dustin took a long moment before lifting his hand to rub his brow. Then, he gave instructions to the bodyguards around him. "Keep searching. Check every place he's ever been. And swap out the guys I sent to Beaconsfield."
The people he’d sent to Beaconsfield had all been vetted by Dummy, which meant they were likely compromised. As much as he hated to admit it, Dustin had truly trusted him and never suspected the man could betray him or have a double life.
Returning to his villa, Dustin found Raymond already there, quietly sipping tea. "Dad," he called out, noticing Raymond only slightly lifting his head in acknowledgment.
"You're barely over your illness and you're already stirring up trouble. Haven't you thought that you might end up in a bind?" Dustin took a seat, his expression somewhat grim.
"I had you look into Wall Street, Max's assets. What's the scoop?"
"Why are you digging into him?" The Lynch family's interests were overseas, and the Dorsey family's were domestic; the two clans had no business dealings. But since it was his son’s request, Raymond hadn’t refused.
"It's all sorted. Remember when Dorsey International made that deal with Alpha? Alpha, the world's largest retail enterprise, shifted its focus to the cutting-edge technology of automated stores after teaming up with Dorsey International."
"On the surface, it looked like a collaboration between Alpha and Dorsey International, but they were only after Dorsey International's tech. The bigger player in the partnership was DreamTech Designs. You’re familiar with them, right? During Max's time on Wall Street, they acquired a struggling toy factory and rapidly rose to prominence. Later, they dominated the globe with their electric vehicle innovations in just two years. Then they moved onto artificial intelligence, aligning perfectly with Dorsey International's tech. Post-collaboration with Alpha, the real heavy hitter was DreamTech Designs. The CEO of this company is quite the enigma, never seen in any public interviews, and the listed legal representative is heavily concealed—it's Max."
