Taken aback by her question, Lucas was momentarily at a loss for words.
“You're so busy. I'm worried it might tire you out if I add more to your plate.”
“You're acting as if you're not busy, Mr. Nolan.” Ashlyn smirked. “How's the investigation into my brother-in-law's case going?”
“I've found some leads. Come take a look.” Recently, Lucas had been instructing his subordinates to investigate the case of James.
Although the president had already dispatched people to reinvestigate, they still didn't feel at ease. They believed that taking matters into their own hands would be a more cautious approach.
Ashlyn received the documents handed to her by Lucas and skimmed through them briefly. “I don't quite grasp the details of the case. You should delve deeper and identify what might work in his favor.”
“Given the current situation, there isn't much evidence to overturn his case and clear his name. We still require substantial and direct proof,” Lucas said in a deep voice.
“I've already asked Spencer to reach out to Mysterious yet Majestic. Let's hope they could help find something.”
Ashlyn's expression turned strange when she heard that. After some thought, she said, “You don't need to contact Mysterious yet Majestic, I—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Lucas' phone rang. He casually answered the call. “Spencer, go ahead. Have you gotten in touch with them? What did they say?”
“They've accepted the case? Good.” Lucas hung up the phone and turned to Ashlyn again. “Honey, what were you about to say?”
Ashlyn fell silent.
The woman with a cold demeanor slowly lowered her head, gazing down at her phone.
Mysterious yet Majestic's WhatsApp group was now buzzing with excitement and flooded with messages.
Quiet Forest: I've taken on a new case, investigating James' situation and gathering evidence. You know, I've always thought James was a good person.
Flying Fish: Who knows if it's all just for show? A few years ago, there was a high-ranking official who cycled to work every day. Even he was exposed to be a scum.
Boss: Come on, I still believe that James is innocent.
Jerk: Since Quiet Forest has accepted the case, let's do our best to investigate.
Lone Breeze: How much did the other party offer?
Quiet Forest: Three million in cash.
