Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 663

Emilia thought about it for a moment, then replied, "I'm not sure. Tyler handled that matter privately; it's a top-tier classified issue within The Erickson Group."

After a brief pause, she added, "Israel Jensen probably knows."

Tyler entrusted many of his tasks to Israel.

However, Emilia couldn't be certain if Israel would disclose anything without Tyler's explicit permission.

"Got it," Cynthia said before ending the call.

Emilia stared at her phone, then looked up at the sky outside her window.

The police asking about Eugene... Did that mean Vivienne's situation was connected to him?

A gentle breeze brushed past, and Emilia tightened her grip on her phone.

...

Elsewhere, at a certain secluded mansion.

Israel received Cynthia's call.

He glanced at the basement door below, walked upstairs, and answered.

"Detective Cynthia?" Israel greeted. "What can I do for you?"

"Hello, Mr. Jensen. I'd like to ask about the reasons behind the resignation of your company's former Purchasing Manager, Eugene," Cynthia's voice came through the line. "I just tried calling your boss, but couldn't get through, so I'm reaching out to you."

The second basement level had been specially modified, resulting in poor cellular reception.

Hearing Cynthia ask about Eugene, Israel's heart skipped a beat. He instinctively glanced back toward the second-level basement.

"Detective, this matter involves company secrets. I'll need to consult Mr. Erickson first," Israel said carefully. "May I ask why you're inquiring about Eugene's resignation?"

Whatever Cynthia said next left Israel's jaw practically on the floor.

"Every day, I arrived at the company so early, pouring my heart into the work. One day, you pulled an all-nighter at the office. I accidentally knocked over a vase and the noise woke you up. That's how we met."

"Remember?" Vivienne sobbed. "You told me, 'Shh, keep it down, Emily isn't awake yet.'"

"Just that one sentence showing how much you cherished and cared for Emilia, along with your leniency when I made a mistake, and even how you praised my aesthetic taste to the secretaries... It made me fall hopelessly in love with you."

Vivienne truly set her sights on Tyler the moment she witnessed how fiercely protective he was of Emilia.

Only, at the time, her logic was that the Dennis family had already fallen. Since Emilia was no longer a wealthy heiress, Vivienne figured she had just as much of a right to claim him.

A man so gentle, considerate, and unimaginably wealthy belonged with her!

Vivienne studied Tyler's expression, putting on a flawless performance.

"Even though you were already with her back then."

"I didn't care. Even if I could only stay by your side temporarily, I was more than willing!"
