David was filled with remorse.

“I neglected you all those years and failed to give you a decent life.”

Growing impatient with his rambling, Katrina held back her irritation and spoke softly.

“Dad, it wasn’t that I didn’t reach out. The Mercer family has extremely strict rules, and they never allowed me to contact you.”

“I know, I know. When can you come home? I miss you so much.”

“I’m calling to ask you for a favor.”

Her voice turned soft and full of grievance.

“All the news talks about Chase’s affair. I’ve never had an easy life in their household.”

David’s heart ached deeply for her.

“My poor child. We don’t need such a wealthy family. Our home is simple, yet I will never let you suffer any wrongs.”

“I just can’t swallow this insult. Everything happened because he fell for the heiress of the Tann family.”

“The Tann girl? Nina? The one who always clashed with you back in high school?”

“That’s her exactly.” Katrina sobbed bitterly.

“She seduced him and made him abandon me. He even wanted to end our marriage for her. They want me to leave Wilder behind with no property at all. You are my dearest dad and my only family. You have to help me. I cannot lose my place in the Mercer family.”

David grew anxious at her words. “What do you want me to do?”

“Dad… what if Nina disappears forever?”

“No! That is illegal, I can never do such a thing.”

David was utterly shocked. He never thought his once gentle daughter would harbor such vicious thoughts..

“Wilder means everything to me. I won’t let another woman be his mother. If you refuse to help me, i will do it myself. I will get nd of Nina and take Chase down with me. Then Wilder will end up all alone. Do you really want that to happen?”

She kept pushing her father to commit the crime for her. She knew he had spent his whole life working as a humble driver with nothing to achieve. His meaningless life might as well be used to help her.

“… I need time to think.”

“You are the only one I trust. Rest assured, once Nina is gone, Chase and i will stay together Even if the police find out, I will use all the Mercer family’s influence to bail you out”

Her promise shook David’s mind. He had failed to give her a complete family while she was young, so he had always tried his best to make up for it. He had even begged for a spot for her to attend Linholt High. He was willing to do anything to satisfy his

daughter.

“Fine. I will handle it myself. Stay out of all of this.”

His tone was full of concern for her.

Katrina had no intention of getting her own hands dirty. She spoke in a grateful tone, “Thank you, Dad! I know you love me more than anyone else.”

She hung up the phone and wore a cold sneer on her face.

Letting her timid father deal with Nina would save her plenty of trouble. Even if the case was traced back to him, he would never dare to expose her.

As night fell, inside the meeting room of Grey Group.

Jensen checked his watch; it was already eight o’clock in the evening. Kent stood beside him and asked, “Sir, do you have any plans ahead?”

The crowd was discussing the development and analysis of new projects, until Jensen suddenly spoke.

“Stop the meeting.”

Everyone paused and looked straight at him.

“It’s too late. We call it a day. Everyone go home and rest.”

Staff members were always willing to work overtime here, for Grey Group offered extremely generous overtime benefits, including extra pay as well as performance bonuses.
