Watching the spectacle on her screen, Mira asked Owen, "When are you planning to make your move?"
She was referring to exposing Lawrence's crimes.
If the police showed up to drag Lawrence away right now, the scene would be spectacularly chaotic.
"No rush. Let the suspense build a little longer.
If I bring the police in today, people will say I'm being too ruthless as a family member. I'd just end up getting criticized."
Owen replied casually.
"Let's wait until the guests leave. Tomorrow."
He wanted to let them enjoy their high for just a bit longer.
"You just don't want the Lance Group's stock to tank too hard, do you?"
Mira saw right through him. Being publicly traded had its downsides.
With the ceremony over, Mira lost interest in the gossip and turned her attention back to her work and studies.
Just then, Leah called again. "Mira, I looked into it. That guy is Seraphina's cousin, Gwen's nephew. His name is Garrett Gale.
He's also a student at Aethelgard University, in the same major as Seraphina, currently a sophomore."
"Good. I'll send you your reward later."
Since she was just a pawn, Leah didn't need to possess stellar moral character. She was still incredibly useful.
In the afternoon, Rachel called. "Mira, do you want me to bring Eleanor back?"
"Does Eleanor want to come back?"
"She hasn't mentioned it. She's in high spirits. She only said she was worried you might be anxious if she stayed out too long."
Sending the old lady to the Aethelgard Jewelry Plaza was definitely the right call.
"Alright, I'll give her a call and ask."
Owen chimed in, "You absolutely cannot let Eleanor come back. I bet Gwen is going to show up just to gloat.
They'll probably drop by either tonight or tomorrow morning."
Mira immediately dialed Eleanor's number. "Eleanor, how was your day?"
