Kendrick's brow furrowed as he studied the document in his hands. The incident at the medical base was Darcy's handiwork.
The investigation hadn't been challenging. It was clear that Darcy had manipulated a money-hungry man to do her bidding. A small sum of money was all it took to uncover everything he needed to know.
Darcy harbored many secrets about him. If he acted rashly, he might face repercussions.
This issue required a long-term strategy. It was high time to wrest control of some matters from Darcy's hands. If things continued as they were, disaster was inevitable.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Mr. Hofstead, there's a document that requires your signature."
It was Darcy.
Kendrick's eyes slightly darkened as he commanded. "Enter."
This day marked the first step. Colton's situation was precarious, and he couldn't afford any further delays.
"Mr. Hofstead, this document is rather urgent and requires your signature. Also, there's an impromptu meeting scheduled for this afternoon; you need to prepare for it."
Darcy entered, completely unaware that her actions had already been discovered. She felt a sense of accomplishment, considering that she had managed to keep her involvement in this matter completely hidden from everyone.
Kendrick looked at Darcy thoughtfully and responded with a simple "Hmm."
Seeing Kendrick's change in demeanor, she began to feel uneasy. Kendrick's attitude was no longer as friendly as before.
"Mr. Hofstead." Her voice quivered slightly. She wanted to inquire about something, but after starting, she didn't know how to continue with her words.

What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
