"Oh, right!"
The private detective pulled a medical record from his bag, placed it on the table, and pushed it toward Angeline.
"This is the medical record of Ned, the current CEO of Fletcher Corporation. You might find this interesting. I'll include this as a complimentary service at no charge, as a thank you for the years of support you've provided our detective agency."
After reviewing the donation certificate from Yates Group, Angeline opened Ned's medical record. It clearly stated that Ned's memory was gradually recovering. The detective expected an emotional reaction from Angeline, but her expression remained undecipherable.
He scratched his nose in confusion and remarked, "Ms. Emmerson, your reaction is not what I anticipated."
Angeline closed the medical record and casually placed it on the coffee table.
"In the future, don't overstep on matters I haven't asked you to investigate."
"Right!"
The detective made an 'okay' gesture and couldn't help but add, "I took the liberty of looking into your history with Mr. Fletcher. What a passionate love affair in your youth! If Mr. Fletcher recalls your past together, he might even help you go against Yates Group."
"There's no need for that," Angeline said with a smile.
She looked at the detective across from her and lifted her coffee cup.
"I prefer to handle things I can do myself without involving others."
After all, her plan involved taking revenge on Ned as well.
"The coffee is on you," Angeline said, then picked up her bag and left the café.
Just as Angeline exited the café, she ran into Bradley, who had arrived with some classmates.
