On the other end of the line, Archie asked in surprise, "For real?"
"Yeah, for real."
Upon getting the answer he wanted, the man hung up the phone in satisfaction.
Natalia exhaled. She thought of something and called Mr. K.
"Hell, Mr. K. How is your investigation going?"
"I'm still watching. So far I haven't got any clue yet."
Natalia creased her brows.
She felt somewhat disappointed.
However, she knew that it had been five years, so the investigation must not be that easy. Hence, she didn't give any remarks.
Much to her surprise, Mr. K suddenly asked, "By the way, Natalia, do you have any family or friends in Eqitin?"
Natalia was taken aback.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"Recently, I found the Dawson family frequently contacted someone from Eqitin and it was not about business. So far I haven't found the identity of the other party, so I was just asking."
Eqitin?
As far as Natalia knew, before Philip Dawson married her mother, he was just a college student without any money.
Years ago in Julio, the Hawkins family was the richest in town. They have only one daughter, so they wanted her to marry a live-in husband. Natalia's grandfather liked Philip's shrewdness and competence, so he brought him and Natalia's mother together.
What happened next was known by the public.
Philip disguised himself for almost twenty years, deceiving everyone, including his father-in-law and wife. After Natalia's mother died, he changed the original Hawkins Group to Dawson Group, completely taking over the wealth of the family.
A lot of people disdained him for what he had done to obtain the wealth.
Although Philip had some achievements later, it was the best he could do to use the remaining influence of the Hawkins family and developed his company in Julio. Natalia didn't believe that he could know someone from Eqitin.
She frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, she could not think of an answer.
"I don't know about it. Does it have anything to do with my mother?"
"Not quite likely. I just think it's quite weird. That person always wore a black windbreaker and mask when coming over, usually coming at midnight. If it were for business, why would the person choose to visit at midnight?"
Natalia slightly shook.
She also smelt something fishy in this matter.
She said, "I agree with you. Please continue to keep an eye on them for me. Hopefully, you can find who the person is"
"Okay, I'll try my best. The person doesn't look like an ordinary one. I'm afraid it's not that easy to find out."
"Please try your best effort. Thank you so much."
After hanging up the phone, Natalia fell into the silence.
She recalled what Philip had said before – since her mother died, the Dawson family had been declining in Julio. Later, Ambario Prosperities also began to suppress it, so he could never expand his business in Eqitin.
That was why Natalia didn't think the person who visited at midnight was for business.
She wondered what the person's purpose was.
She frowned.
In the evening, she didn't go back home immediately. Instead, she went to the training studio to check on the trainees who were about to participate in a talent show after the holiday.
Although it was still a holiday, since the talent show was approaching, the training schedule was quite tight. Hence, none of the trainees had gone home for the holiday.
Natalia bought them some gifts as reward. She also said a few words of encouragement to them before leaving.
When she was heading home, it was nine o'clock in the evening.
It was a cold winter, quite chilly.
