Chapter 828 The Original Purpose
Recalling how dark August's face was getting with rage, Lucia and Janet burst into laughter complacently. What a triumph they'd achieved to fool August! And the next move just depended on Timothy's performance.
"Currer Sullen quit her job in Cloud Technology for no reason and went to Cardiff two years ago." Timothy said seriously at his office table. "That's the very moment when father's accident happened, and she is with him now. All the facts lead to a conclusion that it is a conspiracy."
"We should have missed out the important clue that Currer has long joined hands with the Smith family.’ Lucia just felt a shiver of chill going down her spine. And she began to wonder why the organization could be ignorant of this fact when the situations both at home and abroad were so fierce, and the rival had placed so many spies here.
There must be some mightier power behind the scene," Timothy shook his head thoughtfully while sorting his files, "for Currer and Edmund alone are not enough to provoke so huge a tempest." Lion Group almost declined two years ago when August was no longer behind the wheel of it. In fact, the company was not only an intelligence network for the organization, but an important sector to interdict the illegal capital flow. The collapse of the company would definitely result in the rampant behavior of the parties with manipulation, besides losing the cover and source of information. As two many parties were involved in this game with their potential interests, it was rather difficult to determine their intertwined relationships.
I don't care much either about Griffith or the organization." Lucia said slowly when she cooled down. "What I ask for is only a life of common people."
"I'm afraid what you ask for was crossed out from the list the moment you chose father as your man." Timothy observed before he passed her the files he'd sorted out. "You are the only one who could enable the collaboration between Lion Group and Cardiff Business Coalition."
Taking the pile of files, Lucia put a frown on her forehead. "Business of exporting? I've never set foot in it and that's too risky. Plus, the Smith family’s business is not totally legal. I'm afraid we will end with a Waterloo."
"Currer works for Cardiff Business Coalition." said Timothy. "Risky as the plan sounds, it is the only way we could approach father. We'll have to delve into the company if we are to rival Card iff.
To rival Cardiff? Lucia's face darkened as she examined Timothy with a solemn tone, Did you accept any mission from the organization without my knowledge?"
Timothy knew that was the last thing Lucia would allow him to do. He nodded honestly, though steering away from her gaze. "I'm the son of father and you, and it's natural for me to be a member of the organization. I don't think any of us could just sit by and watch something intolerable."
It has nothing to do with me what sort of entity the organization is. I don't give a damn about that. I won't partake in it, nor will I allow you to." Lucia declared solemnly before she slapped the files down on the table.
Do that acting to Uncle Flynt." Timothy complained with resignation. "Why don't you show me your real intention? If you really don't care about it at all, you wouldn't have taken the adventures again and again even at the price of your life!"
