Miranda?
Giselle was taken aback. Wasn’t this Mila’s close friend?
Yes.
Charles frowned slightly. Lately, my team has faced significant obstacles while quietly trying to divide and win over clients connected to the Lockwood family. After investigating, it turns out that Miranda, with a group of agents, is stirring up trouble. A few major projects have already slipped through our fingers.
Why is she doing this? Giselle was puzzled.
Previously, because Lysander had paid attention to this woman and her connection to Mila, Giselle had someone look into it.
Miranda was part of Horizon Group, the sole heiress of the Wayne family.
From what she knew, the Wayne family was wealthy but lacked significant power and influence. Their industry focus wasn’t closely related to the Lockwood family either.
Now that the head of the Lockwood family was missing, many, including the Harvey family, were eyeing the opportunity. But it didn’t make sense for the Wayne family to join in; they’d gain nothing from this chaos.
It was baffling.
Charles shook his head. I had it checked out. This is Miranda’s personal vendetta; the Wayne family isn’t involved.
That made it even stranger.
Giselle’s brow furrowed. Could it be revenge?
Was Miranda causing trouble for the Harvey family because of Giselle’s relationship with Lysander, to avenge her friend Mila?
That didn’t quite add up.
They had been very discreet in this operation, working through agents without showing their hand. Until they were certain the Lockwood family was finished, they needed to proceed cautiously.
The Wayne family, especially Mila, without the title of Mrs. Montgomery, was insignificant and lacked the capability to take on the Harvey family.
Impossible, Charles dismissed the idea of revenge.
Miranda’s just a troublemaker. No matter what resources the Lockwood family holds, her agents seize them with high bids or incite chaos, causing projects to fall through.
Giselle’s brow furrowed deeper. This was a real wrench in the works.
Moreover, even if it were true, why would someone like Roland trust Miranda to help him?
The more she thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.
But the coincidences forced her to consider, what if Miranda was indeed connected to Roland’s situation?
…
What are you thinking about?
Charles interrupted her thoughts, noticing her silent contemplation.
Dad, have someone check where Miranda has been recently, and immediately pull back all our people stationed outside.
Why?
Dad, do you really believe Roland is dead?
Charles met his daughter’s intense gaze, speechless for a long moment. He wouldn’t believe it unless he saw a body.
