Chapter 231
Linda and Tyler were talking about work in the study.
âWe've gone through all the accounts for our branch in Seta City.
Everything seems to be in order.â
Tyler had shown up at the party mostly to check on the Harris Group's
branch, the Pinnacle Group. But they hadn't figured out why money
had been missing for years.
âWhen it all looks too good, something's usually off. Did you look into
the management team?â Tyler asked, his expression serious as he
looked over the accounts.
âYes, but we didn't find anything. We even sneakily added a finance
expert to the branch,â Linda
explained.
Tyler listened quietly.
Linda then remembered something important. âOh, Mr. Tyler, I need to
tell you something. Claude's grandfather passed away.â
Tyler suddenly turned to look at Linda. âWhen did it happen?â
âAbout an hour ago. I found out while we were in the car.â
Tyler closed the folder and became quiet.
âShould we go and show our respects?â Linda knew the Harrises and
the Pearces had a unique relationship, so she tread carefully. âThey
just told us the news..."
Tyler asked, âWhen is the funeral?â
âIn three days.â
âOkay,â he said flatly and looked down, rubbing his fingers together as if
he was thinking hard. His expression turned cold before saying, âWe
were family once, so it's only right we show our respects now that my
grandfatherâinâlaw has passed.â
Linda felt her heart skip a beat at his casual remark. âSince we're done
with the inspection, we can head back to Tide City.â
âOkay,â Tyler replied, still sounding distant.
Olivia had dozed off while watching TV in bed. Linda saw her sleeping
peacefully as she left the study.
Tyler came out after Linda. He told her, âYou can go now.â
Linda paused and looked at him. âAlright, Mr. Tyler.â
After Linda left, Tyler went over to Olivia. She looked so calm in her
sleep.
He carefully tucked her in and caressed her face. After a brief
moment, he stopped and stood by the

bed for a while before going back to the study.
Olivia woke up suddenly at 10 pm, confused about where she was.
After seeing the large TV, she remembered she was on a work trip with
Tyler.
She felt worn out, especially now that she was pregnant and past the
morning sickness.
