Chapter 1443

Francine frowned deeply. “See! I knew you guys weren’t monitoring her carefully enough! And I could

say the same for our family, too! We haven’t noticed any unusual goings-on at Adam Group, and we

haven’t heard anything about Sophia getting married or having a child. I find it very suspicious that

Sophia is deliberately concealing her marriage and her children! Any normal woman would want the

whole world to know that she’s married, but Sophia is being incredibly secretive. Everything is being

kept well under wraps! There is something fishy here!”

Xante had to tread carefully regarding that situation. “If Sophia intends to hide it, then why bring the

child back to the country at such a time? And why would she let Corinne see her? It’s quite a

contradiction, don’t you think?”

Francine replied, “How should I know? I came to you to ask for help! You must find out what Sophia

has been up to after returning to the country. We need information about her husband and children,

preferably including photos and detailed profiles! I don’t want to bring needless stress to my family for

now. My grandparents are old, and they won’t be able to handle all this information.”

Xante nodded reassuringly. “I assure you that I’ll assign someone to investigate this. You’ll be swiftly

informed of any developments.”

Francine exclaimed uneasily, “If your investigation brings up bad news, then it’s best to keep it from

Corinne. I highly suspect that the child Sophia is holding is the first child that Corinne gave birth to.

However, Corinne is as yet still unaware that she delivered triplets. If we can’t locate the child, I hope

she’ll never learn the truth about them.”

Xante adjusted her gold-rimmed spectacles and said, “Rest assured, we’re even more concerned

about our boss’s feelings than you are.”

Francine felt somewhat relieved and said, “That’s good to know. Please start the investigation as soon

as possible. Now that Sophia is in the country, we have a better chance of keeping her under control.

We’ve waited for a long time for this opportunity.”

Xante nodded and agreed, “I understand.”

After expressing her gratitude to Xante, Francine made her way to the door. She was worried about

Corinne, as the encounter with Sophia might have stirred up some uncomfortable memories. She

wanted to be there to comfort Corinne and help her avoid all those messy thoughts.

At the same time, she hoped that Xante would be able to uncover some clues. Francine had always

believed that Sophia had locked Jeremy up somehow, but she could not wrap her head around how

someone like Jeremy would end up in such a situation.

‘What happened back then? Why did my brother end up in a wheelchair? Why had they both

disappeared after Tommy escorted him to the airport?’ Those were some of the questions in Francine’s

mind. Neither Jeremy nor Sophia boarded the plane, yet the plane coincidentally had an accident. The

connection between all those events was simply perplexing.

During the past three years, the Holdens, the Riveras, as well as Xante and Aaron, kept tabs on the

Adam Group and Sophia. Alas, nothing unusual had been discovered. Adam wielded immense power

in Molomia, making it difficult for these parties to operate effectively. They often encountered resistance

from Adam’s associates and were at risk of being discovered.

With Sophia returning to the country, they needed to find some leads. After all, Francine had a gut

feeling that her brother was still alive.

As Francine approached the door, someone opened it from the outside. It was Aaron, who looked

rather surprised to see her. “Miss Francine, what brings you here?”

Francine replied with a serious expression, “I’ve explained everything to Miss Xante, so you can ask

her to tell you what I said. I hope your side can make a quick investigation and prevent her from

escaping again!” she said, leaving in a hurry.

Aaron muttered to himself in bewilderment, “Let who escape?”
