Chapter 2021 Reinvestigate “Actually, I know what Harrier is up to.” Hazel smiled wryly. “My dad can’t see it, but I can. On the surface, he makes it seem like he’s working together with the Yarrow and the Atkinson families. Behind the scenes, however, he has been coming up with his own schemes. When the three families work together, he will do his best to get benefits out of it.

However, he will let the other two families take all the risks. He always comes up with glorious excuses and makes it seem like he’s sacrificing himself to help others. This time was a perfect example. My dad is so grateful to him and was thanking Harrier for giving me the chance to come on this inspection.”

“If you knew all that, why did you still want to come?” Danrique questioned. “Is it okay if I speak my mind?” Hazel asked cautiously. “Go on.” Danrique was rather impressed by her honesty.

“The main reason is that I want to spend more alone time with you,” Hazel answered directly. “Besides, among our generation, I think you’re the most capable person among the three great families. Mr. Yarrow’s son is a spoiled brat and is not interested in running the family business. Although Harrier is slightly more capable, he’s too greedy and ambitious.

He’s always trying to take advantage of the people close to him. However, he doesn’t have what it takes to fight against outsiders. A person like him won’t achieve great things. I don’t want to be like him and focus on schemes and plots. Instead, I want to see the outside world and broaden my horizon.

If the three great families continue to prosper, I believe in my capability of carrying the Atkinson family forward.

Even if something were to go wrong with the three great families in the future, I could still uphold the Atkinson family on my own!”

Danrique was stunned when he heard that. At the same time, his opinion of Hazel changed slightly. Compared to the others in the three great families, she seems to have a clearer mind and the required fighting spirit! In fact, she knows there’s a possibility I might destroy the three great families in the future.

I don’t sense a hint of resentment in her tone. Instead, she was just brutally honest. I think she knows that it’s only natural in the business arena for the strong to dominate the weak.

Although nothing was certain, Hazel was willing to work hard in enriching her relationships and strengthening her family. “Therefore, please don’t hate me, Mr. Lindberg.” Then, she added, “I’m working hard, but I won’t force anything upon you. Also, I’m not going to come up with schemes behind your back. I just hope that I can be there whenever you need me!”

“You sound very sincere,” Danrique replied indifferently. “For now, I don’t think you were involved in helping your dad kidnap Cece and drugging her in the banquet hall.”

“What?” Hazel was taken aback, and she quickly answered, “No way! Although my dad wants me to get close to you, he’s not capable of doing such a thing.”

Danrique glanced at her coldly and kept mum.

“Please trust me. My dad never did such a thing. He has always been the most cowardly in the three great families.

How could he possibly have the courage to kidnap someone close to you?”

Danrundefinedqique narrowed his eyes when he heard that. She has a point.

Danrique sent her home and went back to his villa. Sean and the others rushed back at once, and they were relieved to see him unharmed.

Right before any of them could say a word, Danrique ordered, “Re-investigate Cece’s kidnapping case.”

“Noted, Mr. Lindberg.” Sean glanced at him sheepishly and said, “There’s something else I need to report to you.

Please don’t get angry, okay?”

“Speak!” Danrique had just had a long night, and he was drinking his tea gracefully.

“Ms. Felch has run off!”

Spurt!
