Counterback of the Despised Luna by Diana West

Chapter 227 Could It Be a Coincidence? Just then, a knock sounded at the door, followed by Yale's untimely voice. "Mr. Holbrook I seized the moment to push Caden away. "Someone's here. Let go of me" +8 Pearls Caden frowned but eventually released me. He straightened his slightly disheveled clothes and spoke in a deep voice. "Cin" Yale entered the office and he was taken aback when he saw me.

"What is it?" Caden impatiently loosened his tie and leaned back in his chair, casting a cold glance at Yale, Yale immediately composed himself, stepped forward, and respectfully reported, "Mr. Holbrook. I've found sinformation on Heartstone Jewels.

"Go on," Caden said, his expression unreadable.

Yale opened the file in his hands, handed it to Caden, and explained, "Ever since the plagiarism incident, Heartstone Jewels has suffered severe damage-not just to its reputation but also to its business operations. Their financial chain collapsed, and the company was on the verge of bankruptcy." I frowned. "If Heartstone Jewels is in such bad shape, then how is it still posing such a threat to us?" "Because someone bought out Heartstone Jewels," Yale replied, glancing at me.

"Bought it out?" Caden's tone carried a hint of surprise.

I was just as puzzled.

Who would acquire a company riddled with scandals and on the brink of collapse? "Yes," Yale nodded firmly.

Caden's expression darkened. "Who bought it?" Yale pointed at the document on the desk. “A company from Aurion called Baxter Pty Ltd, or BPL for short." Aurion? My heart skipped a beat.

If I remember correctly, the maintenance worker, Isaac, who had tampered with the chandelier that nearly fell onhad his accident in Aurion.

And now, the company that had acquired Heartstone Jewels, Baxter Pty Ltd, was also based in Aurion. Was this really just a coincidence? "BPL?" Caden's face grew even colder. His fingers tapped rhythmically against the desk as he asked, "Do we have any information on this company?" Yale flipped through his papers and reported, "From what I found online, BPL was established a fe ago. It has a broad business scope, covering real estate, jewelry, cosmetics, and fashion across the Werewolf Continent. Since its founding, it has expanded rapidly, growing into a formidable player in just a few short Chapter 227 Could It Be a Coincidence? +B Pearls He hesitated for a moment before continuing. There are rumors that BPI made its fortune through underground dealings." "Underground dealings?" Caden's lips curled slightly.

I was taken aback. A company built on illegal dealings No wonder I'd never heard of it before: Caden's brows furrowed. "Who founded this company? What's their background?" Yale respectfully replied, "The CEO of BPL is extremely low-key and mysterious. All we know is that he's an immigrant from Aurion. Other than that, there's no information available on him." An immigrant from Aurion? Low-key and mysterious? A fortune made through illegal dealings? I searched my memory but couldn't think of anyone who fit the description of this CEO.

For someone from the underground, keeping a low profile was expected.

However, this particular CEO had not only acquired Heartstone Jewels but had also immediately launched imitation Ice and Fire jewelry, aggressively targeting Eclipse Group's market. Was this just an opportunistic move? Or was it a deliberate attack on us? The situation was becoming more and more complicated.

"Keep investigating, Caden ordered.

"Yes, Mr. Holbrook." Yale nodded and then left the office.

I followed him out.

Just as I stepped forward, Caden's deep voice stopped me.

"Rosaline, wait." I halted and turned back. "Caden, what now?" I really didn't want to stay any longer. This man loved to pusharound, always finding excuses to touch me.

Caden's face darkened slightly. "We're still on work hours. What I need to discuss with you is business-related. "The Ice and Fire issue has already been addressed," I replied, instinctively taking a step back-just in case he tried something again.

"It's about another project." Caden's gaze swept overbefore he continued in a serious tone.

1 frowned slightly. "Another project?" "Yes." He pulled a file from his drawer. "This is for the Azure B Bay project. Take a look." Chapter 227 Could It Be a Coincidence?

My eyes fell on the thick stack of documents on his desk, confusion e flickering across my face. A new project for Azure Bay? 100% +8 Pearis

"In a few days, the government will be opening bids for a piece of land near O Azure Bay, Caden explained.

Watching my expression closely. "I plan to develop a large-scale amusement park there." An amusement park....

Suddenly, the memories of our tat the amusement park in Fostrau flashed in my mind.

On the Ferris wheel, he had kissed me.

He had told me. The top of the Ferris wheel is the closest place to om happiness If lovers kiss at the highest point, they'll stay together forever. Just like us." Together forever...

How ridiculous it was.

The memory made my mind drift for a moment.

"Caden, you must be exhausted after staying up all night. Have scoffee to wake up." Heidi suddenly pushed the door open and walked in, holding a cup of coffee.
