But he didn’t respond. He just turned and walked away without looking back.
With bodyguards blocking the path, Hadley couldn't get far.
“Miss Pearson, could you please wait here?”
“Hadley!” Eric quickly caught up. “Don’t be upset! There are still details we need to sort out... Remy and Linda
are giving different accounts. We can’t say for sure that Remy isn’t lying, right?”
“Is that so?” Hadley turned to him, a faint smile tugging at her lips.
“Then tell me, why would Remy want to frher?”
“We won't know until we investigate—"
“There's no need.” Hadley took a shallow breath and looked away. “What's the point? Even if she’s proved guilty,

won't let this go. I'll get to the bottom of this and give you an explanation. Truston this, okay?”
Hadley hesitated, but then gave a faint smile and nodded. “Alright.” Since he said so, she would wait. She
wanted to see who would be proved wrong in the end. Would it be him or her?

“Until you find out the truth and have something concrete, let's not see each other,” she added.
Eric froze. “I'll look into it right away.”
Back downstairs, Eric turned to Cordell and commanded, “Investigate when Remy and Linda first met and get
proof of any financial transactions between them.”
“Yes, Mr. Scott.”
