Chapter 1313: Chapter 1308: Have You Been in Touch With Zhou Qiang All This Time?
Nicholas Croft was shocked to hear this news; originally... Lara is not Henry Hargrave’s daughter. No wonder he always felt that there was no resemblance between them as father and daughter. At the time, he thought Lara took after her mother.
Unexpectedly, there was another reason behind it.
His dark eyes tightened once more, somewhat suspicious. If... it is really as Hannah Hargrave says, then Josephine Hawthorne is indeed vicious, skilled in deception and patience... It seems Hannah truly inherited her genes.
It’s not hard to tell from Hannah’s words that she is quite drunk; otherwise, she wouldn’t have revealed such secrets. Nicholas raised his glass to hers again, watching her down the wine and took the opportunity to ask.
"Have you always been in touch with Zhou Qiang?"
Hannah wobbled as she put down her wine glass, frowned, and murmured, "Who is Zhou Qiang... I’ve never heard this name. Do I know him?"
"Don’t you remember? He’s the driver who hit Lara." Nicholas coaxed, staring closely at Hannah, not wanting to miss any detail.
Hannah frowned even more, seemingly trying hard to recall memories about this person. After thinking for a long time, she shook her head, "Don’t know him, never heard of him,"
Having said that, she extended her empty glass towards Nicholas, "Wine, I want more wine..."
Nicholas poured her another glass, "Think carefully, maybe you forgot because it’s been too long,"
"I already said I don’t know him, why are you forcing me..." Hannah seemed impatient, pouting at Nicholas.
Nicholas also realized that she didn’t seem to be pretending; perhaps his initial approach was wrong. With someone like Hannah, all she needed to do was instruct her subordinates, no need to act personally.
Thinking about this, Nicholas’s eyes narrowed slightly and then suddenly widened; subordinates... they have to be the most trusted to be assigned tasks, especially for criminal activities... A figure quickly flashed through his mind.
Someone who is "closest" to Hannah is her assistant. The private investigator had sent many photos of them together...
His dark eyes tightened once more; Nicholas decided to start the investigation with Harry Zachary. If Hannah is the mastermind, then Harry is the errand boy.
Hannah was quite drunk, eventually slumping on the dining table, still calling out "Croft..."
...
The next day, Nicholas went to the office. He reassured Sophie Foster first, and then instructed Xiao Mei to take good care of her before leaving the house.
On his first day back at the company, there was an endless stream of work. He held a meeting in the morning and discussed investing in new films with several producers in the afternoon.
While he was out of the country, the company invested in two movies, one of which was a collaboration with Hannah’s company.
Some insiders may not understand this, such as Tang, the company’s assistant, who once questioned why he was collaborating with Hannah when it’s clear she’s the prime suspect in the car accident...
At that time, he did not explain the reasons, simply instructed the assistant to proceed as planned.
In fact, he had his own motives. His Lara is also a member of the Hargrave Family. Why should Hannah inherit Henry’s company when his Lara gets nothing?
He was planning to lull Hannah into lowering her guard and then gradually swallow Phoenix Entertainment for his Lara. However, now Hannah has revealed this shocking secret, whether it’s true still needs further verification, so before the results are in, he must follow his original plan. That way, even if Hannah lied and cheated him, his plan can still be implemented.
