There was no way Conrad would believe Zac had died from being bitten by sharks after falling into the ocean while drunk. Yet, he had no evidence to prove this. Due to Zac’s death, Conrad lost a business. partner and strong support. Without Zac, he had nothing to bargain with Matthew.
“No, that’s not it-I still have Spinfluence Group. As long as the company still exists, Matthew is no match for me!” Conrad mumbled to himself. The panicked look on his face had betrayed his own mind, though.
Without Zac, Conrad didn’t think he could fight against Matthew. However, he didn’t want to give up. At that moment, Conrad suddenly thought of something.
No, there is still someone who can help me. Yes, Joey Nibel Francis! If I can work with him, Matthew won’t be a match against us, he thought. Joey was the third brother of Zac. He was also the one who cared for Zac the most.
As Conrad thought about it, he was in a good. mood. He cackled with laughter as he stood up and grabbed a cup of water from the dispenser. Even while drinking water, he still had a smile plastered on his face.
Then, he used his connections to get Joey’s phone number. Immediately, he dialed the number on his phone.
Ring. Ring. Ring. The phone was ringing. After some time, someone picked up the phone. “Hello, Who ist this?”
“Hello, Mr. Joey. My name is Conrad Kings…”
He had only mentioned his name when the person hung up. The person didn’t know whol Conrad was and wanted nothing to do with him.
“What the f*ck?!” Conrad cursed as he gripped his phone tightly.
Out of desperation, he could only send a message. ‘You may not know me, but I am friends with your brother, Zac. I am truly sorry about what happened to him, but I have my suspicions about the cause of his death. Can I ask you a question, Mr. Joey? How am I able to contact Zac’s subordinates? I want to investigate this case and bring justice to him.”
He wrote the text in Trilas and sent it to Joey. Conrad was a smart man. He knew Joey would despise him if he told the latter about their cooperation. However, he would be on Joey’s good side if he used Zac’s death instead. Conrad recalled that Zac had told him before that Joey was the closest to him among his siblings.
Thus, this was the best way to get Joey to help him. However, there was no response from Joey. Although Conrad was anxious, he didn’t dare pester the man too much.
On the other hand, the servants were preparing dinner at Pinewoods Villa. According to Eleanor’s request, Matthew cooked two dishes for her.
The entire afternoon, Veronica, Shirley, and Yvette accompanied Eleanor as they played golf. After they were done, they went swimming on the balcony. Since it was the end of October, the weather was windy and cool; it was the perfect weather for them. The others knew about Shirley’s condition and treated her with caution. They didn’t dare stare at her face for long since they feared it would provoke her.
At 6.30PM, dinner was ready. They decided to dine outdoors, so they placed the dining table outside. Not far away from the table was a huge screen, and the projector was playing a recent film.
Once everyone was seated, Matthew stood up and raised his glass. “Today is Eleanor’s welcoming banquet. This is her first time in Bloomstead, and she’ll be spending the rest of her life here. Let’s toast to her arrival.”
