Chapter 593 Sean’s True Colors
“Does he know who leaked the secret?” Veronica was considerably shocked. She had never expected such a major incident to happen.
A few days ago, he even said that Zac would be visiting Bloomstead sometime soon. There was unrest in Bloomstead these days, so could this have something to do with Zac?
“I still haven’t figured that out,” Colt replied. “Alright. Just rest for a while, you two. You can figure out Yvonne’s whereabouts tomorrow.” “Understood, President Murphy.”
Colt ended the call. Everything instantly went quiet in the huge ward. The desolate silence seemed to itch her insides like ants, stopping her from finding peace.
Just the liquidated damages and compensation alone cost five billion; this was proof enough of the humongous scale of this business. The chain reaction it must have caused would incur even greater losses. In fact, it was so severe that it was impossible to estimate.
Veronica leaned against the headboard and let out a deep sigh.
“Such a huge incident happened, but in the end, he’s still reluctant to tell me about it.”
She shook her head, feeling that Matthew was too good at protecting her. He even treated her like a sheltered little child.
In the future, there would be even more difficulties and challenges to face. She couldn’t let him brave all of those alone.
It was late at night, but Veronica was wide awake.
She crawled along the pipes outside, which was situated below the window of the washroom. She descended three floors, then snuck into the washroom on the twenty-first floor. She tiptoed out to find all the patients sleeping and walked out boldly.
After leaving the hospital, Veronica hailed a cab back to her apartment. She changed her clothes and brought a laptop with her, then drove away from the heart of the city.
While on the road, she took her phone and made a call. “I’m sorry for disturbing you so late at night. Were you asleep?”
“Why are you calling me in the middle of the night?”
“I’ll be waiting for you at your private detective agency in half an hour.”
With that, Veronica ended the call straight away.
After driving to the suburbs, Veronica pulled up at the entrance of a private house. Then, she walked over there and knocked on the door.
Soon, someone came and answered the door. “I have an appointment with your boss.”
With that, Veronica walked right inside.
She went up to the third floor and sat in the reception room, helping herself to some water.
Soon, a man with golden hair and blue eyes appeared in the reception room. When he saw Veronica, he curled his lips into a smile. “Let me guess; you’re here for something related to Matthew, aren’t you?”
Veronica placed her elbow on the table as she supported her head, cocking her head to one side as she looked at him. “You really are outsmarting everyone else, Mr. Ludwig. It is no wonder you can run a private detective agency under everyone’s noses and still be the boss of Starshine at the same time. I have always been curious, though—how do you manage your dual identities?”
Indeed, the boss of the private detective agency was none other than Sean from Starshine.
Since Veronica was quite skilled at hacking, she had a little fame in the hacker community.
To investigate her foster father’s accident, she had no way but to ask the community if there were any private detectives for hire in Bloomstead. Then, someone recommended this hidden gem of a detective agency.
Veronica bumped into Sean after that, but she still wasn’t sure of his identity back then.
In their encounters that followed, and after making contact with Sean at Starshine, she finally confirmed that Sean was the boss of the private detective agency.
“Since you already know this, how am I supposed to keep it up?”
Sean sat opposite Veronica and crossed his legs. He removed a cigarette from his cigarette case and lit it, then took a puff.
He looked at Veronica with a cold gaze, shaking his head. “You know I don’t welcome you, so why are you still here?”
“Despite everything, we’ve worked together before. Don’t get so hung up on grudges, Mr. Ludwig.”
Veronica knew that Sean hated her. After all, she had snatched Colt and his partner from Sean some time ago.
Colt was a very capable person, and Sean had favored him greatly.
At first, Veronica could only guess Sean’s relationship with the private detective agency. After that, she took great pains to squeeze some information from Colt. It was only then that she confirmed Sean’s identity.
