Chapter 1402 Sally And The Maupay Family
“Would you believe me if I say no?” asked Sally instead of answering his question.
A smile came over Kyle’s face as he replied without hesitation, “No.”
“I’m telling you the truth. I know you don’t believe me, but I have no intention of hiding anything from you. May I ask, will you blame me if I have no choice but to do something harmful to the Seet family one day?” Sally stopped in her tracks and asked Kyle sincerely.
Kyle’s eyes darkened at her question, and he took a moment to process what he heard. “It depends. I won’t forgive you if you hurt my family.”
Sally’s expression turned grim as she felt Kyle’s words like knives stabbing in her heart.
“I can help you if there’s anything you need,” said Kyle.
Help… Kyle’s saying he could help me?
Sally felt her heart warm up when Kyle said that. However, even though she was willing to believe that his words were true, she knew there was nothing he could do for her.
She smiled bitterly and said, “I’m just joking with you. I don’t need any help. I… I would never hurt your family.”
Even so, Kyle noticed the helplessness and avoidance in her eyes.
“Let’s call it a day. I have things to attend to, so I’ll get going first,” said Sally before she turned and left.
Meanwhile, Kyle watched her leave as he wondered what exactly she was up to.
He narrowed his eyes as he pulled out his phone and made a call to Draven. “Put everything aside and keep an eye on Sally. I want you to report everything about her to me.”
“Understood.”
Meanwhile, Draven was confused, since not only did Juan have him monitor Sally, but Kyle also did the same. Draven was curious about the woman who had caught the attention of the Seet brothers.
At that instant, he decided that he should put in all his efforts to check Sally out.
He pondered for a moment before he pulled out his phone and called Jeremy from the Hidden Masters.
“You want me to investigate Sally?”
“Yes. You four have nothing to do in the meantime anyway. Just help me look her up.”
“Draven, you’re on a whole different level than the Hidden Masters. Do you really need my help on such a small matter?”
“Small matter? It’s not a small matter. Both Mr. Juan and Mr. Kyle are very concerned about this. If you guys manage to find out about her, they will reward you handsomely.”
“It’s just a girl. Why do they care so much?”
“That goes to show that this girl is not that simple. She must have some powerful connections backing her, not to mention how incredible she is that she has it so well-kept all this time. It’s going to be exciting to go against someone like that.”
“There’s no need for that. I’m finally getting a breather, so I have no intention of seeking this sort of excitement.”
“Jeremy, if you can help me find something this time, then I’ll consider looking into the Maupay family’s secrets that you guys had always wanted to know.”
Draven’s offer was a rather good deal for Jeremy.
The Maupay family’s existence was a mystery of its own. No one knew how or why the entire family disappeared overnight.
Rumors were saying they had messed with some influential figure and so the entire family was wiped out. A different rumor was that they had gone to live in seclusion to work on some sort of secret weapon.
Back then, the Maupay family only took six months after their arrival in Y City to achieve the level of the infamous Seet Group. Thus, many people related the Maupay family’s disappearance to Evan. They suspected that it was business warfare and Evan wanted to monopolize the market, so he hired a mysterious organization to make the kill.
Evan was also puzzled by the Maupay family’s disappearance, and he even had the Hidden Masters look into it. However, they could not find anything at all. The investigation went on for six months, yet it was as though the Maupay family had vanished into thin air. Thus, they had no choice but to give up.
Jeremy’s interest was piqued now that Draven brought it up again.
