Chapter 1482 One Question Only
Sally began to crack her head for new ideas. For the rest of the journey, she did not strike up a conversation again.
When the car came to a stop, Sally was shocked when she saw their destination.
It was the former residence of the Maupay family.
Why did Kyle bring me to this isolated Maupay Manor? What is he trying to do? I better be careful.
“What is this place? Why are we here? It looks as if no one has been occupying this place for a long time,” asked Sally in puzzlement.
Kyle glanced at her sideways and replied, “This is the former residence of the Maupay family. Let’s go in.” With that, he walked in.
Confusion engulfed Sally. Why would Kyle be interested in such a run-down and dilapidated manor?
Did he discover something? Does he know that there are actually people staying here?
With those questions in her mind, Sally followed Kyle in.
Judging from the current condition of the house, the former glory of the manor was long gone. Thick layers of dust covered the European-styled garden. However, one could still tell that the former residents were extremely wealthy back then.
“The Maupay family was rumored to be a mystery of its own. They became well known in Y City out of the blue. But after a few months, they disappeared overnight. Have you ever heard of the rumors of the Maupay family before?”
“No!” Sally denied right away.
Kyle stared at her intently. Although she was putting on a very good show, the observant Kyle could tell from the way she was looking at the manor that something was amiss.
“Sally, why don’t we make a deal?”
His words sparked interest in her. “What kind of deal?”
“Earlier on, you asked if you stand a chance in joining Seet Group. I can make that happen. But, I have a condition.”
“What is it?”
“You are the daughter of the Maupay family, aren’t you? I want to know something. Back then, the Maupay family disappeared all of a sudden. Now, you show up out of the blue and try to get close to Seet Group. What is your intention?”
Sally looked at Kyle’s confident expression. It was very likely that he knew something.
Otherwise, he would not have asked without reservation.
Sally smiled. It was getting tiring to put on a fake front all the time. “You are really smart. How did you find out that I am the daughter of the Maupay family?”
“I wasn’t sure before this. I just wanted to verify my suspicion. It looks like my guess was right! You are indeed one of the Maupays!”
What? Kyle tricked me?
“That’s right. I am from the Maupay family. My name is Sally Maupay!
“Why are you trying to get close to Seet Group? Why did your family disappear into thin air back then? Rumor has it that it has something to do with my daddy. Is your family responsible for this rumor?”
“It seems like you have lots of unanswered questions. Which one will you like me to answer first?”
Sally paused before continuing, “That’s not right. Since you allow me to join Seet Group, I will only answer one question. One deal for one question. I think that’s only fair. A man like you won’t try to take advantage of me, will you? Well then, take your pick! Which question would you like me to answer?”
Just one question?
Among the questions he had, the one that had to do with Seet Group interested him the most. Therefore, he popped the question.
“So, you want to know my motive for getting close to Seet Group? All right, I’ll tell you. I’m trying to get into Seet Group to save a life!”
This is the truth!
“Save a life? Whose life?”
“My dad’s!”
“Maupay?”
“That’s right!”
“What does getting into Seet Group got to do with saving your dad’s life?”
“You are only allowed one question. As for the rest of your questions, you can go and check it out yourself.”
“I want a complete answer! If not, I will take it as you did not answer my question!”
