Beata couldn't wait any longer.

She walked over immediately to ask the security guard about the situation.

The guard, surprised by her question, said, "You want to see Mr. Martin? Why didn't you schedule an appointment with his assistant? Mr. Martin has already left for the day. Our company has an underground parking lot."

Underground parking lot?

Beata froze, her entire body stiffening with a trace of embarrassment on her face.

She had completely overlooked the parking lot and had been standing here foolishly for half an hour.

"I remember seeing you earlier today. Do you still have urgent business with Mr. Martin? If so, you can call his assistant now and set up an appointment for tomorrow," the guard helpfully suggested again.

Beata had lost her motivation. So, she half-heartedly replied, "Alright, I'll contact Mr. Martin's assistant and schedule a time. It was my oversight today."

Then, she walked to the curb and flagged down a cab.

Sitting inside, she stared at the phone number in her contacts. The only number she had was Paul's. She had asked Joe for his direct contact information several times, but he had always refused.

How infuriating! She refused to believe she couldn't conquer this hard-to-crack nut.

Later, she casually searched online for information about Joe's wife, Skylar. Seeing that Skylar was also an extraordinary beauty, her competitive spirit flared up.

Competing for a man with someone equally remarkable gave her an

unprecedented sense of rivalry. If Beata wanted a man, she had to get him no matter what.

A few days later, Aiken met up with Skylar for lunch to discuss some information he found.

They chose a quiet restaurant near the Gardner building. After they sat down, Aiken brought up Thelma's family situation.

"Her parents' deaths back then weren't accidents. It was a premeditated murder. Their factory had some issues, and the factory. director hired someone to silence them to cover up product quality problems and avoid losing his job.

"My people had some intel on this back then and made certain deals with the factory, which is why it never came to light. As for the gas explosion that injured her

grandmother and brother, it wasn't accidental either-it was his doing."

Skylar nodded. "If that's the case, this situation is complicated. After all these years, there's probably no evidence left."

Aiken replied, "Her parents might have left a recording. If we can find it, we might be able to help her avenge her parents."

"Alright, I'll talk to them about it later," Skylar said, her expression serious.

After they spoke a little longer, Aiken hesitated before asking Skylar, "I know Wendy sometimes stays in touch with you. Has she mentioned me?"

Skylar gave him a thoughtful look. "You still care about Wendy, don't you?"

"She was with me for years. Over time, I developed feelings for hers The breakup was my fault-I was the one in the wrong," Aiken admitted, his tone heavy.

These past few days, he had been thinking about Wendy constantly. Gradually, he realized he had never fully acknowledged her importance to him.

He had thought their relationship lacked passion and had turned to Zera in pursuit of it, only to find it utterly meaningless.
