Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Picking You Up
Howard Rhodes said, "Boss, that man must be married to Miss Summers."
"Married?" Archie Summers barked, gritting his teeth in fury.
"Yes, Boss. Look at this..." After a moment’s thought, Howard Rhodes handed the file to Archie Summers.
Archie Summers glanced through a few pages. It was an investigative report detailing every place Mika had gone and every person she had met over the past few years.
He saw that Mika had dropped out of college during her sophomore year. After that, she hadn’t even held a job.
’What on earth has Mika been doing all these years?!’ The more he read, the deeper the anger in Archie Summers’s eyes grew.
The next section of the report was about the man from last night.
His name was Tristan Grayson. He was a top A-list star with LK Company, the son of its executive chairman, the next heir to the LK Group, and had a net worth in the tens of billions.
The file contained all of Tristan Grayson’s information from the past five years.
Given Tristan Grayson’s high profile, much of his information was easy to find, filling five full pages.
By the time he finished reading, Archie Summers’s brow was knitted in a deep frown.
After the report came copies of newspapers from the past three days.
Every headline was about Tristan Grayson.
[A-List Star’s New Romance Revealed?]
[A-List Star Allegedly Cheating]
[A-List Star Retires from Showbiz for Love]
When his eyes fell on the photos accompanying each headline, he became utterly enraged.
’So, Mika has been with this man all these years.’
"Tristan Grayson, the next heir to the LK Group!"
"LK Group is a titan of domestic industry. How could Miss Summers possibly be involved with someone like that?" Even as he was gathering the information, Howard Rhodes had found it hard to believe that Miss Summers was the Grayson Family’s daughter-in-law.
"Heh... I returned this time intending to establish a foothold here. I never imagined my brother-in-law-in-name would be so powerful. He’d better be as good to Mika as this report makes him out to be, or I’ll cut that ’titan’ down to size."
’From our brief conversation last night, I can tell Tristan Grayson doesn’t love Mika in the slightest.’
’Even though I’m not in the entertainment industry, I know how it works. I’m a hundred percent certain Tristan Grayson is using Mika.’
"Boss, should we go and meet this young master of the Grayson Family?"
Archie Summers shook his head, his face cold. "Finding Mom and Dad is the priority."
"Understood."
...
「LK Group, CEO’s Office.」
"Boss, here is the file on Mr. Archie Summers."
"Good." He’d had everyone in Mika Summers’s family investigated when he married her three years ago.
’They were just an ordinary family running a business, living a comfortable but modest life.’
’Who would have thought things could change so drastically in just three years?’
If Sheldon Rhodes hadn’t called to tell him what happened this morning, he would still be completely in the dark.
"Boss, we received a tip a few days ago that the CEO of X Group in Austerra is Chinese. I heard his surname is also Summers. He secretly returned to the country last night. I wonder if it could be Mr. Archie Summers."
"Find out!"
"Yes, Boss."
After Henry Archer left, Tristan Grayson tossed the file onto his desk.
’The trail on Archie Summers went completely cold two years ago.’
’This made him wonder if X Group, which had exploded in growth over the past two years, was actually Archie Summers’s creation.’
He pulled out his phone and sent a text to that woman.
[Grandma might not make it through the night. What’s the address? I’ll come pick you up.]
