At the same time, next door.
Daniel turned his head and glanced at Phoebe, who was sitting on the sofa. He turned his gaze back and poured two glasses of red wine before walking over with the wine glasses.
He sat across from her with his slender legs crossed, “How come you suddenly thought about coming here?”
Phoebe took the wine glass and looked around as she said lightly, “I have never been to your place yet so just stopped by.”
Daniel smiled and raised his glass to her in the air.
Phoebe continued, “I met Stella as I was coming up.”
“Oh.”
Phoebe smiled disdainfully, “Clarence is just an illegitimate child. Even if he inherits the Conrad group in the future, it would just be illegitimately conferred. What is she so proud about?”
Hearing this, Daniel pursed his lips and said nothing.
After a while, Phoebe finally came down to business, “I came to ask you to check something that happened about twenty years ago.”
Daniel raised his eyebrows softly and motioned for her to continue.
Phoebe took out a photo from her purse. It was clearly taken from her cellphone and then printed out.
She placed the photo in front of Daniel and pointed her finger at the man next to Charles, “Help me find out what this man did twenty years ago.”
Daniel picked up the photo and glanced at it, “And this man is?”
“He is my father’s younger brother. I would call him Uncle.”
“How come you want to investigate him all of a sudden?”
Phoebe smiled but didn’t respond. She only said, “You don’t need to care about anything else. I only need the complete information about all he did.”
Daniel looked at her, “Since this is your father’s brother, I think it would be way faster to just ask him.”
“I couldn’t find any useful clues from my dad and what he was willing to tell me was limited.” Phoebe said, “I feel that the crisis that the Steward group is going through must be related to the events that happened twenty years ago. As long as I find a clue and know what happened twenty years ago, I will have a way to turn it around.”
Even if it wasn’t related, she would still have been able to create some related information.
Once she could blame the things that were happening to the Steward Group to what happened twenty years ago, then Stella would turn into the best scapegoat and even Clarence wasn’t going to be able to protect her.
Phoebe said, “You have a good relationship with Cameron. You should be able to ask him about something that happened a couple of decades ago.”
He looked at her meaningfully and then put the photo down, “Of course, I can check it but I am afraid the truth might surprise you.”
Phoebe frowned, “What do you mean?”
Daniel smiled, “Nothing.copy right hot novel pub
