Chapter 179

Karl had brought a batch of documents from Davina’s desk to Kieran’s office.

Dylan picked up one of them, his expression turning dangerous. “This is against Simpo Co.! How audacious.”

Payne, intrigued, took the paper from Dylan. His eyes widened as he read.

“What’s this?” Payne handed the document to Julien, “Does it mean this woman wants Kerry to transfer all his shares to her?”

Just as Julien was about to lean in, Hayden grabbed the paper from Payne. After a quick glance, he passed it to Kieran, “If she’s after your company shares, wouldn’t kidnapping your son be more effective than snatching Julie?”

Dylan nodded in agreement, “Kerry has already made Ivan’s identity public, and rumors say Julie gained her status because of her son. This indicates that Julie isn’t highly regarded by Kerry in the eyes of the public, so if they want to blackmail you, kidnapping Ivan would be more useful than taking Julie.

“Unless… Julie was their real target all along!” Julien suggested, pulling Payne’s hand and shoving him onto a chair.

“Check this woman’s background!” Julien ordered.

Payne quickly pulled up Davina’s file. “Kerry, take a look. It’s quite surprising!”

The screen displayed all of Davina’s records.

It clearly stated that Davina’s father, Latham Field, was once a partner of the Abraham Group.

Payne continued, “Padgett Abraham, Julie’s father, had a bad relationship with his adulterous wife, Darcey Abraham. Padgett planned to make some money behind Darcey’s back through some illegal transactions with Latham, which included smuggling. However, Darcey ran away with her lover and the money. Most people who dare to be involved in smuggling are fearless. Knowing the deal might fall through, and he could be silenced by the smugglers, Latham had to embezzle money from the company to cover the shortfall…”

Dylan went on, “But then Darcey died in a car crash, and Padgett suffered a stroke. That escalated things. The police eventually caught Latham.”

Payne pulled up Latham’s records. “Latham’s company got shut down. His wife, Gevena, sent Davina to Veridia National University to keep her, unaffected. Latham couldn’t afford a lawyer. Multiple charges and severe criminal behavior got him a life sentence. He’s still in prison.”

Dylan was staring at the computer screen, his brows furrowing, “But that’s not the point. The key is… The man in Veridia was violent towards Gevena and Davina. If this led to Davina’s twisted mentality…”

“Davina would blame everything on Julie.” Julien’s eyes hardened as she turned to Payne, “Do you have Elliot’s number? Call and check on him!”
