“Investigate Kelly’s death. Also, did you manage to find anything regarding the fire at Imperial Hotel?” she asked while tossing the blindfold aside.

“It was indeed the doing of ZZ Organization’s men. They seem to be targeting you and Mr. Nolan, Boss. As for Kelly’s death, I have confirmed that it was caused by a poison from ZZ Organization. It’s possible that the man who pretended to be a police officer had his fingers coated with a colorless and odorless poison. He must’ve taken the antidote beforehand. Kelly died shortly after he got the poison on her body.”

“Why would ZZ Organization go through so much trouble to kill a small-time celebrity? Kelly is a C-list celebrity, right? What could make her worthy of such an assassination by ZZ Organization?” Ashlyn asked in confusion.

“I took a look at Kelly’s house. There were signs of someone rummaging through her stuff, so it’s possible that they were looking for something. I’m not sure what that item is, but we know for a fact that ZZ Organization must’ve wanted it really badly,” Cassandra replied.

“Let Nolan Group take care of the reconstruction of Imperial Hotel. We have to get our revenge on them. Also, I want you to keep a close eye on Dixon and report anything suspicious to me as soon as possible,” Ashlyn said while massaging her aching forehead.

Ugh… I feel terrible… Kelly’s death, Howard’s death, the fire at Imperial Hotel, and Lucas’ illness… Why are all these problems coming one after another? It’s as though the world is trying to pull me under!

After taking a deep breath to pull herself together, Ashlyn asked, “Dixon is going to make a deal at The Peacock tomorrow. Did you manage to find any information on that?”

Realizing that he was finally able to join in on the conversation, Jared said, “It’s a diversion. I think Sienna is going to throw a birthday party for some woman tomorrow.”

Ashlyn’s lips curled into a sneer. “Is that so? Looks like I’ll have to throw a party tomorrow as well!”

“If I recall correctly, tomorrow is also your birthday, right?” Jared asked nervously.
