Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 235

Before I could utter a word, Neil had already left.

I glanced around the relatively clean kitchen and shook my head helplessly.

It was around nine when Harold came back, looking stern and serious. An uneasy feeling crept up on me

“Rena, someone’s pulling strings behind the scenes on your dad’s case, and they’re pretty powerful,” Harold said.

This took me by surprise. I couldn’t imagine my dad having such formidable enemies at work. Weren’t his troubles all manufactured by Bonnie?

Could Bonnie possibly have an even bigger backer?

Or maybe it was Gloria!

“Your dad’s been detained and is under investigation. Proving his innocence will be complicated. I’m worried that this might affect your family’s business, so we need to secure the company first, Harold added

I immediately told him I planned to seek help from my uncles.

Harold agreed with my plan. His own company mainly operated overseas, so he might not be able to provide much help.

For my dad’s sake, Harold would stay in the country for a while. I was immensely grateful for his help. His presence made me feel much safer

Next on the agenda was to find my uncles, I couldn’t handle the company affairs alone.
