Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 326

Ever since that call, my communication with Neil had dwindled to almost nothing besides necessary interactions.

I didn’t idle about it, though. After settling the Morse family’s folks, I started digging for dirt on FarHorizon Group. If they were into money laundering, they must have some weak spots.

Still, I had no clue when I would stumble upon these weak spots.

“Ms. Finch, your mom wants her phone back now. She wants to chat with some friends. What should I do?” Hannah approached me nervously.

“I’ll invite her friends over for dinner and a chat. Tell her that the doctor advised her to avoid overworking her brain. We’ll return her phone when she’s feeling better, save her from straining her eyes,” I advised Hannah.

Hannah nodded, knowing full well that this was a temporary solution. My mom would grow suspicious eventually.

Armed with some documents from home, I had Bailey drop me off at a gathering.

Ethan Foster orchestrated the party. I knew beforehand that I’d be running into some faces I’d rather not see.

Sure enough, Gloria, Bonnie, and Kate Aaron were present when I arrived. Thankfully, Neil wasn’t.

Gloria was really bold, openly hanging out with Ethan Foster despite being married. She seemed utterly indifferent to the gossip.

“Ms. Finch, you’ve arrived. Please, have a seat,” Gloria greeted me with a phony smile.

I returned the smile and sat down, facing Bonnie.
