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.

Bonnie glanced at me. To my surprise, her gaze wasn’t filled with the usual jealousy and hostility. Instead, she looked calm and smug, like a winner.
