Chapter 73 Investigating the Truth Behind Mr. Davis Sr.'s Death Abroad.
"Check again," Kelvin spoke up. "Be discreet, don't let anyone find out." Having given these instructions, Ryan responded promptly, "Okay, I'll start working on it immediately." Kelvin waved his hand and leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes to relax. Suddenly, the phone on his desk rang. He picked up the receiver. "What is it?" "Mr. Davis, Nathan from the Smiths wants to see you. He is waiting at the front desk." "Let him cin." "Alright, Mr. Davis." Five minutes later, Nathan entered. He was casually dressed, with his hands in his pockets, looking relaxed. He didn't look like the loser, crushed in the acquisition.
Kelvin sneered, "You lost completely but still manage to put on a carefree appearance." "From a business perspective, I lost to you, as I was dismissed and ousted by the board. Now, I can only take a temporary break abroad and use this opportunity to pursue my own interests," explained Nathan.
Kelvin retorted, " And in what way do you think you outdid me?" "Emotionally." Nathan replied, Kelvin's cold smirk intensifying.

Kelvin slammed his hand on the table, "We're husband and wife!" "But you don't have her heart. Besides, you were late to the game. When I met Penelope, you had no connection with her whatsoever." "Nathan, she is my wife now, and you have no connection to her," Kelvin countered.
Nathan laughed, "I can win back her heart." "Bluffing," Kelvin glanced at the clock, "You have two hours until your flight takes off. For someone who's leaving LA, you still dares to think that they can win back Penelope? How laughable." "When I return home," Nathan said, "I will win her back." Nathan was determined to unveil the truth about Mr. Davis Sr.'s death and to meet the other heir of the Davis family. He believed that the day the truth was revealed would mark Penelope's liberation. Nathan thought this held more significance than remaining at Smith and taking over the family business.
The last the went abroad, he disappointed Penelope by not being there for her. This thowever, he was determined to make it up to her.
Kelvin exuded strong hostility saying; "Penelope is mine in life and in death!" "I believe you have the means to ensure she never leaves you in her lifetime," Nathan said, "but Kelvin, truly holding onto someone requires more than just methods; it demands sincerity." "Get out!" Nathan smiled faintly and stood up to leave. As he closed the door, he heard the sound of things being thrown inside. Kelvin was furious, tossing everything off the table and onto the floor.
Sincerity? Yes, that was the one thing that Nathan possessed and Kevin lacked. That was his win.
But Penelope didn't deserve his sincerity! She was an enemy's daughter, carrying someone else's child in her belly. When the twas right, he would make her get rid of that child! Even if Penelope wished for death, he would snatch her from the clutches of Yama, the King of Hell. If he didn't want her to die, she couldn't die.
Meanwhile, by the window of the Jewelry Department, Penelope stood quietly, watching Nathan's figure downstairs recede. She didn't dare see him off, afraid that Kelvin would find out, and could only watch.
The Davis Group acquired Pearl Wet, and Nathan faced strong opposition from shareholders and directors. Mr. Smith asked him to go abroad and return once things settled down.
Externally, Nathan claimed he was traveling for relaxation. Only Penelope knew that he went to help her uncover the truth.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMonica approached and asked, "What are you looking at, Penelope?" "Nothing." She shook her head, "Just lost in thought for a moment." "There's a celebration banquet tonight, do you want to go? You are a great contributor to "Adoring Cupid" after all." "I..." Penelope hesitated, but Monica urged, "Go, go, they are all colleagues from the department. You don't have to worry about Kelvin. Timothy will handle it." "Alright." She nodded and smiled, "Everyone worked hard to ensure the successful launch and sale of "Adoring Cupid" collection." "You're the one who had it hard the most, being the chief designer and carrying a baby. Eat more tonight and don't neglect my godson." "How do you know it's a son?" Monica pouted, "Boys or girls, it doesn't matter, just a casual remark." Penelope laughed, her eyes curved, "You've always liked children. How about having one yourself?" Monica almost choked on her saliva, "Cough, cough, cough!" "I think," Penelope whispered in her ear, "Mr. Foster would be a good choice." "What a joke!" Monica almost jumped up excitedly.
Her loud response attracted the attention of colleagues. Penelope quickly hushed her, saying, "Stay calm, stay calm." "Don't teaselike that. I... Timothy and I are just buddies." Penelope blinked innocently, "I didn't play matchmaker for you. I just said Mr. Foster is a decent person. Maybe you're overthinking it?" "Fine, now you're making fun of me."
"No, I'm serious." Penelope replied, "Think about it, Mr. Foster is young, promising, handsorge anhumorous. He has an outstanding personality and abilities. Literally a diamond right in front of you. Don't miss out." "Shh, he's a playboy, and who knows how many romantic debts he has." Monica always felt that Timothy was a smooth talker, and couldn't help but make fun of him.
As they discussed, Monica voiced her strong disapproval of the idea of going to a hotel, viewing it as the behavior of a two-timing scumbag. She would definitely keep her distance from this kind of men.
"You may have misunderstood," Penelope tried explaining, "Mr. Foster, he..." Monica abruptly interrupted saying, Alright, alright, stop defending him. I won't have anything to do with him! Dress up nicely tonight, let's take sbeautiful pictures together." "Alright."
In an effort to ensure everyone's attendance at the upcoming celebration banquet Timothy m purposely left work earlier, drawing envy from other departments. Monica then dragged Penelope to the mall to go shopping for new clothes. "Don't worry about the money," Monica reassured. "Consider it aslending it to you. You can payback when you receive your bonus. "Adoring Cupid's" sales are on fire, so next month you'll be a rich lady." In the afternoon, there was a Rolls-Royce parked by the roadside, with the car window slightly rolled down. Kelvin held a cigarette between his fingertips, his profile almost perfect.
"Mr. Davis, you don't have to wait," Ryan said as he stood outside, "Mrs. Davis is attending the celebration banquet tonight, so..." He pursed his lips and flicked the cigarette butt away. In his private time, Penelope's absence suddenly made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
