Matt checked his phone after receiving the email... He read,
"Hailey Hillson? Age, 24 and from Sydney, Australia?"
Rodney nodded at Matt. He explained further, "You have wider connections than me. My aunt wanted to dig up something about this girl."
"Why?" Matt asked curiously. His eyes look at the photo Rodney attached to the email.
"She is my cousin's girlfriend."
"Girlfriend? Why did your aunt worry a lot?"
"Well, Vincent was in an arranged marriage because of his mom. But after almost three years married to his nominal wife, it's the first time my cousin had an interest in a woman."
"Oh… Is your cousin gay?" Matt had a grin on his mouth when he said this.
"Shut up! I know he isn't!" Rodney snaps at the guy. Indeed, people thought that, but he knew Vincent didn't have a problem with his gender orientation.
"But he had never taken an interest in a woman, as you said. So how about his nominal wife?"
"They have nothing to do with each other. His wife is happier to receive her allowance than seeing my cousin."
"Oh…"
"Don't get me wrong, my cousin. I think he just had a strong sense of self-control. Besides, he was also very picky with women. He actually doesn't like flirty or loud girls."
"Really? But now he has a mistress, huh?"
"Well…" Rodney only shrugged and didn't explain further.
He just wanted to get any information so that her aunt would stop disturbing his single happy life. It was weird to be involved with couples' problems or whatever, and he just wanted to enjoy his life!
"Alright. I have the perfect person to ask for information," Matt finally accepted the job.
"Great! Can I get it sooner?"
"Sure!" Matt stood on his feet and saluted at Rodney before disappearing at the door.

EMPIRE DRAGON HOTEL
Matt knocked on the door and waited for a moment. After hearing a sound indicating that the person inside unlocked it through his phone, he pushes the door open and steps inside.
"Hey…." Matt trailed his voice when he found the Chairman wasn't alone in his office.
"Brother Matt, hi!"
"Hello, Missy! I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here. I should have waited for the secretary to come back and have my queries." Matt apologized to the beautiful woman sitting on the Chairman's lap.
"It's okay, brother Matt! My coming here is a surprise for Quinn."
Matt glanced at the Chairman. He studied Shun's face, and he didn't see any trace of irritation at his sudden appearance. Instead, all he could notice were the sparks in his eyes.
He had guessed that something had happened, and it was wonderful, and Matt was correct.
"Brother Matt, please tell aunt Kaye and uncle Andrew to come for dinner," Cassie said.
"Oh. Am I missing someone's birthday?" Matt tried to rake his head, but he didn't remember someone celebrating a natal day.
Cassie replied with a big smile on her face, "Well… It was just an announcement we wanted to share with our closest friends and family."
"Oh. I look forward to it already!"
Cassie smiled at Matt, then returned her attention toward her husband. She said, "I gotta go now to visit the supermarket."
"Hmm... But don't work up too much. Let the bodyguards carry everything." Nodding his head, Shun reminded his wife.
"I will…" Cassie leaned over and kissed her husband before she got up from his lap and headed to the secret elevator inside the office.
Now that Cassie had left, Shun waved at Matt and offered the couch across from him.
"So… Do you have a report for me?"
"Nothing yet, brother Shun. My men are still trying to locate the Huo cousins. But I have something here…" Matt waved a black folder in his hand before he placed it on the coffee table. "One of our mafia lords is seeking help to get information about this girl."
Shun Williams Crow, Chairman of Crow Corporation, at the same time the Mafia Emperor, picked up the folder and started scanning the document inside.
Matt waited for the Chairman to throw some questions, but Shun remained silent for a long moment before he spoke.
He asked, "Why did they want this girl's information?"
"Rodney Lopez told me she is his cousin's girlfriend," Matt quickly replied to Shun.
"He had many cousins, right?"
"Ah! Vincent Shen…" Matt didn't mutter further when the Chairman raised one brow.
"Really?"
Matt nodded, unable to open his mouth again. A long time has passed, and the Chairman hasn't given out an order. Matt could feel that beads of sweat had formed on his forehead.
"Alright. You know what to do…."
Finally, Matt breathed out. "Okay. I will work on it right away."
Matt got up from the couch and was ready to leave when Shunn added.
"By the way, Matt… I want you to keep an eye on them."
"Copy, boss!" Matt lifted his right hand and placed it on his forehead; he saluted at Shun.
Matt was about to pull the door handle when he realized something.
"Brother Shun, is Missy pregnant again?"
Matt noticed how Shun reminded Cassie, which only meant one thing. Then, Matt saw a smile appear on Shun's face. 'That was it!' A baby is on the way!
"Congratulations, brother Shun!"
"Thanks. Don't tell anyone yet, especially Daichi." Shun specifically mentioned Daichi because that guy couldn't hold a secret that long.
"I know." Matt saluted once again before he closed the door.
Now that he was left alone, Shun picked up his phone on the table and dialed a particular contact.
"Hello, Isabella?"

Meanwhile, at Mainland City Hospital.
Fraine woke up too early in the morning to prepare for her check-up and treatment. Jasmine had already drawn out another blood sample from her veins to compare it with last night's results.
She was finishing her breakfast when the door in her ward was pushed open by a handsome doctor.
"Good morning, Miss Fraine!"
"Good morning, Doctor Ben." Fraine greeted her Internal Medicine physician. Then she noticed that someone had followed him behind.
"Hello, Miss Fraine."
"Hi, doctor…" Fraine glanced at the female doctor's coat and read her name. "Doctor Yonah Ryan," which was embroidered on her lab coat.
'Is she Doctor Ben's wife?' She knew Doctor Ben was married but hadn't met his wife yet.
"My name is Doctor Yonah Ryan. I am a gynecologist. You possibly wondered why I was here. Doctor Derek Williams will explain everything to you later. So, I wanted to meet you."
"About what?" Fraine was utterly puzzled by what was going on. She looks at Doctor Ben for an answer.
"Miss Fraine, Doctor Derek, is almost complete with the new medicine he created. Doctor Derek wanted to see if the medication could affect fertility. And so, we would like to monitor your fertility rates."
Fraine was still significantly lost in everything that was happening at the moment. But she could only nod her head as she signed up for this.
She can't raise a protest or complaint for anything that these doctors see fit for her use for an experiment.
Besides, all the doctors she met and who handled her illness were friendly. They haven't done things so far but are giving her priority care and free medication, which she could never afford.
"Okay…" Fraine smiled nervously, silently praying for better results in the near future.
