[Chapter 213]
The demise of the Daniels family was an insignificant incident in the international metropolis that was Springfield. Coupled with the deliberate blockade on gossip by the Zimmerman family, only a select few knew the truth about what happened.
East League International's team resumed normal operations, doing their best to help David spend money by investigating and negotiating.
David lost all drowsiness after he was woken up by the calls, so he went directly to East League International's temporary office.
He was going to meet the landlord of this office building this afternoon and try to purchase this building before he headed to the Capital City.
After what happened with the Daniels family, there should not be any more blind fools seeking to trouble East League International.
David planned to visit Clinton again just before he left and ask the man to help him keep a lookout for troublemakers since the latter needed his help. He might as well make the best of this arrangement.
However, almost everyone was out of the office when he arrived. There were only a few ladies i n the financial department working in the office.
David's arrival attracted the attention of these ladies.
They greatly admired such a superior since he was handsome, wealthy, from a powerful background, but not arrogant about it.
The man had only taken a day to solve the long-term issues the company had been facing.
He was too perfect and so, he became their dream man.
"Hello, Mr. Lidell!"
"Hello, Mr. Lidell!"
The ladies immediately stopped working and greeted David when they saw him enter.
All of them wanted to leave a good impression on this young and handsome superior.
"Hello! Thanks for the hard work! Where's everyone else?" David asked, looking around the empty office
"Oh, Mr. Lidell, they're all out to meet with clients. Because of the issue with Prosperity Properties a few days ago, most of our projects were put on hold. Now that Prosperity Properties is no longer obstructing us, all our projects have resumed so everyone's going to be rather busy these days."
"Alright. Thank you for your efforts. Have Miss Pearl bring you guys out on a paid vacation after this wave of work is over. Go anywhere you want, it's on the company!" David said spiritedly.
"Then I'll thank you on behalf of the company, Mr. Lidell!" One of the ladies said happily.
"Oh, right. Is Miss Pearl out as well?" David asked.
"I think Ms. Warner contacted another company that's seeking investors and went to investigate the company this morning!"
"Alright. Don't let me disturb you, I'm just here to look around."
Then, David walked into the general manager's office.
Because this was just a temporary office location, there was no chairman's office for David.
He sat at the office desk and flipped through a few documents. Feeling uninterested, he pulled out his phone and started playing with it.
The high school class group chat seemed rather lively today.
Someone seemed to have tagged him.
David tapped on the group chat to read the messages.
In a quick moment, he finished reading the hundreds of messages.
He felt rather sad.
Apparently, there was a classmate in his high school class who lived quite close to Sarah.
Then, around two to three years ago, Sarah's parents had brought her home. There were rumors that it was because she had depression and tried to kill herself once at school only for her dormmate to find her in time. After this, the schools contacted her parents to fetch her home.
