Chapter 602
“It’s not quite like that…”
“Enough!”
Nichole stood up, impatiently saying, “I asked you to investigate Sophie’s matter. Have you done it?”
*The executive secretary has looked into it. All that’s known is that Ms. Sophie fell overboard and is missing, presurred dead or alive, and Mr. Burke was also injured.”
Nichole said dissatisfiedly, “Isn’t this all just what’s been on the news? Can’t you guys do a more thorough investigation on the island?”
“Well…” Aisha said with difficulty, “The executive secretary isn’t like Mr. Burke’s close associate, Colt. He doesn’t have access to any information that’s not already online. You should know this as well…”
“Useless!”
Nichole was furious but felt powerless. Though the Freeman family was wealthy, it paled in comparison to the Burke family.
Now that Briggs was not at home, she couldn’t mobilize anyone in the household. She had no choice but to rely on herself!
“Prepare the car for me. I’m going to the Burke family.”
“Miss, you’re going there again…”
Aisha didn’t know whether she should speak up or not. Nichole had been visiting the Burke family frequently these days, which could lead to gossip.
“What? Are you not listening to me anymore? Hurry up!”
“…Yes.”
Aisha left the room.
After getting ready, Nichole took the car to the Burke family’s residence,
The Burke household was in chaos. Bea, hearing that her grandson was injured, was extremely worried and had people out gathering. information every day.
It was already midnight when Marian knocked on Bea’s door, saying, “Madam, Ms. Nichole is here.”
“Nichole? What does she want this time?”
Bea knew Nichole’s visits weren’t out of goodwill, yet she had to play along politely. “Just say I’m not available!”
“Yes, Madam.”
Marian wished Bea wouldn’t have to deal with the troublemaker Nichole, but when Marian turned around, she saw Nichole boldly walking in.
Marian was startled. “Ms. Nichole…”
“I’m here to discuss something important with Bea, but it seems Bea isn’t too welcoming.”
Nichole raised an eyebrow, and Bea, sitting on the bed, quickly put on a kind smile, saying, “How could that be? I was just about to rest and didn’t want you to come for nothing.”
“Do you know that Sophie is still alive?”
“What?”
Bea was stunned. She clearly remembered Colt reporting that Sophie had died at sea.
How could she still be alive?
Once could be luck, but twice? Was Sophie repeating her previous escape plan?
Nichole saw Bea frowning and stepped forward. “Bea, I came to discuss a proposal with you.”
Bea took a deep breath, “What’s your brilliant idea?”
Nichole hinted, “What if something happened to the cruise ship Sophie is on, or if there was a shooting at the dock upon her return, and she happened to be killed…”
