CHAPTER 608: CHAPTER 608: WHO COULD IT BE?

Evelyn Clayton heard this name and felt it was somewhat familiar.

Previously, while at the Sinclair Family, it seemed like Silas Sinclair mentioned it once.

"Gregory Barnes..." Evelyn Clayton’s brows furrowed slightly, "Do you know his background?"

Violet Ford pinched her brow and sighed, "The scary part is this, it’s impossible to probe into this person’s details. I’ve already had people investigate for a long time, everything about him is a blank."

Evelyn Clayton pondered for a moment and said, "Let me handle this matter, I’ll ask about it when the time comes."

"Okay - but how long do you plan to stay in Riversend this time? You’re not going back to Aethelburg, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Evelyn Clayton’s expression slightly froze, "I have to go back. But my time is quite free, so I won’t be going back immediately."

Violet Ford slightly loosened in surprise, "But what about Gem when you go back?"

Evelyn Clayton’s spirit slightly lifted, "This is also what I need to discuss this time. I fear that all future matters will have to be fully handled by Yara Reagan. To prevent anything from happening, I will only serve as the company’s legal person, and I’ll transfer some shares to Yara."

As she spoke, Evelyn Clayton looked at Yara Reagan, her eyes filled with apology, "In the future, you may have to worry more about Gem."

"What are you saying?" Yara Reagan suddenly felt like crying, holding back her tears, "This company was founded by us together with Sister Violet, of course, I’ll take full responsibility."

Yara Reagan gazed at Evelyn Clayton, with an indescribable worry and fear in her heart.

She always felt that Evelyn Clayton was about to embark on an irrevocable path.

Everything happening now seemed like a farewell.

"That’s good." Evelyn Clayton smiled gently, teasingly, "Perhaps someday you’ll have to earn money to support me."

Yara Reagan’s eyes reddened, she let out a laugh, "Then you better listen to me, tell me everything, don’t make decisions on your own anymore, okay?"

"Okay." Evelyn Clayton’s voice was slightly hoarse.

Violet Ford also felt her nose sting, forcing a smile, "Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore, Evelyn has returned safely, we should gather together? Don’t worry, we’ll do it quietly, let’s go to my place and have a drink?"

"You go ahead, I have some matters to deal with." Evelyn Clayton glanced at her phone, "In a little while, I might need you two to help me meet someone secretly."

Yara Reagan instinctively asked, "Meet who?"

"Officer Young."

Half an hour later.

Under the cover of Yara Reagan and Violet Ford, Evelyn Clayton exited the building and got into a car to meet with Gene Young.

On the road, suddenly thinking of something, Evelyn Clayton looked at Rhys Jacobs beside her, and asked solemnly, "Where is Soren Foster now?"

Before Rhys Jacobs could speak, Violet Ford said, "I took it upon myself to bring Soren Foster to The Ford Family."

Evelyn Clayton was slightly surprised, "Has he been kept at your place all along?"

This counted as house arrest...

"Kept? What do you mean kept?" Violet Ford scoffed slightly, "He’s staying at The Ford Family willingly. Since you got into trouble, the rumors outside about your being harmed and deceased have been rampant. Franklin and I exerted great effort to suppress them, but those in the same circle somewhat know the inside story. That includes Soren Foster, rather than going out, he might as well stay quietly at The Ford Family, where Frank and I can keep an eye on him and protect his life."

Evelyn Clayton nodded, not saying anything.

But somehow, Evelyn Clayton suddenly remembered her meeting with Lars Alden, and the two phone calls she received before the car accident.

Both calls were clearly made by the same person, and obviously, didn’t want anyone to know their identity.

Who could that person be?

Evelyn Clayton’s gaze darkened, flashing back to the last scene with Soren Foster.
