Talia furrowed her brow, "What’s the name of that gentleman?" "Sorry, we don’t know either." "Alright, thank you." Talia hung up the phone. She opened the courier package; inside was a very delicate pink gift box, in the shape of a heart. Talia frowned as she opened the gift box; before her eyes appeared a very beautiful diamond necklace, clearly worth quite a lot. Inside the gift box was also a card, which read "Happy Valentine’s Day." Only then did Talia remember that today was Valentine’s Day. That familiar face suddenly invaded her thoughts. She had just run into Adrian Jennings at the restaurant today; could it be him? As soon as this thought emerged, for a moment, her mind went blank, and her fingertips started to feel numb. Quickly, Talia dismissed this thought. When she ran into him at the restaurant today, his gaze looked indifferent and casual, with no expression on his face; he didn’t seem to care at all. Could it be Ethan Grant? Just as she was thinking this. Her phone rang again. She put down the necklace gift box and answered the phone. "Delivery?" Talia was confused again, "I didn’t order delivery." The delivery rider spoke with a hint of amusement, "It must be from your boyfriend; it’s a bouquet of flowers." Talia opened the door helplessly and accepted the flowers from the delivery rider. It was a large bouquet of pink roses. In the middle was a card. It read: "Talia, no lover on Valentine’s Day, but there are girlfriends. Sisters will always love you! — Yvonne Coleman." Soon, Talia received another bouquet of flowers. A bouquet of pink ranunculus, with a card that read: "Friendship forever. — Winter Donovan." Warmth flowed through her heart. She took a picture of the flowers and sent it to her small group chat with her girlfriends. [Thank you, my dears. I received the flowers, and I love them.] Yvonne Coleman: [Which bouquet do you like more?] Talia: [A loaded question, refusing to answer.] Winter Donovan: [I’m curious too.] Talia: [Winter, don’t egg her on.] Yvonne Coleman: [Alright, alright, I’ll let you go. But remember, I’m only satisfied with being either number one in your heart or tied for first with Winter.] Talia: [You both are undoubtedly tied for first.] Talia: [I was so busy today I forgot. I’ll make it up to you with gifts another day.] Yvonne Coleman: [Don’t wait for another day. I’m eyeing that new bag from Chanel.] Talia replied with a "OK" rabbit emoji. Talia: [Winter, what about you?] Winter Donovan: [No rush, I haven’t decided yet.] Talia: [Whenever you decide, let me know anytime.] After putting away the flowers, her peripheral vision caught the diamond necklace gift box again. She searched on the brand’s official website and found that this necklace was a Valentine’s Day special limited edition, priced at 9.99 million yuan, symbolizing lasting love. Who could it be from? No way, he doesn’t know her current address. This property was just recently bought for her by Shawn Rhodes, and apart from her family, only her two best friends know the address. But the store clerk said a gentleman sent it. Talia was utterly puzzled. Moments later, she put the necklace back in the gift box and called the store clerk to inquire about returning and refunding it. She didn’t want the necklace, and wanted the money returned to the gentleman’s account. The clerk said a refund was possible, but the gentleman would have to come to the store himself to process it. If she knew who bought it, would she have needed to call the clerk? But thinking the clerk was just doing their job, she didn’t want to make things difficult for them, said a few words, and hung up. She casually tossed the necklace gift box into the storage cabinet. At Winter Donovan’s villa. Yvonne Coleman was holding the newly acquired bag with great affection. Winter Donovan looked somewhat guilty, "Yvonne, is it really okay for us to do this?" Yvonne Coleman: "It’ll be fine." "As Talia’s best friends, doesn’t this amount to betraying her?" "Oh come on, it’s just giving an address. Adrian Jennings has discretion; he won’t do anything outrageous. No need to worry." Winter Donovan looked concerned, "What if Talia finds out we bought flowers out of guilt? Will she be angry?" "Ahem." Yvonne Coleman coughed awkwardly, "What are you talking about? We weren’t feeling guilty; those flowers were... a symbol of friendship!" "Exactly!" Yvonne Coleman nodded solemnly, trying to deceive herself, "A symbol of friendship!" Winter Donovan: "..." "Yvonne, I remember you said the other day that Talia and Samuel Langdon were meant to be. Why are you supporting Adrian Jennings on Valentine’s Day now?" "Who can blame him for offering more? Anyway, Ryan Quinn said Adrian Jennings had his reasons for breaking up with Talia. Once he sorts things out on his end, he’ll quickly pursue reconciliation again. Let’s trust him this time. Besides, we’ve known him for so long, helping him is not out of line. Don’t you agree?" Winter Donovan: "That almost makes sense." Adrian Jennings’s office. His subordinate Luke Langdon came to report. "Young Master, do you remember that case concerning Matthew Willow that the young lady took on?" Adrian Jennings asked, "I remember. What’s up?" Luke Langdon replied, "The boss at Matthew Willow’s factory, Raymond Lewis, has another boss named Logan Sullivan. I sent you his information earlier." Logan Sullivan, involved in both legal and illegal activities, controls dozens of companies, having unrelated scapegoats act as legal representatives. The companies appear to conduct legitimate business, but secretly engage in criminal activities. Adrian Jennings’s expression turned stern, "Get to the point." Luke Langdon: "Logan Sullivan is working for Vincent Fletcher. We’ve recently discovered Logan Sullivan is laundering money for Vincent Fletcher." Adrian Jennings’s eyes glistened with icy resolve, "Do we have evidence?" Luke Langdon lowered his gaze, "We’ve only acquired partial evidence of Logan Sullivan’s crimes. After laundering money, Logan Sullivan transferred it to an overseas account, the nominal account holder being a scapegoat arranged by Vincent Fletcher. The current evidence can only implicate Logan Sullivan, and Vincent Fletcher’s influence in Veridia is weak, mainly relying on Logan Sullivan and his group. Although we don’t have evidence of Vincent Fletcher’s crimes in Veridia yet, if we can take down Logan Sullivan, we’ll eliminate Vincent Fletcher’s strongest support in Veridia." "Act immediately," Adrian Jennings instructed coldly, "Submit the evidence to the police and assist in the arrest of Logan Sullivan." In early March, Talia’s law firm was finally renovated. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs noⅴelfire.net The place was treated by professionals to remove formaldehyde; after passing inspection, Talia and Samuel Langdon purchased a large batch of office supplies together, including desks, chairs, computers, stationery, and file folders. Besides Samuel Langdon, the firm welcomed another partner, his classmate, Adam Palmer, a lawyer specializing in criminal defense. After Samuel Langdon brought on a partner, he also recruited several lawyers, both newly practicing and experienced, seasoned attorneys.
