Chapter 160 Chapter 160 Eliana hurried over to help, and together we struggled to lift him into the car.

Talbot was about to bring people over to stop us, but Eliana had already hit the gas and sped away.

"No way, she really had the guts to drug Clyde? Since when is Clyde a sought-after prize? Doesn't look all that appetizing to me." "My wife would know if he's tasty or not!" Clyde, who had been unconscious just moments ago, suddenly woke up, glaring at Eliana with displeasure.

Eliana hit the brakes hard, and our heads bumped together.

I punched Clyde lightly, "She's driving, don't scare her!" Clyde grunted, "If it wasn't for Lisa's lousy idea, I wouldn't have had to pretend to be drunk." "Her dad, Talbot, is crazy, letting his daughter drugfor a video. Does he have a screw loose?" "Was Lisa picked up from a dumpster? Not his real daughter? Doesn't seem like it!" I understood Clyde's point. Even in the toughest situations, slines just shouldn't be crossed, and Talbot definitely went too far.

But he never really cared for Lisa, thinking a marriage alliance for profit was worth more than a simple video; he wouldn't care.

Eliana dropped us off at a hotel her family had ties with before taking off.

And Clyde and I started to debrief today's gains.

It turned out Lisa wanted to bring Geneva along, but Talbot's men were guarding the girl too closely, making it impossible for Lisa to get her out.

"Lisa also mentioned Geneva's phone was being monitored, she didn't dare ask too much." "She just told us to hurry up and divorce, fearing Talbot couldn't wait any longer, otherwise, he wouldn't have had her drug me." Thinking about what Jared had said today madeworried.

Talbot's actions meant he must have had a fallout with Garfield.

First, he restricted his construction projects, and then he moved against the company.

But the two have been entangled for a long time; it wouldn't cto blows so quickly.

If Clyde got involved, Garfield wouldn't dare target both companies.

I shared the investigation's findings with Clyde, who also fell silent.

This issue seemed too complex, far beyond mere personal grievances.

"Do you remember any projects your family had at the time?" "Or did your parents ever mention something to you, maybe about Galen Brown or project-related stuff?" I shook my head, "I'm not clear on the company's affairs, and after het went to Country Aurorea, my mon hardly ever talked toabout home." At that time, I was undergoing surgery, and she probably didn't want to worry me.

Moreover, my cancer was spreading fast, living each day o had no energy to inquire about the family business.

Just thinking about my dad's death, which I couldn't witness made it hard forto breathe.

I walked over to the window and opened it, feeling as gloomy as the weather outside. Clyde licked his lips and didn't ask any more about my family.

My going abroad was a taboo topic for both of us, bringing gilence m whenever mentioned. "Clyde, I'm thinking of letting Jared hang around the Patterson Group for a while." "He toldall this today clearly with an agenda; he must know more." I don't believe he spilled the beans just out of guilt.

Now that I'm here, I'm bound to investigate the past. We've all been in the business for so long; no 1.9 us are fools.

of Clyde nodded. "That's fine, but be careful dealing with these people."
