At Sinclair Group headquarters, Malcolm found faults with the
information department overseen by Emmanuel. The entire department was required to work overtime until the last day of the company holiday.
Everyone in the company knew that Emmanuel, who had just been transferred back to Sinclair Group headquarters, had probably offended Malcolm and was being targeted everywhere.
Even though they felt sympathy for Emmanuel, nobody dared to speak up for him.
Emmanuel remained calm. Even though Malcolm had deliberately targeted him, he didn’t get angry. Instead, he put all the documents back in order.
On the last day of the holiday, Sinclair Group invited all employees to dinner at the hotel and booked the entire hall. The day featured a year- end review and a lucky draw, creating a lively atmosphere.
Malcolm, as the head of the company, naturally attended the event. Alaric also attended the annual party as one of the board members.
Tabitha did not follow them out because she was in poor health.
The rains intensified and the temperatures dropped day by day as the year drew to a close.
Tabitha sat in the sand chair, gazing at the world outsitle the floor–to- ceiling window, blurred by the rain, but her heart felt as if it were on fire.
Ever since Emmanuel mentioned the drunkard, Tabitha immediately asked Trevor to investigate.
However, they couldn’t replace out who the drunkard was for days. Trevor told her not to worry. He planned to wait at Four Seasons Bar for a few

more days and was confident that he would replace the drunkard.
Just as Tabitha was in a daze, her phone rang. She answered almost immediately, “Hello…”

“It’s me.” A gentle and clear voice came from the other end of her phone, which was deliberately lowered as if the person was afraid that someone would hear him.
Tabitha was stunned before she asked, “Emmanuel? Why are you calling?”
“I’m in Abundance Resto,” Emmanuel said, suppressing his voice. He then continued, “I saw the drunkard again. This time I’ve found out that he is indeed from Heaventown. His name is Lowe.”
It turned out that the man didn’t go to Four Seasons Bar anymore. No wonder Trevor had not seen him.
Tabitha’s heart suddenly pounded as she questioned, “Isn’t the company holding its annual party now? Why are you…”
“No time to explain now. Don’t hang up later. Listen carefully and see if you can hear the information you want,” Emmanuel said.
Before Tabitha could ask clearly, a rustling sound came from the other end of the phone. Tabitha guessed that Emmanuel must have put the phone in his pocket.
Tabitha almost held her breath when she heard a strange man’s voice on the phone, “Come on, Mr. Sinclair. Have another drink. Great! Mr. Sinclair, you’re a good drinker!”
After a while, Tabitha heard Emmanuel’s voice encouraging someone to drink by saying, “Mr. Lowe, have another drink. By the way, I heard you mention that Giuseppe killed two people. What’s the story behind that?”
Henry’s voice was a little hoarse, and he was obviously quite drunk, but

Tabitha could still hear him clearly.

He replied, “It was all because of that crap about women. Anyway, that girl named Naomi had a lot of nerve…” He lowered his voice and continued, “I heard one of Giuseppe’s wives was pregnant… Abortion… Naomi didn’t want to hand over the video… That was why she was chased by Giuseppe…”
Perhaps Emmanuel had put the phone in his pocket, and Henry was speaking too low for Tabitha to hear the conversation clearly.
However, Tabitha did get a crucial piece of information. Giuseppe had been under Naomi’s influence, and that was why he had wanted to capture her. His willingness to intervene and keep her out of jail after the incident was most likely due to her influence.
Tabitha’s heart was beating faster, hoping that Emmanuel would be able to elicit more information.
Emmanuel’s voice came intermittently, “Mr. Lowe… What happened after Giuseppe returned to the country…”
Henry said, “I heard he has been looking for that woman everywhere. I guess he still doesn’t want to spare her.”
Emmanuel asked again, “What exactly did she capture in her video?”
Henry said in a slurred voice, “Who knows? Come on, Emmanuel, have
another drink…”
The voice on the phone gradually became more chaotic and distant. No useful information could be discerned anymore.
But Tabitha felt her heart slightly warm.
Anyway, Emmanuel had helped her replace out some important information. today.
She hadn’t hung up the phone, waiting for Emmanuel to hang up first.

After a while, Tabitha heard a clear and hoarse voice, “Tabitha, are you still there?”
Tabitha hurriedly replied, “I’m here.”
“Mr. Lowe is too drunk. I can’t ask for more information,” Emmanuel said.
“You’ve got enough information. Thank you,” Tabitha said.
Tabitha thanked Emmanuel even though she was always on guard against him.
Emmanuel smiled gently and said, “You’re welcome. It’s just a matter of a few extra drinks.”
“What is Mr. Lowe’s full name? Can you tell me?” she asked again.
She planned to have Trevor look into that guy.
Emmanuel disagreed with her plan. He said, “Mr. Lowe is not a simple man. I’ll probe again when I replace a chance. You are just a girl…”
Before he could finish his words, Tabitha suddenly heard someone barking on the other side of the phone, “Emmanuel? It’s really you. You put on airs now, and I almost didn’t recognize you. You live a good life now after you got your own father into prison.”
Emmanuel’s face darkened as he said, “John?”
“Since you recognize me, repay the money your father owes me first,” John Stevens said, holding a cigarette in his mouth and looking somewhat fierce.
“You must have made a lot of money coming to places like Abundance Resto…” John said.
“Get lost!” he snarled. There was deep disgust in Emmanuel’s gaze.
