Shae hastily instructed her subordinates to bring the painting and open it for Uncle's inspection.

After scrutinizing it, Clifford said in a deep voice, "That's right. This is my previous collection, the one that I recently gifted to the Chief Military Governor."

I've kept it for many years and hung it in my study. I can't be wrong because I looked at it every day and am aware of its tiny details."

Shae couldn't believe her ears and said stammeringly, "Since it's your gift to the Chief Military Governor, why did it appear somewhere else?"

Worriedly, Clifford snapped, "Where did you get this painting from?"

Shae answered honestly, "I got it from the Ghost Auction House!"

Clifford furrowed his brows and explained, “Well, it's possible that someone stole it because the staff in the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor didn't take good care of it. It could also be that someone from the inside secretly sold it for money."

Shocked and furious, she exclaimed, "This is outrageous! Uncle, we should inform the Chief Military Governor about it. Let him punish the parasites himself."

Much to her surprise, Clifford shook his head and replied, "This is not a good idea!"

Shae was shocked once again. "Why?"

Clifford explained, "You said that there are parasites in the Headquarters of the Chief

Military Governor.

"But have you ever thought that the parasites who work there are all subordinates of the Chief Military Governor?

"If the scandal about some parasites working for the Chief Military Governor was spread, wouldn't he feel ashamed of it?"

Shae nodded in agreement. "You're right. In that case, what should we do?"

Clifford suggested, "Well, I think we should send the painting back to the Chief Military Governor. He is smart and will instantly know what is going on once he sees the painting.

"However, we can't send the painting back to the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor through the proper channel. Otherwise, we would alert the parasites even before the Chief

Military Governor could see the painting."

Shae asked, "Well, how should we send it back to the Chief Military Governor?"

Clifford thought for a while and said,

"If my memory serves me right, tomorrow is the fortieth birthday of Sage Tomlinson, the office manager in the governor's office.

"You can bring this painting along and hand it over to General Tomlinson yourself.

“General Tomlinson is a prominent figure in the office and the right-hand man of the Chief Military Governor.

"He is loyal to the Chief Military

Governor. Once he receives the

painting, he will definitely know what

transpired and return it to the Chief

Military Governor. With that, he will also punish the parasites who secretly sold the painting."

Zero's eyes glimmered as though she was enlightened. "Uncle's plan is meticulous. I'll do as you said tomorrow."

Clifford reminded her smilingly, "Since you just graduated from overseas, I'm sure you're not familiar with many prominent figures in Brimmopolis yet.

"Since tomorrow is General Tomlinson's birthday, you can grab the chance to show your face in the upper-class society.

"Who knows if General Tomlinson

might inform the Chief Military Governor about your good looks

charm? mean, you would be the d

most prominent figure in no time if

the Chief Military Governor is fond of you."

Although Shae was excited about it, she pretended to behaved demurely and said, "Uncle, please don't tease me."

Clifford immediately refuted, "I'm not teasing you.

"If you can be the Chief Military Governor's wife, even the Davier family will have to count on you to assist us in the future."

Shae was thrilled at the prospect of becoming the Chief Military Governor's wife.

Nheless, she wasn't aware that at this very moment, Chief Military Governor Nathan and his wife Penny were about to go to bed.

Penny rested her head against Nathan's arm and snuggled beside him to chat with him before they slept.

She asked Nathan softly, "Hubby, you promised Mr. Windsor to hand over Huck's panting to him tomorrow. Are you sure you can fulfill your promise?

Nathan reassured her smilingly, "No worries. The painting will definitely return to my hands tomorrow."

Unconvinced, Penny replied with reservations, Alright, I shall wait and see."
