Chapter 1188 Wanda Meets Up with Oliver
“Why did you only recall such an important clue now?” the others jokingly chided him. Kieran ignored them and asked the man one more time, “Are you sure you saw Oliver and the person in charge?”
“Yes. If you don’t believe me, you can get the surveillance footage at the bar and see it for yourself.” I’ll certainly have to do that but not now. Kieran turned to look at the others and inquired, “What about you guys? Have you thought of any clues?”
“No.” They shook their heads, but just then, someone exclaimed, “Hey! Isn’t that Wanda? Is she here to see Oliver? It seems that the political marriage between the Hadfields and the Mullers isn’t just some rumor.”
Hearing that, Kieran squinted his eyes and looked down to find Wanda. That’s interesting. It seems that Wanda is really the one who told Oliver to make things difficult for Timothy.
That was indeed the case. The reason Wanda showed up was that she had agreed to meet up with Oliver at the bar.
Looking at the flippant man in front of her, she started getting impatient because she wasn’t fond of him. The reason she even met up with him was that she still needed his help.
Oliver didn’t realize the repulsion behind Wanda’s eyes. Instead, he passionately poured a glass of wine for her. “Did you just get off work?” He tried to make small talk.
Wanda grunted. Not wanting to beat around the bush, she questioned, “Why do you want to see me?”
“I’ve completed the task you told me to do. Now, those from the Reinhart Group are no longer able to buy the products they want in Southend, and no one will hire them to build a system.” Oliver looked fervently at her. “What do you think? Are you happy with the outcome?”
“You’ve done a great job.” Wanda nodded as she was evidently pleased with the outcome. After all, her purpose was to make the Reinhart Group lose its footing in Southend. It was for that reason that she stopped detesting Oliver. A smile appeared on her originally expressionless face. “Cheers, Mr. Oliver. Thanks for the help.”
“Don’t be overly polite with me, Wanda. Your problems are also mine.” As Oliver spoke, he touched Wanda’s glass-holding hand and ran his thumb on the back of her hand.
Wanda froze as the man’s touch gave her goosebumps. However, she knew that some sacrifice was required if she wanted to make use of him. Therefore, despite feeling disgusted, she never retracted her hand.
Oliver saw her calmness as an opportunity, so his gaze brightened. “Why don’t we go somewhere else after the meal, Wanda?”
“Where are you bringing me?” Wanda frowned slightly. She didn’t want to go anywhere with him, but it wasn’t the right time to turn him down.
Oblivious to her expression, Oliver said feverishly, “It’s somewhere with a nice view that I discovered recently. I’m sure you’ll love it.”
“Is it far away? I have work to do tomorrow, so I have to make sure I’ll get enough rest tonight.” Wanda tried to turn him down.
Oliver had certainly realized her intention, but he pretended not to understand. With a smile, he replied, “Don’t worry. There’s a place for us to stay. If it gets too late, we’ll just spend the night there.”
At this point, Wanda could only nod in agreement. Shortly after that, they were ready to leave.
When Kieran’s friends saw that on the second floor, they started whispering among themselves.
“It seems that we’ll hear some good news from the Hadfields and the Mullers soon.”
“They’re leaving, Kieran. Do we follow them?”
As Kieran watched them leave, he put down his phone and said coldly, “There’s no need for that. Let’s drink.”
After all, he had taken the photos he needed with his phone.
When they were done drinking, Kieran parted ways with his friends. Upon getting into his car, he called his assistant and said, “Look into Oliver’s recent schedule and find out if he has come into contact with the people from these companies.”
