Chapter 11

After the dinner, while the two were eating, Heath's phone rang. He apologized and picked it up. Aurora faintly heard something about the Whitmore family from the phone.

She immediately listened carefully. Heath seemed not to care if she heard anything and said to the other end of the phone, "Have our people pull back; I'm going back now."

Heath hung up, and Aurora tentatively asked, "Are you collaborating with the Whitmore family?"

Heath glanced at her and nodded. Aurora asked again, "The Whitmore family from the United States?"

Heath laughed, "Little girl, you know about the American Whitmore family?"

"I'm an adult now, about to go to college, not little anymore," Aurora retorted.

"Then wait until you're in college to worry about these things. I have something to do, so I have to go back to the company. I'll treat you to hot pot another day," Heath said, standing up to leave.

Aurora panicked. This was her first chance to get close to information about the Whitmore family since her rebirth. She had to find a way to know more, so she blurted out, "Can I visit your company?"

Heath finally focused on her and said, "Let's go."

Aurora quickly followed. When Kieran came to pick up Heath, he was somewhat bewildered to see Aurora getting into the back seat with him. Was the boss interested in a minor?

Kieran looked surprised for a long time until Heath gave him a cold glance. Kieran immediately stepped on the gas.

It wasn't until they were in the hotel elevator that Aurora realized what was happening. Weren't they going to talk about work? Why had they driven to a hotel?

Heath looked at her and said, "I never said we were going to the company office," and then walked into the room.

Aurora stood at the door, bewildered. She knew why Heath had looked at her that way when she suggested visiting. Now she didn't know whether to go in or leave.

Kieran explained, "This is just a branch in Seaview City. The president doesn't need to go there every day. All of Mr. Fairbank's affairs are handled in the hotel. If you don't want to stay here, I can take you back."

A step away from information about the Whitmore family, Aurora gritted her teeth and entered the hotel.

This was Heath's exclusive hotel suite, a two-bedroom apartment. Heath sat on the living room sofa, opened his laptop, glanced at Aurora, and said, "Feel free to look around."

Aurora wandered around the room, pretending to explore while listening to Kieran's report: "President, our people were discovered just outside American territory. They don't seem like Whitmore's people, more like mercenaries. We couldn't find where the goods were hidden. Please punish me!"

"What were the casualties?" Heath asked.

"Two dead, three injured," Kieran replied.

Heath lit a cigarette, angrily threw the documents on the floor, making a loud noise that startled Aurora.

A couple of photos slid out and slid to Aurora's feet. She picked them up and saw what was in the pictures.

They were probably taken by Heath's people during their investigation. It was a dock with containers everywhere and a few dock workers in the frame.

There was no substantial content, so Kieran said they hadn't found where the goods were.

But Aurora knew that whatever goods Heath was looking for were at this dock.

Because among those unnoticeable workers, Aurora saw an old acquaintance, Jasper Bennett, one of the people she had promoted.

According to Jasper's level, he shouldn't have appeared in such a place.

Aurora walked over to Heath, put the photo on the table, and asked, "What are you looking for?"

Heath looked at her and said, "Little girl, don't ask so much."

"Heath, I'm not little. Tell me," Aurora said.

"President..." Kieran wanted to stop her. This kind of secret shouldn't be told to outsiders.

"It's nothing. A batch of goods we wanted was hijacked on the high seas, that's all. We'll find it," Heath said.

The high seas! Olivia knew their previous activity range too well!

It was people from the Abyss Group!

The Whitmore family had used people from the Abyss organization to hijack Heath's goods on the high seas!

"What will happen if you find the people who hijacked the goods?" Aurora asked.

"Miss Aurora, those who rob President Fairbank's goods must pay the price," Kieran said.

Although she already had the answer in her heart, hearing Kieran say it made Aurora clench her fists. Once Heath found those goods, he would immediately eliminate the people who had hijacked them!

But among those people was Jasper Bennett!
