Chapter 1122: Chapter 1094: So That’s How It Is (Monthly Pass 2200+ More) Chapter 1122: Chapter 1094: So That’s How It Is (Monthly Pass 2200+ More) Kiara sensed that Lady Aurora Dell wasn’t visiting just for the itinerary or for a vacation like she had said.
Who goes on vacation dressed in a lab coat, immersed in the lab? It’s obvious she was rushing a project; otherwise, why would Lady Aurora Dell choose to meet Kiara at her workplace, instead of formally meeting somewhere else? And thinking back to yesterday, she only invited Kiara over late at night, which clearly indicated that she was busy working during the day.
Kiara rarely concerned herself with her patients’ family situations, but Lady Aurora Dell’s attitude gave Kiara a vague feeling that there was more to the story. Mrs. Kiara disliked being kept in the dark and even more, being used as a pawn, so while she outwardly agreed with Lady Aurora Dell, she secretly started her own investigation.
It was most convenient to have Zoel Cohen or elder Brother investigate these business insider matters.
“Can you figure it out in one day?” Kiara asked.
After hearing this, Zoel Cohen showed a very strange expression.
“You need to tell me first, why do you want to investigate this?”
“For work — what, is it difficult for you?” Kiara had never seen Zoel Cohen with such a strange expression before.
“It’s not difficult; you don’t need to investigate, I can tell you now. The Lee Clan couple are extremely filial to the elder, the Lee Clan is known for its respect for elders, and the couple’s relationship is quite good. The wife is an authority in the domestic biopharmaceutical field; the husband is focused on business, making it a Confucian merchant family, where husband and wife respect each other. The Lee Clan has two sons but no dispute over the inheritance; currently, both sons are studying overseas. The inheritance rights have been determined, the elder son inherits the family business, and the younger gets shares, there’s no controversy over the inheritance rights.”
Huh…?!
How does Zoel Cohen know all these details so certainly?
“You don’t have some connection with this Lee Clan, do you?”
Zoel Cohen shrugged, “Lady Aurora Dell’s original name is Zinny Wong; my mother is Pritta Wong. What do you think our relationship is?”
Lady Aurora Dell is Zoel Cohen’s aunt?!
Kiara’s eyes widened; what a coincidence!
That is to say, she went to the nephew’s place to investigate his aunt?
“No wonder… I was wondering why Camden had such a strange look on his face when he saw Lady Aurora Dell yesterday, it turns out…”
If Zoel Cohen’s aunt is Lady Aurora Dell, then Mario Yuno must have seen her years ago, and since Camden has a photographic memory, he should remember her if he’s seen her before.
Probably, if it hadn’t been for Baron yesterday, Mario Yuno would have mentioned this to Kiara, but meeting an old acquaintance must have stirred a mix of emotions, so he didn’t get into these details with Kiara.
“Emma Clark, why did you suddenly think to ask me about my aunt’s family affairs?”
Since she was related to Zoel Cohen, Kiara didn’t keep secrets anymore and shared her confusion with him.
“…That’s the situation, I find it quite strange why your aunt didn’t tell me the truth and instead went about it in a roundabout, dishonest way. I’m worried there might be some unsettled inheritance issues in their family that they’re trying to drag me into, which is why I wanted you to check.”
Kiara didn’t keep anything from Zoel Cohen, explaining the whole situation from beginning to end.
“`
Zoel Cohen’s expression grew serious when he heard this, and his accompanying squinting eyes still looked a bit amusing with the panda eye mask.
“I’ll just tell you the truth, this matter is actually quite complicated. It involves issues of security, and from my personal perspective, I hope you can cure the Old Father Jackson. The reason I asked to see you today is to discuss this matter.”
“What?”
Kiara sat up straight, putting down her coffee cup when she heard the gravity of his words.
Just a simple case of health anxiety, how could it possibly escalate to such a serious issue?
“My aunt is nearly 60 this year, and my two male cousins have just started university. This all happened because my aunt was so focused on her research that she married late and had children late. She met my uncle because her family’s Old Father Jackson was her mentor. Old Father Jackson was incredibly talented, having worked overseas on research before coming back. You see how he’s all over the place now, but back in the day, he was quite a formidable figure.”
“So, your aunt and Old Father Jackson are not only in-laws but also mentor and student?” Kiara hadn’t realized there was this connection.
“Yes.”
“But how does this relate to security issues? Why do you want me to cure Old Father Jackson?”
Money really isn’t easy to earn, oh! She thought she had landed a lucrative opportunity, but instead, she found herself wrapped up in a huge mess!
Kiara’s relationship with Zoel Cohen was anything but ordinary. They were neither spouses nor lovers, but their alliance was much stronger than that of ordinary friends. Over the years, Zoel had been profoundly influenced by Kiara, and although he hadn’t followed the path of his previous life, he had prospered.
And Kiara had come to regard Zoel as family, turning to him whenever she needed assistance.
Because they knew each other so well, Zoel shared everything with her without reservation, including matters that should have been kept secret, which he did not hide from Kiara.
“This matter is somewhat related to me, which is why I know a bit about it. What you think about my aunt and Old Father Jackson — it’s not a family feud. Old Father Jackson is holding onto something in their field of biology. I don’t know how to describe those things to you properly, but if used rightly, it could benefit the nation and the people. But if altered haphazardly… you know, what can save lives can also harm them.”
Kiara caught on immediately, “Could it be that foreign powers are trying to steal this thing?”
Zoel nodded, “That’s why I came here, it’s related to this. My father’s intention is for my aunt to hand it over. It’s not quite appropriate for him to come forward, so he sent me to test the waters first. According to my investigation, my aunt and my uncle are planning to hand it over. Holding onto it is too hot for them to handle, and handing it over could not only secure them preferential policies but also immortal fame. But the problem lies with Old Father Jackson.”
“What’s Old Father Jackson’s attitude?”
“He’s feigning madness and stupidity, being uncooperative. Whenever we bring it up, he acts like he’s in agony, saying that today he has cancer and tomorrow he might die–just refusing to hand it over. Those things are my aunt’s and Old Father Jackson’s, as well as other researchers’ life’s work. In the end, Old Father Jackson secretly kept it to himself, and we have no clue what he wants to do with it. My aunt was initially worried that Old Father Jackson was deliberately delaying by feigning illness, but after consulting many doctors, it turns out Old Father Jackson is indeed ill–Emma Clark, is he sick?”
“He is sick, my diagnosis wouldn’t be wrong.”
It’s just one misfortune after another–Old Father Jackson is genuinely ill, and at the same time, my aunt is urgently trying to hand over the object before a certain deadline, while Old Father Jackson stubbornly refuses, leading to the scene of offering Kiara a significant sum to intervene.
“I originally wanted to ask you to treat Old Father Jackson. I didn’t expect my aunt’s family to have reached out to you first. It’s quite the coincidence.”
Zoel had come this time partly to represent his father’s position and partly to seek Kiara’s help. Unexpectedly, by coincidence, Kiara had already been approached for the job thanks to the Stone Family’s recommendation.
