Chapter 341 A Strong Support
Lauren insisted on driving me back home as I left the Vanderberg Palace. I grabbed a couple of fresh
outfits and asked her to take me to the airport.
During the ride, I made calls to both Ryan and Grayson.
Grayson offered, “I can accompany you, you know. Are you sure you want to go alone?”
“Your mission is more crucial. Finding evidence is the key to victory. I’ll be fine on my own. Trust me, I
earnestly advised Grayson.
The remorse in Ryan’s voice was clear.
I was not worried about the company with Ryan in charge, but he was not good at complicated
relationships. His time abroad had dulled his understanding of complex interpersonal dynamics.
Teasingly, I said to Lauren, “Your ideas are truly classic. Why do I feel like you’re such a smoothoperator?”
She glanced at me and retorted, “Who’s the smooth operator here? You’re just too close to thesituation.
Your brain is leagues ahead of the rest of us.
“In my opinion, you’ve let the company stagnate in the years Matthew ran it. I’m certain that TanumCorporation would’ve been much better off if you managed it the entire time.”
“Well, that’s not necessarily true. Matthew has his own strengths. He prioritizes profit, which issomething I’m not as adept at. Sometimes, I place too much emphasis on loyalty and trust, and I’m notas flexible in

My eyes lit up. “Why not become a shareholder in Tanum Corporation? You can handle publicrelations!”
“Hah. You’re quite the entrepreneur, aren’t you?” She scoffed. “Is this a communal company? You were

chuckled, “Isn’t it a good idea for everyone to work together?”
Alright, sort out the immediate situation first,” She said in concern, “If you need help, don’t hesitate to

“I understand,” I assured her. She had already parked the car at the entrance of the airport terminal.
“All the best!” Lauren said as I got out of the car.
I hurried inside. A few steps later, I stopped and looked at Lauren.
“Could you…find a way to ask about Atlas?” It was difficult to bring up, but I needed to know.
1 know, I know!” Lauren grumbled. “I’m already trying to figure something out. Go! Be safe! Let meknow
when you’ve landed.”
I waved to Lauren with a triumphant smile and boarded the plane to Solaris.
By the time I arrived in Solaris, it was already late evening. I wasted no time in finding the location ofthe
address.
Once I had my bearings, I set up camp nearby. First, I grabbed a bite to eat. Then I went to check outthe address. Surprisingly, it was a quaint cottage. In this area, such houses were becomingincreasingly rare.
Dominic Welsh. I wondered what kind of old man he was.
I spotted a small hair salon across the street and walked in. After inquiring about prices, I decided totreat myself to a hair treatment. The best part was that it took some time, giving me the chance to chata little longer.
The shop owner was a stylish middle–aged woman.
When she heard I wanted a treatment, her face lit up. She knew that this lucrative service.

Her enthusiasm knew no bounds, and she hardly took a breath.
I took the opportunity to quickly ask her about the people in the cottage.
“Hey! Why are you asking about that old fossil? That old couple living in that cottage… They’re quitethe odd pair!”
