    Chapter 235 A Stroke of Luck


    I had an idea and casually remarked, “It seems that Matthew’s luck knows no bounds!”


    “Absolutely! Otherwise, he’d be in a tough spot. He mentioned during the meeting that he’s focusing on


    projects outside the city to avoidpetition. Now he’s busy preparing for it.”


    “I heard his mom isn’t doing well,” I said casually.


    “Yeah, not too good.” Johnson nodded.


    After some small talk, I left the restaurant. My mind was filled with thoughts about Grace. Maybe I had


    been too stern and shouldn’t harbor ill feelings. However, there wasn’t a single Murphy worthy of pity.

    Back at the office, I summoned Grayson. ‘Look into who Matthew contacted after he was attacked.


    Also, find out whichpanies are handling projects in Muborough.”


    Grayson nodded. “Is there anything wrong?”


    I replied, “Matthew secured a contract in Muborough while in the hospital. Find out how he got it,


    especially who he interacted with during his hospitalization. He went on a business trip right after being


    discharged and returned with the contract,”


    Grayson nodded in understanding.


    The reason I was interested in Matthew’s contract wasn’t because I wanted to snatch the project. It was


    because I sensed something was amiss.


    It seemed unusual that he could secure a contract while in the hospital. His words about not being able


    topete with “them” intrigued me. I wanted to know who “they” were and their connection with him.


    The incident where someone tried to harm me in the past still bothered me, and I wanted to know why.


    “Any new developments on Ste’s end?” I asked.


    Grayson shook his head. “No trace. I can’t crack it.”


    “And what about the delivery guy?” I asked Grayson.


    I


    I had been monitoring ATL Empire’s activities regarding that matter, but it seemed to have faded away,


    and nobody was talking about it anymore.


    However, I wasn’t willing to let it go because arge batch of windows couldn’t just disappear without a


    trace.

    The affair between As and Harmony was still escting. ording to the rumors, they had already


    been in contact a month ago, before Christmas.


    Some even said that Harmony went to Nocturnia because of this and spent Christmas with As. In


    any case, various spections began.


    I doubted the rumor about Harmony going to Nocturnia, especially since it was so close to the


    anniversary of As’s parents‘ passing. It didn’t seem likely that he would bring a woman to spend


    Christmas with him then.


    I remembered As telling me to trust him no matter what happened. I couldn’t help but chuckle at that


    ving tofort thought. Why was I still thinking about those words now? What was the point? Was I


    trying


    myself?


    I recalled the day at the hot spring resort when I had seen As and Harmony together. There was no


    reason for me to seekfort now.


    Watching them enter the luxurious room, a man and a woman alone…


    I threw the phone hard on the table, turned around, and left the office. I went to see Ryan.


    Ryan set aside what he was working on and walked over. “Should I have them bring you a ss of


    water?”


    “No need. I had some water in my office just now,” I said as I sat on the sofa. “Ryan, I have an idea.


    What do you think about bringing your parents over for the New Year? We can celebrate together with


    both our


    families.”
