On his way out, a question popped up in his mind, and he turned around.
“Do you feel that Graham’s acting weird lately? Did he pull any tricks?” Rowena and Jolene looked lost.
They did not understand the question.
Seeing that, he waved and said, “Never mind.I was just asking.”
Test Her Out
In the study room upstairs, Wayne was frowning at Randy.
“Get someone to keep tabs on the Zellwegers, especially Graham Zellweger.I need to know what he’s up to lately.”
“Dad, what are you suspecting?” Randy was curious.
“A few of our business contracts ran into problems.I suspect that someone has been sabotaging us.”
Wayne did not get to where he was without his shrewdness.
The problems he identified were minor, but their sudden emergence puzzled him.
Randy immediately grew wary.
‘Is someone sabotaging us? Who? The Zellwegers?”
“I don’t know.It’s just a guess.”
Wayne started suspecting Graham because the man had recently acted bolder and more irreverent toward the Glasses.
Randy frowned with a resentful look in his eyes.
“That’s possible.Graham Zellweger has been upset with us for a while.He’s just holding back all along.”
He was sure that Graham was behind everything, but he could not figure out the reason behind his audacity.
The Zellwegers might be more powerful than the Glasses, but they were not strong enough to hurt them.
Wayne shared the same understanding and said, “That’s why we need someone to keep tabs on Graham.We need to know what he’s up to and who he’s met with.”
“Sure, I will get that arranged.”
Randy nodded.
“We have nothing to fear if the Zellwegers want to make a move against us—we might even get something good out of it.I’m only worried if…”
Randy didn’t need Wayne to say it out loud.
He was smart enough to figure out the possibility that the Zellwegers might collaborate with someone else to take his family down.
If that were the case, the Glasses would be in a crisis.
“Test Danika Zellweger out if you have a chance.Let’s see how capable she is,”
Wayne suggested.
At this point, they had no choice but to take her seriously.
Randy nodded.He understood the complexity of the situation, which might even concern the survival of the Glasses.He could not afford to be careless.
Meanwhile, Danika, unaware of the conversation between the father and son, wracked her brain over the night but failed to figure out if Eustace still had feelings for her and whether he was hiding his feelings.
Finally, she gave up on thinking, refusing to interpret the logic behind his actions.
Plus, she was too occupied with work to waste time on him.
The next day, she returned to work at the Zellweger Inc office.
Her collaboration with Hunter Meyers won her some reluctant acknowledgment from her colleagues.
They finally put aside the suspicion that she had used her privilege to get ahead, and they begrudgingly admitted that her hard work had brought business to the company.
“Danika.”
Cherry came up to her.
Danika nodded at her.
“Did anything happen in the company over the past few days?”
“Nothing happened.But you and Jolene were both absent.Everyone guessed that the two of you weren’t returning.”
Even if the two privileged daughters of Graham Zellweger decided to quit working after a few days, no one would find it unusual.
If one had the wealth, there was no point hustling away for monthly wages.
At least, Cherry wouldn’t do so.
Danika chuckled when she imagined how Jolene was not in the mood for work at the moment.
“Danika, is Jolene getting engaged to Brandon Britt for real?” Cherry asked in a hushed voice.
It was a rumor that made rounds in the company, and she was curious about it.
Danika raised an eyebrow, looking surprised.
“Where did you hear that from?”
“Everyone in the company is talking about it.”
Cherry smiled wryly.She couldn’t have avoided learning about the gossip even if she had wanted to.
“Just wait for the announcement.If the news is true, we will hear about it today.”
Danika did not offer a conclusive reply, but she knew that Graham would never change his decision.She believed that the Zellwegers and the Britts would release a joint announcement of the happy news soon.
Who Is This?
Like Danika had guessed, the Zellwegers and the Britts released a joint statement about the engagement before noon.
The engagement event was slated a week later.
Not only were the Zellweger Inc employees gossiping about it, but netizens were also discussing the news.
Most sent their blessings to the couple.
In their eyes, the two families were a great match.
Jolene would be marrying into wealth anyway, which was definitely better than becoming a corporate slave like the rest of them.
Danika quickly glanced through the online comments and soon went back to work.It had been some time since her last successful business negotiation.
During the period in between, she was occupied by non-work issues.
If she didn’t get started, her colleagues would think she came to work just to pass the time.
She poured through the information of clients in hand and hesitated on who to approach.
Graham had introduced her to many of the contacts in events before, and she was sure they wouldn’t turn her down.
Still, she didn’t like the low-effort process.
When she was deliberating, she got distracted by her ringing phone.
Puzzled by the unknown number, she picked up anyway.
“Miss Zellweger.”
She heard an unfamiliar male voice from the other end.
“Who is this?”
“I’m Randy.Randy Glass, your cousin.”
He was dumbfounded by her reaction and wondered if he was easily forgettable.He even greeted her the last time they met.
“Randy Glass?” she thought.
After a slight pause, she recalled the memory of meeting him and pieced together a vague impression.
“What’s the matter?”
She was neither interested in chatting with nor getting close to her cousin.
Randy was slightly annoyed by her reaction but held back his temper when he recalled Wayne’s instructions.He asked, “Are you free? I’d like to treat you to a meal.”
Frowning, she believed he wouldn’t have popped up out of nowhere without a motive.Her silence made him nervous.
“I heard that you have been working at the business development department at Zellweger Inc.I happen to need a business partner for a project.”
