Chapter 5

As Ken Oliver, Nelson's special assistant, came over, Rita had already left. But Ken had spotted her earlier and knew that the reason his boss lurched in the hallway was for her. It was clear that they didn't have a nice talk, as there was only his boss left there. He sighed in his heart. Ken had been with Nelson long enough to know that he was not one to openly express his emotions. But he also knew how deeply his boss had been affected when Rita had disappeared in that accident three years ago. Since then, Nelson had become more guarded and reserved. "I need to know everything that has happened between them over the past three years," Ken waited for a long time beside Nelson before he got the order. He quickly nodded, "Yes, sir." ...... Ken was very efficient. In less than an hour, all the information about Rita was placed in front of Nelson. There was not much information. After all, Victoria, who was Rita, had been very mysterious in the past three years. It was very difficult to find out her information. However, Nelson still noticed a name in this pile of documents. Abbott Pearson. He was the man who accompanied Rita to the party tonight and was called her husband by Rita. Abbott's identity was not simple; he was the head of the E&T Group in Westgrad. He had established Rita's studio for her, and with his help over the past three years, Rita had gained access to valuable resources. Moreover, as per the information, Abbott had also been very engaged in Rita's personal life. Nelson looked at these documents and felt extremely agitated. He threw the files aside and asked, "Did you find Neil?" Neil Noyes, the one who was sent to pick up Rita because Laurel was in a critical situation three years ago. Ken was actually the person who supposed to pick Rita up that day, but since Neil volunteered, Nelson let him go. However, Neil himself went missing. Neil, a retired soldier and former navy member, should have been more than capable of rescuing someone from the river. Ken couldn't help but feel that something was off about the situation. No wonder Nelson had been Nelsonrching for Neil for the past three years. Ken wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "I still haven't found any information on him. I'll keep Nelsonrching." Nelson hated traitors more than anything. If three years ago, Neil had let Rita escape deliberately and betrayed Nelson, he would be better off dead. Otherwise, he would suffer a fate worse than death. After a moment of silence, Nelson asked, "Have you found any news about the child?" Nelson's heart skipped a beat when he mentioned the child. When Rita disappeared, she was already nine months pregnant and was about to give birth. If she had survived, would the child still be alive?
