Wendy didn’t want to hand all her power over to Cramer, but at this point she had no choice.

The man above her held proof that she had forged the will – along with evidence of every crime she had committed over the years. If those were ever exposed, her only path would be to the grave.

Now Cramer had joined forces with that man. He had discarded her like an expendable pawn.

The only thing she could do was compromise.

As long as she still had the inheritance Leo had left her back then, she had a way to make a comeback. Besides, even if Cramer gained control of all her shares, it didn’t mean he could immediately run Saint Corp. She could still buy up stock from other shareholders and force her way back in, using the company for her own purposes.

If the man above thought he could abandon her and support that brat Cramer instead, she would make him understand that she was the only loyal partner worth keeping.

Meanwhile, Eliza was still combing through Saint Corp’s investment records from recent years and found that the company had been running at a loss year after year yet massive sums of money continued to pour into it.

It was nothing short of money laundering.

Nolan slid an envelope across the table toward her. Eliza glanced down and saw that it was an invitation printed in a foreign language.

“What’s this?”

“Saint Corp is changing hands.”

Her eyes

widened. Wendy had only just fled from Westbrook to overseas – how could Saint Corp already be changing ownership?

By all logic, Wendy should be taking full control of the company right now, not letting it slip away. There was no way she would willingly hand her power to someone else.

“Could the information be wrong?”

“No. An invitation directly from Saint Corp wouldn’t be a mistake.”

“You’re saying they already know we’re here and deliberately sent us this?”

Eliza’s unease grew. She picked up the invitation and unfolded it. Sure enough, it formally invited Miss Eliza and Mr. Nolan to attend the upcoming banquet marking the transfer of

power.

The whole thing felt stranger by the minute.

“This has to be a joke.”

“It’s not.”

Nolan said, “Saint Corp released the news this morning – Leo’s only son, Cramer, will take over as head of the company.”

“Cramer?”

Their research earlier had turned up nothing about Leo’s son. Now his name appeared out of nowhere, and Eliza could only feel stunned.

Could Wendy really have given all her power to someone else?

“I think they must have something on her. She had no choice but to hand over her shares.”

“I understand what you mean,” Eliza said, nodding. “If not for that, Wendy would never give them up.”

“Exactly. Whoever ordered the digging under Claire University’s medical building and forced Wendy to surrender her shares is the same person – someone with all the evidence needed to control her. This proves there’s an even bigger player behind her.”

“Could it be Cramer himself?”

After all, he was the biggest winner in all this.

“No,” Nolan replied. “If Cramer had possessed that evidence from the start, the Chen family inheritance wouldn’t have gone to Wendy and she wouldn’t have controlled Saint Corp for over twenty years. Don’t you think he’s moving a little late?”

“Cramer’s Leo’s only son, born to his first wife. That would make him, what, late thirties by now? Could he have been planning since childhood to take back what’s his?”

Nolan shook his head.

They were unfamiliar with the foreign landscape and its power players, so they couldn’t act rashly. The only way to get real answers was to attend the banquet and see Cramer for themselves.

“I know you’ve done your best already,” Eliza said. “Let’s go see for ourselves tonight.”

“Alright.”

The invitation was in their hands now there was no reason not to go.

That evening, without dressing too extravagantly, Eliza slipped her hand through Nolan’s arm
