Sebastian smiled. “Mr. Beltran, let’s not beat around the bush. If you can find things out about me, I can definitely find things out about you.”
“I don’t mean any harm. I’m just curious if there’s some problem with Michelle, and why you’re investigating her.”
“I’ve been thinking about it, and I wondered if it has something to do with your kidnapping back then. Because you were taken to North City General Hospital for treatment, and the director at the time was Michelle.”
“Other than that connection, I can’t think of anything else.”
Xavier said flatly, “I haven’t been looking into Michelle. As for whether anyone else in my family has, I wouldn’t know.”
“If Mr. Harmon really wants to know, I’ll ask for you when I get home.”
Sebastian replied, “If Mr. Beltran doesn’t want to talk about it, then forget it. Since someone’s already looking into Michelle, she’s not a good fit. I’ll have my older sister find someone else.”
“By the way, I saw the concept art for the theme park. Aveline is really amazing. If this project is a success, she’ll be a world–class architect.”
Xavier was puzzled. “You’ve seen the concept art?”
Sebastian smiled, “What, haven’t you seen it, Mr. Beltran?”
Xavier replied coldly, “It’s my project. You think I haven’t seen the concept art?”
“My wife is already a world–class architect.”
Sebastian just smiled without saying a word.
Because he had heard from Fiona that when Bernard recommended Aveline, Xavier had only reluctantly accepted her to keep Bernard as a project consultant, and had even forced one of Josephine’s cousins onto the project.
Sebastian deliberately asked, “That architect who claimed Aveline framed him for stealing the design idea, he hasn’t been causing trouble anymore, has he?”

The moment Xavier heard that, he wondered if Fiona had told Sebastian everything about him. Sebastian had to be mocking him.
He said coldly, “Mr. Harmon is quite concerned with the’s affairs.”
Sebastian smiled faintly. “After all, the Crestmark is also involved in building the theme park.”
Xavier had things on his mind and didn’t want to jog with Sebastian anymore. Besides, with Aveline not there, he was in no mood to accompany this man who coveted his wife.
“Enjoy your run, Mr. Harmon. I’m heading back now.”
With that, Xavier jogged toward the parking lot.
Sebastian called back to him, “Alright. I’ll be here running tomorrow. I hope I’ll see you again, Mr. Beltran.”
Xavier’s face was grim; he thought to himself that after all these years, he never realized Sebastian was so skilled at passive–aggressive sarcasm.
Once he was in the car, he took out his phone and called Aveline.
As always, Aveline didn’t pick up.
He sent her a text, [Are you not feeling well? What’s wrong?]
While waiting for Aveline to reply, he called Amy.
Amy answered quickly, “Good morning, Mr. Beltran.”
Xavier asked coldly, “How does Sebastian know our people are looking into Michelle?”
Amy replied, “I only found out last night. Because before Michelle started working at North City General Hospital, she was at the North District Hospital. So our people used a contact to ask Michelle’s old colleagues at the North District Hospital, and Mr. Harmon used the same contact to look into her. That’s how he found out you were investigating her too.”
“I heard Mr. Harmon was looking into Michelle because he’s trying to find a director for Daniel’s convalescent home.”
