Chapter 296 A Powerful Backing

What happened in the afternoon had no impact on Natalie whatsoever. She appeared as cold as

ever.

After Cedric eft, she immersed herself back into work. In the afternoon, Leon came by with a somewhat solemn expression.

“Any news about Bia?” Natalie asked.

Even though Natalie had to put up with Cedric for information on Bianca, that didn’t mean she stopped investigating on her own end.

It was evident she didn’t want deeper interactions with Cedric.

However, to Natalie’s disappointment, Leon shook his head.

“None.”

“None?” Natalie’s heart tightened.

But Leon’s expression was more than solemn. Natalie could tell it was more than just the absence of news about Bianca.

“Is there more to this?” Natalie asked bluntly.

Leon frowned, and the atmosphere turned heavy. Leon had been with Natalie for a long time, and it was rare he looked like this.

It looked like… the situation was more complicated than Natalie thought.

He glanced at her and said, “The person behind this probably sensed we were looking into Ms. Sanders. All the cases that she has handled over the years have been erased.”

Natalie’s gaze instantly sharpened. “All of them?

“Yes, ma’am.”

All traces of Bianca’s work had been erased?!

“So, we can’t even find out who had conflicts with Bianca anymore?”

“No.”

Natalie’s chest tightened. So, was the person behind this connected to Bianca’s work?

Natalie had just ordered an investigation. Yet, this person had…
