Chapter 244 Such a Secretive Matter


"Mr. Vale, I heard Alaric and Ms. Storm went to the airport early this morning. Any idea where they're headed?"

The entertainment center was almost done, and Ambrose needed it perfect, so he was worried about Alaric's whereabouts.

Ambrose pressed on. "They went early, just the two of them, no kids?"

"Yes."

Vacation? No way. Stellan's Reassuring Clinic just opened, and Alaric's swamped with work.

So, it must be a business trip. But what kind of business?

Ambrose ordered, "Get some Nexus Innovations employees to dig up info."

"Yes, Mr. Vale."

Early this morning, Alaric and Stellan boarded the plane. After settling in, Stellan leaned on his shoulder.

"It's a three to four-hour flight. If you're tired, take a nap," Alaric said, pulling her closer.

Stellan shook her head. "I can't sleep. I'm nervous. I hope this trip pays off."

"If it does, great. If not, we'll try another angle," Alaric reassured. "I have friends at the DA's office, so getting the old case files isn't hard. But for a retrial, we need evidence. So, we start there." "Yes," Stellan nodded. "It's an old case. A retrial won't be easy. Thanks for your caring, Alaric."

"If you're sure Brennan wouldn't do anything illegal, then it's a wrongful conviction. We need to clear it up!" Alaric said firmly. "This is about justice. We can't back down."
