Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Leo glanced at Chad and said, "Chad, there's a family we need to keep an eye on." He circled the Mastin family and a man named Anthony on the paper before him. Chad furrowed his brow and looked at Leo, waiting for him to explain.

"The Mastin family is my mother's side of the family," Leo started, "From what you've seen last time, they've had a long-standing feud with us, the Cedillos. This Anthony, though, he's not just anyone. He's Finley Mastin's second son, and he used to be the manager at Mastin Corporation."

Leo paused, reminiscing a tragic event. "Sixteen years ago, on June 5th, after a dispute at a diner that resulted in a police intervention, there was an off-the-record settlement. Three days later, Anthony died in a car accident."

He sighed. "A week after that, my aunt and uncle were kidnapped. Me, Jade, and Mia have heard Mr. Rodrigo admit that my aunt had passed away."

Chad was not a Cedillo, after all, it was Leo who knew his family best.

Chad looked at the documents in Leo's hand. "Eighteen years ago, you were only three years old. Your father, who worked at the finance department, secured a massive deal worth 3 billion for the Mastin family. It dealt a significant blow to the Mastin family." Leo nodded, "He did it for my mother."

Chad continued his analysis. "Seventeen years ago, your father nearly put Kyle behind bars. Later, the Mastin family was fined 430 million."

Leo frowned, "I had no knowledge of that, but I do remember Kyle hitting my mother once. Not long after, he was begging for her forgiveness."

Chad responded, "That might be it. If it's revenge from an enemy, coupled with financial troubles, the Mastin family from sixteen years ago fits the profile perfectly."

Leo pondered, "The real game-changer in the Mastin family was Mr. Rodrigo, who now have passed away. Kyle and his son didn't have the guts to kidnap anyone. I suspect there's someone else behind it all."

Chad felt like he was onto something. He reached out to his apprentice, " let's meet at our usual place."

Chad turned to Leo, "You're coming with me."

Meanwhile, Molly had been working hard in the morning, which meant she had less work in the afternoon.

At six o'clock, she closed her last file, stood up, stretched, and carried a stack of documents to her manager.
