Chapter 372: The Olteran Family Can't Do Without Vera

Vera's gears were turning. "People aren't stupid. Those who earned money dishonorably will try to take Sebastian down and put their own people in his place to keep the cash flowing."

"Vincent vouched for Sebastian, and the investigators left. But then someone exposed Molly's identity, forcibly linking Vincent and Sebastian closely."

She added, "Even if the higher-ups want to punish someone, the real target should be Timothy. Sixteen years ago, Sebastian was just a kid. What does it have to do with him? This whole thing is clearly aimed at him." "If Sebastian loses, they'll install their own and make even more dirty money. Everyone's after money."

Patrick asked, "Vera, did you figure all this out just from a logical standpoint?"

Vera shook her head. "Not entirely. Warren taught Noah and me behavioral analysis."

Patrick looked at Vera, realizing he had underestimated her. She had always supported him, never dragging him down.

He wanted to praise her but worried she might get cocky.

"So, you identified Sebastian's competitors and their backers?" Patrick asked.

Vera nodded. "Honey, does my analysis make sense?"

Patrick smiled. It made perfect sense; she had voiced his thoughts exactly.

"What's the next step?" he asked.
