Rebecca's heart settled a bit as she quickly took out her phone to message Sullivan.

Back in his study, Nathaniel's expression was as dark as ever. Having spent over five years under the same roof as Rebecca, he was certain she was hiding something from him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have looked so distressed earlier. He immediately contacted his secretary, instructing him to investigate what had happened during Rebecca's time abroad.

Nathaniel's expression turned icy as he instructed, "Use my personal account for this investigation. We must uncover the truth, no matter what!"

He understood Damon's temperament. If he couldn't present useful information next time, Damon wouldn't give him a second chance.

He had to uncover the influence behind Rebecca!

"Understood," his secretary replied.
