Chapter 601: Daniel Left the Douglas family

Audrey was fuming at Aleah's antics, glaring at their retreating backs. "Ms. Willer, can you believe her nerve?"

Betty just waved it off. "Let's head home."

Let Aleah keep doing her thing.

Aleah wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, easy to manipulate, which was why Sophia kept her around.

Aleah was gullible, perfect for a sucker like Richard.

If Richard wanted intel, he'd have to squeeze it out of Aleah. Hopefully, he'd get something useful.

Betty picked up Ethan's call. He asked, "I heard you sent Richard to cozy up to Aleah. Are you putting him in danger?"

"Isn't it all for you guys?" Betty smirked. "Ethan, I'm even willing to risk Richard for this score."

"The Douglas Group and the Raymond Group's jewelry projects for this year are all yours," Ethan said, laying it on thick.

Betty grinned. "Classic Ethan. Since you're so generous, I need to speed things up. Richard found out from Aleah that Sophia and Howard are indeed in cahoots. You were right; Howard's got a backup plan."

When Sophia was in Muskow, she raised a bunch of mercenaries to handle various jobs.

Howard hit up Sophia because he wanted the "weapons" and "blades" she had. When Howard was in a tight spot, he'd definitely use Sophia's crew.

Richard's current gig with Sophia was to figure out these people, track their moves, and keep Ethan in the loop to prevent any surprises.

Howard's top targets were definitely Claire and Ethan, all for his lover's kid, Bradley.

"Is Richard's cover solid?" Ethan doubted Richard's ability to blend in.
