Daniel Marshall savored the taste, the chive dumplings inadvertently reminded him of his mother.
The chive dumplings that his grandmother made using the recipe left by his mother tasted similar to these.
It was highly likely that Grace Ziegler’s mother was his mother, Ella Charles.
To avoid startling the snake in the grass, and not wanting those ignoble people to target Grace, Daniel’s handsome face remained expressionless, giving no indication of what he was thinking. Eating his chive dumplings, Daniel silently left the secretary’s office.
Grace stood still in her place, her bright eyes staring fixedly at the retreating figure of Chief Daniel Marshall.
Not until Chief Daniel’s figure disappeared from her sight, did a shy, faint smile appear on Grace’s face.
Luckily, it was Chief Daniel who discovered her eating chive dumplings. Had the head secretary found out, she would have surely been fired.
Grace felt that Chief Daniel was very nice, and she never imagined that he would also like chive dumplings.
After tidying up her desk, Grace still had a faint smile on her lips.
Although her heart continued to thump wildly, she was not as nervous as before.
Once inside the Rolls-Royce, Daniel immediately called Martin Wallace.
“I just heard Grace say that her family sells chive dumplings and that the ones her mother makes are delicious. Investigate the shop that sells the best chive dumplings in the area. The scope is now much narrower, it should be easier to find people.”
“Daniel, my people have already arrived in Binzhou Mining Area based on the address Grace provided in her job entry records. This place is indeed quite remote, and if one isn’t a miner or a family member, they wouldn’t come here. It’s a good place to keep a low profile.”
“How’s life there? Is it very tough?” Daniel’s deep eyes narrowed slightly, a trace of worry in his heart.
“Not exactly tough, there are schools, hospitals, cinemas and other places. But most people are miners and their families, with relatively fewer outsiders. It’s definitely not as bustling as a big city. Life here should be simpler.”
“Investigate thoroughly, my mom might be in Binzhou.”
“Understood, my guys will focus on the owners of the dumpling shops. We are also prepared with voice recorders and high-definition cameras to capture the woman selling the dumplings, so that you can identify whether she is your mom or not. As soon as there is any news, I’ll report to you immediately.”
After hanging up the phone, Daniel couldn’t help thinking about the chive dumplings his mother used to make.
He had always been a child without a mother, but he really missed her now.
Unconsciously, Daniel’s eyes reddened slightly, feeling a pang of sourness.
Now that the search scope could be narrowed, Daniel felt an inexplicable excitement.
Daniel was also expecting something in his heart.
In the afternoon, after finishing discussions, Daniel called Olivia Jenkins.
Learning that Olivia was in Winona Thornton’s Art Training Center, Daniel went there to find Olivia.
Daniel arrived, but did not see Olivia.
Looking around, Daniel surprisingly found a classical violin sitting on the counter.
This violin looked familiar, it was like the one he had custom-made for Charmy Bennett.
Taking long strides, Daniel quickly walked over.
Upon closer inspection, Daniel indeed found Charmy’s English name — Joey! — on the side of the violin.
Daniel remembered clearly that, after Charmy passed away, he kept Charmy’s beloved classical violin in her villa.
Why would Charmy’s belongings appear here?
Just casually left out like this, what if it fell and broke?
How could one not cherish such a valuable thing?
In an instant, uncontrollable rage surged in Daniel’s chest, and he asked fiercely, “Who left the violin here?”
