Chapter 538: The Quiglys

"Miss, everything inside the USB has been confirmed. These people are indeed accepting bribes, bullying students, and abusing their power. Shall I send this to the media?"

"No need," Gabi accepted the flash drive that Felice gave her earlier. "I will keep it." She then put it on the vault that is located inside one of her drawers. "However, I want you to investigate more. The names are included inside the drive. Please give me a thorough investigation about them. I am not in a hurry, so take your time." This is just a small matter. If she really wanted to use this as a weapon, then she needed a more thorough version of everything.

Gabi got up and looked at the view outside of her office. Fall has arrived. Winter will come next. It will be cold and there will be snow. That would also mean that she had reincarnated for six months now. So far, she had accomplished a few things that would have significant effects on her future.

However, what would happen after she get rid of Alfons?

Honestly, she didn't think of these things until Felice showed her the flash drive. In her world, there is no such thing as living languidly, enjoying life somewhere. She was smart enough to know that a peaceful life is nothing but a dream. There is no going back from what she is about to do.

Meaning, she needed to prepare herself not just for Alfons but for other people.

She crossed her arms across her chest and let out a sigh. The information that she received is another stepping stone. She is going to use it for her future.

"You look so serious."

Gabi turned towards the door and was surprised to see her cousin, Earl. "What are you doing here?" Earl had a bright smile on his face.

"Ah, grandfather told me to give you something."

"Hmmm… take a seat. Do you want coffee? Or tea?"

"I prefer coffee. Latte is you have."

"Kasper, please give him some latte and tea for me." Gabi gestured earl towards the couch and the two of them sat across each other. "I didn't expect that you still have the time to run around and personally send me something. I know that you are busy."

"Ah, yes. I am a bit busy. However, I am giving you something important for the family. So… "Earl didn't continue his words as he roamed his gaze inside her office. "I was honestly surprised to see this place."

"Why?"

"Well… I was expecting to see some high-tech stuff and a sleek, super-polished office surrounded by glass. Your office is the exact opposite. Though it looks really cozy, I could sleep here."

"You looked enthusiastic," Gabi noted. "I am not letting you sleep here."

"Hey, that was a joke. A joke." Seeing that she was still staring at him without a smile on her face, Earl cleared his throat. "If you keep on frowning, you will soon have wrinkles."

"Sorry, I was just… a bit preoccupied with something."

"Oh? Am I disturbing you?"

"No. It's fine."

After a few seconds, Kasper arrived with Earl's latte and Gabi's tea. "Anyway, you said grandfather wanted you to give me something?"

"Yes. Before anything else, I wanted to inform you that the matter with the Lee and Li is already taken cared of."

"Ah. That's good."

"And the bidding. Is also good. Grandfather is going to make sure that we would not win."

Gabi nodded in response.

"Anyway, I am here to give you this."

"What's this?" She opened the tablet that Earl handed her.

"There is a copy of the information inside this flash drive. As you can see… it is really important that I personally give it to you."

"Councilman Yong?" Gabi's eyes squinted at the information of the man in front of her. It was one of the famous councilmen in their city that is known for being kindhearted. This man was well known to gave homeless people food. He personally visits the market and makes sure that no one is overpricing the fish and vegetables, he also make sure that everything is fresh. This man is just all over the city, helping people left and right.

However, the information in front of her eyes was… different.

"Grandfather said that this is going to be your official task."

"You wanted me to convince Councilman Yong to agree to the land reclamation project?"

"No, on the contrary, grandfather wanted you to stop it."

Gabi blinked at Earl before she started reading the information again. Stopping a land reclamation project? Why? However, just as she could analyze what was going on, Kasper walked towards her and whispered something before showing her another news on the tablet.

"Who is that? Is that Alfons again?"Earl asked. "That man has been making headlines because of his protests lately. Do you think he would succeed?"

"No," Gabi uttered. "He wasn't able to convince the SEO Company to give them an explanation. However, he was able to use another person." Gabi smiled and handed the tablet to Earl.

"Eh? Lyle Quigly? Why would she…"

"She joined the protest and fainted. It's fall, it is getting colder. I am surprised she even lasted two days before fainting."As always, Alfons was able to manipulate someone to finish the job for him. Then, he would take all the credit.

"Why would the Quigly family allow this to happen?"

"No idea. The Quiglys are a bunch of arrogant folks. I didn't think they allowed Lyle to join the protest. However, I wonder if this would change anything." Gabi couldn't help but smile. Lyle Quigly and Alfons Sutton.

Should she just help these two marry each other and live a happy life together?

"You are right. I have met the chairman before. He isn't the nicest. Too arrogant."

Gabi nodded. The thought of the Quigly Family made her wonder about the information that she asked Aden. It has been a few days, and she still didn't receive anything from that man. Does this mean it was difficult to investigate the Quiglys? "Anyway, let us stop talking about them. I want to know why grandfather wanted to stop the land reclamation project."
