Chapter 638 Missing Her

It could be said that all of Duncan's attention was focused on Ashley.

As Haley informed him that Andrew had uncovered Ashley's tracks, his heart beat in his throat, fearing that Andrew would find Ashley.

But when he heard the last thing that Haley just said, he finally felt relieved. Fortunately, Andrew had given up on his plans to continue looking for Ashley.

However, Andrew's change of heart had nothing to do with him.

The only person he ever cared for was Ashley!

Duncan's indifferent attitude frustrated Haley. He had told him everything he knew, yet it didn't seem to work.

"Duncan, why do you keep playing dumb? The acquisition concerns J City..."

"So what? Does that have anything to do with me?" Duncan interrupted nonchalantly.

Haley couldn't find the words to refute him. Haley had to admit that Duncan was quite a Buddha-like youngster.

He was unperturbed by anything, even the acquisition didn't stir any waves in his heart.

At the time when the servant came upstairs, calling Duncan to have lunch, he didn't refuse. Anyway, Hanley was not at home. Maybe Duncan could have meals first and have a nice talk with his mother. Carrie might be a good mediator and persuade the guards to let Duncan come out of the villa.

Besides, Duncan had never been a man who liked to wrong himself.

Truly, he had no reason to starve.

As they came downstairs, Carrie was sitting on the sofa and reading a book. At the sight of them descending the stairs, Carrie set aside the book in her hands. She looked at them pointedly. "Finally, you decided to come down.

Come, let's have lunch together."

If Carrie wasn't here, Haley could be himself. With Carrie in the house, he could only sit there quietly and be careful with his actions, which was a torment for him. He just wished he came on another day.

"Aunt Carrie, it's late now. I should go home. I'll come and visit Duncan again tomorrow," he said to Carrie.

Carrie cast a gentle look at Haley and softly said, "You can leave after lunch. We should eat first."

Haley was about to refus

se of alleged plagiarism after he and Duncan had left.

Ashley had been the assistant of a top fashion designer. She was then promoted to junior designer in no time. However, with the incident of plagiarism being exposed, she was fired from the company. Now she had fallen pregnant. It didn't take much imagination to figure out what kind of life she was living there.

All of a sudden, Collin fell silent, not daring to say more. He also knew that Duncan had been confined to his house. If Collin were to tell him about this, it would only cause a lot of trouble.

Collin hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should spill the beans or not.

Realizing that Collin hadn't spoken at all, Duncan squinted his eyes and asked coldly, "Well, I'm listening.

Do you know or not? Or it is hard to say?"

As Collin came to his senses and heard Duncan's voice, he shivered subconsciously. Although Duncan appeared to be a nice young man, he held a higher status.

If he became vexed, no one could tell what would happen.

"I have some ideas."

After all, it was Duncan who had asked him to investigate on Ashley.

As for what the results of his words would be, he decided to get himself out of the present trouble first.

Collin made a loud gulp, preparing to disclose the information he received from N Country.

"Ashley has been dismissed because of a plagiarism charge."
