Chapter 175

Assistant Thomas reported, “Based on the surveillance, it can be determined that the people who kidnapped Miss Angelica on the day of the engagement ceremony and took away Dalia should be the same group of people.” 

Currently, it has been found that Dalia has already illegally immigrated abroad. The identity of the person who took her away that day has not been discovered yet. The private detectives we hired and the police have not made any new progress. Every time there is a new lead, it quickly goes cold. We can only investigate halfway and then hit a dead end. 

Lennon furrowed his brow and pondered, “It seems that the influence of the person behind them cannot be underestimated.” 

His fingers tapped on the edge of the table, “Did you ask the Herman family?” 

Thomas said, “I asked, and the explanation remains the same as before. They said Mr. Herman didn’t know that Dalia was your admirer, and they were just simple friends.” 

Friday morning. 

Vanguard Law Associates. 

The head of the litigation department, Lyla, posted a message in the large group. 

Tonight, colleagues from the litigation department voluntarily joined the department dinner. I will share the time and location in the group later. 

Not long after the message was sent, Gia privately messaged Mariela. 

“Ms. Logan, did you go tonight?” 

Gia had always been close to Mariela, ever since Mariela saved Gia’s life from the hands of the criminals. The little girl was both grateful and in awe of Mariela, and had become a devoted fan of hers. 

The supervisor of the litigation department, Lyla, then assigned Gia to work as an assistant to Mariela. Now, the two of them had already become friends. 

Mariela replied, “Go ahead, anyway it’s after work and there’s nothing much to do.” 

Braxton has been officially arrested for suspected criminal activities. 

Macy was also taken to court by Mariela for spreading rumors and defamation. After the court filed the case, Macy was too ashamed to continue working at the law firm and voluntarily resigned. 

The colleagues at the law firm get along well now, and Mariela quite likes them, so she naturally wants to attend the department dinner. 

Gia replied quickly. 

Yay, I went when Ms. Logan went! 

The dinner was arranged at a decent Western restaurant. 

After dinner, someone suggested moving to a bar for drinks. 

Mariela thought about all the recent events and how she had been living each day on edge, feeling exhausted. Now, she needed to relax and agreed to go to the bar for a drink. 

They went to the bar. 

A few colleagues were drinking, chatting, and bragging. Mariela was in good spirits and also had a few drinks. 

Her alcohol tolerance has never been good. After a few drinks, she would start to become disoriented.
