First Loves Return Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 491

Chapter 491 

At night, Mariela couldn’t sleep. 

The recording echoed repeatedly in her ears. 

The person behind Lauryn was Nikolas.

Mariela was unsure of how much Lauryn, as the adopted daughter of the Stark family, knew about the secrets of the Stark family. 

She had never asked Lennon whether Lauryn held any position in the Stark Group before. 

If Lauryn worked at the Stark Group and had access to some of the Stark Group’s business secrets, leaking those secrets to Nikolas would be detrimental to the Stark Group. 

Besides, Nikolas hated the Starks. 

Everything he did before was to take revenge against Lennon. 

Since Lauryn liked Lennon, Mariela couldn’t understand why she would help Nikolas and stand against Lennon. 

Did Nikolas promise her something? 

Mariela thought about these things and tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Until the faint light of dawn appeared on the horizon, she felt sleepy.

Mariela woke up and it was already afternoon. 

She sat up from the bed and glanced at the time on her phone. It was 

half 

past two. 

She irritably grabbed her hair and sighed resignedly. 

Yesterday at the coffee shop, the private detective gave her a hard copy of the photo and also sent her an electronic file of the evidence. 

After washing up, Mariela sent those electronic files to Lennon’s email box. 

Mariela said to herself in her heart, “I should help him. After all, he saved Angel. During the engagement ceremony, he even risked his life to protect her from a knife attack. I can’t just watch and do nothing.” 

Lauryn was not enough to threaten Lennon, but if the person behind Lauryn was Nikolas, then it might be a different story. 

Mariela was well aware of how powerful Nikolas was in Italy. 

Lennon regarded Nikolas as a formidable rival, and if Lauryn had been acting as a mole within the Stark family to assist Nikolas in his plot against them, not only would the Stark Group be impacted, but Lennon might also be in danger. 

After sending the email, Mariela saw that there was a new email in her mailbox. 

The sender was the person she entrusted to help investigate the business registration documents of the Herman Group. 

The email title was “The Herman Group Registration Files“. 

Mariela opened the email and quickly scrolled through the documents with her mouse. 

Mariela read through the detailed information about the change in ownership of the Herman Group and repeatedly went over it. She thought about what Jaime had mentioned earlier. He said that it was Nikolas’s lackey, Bruce, who had invested in the Herman Group. Her brow furrowed.
