Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason) novel Chapter 642

Chapter 642 Grace Yannin

The moment she saw that gold-embossed business card from the Garner Group's Orion, she instantly understood what her father meant.

It's no wonder that Dad had this idea. After the divorce from Cason, the Packer Group lost its support.

After all, it's a halfway enterprise, and it's only with the continuous support of the Baldry family that it has truly managed to gain a foothold in Seattle.

Now that the Baldry family's support was gone, he could only seek a new goal, and the best way to do that was to use her.

She laughed at herself mockingly, but she also understood that this was the only way when there was no other way.

Yet, deep in her heart, a strong sense of doubt arose. What if Orion also cared about those scandals surrounding her, even though they were all true?

Tossing the gold-embossed business card aside, she lay down on the bed, exhausted. To regain leverage against Ainsley, she knew she must find a new ally.

So, in a couple of days, she and her mother went to the mall together to buy haute couture.

Ainsley was busy in the office when she received a call from Roman.

"Found it."

In just four short words, Ainsley lost her grip on her phone, and it fell to the ground. She quickly realized what had happened and hurriedly picked it up.

Her voice trembled as she asked, "Where are you?’

Roman gave the address, and Ainsley and Matteo immediately drove there. The place where Roman was located was his office. As soon as he arrived, he saw Manuel's car, which indicated that Manuel had arrived early.

As soon as Ainsley entered Roman's office, they discovered that it was incredibly messy. Papers scattered all over the floor were covered in phone numbers and crossed-out marks.

She understood that this was the number Roman had been investigating in the call records. On the whiteboard beside her, she saw the last number marked with a large question mark.

Upon entering the partitioned area behind the whiteboard, Ainsley and Matteo saw Manuel and Roman.

After not seeing him for a few days, Roman's face was covered in stubble, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked utterly exhausted.

Before she could ask how have they been, Ainsley greeted the two of them.

Roman excitedly said, "This is a great project! You guys have no idea how complicated this is! I've investigated all the numbers, and although some of them were empty, I didn't give up. I used encryption technology to look at these phone numbers, and finally found one that was very strange."

He pulled out a phone number. ’This is it! This number has double encryption, so even if it's decrypted, it's still a dead end. But I chose to investigate from a different angle. I specifically looked into the numbers that have been in contact with this one, and I have Mr. Gage to thank for that."

Thanks to Manuel? What did he do?

It seemed that Roman noticed Ainsley's confusion, so he explained, "Mr. Gage owns an entertainment company. He casually picked an artist and found this phone number's record in their phone. There are very few people who keep call records from years ago, but we still managed to find it.

I found this woman's name in someone's caller remark; her name is Grace Yannin."

Ainsley squinted slightly, she had heard this name before, and everyone in the entertainment industry had heard it. In his twenties, she quickly gained a foothold in the domestic scene with just a few works, winning numerous awards and becoming a grand slam star.

The reason she had heard of her was because she loved watching TV during her adolescent years, and the actress who made her marvel at her beauty was none other than this Grace.

Roman pulled out Grace's photo, "Have you seen her before? With your father?"

There are many legends about Grace, and those various awards are just a small part of them.

This person possesses an admirable determination, willing to take a break from the limelight at the peak of their career to teach in the mountains for a full three years before eventually returning to the entertainment industry.

But what was the deal with those strange messages? In what capacity did she say those words?

In any case, the strange encrypted code made her realize that Grace was not as simple as she seemed, and perhaps had some connection to the "them’ Irene had mentioned.

"It really does resemble her. I think she's the key. Does she have any plans recently? Can we arrange a meeting with her?" Ainsley looked at Roman.

"After spending three years teaching in rural areas, Grace returned to the entertainment industry, but not in her home country. Instead, she went to Yeatsvilla, where she gradually got involved in international films. Over the past year, her fame has skyrocketed internationally, making it very difficult to even get a glimpse of her," Roman said with a heavy heart.

However, his eyes lit up immediately, ’But! There's news that she's planning to return in the next few days. Her former entertainment company went crazy when they heard about it, and they excitedly organized a grand charity dinner for her in Seattle. All the donations received will be used for the mountainous area where she has been teaching for the past three years, and she will attend the event. However, the conditions to receive an invitation are extremely strict. Apart from a large number of A-list celebrities in the entertainment industry, only Mr. Gage from Seattle has received one! It is said that this is related to the powerful connections behind Grace."

"Who's backing her up?"

Roman glanced deeply at Manuel before saying, "It's still unclear, as it's hidden too well."

Manuel immediately said, "I can take you with me to join, but first I have to wait for Dominic to turn it out."

He receives countless invitations every day, and basically, Manuel decides which ones he won't attend and collects them directly.

Ainsley looked at Manuel, knowing she couldn't refuse, after all, that person was involved in her father's affairs.

"Thank you very much," Ainsley said earnestly.
