The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2737

Chapter 2737 

“You’re playing with fire going out there on your own, girl. Next time, try to avoid doing these field investigations solo, alright?” 

Regina offered a bashful smile, well aware that they were just looking out for her. Still, she believed in her own capabilities to handle the job just as well as anyone else and had no intention of heeding their advice.

After polishing off a bowl of instant ramen, Regina felt the warmth seep back into her body. She scooted closer to her senior colleague and asked, “This is my first time handling a task like this. Where do you think I should start breaking through?” 

The others looked surprised. “Your first time! Why didn’t you have a mentor with you for your first assignment? Whose team are you on?” 

“Um, well, they all didn’t want to pursue the investigation any further, and I didn’t want to give up, so I came alone,” Regina explained hesitantly, and they nodded in understanding. 

“I was just like you at your age, full of energy and determination. I wouldn’t touch a case unless it was a big deal or a wrongful accusation. But that’s all water under the bridge now. Even if your colleagues are hesitant to put in the grunt work, they shouldn’t have left you to fend for yourself here. It’s always better to have a partner, at least for safety’s 

sake.” 

“I get it. Next time I definitely won’t put myself in a risky situation again. Thanks for the heads-up,” Regina said, nodding vigorously as the veterans began to open up. 

“Did you do your homework on what used to be on this land before you came here? You should look into the whole backstory.” 

Regina nodded again, pulling out her little notebook. 

“I did some digging. According to the records, the residents of the old neighborhood moved out without a hitch, and they all received a pretty penny for their troubles or were relocated to decent housing. Otherwise, this project wouldn’t have gone through so 

smoothly.” 

This was where Regina’s real confusion lay. Normally, if the compensation was right, residents were happy to move into new homes. Considering how much time had passed, it seemed odd that someone would suddenly show up, acting like they’d been swindled by the developers. 

But when she looked into that man’s eyes, Regina felt ashamed for harboring such dark suspicions. He looked so down and out; how could she entertain such thoughts about him? 

“You’re right; the info we have is just what’s on the surface. But you find it strange too, don’t you? Why does that man seem so distressed?”

They too were puzzled by the situation. It was either the developer taking advantage of the man, or the ran was lying. Those were the only two possibilities.
