"It's not quite like that..."
"Enough!"
Nichole stood up, impatiently saying, "I asked you to investigate Sophie's matter. Have you done it?"
"The executive secretary has looked into it. All that’s known is that Ms. Sophie fell overboard and is missing, presumed dead or alive, and Mr. Burke was also injured."
Nichole said dissatisfiedly, "Isn't this all just what's been on the news? Can't you guys do a more thorough investigation on the island?"
"Well..." Aisha said with difficulty, "The executive secretary isn’t like Mr. Burke's close associate, Colt. He doesn’t have access to any information that's not already online. You should know this as well..."
"Useless!"
Nichole was furious but felt powerless. Though the Freeman family was wealthy, it paled in comparison to the Burke family.
Now that Briggs was not at home, she couldn't mobilize anyone in the household. She had no choice but to rely on herself!
"Prepare the car for me. I'm going to the Burke family."
"Miss, you’re going there again..."
Aisha didn’t know whether she should speak up or not. Nichole had been visiting the Burke family frequently these days, which could lead to gossip.
"What? Are you not listening to me anymore? Hurry up!"
"...Yes."
Aisha left the room.
After getting ready, Nichole took the car to the Burke family’s residence.
