Lily frowned thoughtfully at the computer screen.
If her guess was correct, this company was not currently personally steered by Aidan Lucas.
Dylan Wellington was deeply knowledgeable about the entertainment industry, and with Weldon Group’s alliance with the Wellington family, the likelihood that Dylan Wellington was currently the behind-the-scenes power player of the Weldon Group was high.
But why was Dylan Wellington working against the Gray family?
“Regardless, after I return, I must first go to the Gray family and Bastion to understand what’s going on. We’ll deal with everything else when the time comes.”
“Also, continue to help me track Lena’s whereabouts. If you’re short of manpower, you can notify Winston. He’s been in Eastonia for the past couple of years and might understand the situation better than your people do.”
Sadie twitched at the thought of having to contact Winston.
In the entire base, the person she hated the most was Winston.
Because, that was the only opponent against whom she saw not even a hint of hope of winning.

When they arrived in A City, it was exactly seven o’clock in the morning.
This time when Lily returned, she didn’t want to create a big scene.
While Sadie brought three of her subordinates, Lily only brought her assistant. They were a simple party of five.
Because of this, the Duke spent a good while fussing before they left, insisting on assigning a team of ten bodyguards to Lily.
In the end, although Lily rejected his offer, David Redington managed to sneak Blake into the group.
The person who came to the airport to pick them up was Blake, David’s former agent. However, ever since David stopped acting, Blake had been responsible for managing the Eastonia branch of Reddington Group.
“Miss, the hotel is ready for you. We can go there right away. Would you like to rest first or eat something?”
Blake rubbed his hands together, his smile unctuously flattering.
How fickle the world was! Who would have thought that the Miss Gray who once begged David to star in a TV series would become Miss David’s own sister in the blink of an eye?
And now, she was the heiress of the Reddington Group.
Looking at Miss David in front of him, with her increasingly delicate and refreshing face, Blake found her somewhat unfamiliar.
Her peach blossom eyes, pointed chin, and bushy hair were the same.
But why did she seem like a completely different person after four years?
It was as though her demeanor was completely different.
Despite looking like a delicate and enchanting beauty, there was something about her…
Just like the moment when she appeared in the airport terminal. She seemed to be sparkling.
Both men and women were unconsciously attracted to her.
“I don’t need to rest. I’ll go back to the hotel for a shower and a change of clothes and then go straight to the Gray family. It’s seven now, I should get to the company around nine, just in time for the morning meeting.”
“What about breakfast? If you don’t eat anything, the young master will blame me.”
“Pack me up something for breakfast. I’ll eat on the way. Jack Cooper, you’re working for me now if you want to serve David, you go find him.”
Jack Cooper was Blake’s Chinese Name.
He disliked it because it sounded old-fashioned and didn’t like to mention it. Yet after all these years, Miss still remembered.
“Yes, yes, I got confused. As long as I follow Miss, I’m Miss’s person. Heh heh, I’ll be waiting in the hotel lobby later. You can call me whenever you’re ready.”
Blake secretly sighed in appreciation. Indeed, she is different, even the tone of her speech has become more domineering.
Lily stopped speaking, closed her eyes and rested in the backseat.
Sadie and her crew had already separated from her. Now, only Witherspoon’s assistant and Blake were with her.

After freshening up at the hotel, they arrived at the Gray family office right at nine o’clock.
“Miss, do you need my company?”
“No, driver, we’re not going to the Gray’s, go straight to Bastion.”
“Huh? Going to Bastion?”
Blake and Witherspoon’s assistant had a puzzled look. The Miss had changed her mind too quickly.
