Chapter 819

"Wha... what?

", With a shocked yelp, Chet took a look at his hand, and threw the melon seeds that he just grabbed back on the tissue. Must he exploit him like this? Not only did Frederick not let him eat, but had even asked him to peel the seeds for him. Looking at the piles of seeds before him, Chet's eyelids twitched. He wondered if he was here as a senior assistant or a melon seeds peeler.,

"Ally likes these recently!

", Frederick explained everything in just one sentence. He then poured a pile out, and placed two pieces of tissue beside it for them to put the peeled melon seeds at., Chet rolled his eyes, speechless.

"Dear Mr. Clements, don't you know that you can buy melon seeds that are peeled?

", He had come to do some reporting, but was asked to provide free labor? What a sad life it was! Where did his intelligence go when it came to his wife? The great Mr. Clements was actually wasting time peeling melon seeds?, As he continued peeling seriously, Frederick casted him a glance and asked,

"It's not the, same.

", Who knew how those melon seeds were peeled and handled by others?, Besides, Ally liked freshly peeled ones!, After letting out a long sigh, Chet rolled his eyes and resigned himself to fate. He grabbed a handful and started peeling with a miserable look on his face.,

"Frederick, there was news just now. The toxins in Uncle's body are almost dispelled. They used the most advanced steam therapy method. The addiction is cured. Fortunately, it was discovered early. After his condition stabilizes for a few more months, there should be no serious problem after!

",

"Okay.

", The subordinate paused for a while as the look on Frederick's face changed slightly, not saying a word., Knowing that there was some sadness in him, and that he couldn't get over his father's betrayal and mother's premature death, Chet didn't say much and changed the subject instead.,

"As for Blooming Flora, I found some information, and I'm almost getting to the bottom of it. I am quite sure that the person who shot you was the boss of Blooming Flora! His name is Steve. He is nearly fifty years old now, and is still single. He had a few years of military experience. He opened a restaurant, and sold clothes and fruits before. Things did not go smoothly for him! He must have made all sorts of friends. Then, he started the flower company and still operates it until today! As far as I know, although this company is small, and it owns a flower bed and a flower shop, its location, product, and reputation are not good. Logically speaking, the business should not be going well for this ordinary florist, but they have worked with many rich and powerful families, hotels, and done several major events, and many of them were because of Penny! I took the opportunity to inquire with the Kemp family butler about the Kempson Equipments Group, and he complained that the flower buds sent by them were not half- opened like what they asked for, while the other flowers were not in great shape which made them furious. They even directly said that if it weren't for Julia, they wouldn't have chosen Blooming Flora! Their services cost as much as 30 million dollars! Also, I found out that over the past few years, all the flowers for the Clements family were either directly or indirectly sourced from Blooming Flora.

",

"Are you saying he is on Penny's side?

", Gifts blind the eyes. Was he repaying Penny? It was reasonable. However, there was one thing, Frederick still didn't understand., Why did this matter end halfway through? Saying so much, but doing so little, was the dumbest thing one could do!,

"I think their relationship may be more complex than we think!

", As they looked at each other, Frederick frowned doubtfully and asked,

"Why do you say that?

",

"Will a wealthy bachelor not get married? Even if he is a celibatarian, what about children, public pressure, and criticism? Obviously, this Steve guy doesn't care about that at all! Of course, he may be abnormal, or he may not be interested in women, not b Wcan serve as explanations. But in fact, he is neither noble nor uninterested in women. He hangs around nightclubs, and has an ambiguous relationship with a young worker of his company named Megan. Say, what kind of relationship do you think a single man and a single woman can have in secret?

" ,

"Does he have an affair with Penny?

", Frederick's question came out more like a statement. He picked up his cup of coffee and took a sip., The matter seemed to be even more complicated than he had imagined!, If there was really such a person, then the, Clements family...,

"When you were shot, there were at least two people in the car!

", At the time, he had just come back from a business trip, and almost everyone in the family was there. Hence, it definitely couldn't be Penny. For something like this, with her intelligence, she had to know to avoid being suspicious. If she knew he would return, she would not bully Alicia like that! Moreover, they were at the doorstep of Clements family home. Logically speaking, it was more of a deliberate attempt than a coincidence. Who was the other person then?, Sharing the same thought, Chet nodded at Frederick.,

"So, it means that there was also an accomplice! One had a gun, and one remains unknown. In order not to act rashly, we can't make any moves for the time being! Although I haven't gotten the evidence yet, the relationship between the two is definitely not as simple as the mere gain of mutual benefits! They must only have dared to work weach, other like this because they have complete trust and go way back with each other. The only thing I can't figure out for now is the relationship between them, and whether Steve did it for the money or for other reasons? After all, Kieran is also a target! It's just that he wasn't very lucky, and became a comatose patient. We can't be sure whether or not to discard him!

", , If his life was taken, they would simply discard that idea; if he was able to talk and move, they would be able to get some inside information from him and make judgements based on that. However, not only was he unable to provide them any help, he also interfered with their view and judgement!,

"Then let's do things another way! It's better to wait and see rather than putting in so much effort to something we have no control of! We can't establish his purpose, but don't we know Penny's purpose?

", With Penny, everything came down to one thing only - money!,

"As long as we hold that against her, I believe there's nothing she can do. It's best if she doesn't do anything; but if she does, it will put an end to everything! Let's feign action in one area and make the real move in another. Go get a few people who aren't associated with us in any way to become shareholders of, Clements Group. We can't disclose anything yet!

" , With his grandmother still around and his father in such a situation, he couldn't push too far! Frederick felt a storm brewing.,

"Got it. I'll make the arrangements!

", While they were talking, they had peeled many melon seeds. Frederick took out a plastic box from the drawer, and then started pouring all the melon seeds into the box.

"Why are there so few?
