Chapter 363
Based on Kanna’s past actions, I didn’t think she was a nice and gentle person. She could curse Neil with her own life and then sneak away without telling anyone. How could she possibly be sincere about healing her former competitor?
The next morning. I rushed to the hospital for a check–up, specifically a gynecological one.
I bumped into Stella, who came for a prenatal checkup.
“Rena, what are you checking? Are you pregnant too?” Stella asked in surprise.
“No, just some period issues.” I denied.
“Alright, Neil’s getting engaged tomorrow, are you going?” Stella asked again.
“Nope, no need to.” I shook my head.
Mitch, next to us, let out a sigh. “Rena, Neil still likes you. Really, I just have a gut feeling…”
“Shut up!” Stella swung her arm to hit Mitch. She wanted me to keep my distance from Neil, and Mitch was actually persuading me.
Mitch reluctantly shut his mouth and even began worrying about Stella. “Don’t get mad; I was just talking. Be careful with the baby. The doctor said to be extra careful for the first three months.”
“Then stop meddling in other people’s business!” Stella glared at Mitch.
“I won’t anymore.” Mitch nodded quickly
Stella had finished her check–up, so I let them leave first. I continued to wait for my results.
When the results came out, there were no major issues. I was still having a hard time getting pregnant. But the situation didn’t worsen, so I relaxed.
If Karina had given me more trouble, I would have fallen apart.
Then came the day of Neil and Bonnie’s engagement. Bonnie seemed so eager to marry Neil that she didn’t require any preparation and just invited a bunch of guests to a mansion in Rosemont for the engagement party.
Due to Neil’s status and the backing of StarGlow Enterprises, almost everyone in Rosemont attended the engagement party. All employees of StarGlow Enterprises were given the day off, leaving only the security guards on duty.
“Daisy, off you go.”
I let go of Daisy, pointing to the StarGlow Enterprises gate in the distance. Daisy got my drift and quickly led the guard away.
The guard was not very vigilant. To enter StarGlow Enterprises, one needed an entrance card, and to enter Gloria’s office, an elevator card and office password were required.
Neil had given me all these, so I got on the elevator smoothly.
While I was busy, Neil and Bonnie were having their engagement party elsewhere. Time was still ample.
I opened the safe in Gloria’s office and saw a folder, which might be what I was looking for. It was about the size of my palm.
I skimmed through it and was shocked by what I saw. The scale of money laundering Ethan Foster was involved in was enormous, and his assets, all gained through corruption, were huge.
All the information I needed was in this folder.
Suppressing my excitement, I took photos of the documents one by one and sent them directly to Neil. As for the originals, I took them with me.
The problem arose when I was leaving. As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw the guard. He seemed to be looking for Daisy, and when he saw me, he looked surprised and then became cautious. He took out a baton from his waist as he approached me. “Who are you? How did you come out of Ms. Gloria’s private elevator?”
I almost stopped breathing, feeling a bit nervous.
“I am Ms. Gloria’s new assistant; she sent me to get something.” I was wearing a mask, so the guard couldn’t see my face. I made up an identity on the spot.
“What are you really here for? Ms. Gloria didn’t hire a new assistant. I’m calling her now!” The guard took out his phone.
Thinking quickly, I dialed Neil’s number.
“Mr. Whitmore, I came to the company to get something and was stopped by the security guard!”
Neil picked up the phone quickly, and I hurriedly told him.
“Let him take a call.” Neil was calm.
“This is a call from Mr. Whitmore. You know, the one getting engaged to Ms. Tueley today.” I handed the phone to the guard. Given the current relationship between Neil and Bonnie, the guard would definitely take it.
Sure enough, he took Neil’s call, putting away his own phone.
I’m not sure what Neil said, but the guard’s face relaxed.
“So it’s Mr. Whitmore who sent you. I thought you was a thief. I was wondering how you got into the elevator without a pass.”
“Yeah, Mr. Whitmore gave it all to me.” I quickly chimed in.
After hanging up, the guard waved me on. “Go on; Mr. Whitmore is waiting for you to send something over.”
I breathed a sigh of relief and hastened to leave. When I got to my car, I found Daisy waiting for me. It had not been caught and smartly came back to wait for me.
I suddenly felt that Neil giving me this dog was the right decision.
Back at my apartment, I started combing through the documents. I couldn’t hand them over to the police yet. I’d wait until Neil had some results.
About half an hour later, Alicia called and said, “Something’s happened!”

“What is it?” I asked.
“Neil and Bonnie’s engagement party has gone south, and Bonnie’s implicated in money laundering and murder!” Alicia’s tone was as if she had heard some unbelievable news; she was utterly shocked.
I was calm because this was what I had been waiting for.
“Do you want to come over and take a look? This chaos might last a while. Reporters are already on the scene, and the police should be here soon.” Alicia’s voice was full of anticipation.
“I’m on my way now.” I definitely had to check this out. During my past life, Bonnie was like a living nightmare, haunting me every step of the way. In this life, she was still a thorn in my side, like a ghost that wouldn’t leave me alone.
This should be her last hurrah.
I grabbed the files and bolted out the door to find Neil. I hauled ass, getting there just as the cop cars pulled up.
Since this whole mess also involved Ethan Foster, who was kind of a big deal, there were a bunch of cops on the scene who were ready for anything.
