Bailey sneered in her heart. Secretary Yan had always been loyal to his father, so Matthew had long disliked Secretary Yan. He had always wanted to chase her away and plant his own people beside him.

In her previous life, after her father passed away, Bailey listened to her second uncle’s suggestion and fired Secretary Yan and some of her father’s trusted subordinates. This led to the corporation quickly falling into the hands of Xavier and her second uncle.

Bailey placed her bag on Jeremy’s desk and sat down on Jeremy’s chair. She said to Matthew like a host treating a guest, “Making tea is usually done by the host’s family. I think Secretary Yan thinks that other than my father and me, no one else will come to the office to make tea, so she placed it there with ease.”

Matthew instantly frowned in dissatisfaction. Bailey’s words clearly meant that he was an outsider. Usually, Bailey had always been very respectful and she always fawned over him. Why was there something wrong today?

However, no matter how weird it was, Bailey was not worthy of saying such things.

Jeremy did not have a son. In the end, this huge family business still had to be inherited by Matthew’s son. In the end, he, Matthew, was the future emperor of the Shear Corporation.

Descendants never included women. A little girl who was going to marry off in the end actually dared to say in front of him that she was the owner of the Shear Corporation. She simply did not care about him. When he took down the Shear Corporation, he would let this arrogant and money-losing person have a taste of how disrespectful she was.

At the thought of this, a dark look flashed across Matthew’s eyes. Although he had hidden it very well, Bailey still keenly caught it.

“Second Uncle, are you here to chat with my father today? Then maybe my father doesn’t have much time to chat with you. He’s preparing to go to the airport and set off for Country A later,” Bailey interlocked her fingers and said calmly to Matthew.

Only then did Matthew remember his motive for coming today. He quickly hid his sinister emotions and said with a smile, “I’m here for this matter. Not really. It’s just that your father is still planning to go to that mine in Country S. I thought that since we’re unfamiliar with this place and in a foreign country, I was afraid that your father wouldn’t be safe, so I wanted to accompany him.”

Bailey was shocked. Only she and her father’s trusted subordinates knew that her father was going to Country S. Why did Second Uncle know about it?

In her previous life, at this time, Bailey had diverted her attention to preparing for the engagement. In addition, she trusted her second uncle, so she took the initiative to propose to her father to have her second uncle accompany him on his trip to Country S. In this life, she clearly did not say anything, so why did her second uncle know about this? Could it be that her father had Second Uncle’s people by his side?

Bailey quickly ran through the few people who knew her father’s schedule in her mind, but she couldn’t find any suspicious signs. Moreover, in her previous life, her father’s trusted subordinates were all chased out of the corporation by her second uncle without exception. They didn’t look like Matthew’s subordinates.

Bailey instantly became nervous. It seemed that other than Xavier and Second Uncle’s family, there should be other accomplices.

Bailey quickly calmed down and said with a smile, “Second Uncle, you’re quite well-informed!”

Matthew’s heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

A bait only has worth when it’s used to fish. Bailey chuckled. “Did my father tell you? Then it seems like my father has the same intention. However, this trip to Country S might only take place half a month later. Why don’t we meet up in Country S after my father is done dealing with matters in Country A?”

Hearing Bailey’s words, Matthew heaved a sigh of relief. He quickly nodded and said, “Yes, I found out from your father, but he said that this matter is rather secretive. Bailey, don’t tell your father about this later. I’ll discuss it with your father again.”

Bailey nodded and got up to go to her office to start the day’s work.

Just as Bailey had said, Jeremy’s meeting only ended at lunchtime.

Before Jeremy returned to his office, Bailey immediately pulled him back. After expressing her intentions, she allowed Jeremy to go back.

In the next half a month, Bailey had to investigate her father’s trusted subordinates.

As soon as she got off work, Bailey received a reminder from Xavier. “Bailey, tomorrow night, 320 Melsia Road. It’s a private restaurant. I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”

Bailey rejected him directly. “No need. Go over and order first. I’ll go over with my cousin later.”

Then, Bailey sent Julia a message. “Julia, I’ll pick you up for dinner tomorrow night. There’s something I want to ask you.”
