Half-Hearted: Mr. Sinclair, Stop the Act!-Chapter 63: Did Caleb Sinclair and Vivian Nash Get Back Together?
Sienna Monroe listened and got straight to the point, "June Ewing has a niece named Cecilia York. She’s 22 years old this year and belongs to the pure and pretty type. She came to Imperial City two months ago, having just graduated this year. She’s been attending a secret training class at Radiance Beauty Spa for two months. Harrison Hayes was selected for her by June Ewing, and last night they already staged a ’hero saves the damsel in distress’ story. I think Harrison now has an impression of her."
"Tonight around eight, she’ll have another arranged encounter with Harrison at DE Club to deepen his impression. This is to lure Harrison into pursuing her actively, but in reality, the initiative is in her hands."
Her tone was calm and steady as she revealed everything she knew in one breath, "I think June Ewing believes that Harrison’s mind is unstable now, especially after going through such a major incident. Having Cecilia York by his side at this time is like rain after a long drought for him."
Sebastian Prescott slightly furrowed his brow, grasping the key point, "How does June Ewing know Harrison’s whereabouts?"
After Harrison Hayes was acquitted, he stayed at home for a month, unwilling to see people or speak, only talking a few words with Mrs. Hayes and himself.
To him, that incident was a heavy blow.
He had been a playboy for 25 years, living in luxury and ease, and overnight he became a despised murderer.
During that time, the Hayes Family’s reputation was in tatters, and all publicly traded company stocks plummeted. His family couldn’t hold their heads high in front of other high-society families.
For the family, it was both a shame and a stain.
Those few months in prison were the toughest and most unforgettable days of his 25 years.
Sebastian feared the knot in Harrison’s heart would grow, so he suggested to Mrs. Hayes to hire a psychologist.
In these past few days, Harrison had started leaving his room, stepping outside, and slowly accepting the eyes of outsiders. The group of playboy friends he used to hang out with were also taking good care of him, inviting him to social gatherings.
Yet in just four days, June Ewing could already grasp Harrison’s daily routine?
Sienna Monroe thought of this too. She shook her head and casually explained, "I don’t know about that. I accidentally overheard a conversation between June Ewing and someone else, and found out after investigating."
"In Imperial City, the Hayes Family holds a high status, with a wide range of family industries. In Harrison’s current situation, it’s not appropriate for him to have such a scheming and purposeful girl around him; it will only push him further into an abyss."
Sebastian rubbed his thumb and forefinger, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you found any new leads on the underground operations of Radiance Beauty Spa?"
"I’ve gathered all the employee information on the underground operations, photographed part of it, but it’s enough to serve as evidence. Moreover, the targets for those girls in the training class should all be selected by June Ewing for them. As for once they succeed, or the ones like Mrs. Vaughn or Mrs. Landor who successfully married into wealthy families, how both parties collaborate or trade and what demands they have, I’m not sure yet."
Sebastian pondered for a moment, "Send me a copy of those employee files you photographed. This matter is a good opportunity, I’ll remind Harrison and plan a response. Ideally, you can give her an illusion of marrying into the Hayes Family. Only then can she fully trust Harrison and let her guard down."
Sienna nodded, "Then I’ll see if I can find a way to get the rest of the planning documents on the underground operations."
"How many shares do you have in Radiance Beauty Spa?"
"23."
"Find an opportunity to transfer those shares to Caleb Sinclair."
Sienna was taken aback.
As long as she remains a shareholder of Radiance Beauty Spa, she’ll always be connected to the underground operations.
After all, every six months, the dividends are transferred from Radiance Beauty Spa’s account to her card, even if she doesn’t use it, it doesn’t prove anything.
She had thought about this before; the last time was due to tax evasion by Radiance Beauty Spa, giving her a chance to throw this hot potato away. Now, if she wants to remove her identity as a shareholder, no matter the reason, June Ewing will suspect it.
So, she has been holding back.
She asked calmly, "Does the share transfer require a public notice?"
Sebastian reminded, "Generally, corporate share transfers don’t require a public announcement; you only need to reach a share transfer agreement and then legally apply for a change of registration with the commercial administration. But June Ewing must not know about this before it’s done."
Sienna breathed a slight sigh of relief, "Of course."
But what excuse could she use to transfer the shares to Caleb Sinclair?
Caleb is a thoughtful and sensitive person; if she brings it up, he might speculate in various ways.
It’s a challenging task.
The tea in the cup had already lost its warmth. After pondering for a moment without any results, Sienna stood up, "I’ll trouble Lawyer Prescott to remind Harrison. If there’s anything, feel free to contact me. I won’t disturb you any longer."
Sebastian nodded faintly.
As Sienna walked past him, a breeze carried the faint scent of jasmine, subtly entering his nostrils.
She had changed her perfume again.
Sebastian’s eyes flickered slightly, suppressing the faint wavering within them. He rose and walked to his desk, picked up his phone, and dialed Harrison’s number.
When the call connected, he asked, "Want to have dinner together tonight?"
Harrison was a bit surprised, then laughed, "Am I in such demand now? Taka Ikeno also called me today, inviting me to hang out at DE Club tonight. Why don’t you come too?"
DE Club?
Just as Sienna had said.
Sebastian’s gaze dimmed.
"When did Taka call you?"
"Just a moment ago; I just hung up with him, and then you called."
Sebastian frowned.
Harrison decided to go to DE Club because of Taka’s invitation. How did Sienna know in advance?
Not hearing anything from him, Harrison simply asked, "Sebastian, why don’t you join us tonight?"
"What time?"
"Seven-thirty, I guess."
"Alright."
"So you agreed? I’ll wait for you tonight then."
After hanging up, Sebastian brought up Sienna’s information from his computer, his eyes clouded with uncertainty.
＊
Around six-thirty in the evening, Caleb Sinclair and Sienna Monroe returned home. Auntie Miller had already prepared the meal.
The dishes were mostly light, with little oil and salt, and two soups were brewed.
The two of them washed their hands and sat down to eat.
Caleb peeled a shrimp for her and said, "Honey, I’ll need to go to Brenwood tomorrow. There’s a land auction for an old neighborhood there the day after tomorrow. The location isn’t bad, so I’m planning to check it out."
Sienna paused while drinking soup, her heart inexplicably speeding up.
Since Caleb and Vivian Nash broke up, aside from that time in the hospital, he doesn’t seem to have contacted Vivian ever since.
Now, he suddenly says he’s going on a business trip...
Is he really on a business trip or just using it as an excuse to accompany Vivian?
The feeling of jealousy, which had been buried deep inside, slowly began to seep out again.
Sienna looked up at him, slowly smiling, "Alright. How many days will you be gone?"
"If all goes well, about five days. If we don’t get the bid, three days."
From the way he spoke, it sounded like he was really going on a business trip.
But Sienna was no longer willing to trust him.
She couldn’t discern which of his words were true and which were false.
She took a sip of the soup, forcefully suppressing the bitterness in her mouth, and softly replied, "Okay."
After dinner, Sienna went upstairs, intending to go to the study to handle some work. As she walked into the study, her phone beeped.
[Vivian has been trying hard to win Caleb back these days. In the coming days, she’ll send Caleb videos of herself in sexy nightwear every day. Caleb won’t be able to resist the temptation and will reconcile with her. His alternate WeChat password is sw0619.]
