Chapter 1525: 1525. Floating
Adam Jones furrowed his brows and remained silent.
Brayman, a newly listed industrial group from the past two years, has nothing in common with a century-old family enterprise like Auston, which focuses on drug research and development.
Why would Auston target Brayman for no reason?
To Auston, Brayman is like a kitten to a big tiger, having no reason at all to deal with Brayman.
Adam couldn’t comprehend this point. Before he could continue, Ethan White interjected:
"Not only that, but they’ve also extended their reach to the Campbell. The reason the Campbell hasn’t noticed yet is that their actions are not obvious."
If he hadn’t gone to investigate Jacob White, he wouldn’t have discovered Auston’s actions.
Not to mention Ethan, even Adam couldn’t figure out why Auston would target both Brayman and the Campbell.
If they were targeting just Brayman or the Campbell, it might be a coincidence, but targeting both at the same time is very likely directed at Elly.
But how could Elly be involved with Auston?
At this moment, Adam wasn’t in the mood to explore the reasons behind this. He simply looked at Ethan and asked:
"What else have you found?"
"Although Auston has been involved in these situations against Brayman and the Campbell, I found that there wasn’t any directive from Lisa Fefferman."
At this point, Ethan paused for a moment and continued, "So I suspect Auston is just being used as a smokescreen, and someone else is actually making the moves. But when I continued the investigation, the trail went completely cold, and I couldn’t find anything."
Adam didn’t understand Ethan’s methods, but back when his people couldn’t find anything on Ethan, he knew Ethan’s methods were far from simple.
If Ethan couldn’t find the person truly making the moves, then he might not be able to find them either.
But the comforting thing is that since Lisa didn’t get involved in this matter, it likely has nothing to do with the Fefferman Family.
It’s just that the other party has the ability to drag Auston into serving as a cover for them. Their power is not to be underestimated, or perhaps even exceeds that of Auston.
After a moment of contemplation, Adam gathered his thoughts and said:
"Leave this matter to me."
He rose from his seat, naturally lacking the inclination to sit and chat over coffee with Ethan.
"Thank you."
Before leaving, the usually haughty "trophy husband" Adam offered a rare word of thanks to Ethan before gracefully departing from the café.
Upon hearing Adam’s terse thanks, Ethan raised an eyebrow but wasn’t surprised.
It was only matters related to Elly that could prompt this high-and-mighty figure to come down from his pedestal.
Adam took Ethan’s words to heart, and after returning to the company, he immediately sent Robert Green to investigate Auston and, besides that, also to look into other members of the Fefferman Family.
Just as Ethan thought, he had no intention of telling Elly until the matter was thoroughly investigated, to spare her the worry.
Leanne Richards had been living days of unprecedented comfort and fame recently, for no other reason than that scumbag William Hall being thrown into jail, and her son taking control of the Hall Clan, she no longer had to live in constant fear of being replaced by that Fox Spirit, Mia Brown.
Nor did she have to endure being mocked behind her back like before.
And she didn’t have to see the faces of the Fox Spirit and her son.
Those who used to fawn over Mia Brown, hoping to curry favor with the Hall Clan, now all came to ingratiate and flatter her.
This unprecedented feeling made her somewhat float with gratification.
