Destined by One Night: The CEO's Pursuit

Chapter 200

Ch. 200 / 281 Apr 07, 2026

"But..." Julian sat up. "Malcolm, Marilyn is also buying the shares of the Chambers family. She also wants to find out her background and find her biological parents.

"Roland is also secretly helping her."

Malcolm nodded, "Roland has already met me and we talked about this matter. He knows that I am investigating Lynn's past. But we must first find out what happened to Lynn back then.

"We spent a lot of money and manpower at that time, but we couldn't find Lynn.

"It can only be that the Chambers family brought her far away, so we didn't find Lynn. We have to get this straight first."

Julian looked depressed when he heard that.

He said with a serious look, "Malcolm, how about you finance me to set up a detective agency?"

All of a sudden, the office fell into dead silence.

Malcolm looked at him with a cold expression with a sneer.

"You don't want to help me?" Malcolm's words make Julian's hair stand on end.

Julian quickly sat up straight. Looking at Malcolm's domineering look, Julian wanted to slap him.

"Malcolm, are you threatening me?" Julian was also angry. He had the ability to investigate many things and could open a detective agency.

"Go and investigate the matter! Don't mess with me, and don't get in my way." Malcolm glared at him.

"I'm almost tortured to death by you. Before you ask me to help you do anything, feed my stomach first, OK?" Julian looked depressed.

"I can't help you investigate it when I'm starving."

As Julian spoke, he grabbed the fork from Malcolm and opened the food box that Marilyn had brought over. Without looking at Malcolm's expression, Julian began to gobble the food.

Malcolm was so angry that he wanted to get the dishes in the box and smash them on Julian's head. This was what Marilyn had prepared for Malcolm.

Malcolm had already eaten some of them, but Julian didn't mind that.

Julian was too hungry.

"Julian, how could you be so cheeky?" Malcolm shouted angrily with a gloomy face, which startled Julian.

Julian swallowed the food and suddenly regretted what he had done.

He was so impulsive.

He had forgotten that he was eating Malcolm's food.

Julian looked at Malcolm embarrassingly, but suddenly, he sneered. He had thought of a way to distract Malcolm.

"By the way, I have already arranged the hotel for you tomorrow. It is next door to Marilyn and is by the beach of Summerford. By the way, it's also very close to the exhibition. Are you going to enjoy the trip with such a cold face?

"You'll scare Marilyn."

Malcolm was still looking at Julian with a gloomy face. His sharp eyes were eager to see Julian through.

Malcolm's gaze gave Julian the shivers.

"Oh, come on. Don't be so petty. I just ate some food. What's the big deal?" Julian was so angry that he wanted to leave.

But if he did, he would never set foot in this office again.

Julian had to endure it for the sake of his shares.

"Doesn't he feel guilty for bossy me around?" Julian thought.

But he quickly drove the idea away.

That was Malcolm, and Julian could not expect him to be grateful.

Julian had mixed feelings.

Malcolm got up and walked to his desk, saying in a low voice, "Eat it somewhere else. You annoyed me."

Hearing that, Julian picked up the box and walked towards another desk not far from him.

"Well, I will lose my appetite if I see your gloomy face," Julian said angrily as he walked.

Malcolm frowned slightly and made a phone call.

"Sergio, I want a cup of coffee without sugar!"

"Yes!"

Malcolm frowned. It was enough to have an uninteresting friend like Julian, but Sergio was the same.

Malcolm sighed, turned on his computer, and began to work.

He hadn't been in the office for two days, and now he had a lot of work to do.

Malcolm felt so tired.

Taking Marilyn and Dominic home, Malcolm could cultivate his successor.

Then he would have more time to be with Marilyn.

Malcolm was happy when he thought of it.

Not long later, Sergio came in with a cup of coffee and a straight face.

He placed the coffee in front of Malcolm elegantly.

Malcolm looked up at him and asked, "I heard from Julian that you have been investigating the people who have been secretly helping us. Have you found out what they are?"

"No," Sergio responded calmly.

"Can't you even find the address?" Malcolm was quite puzzled. Sergio had received special training. If even Sergio couldn't find out who those people were, it meant that they were more powerful than Sergio.

As Malcolm picked up the coffee, Sergio casually said, "I found an overseas address, but it might be fake. And the address of the virus that attacked the news agency was at Marilyn's."

Malcolm, who had just taken a sip of the coffee, was so shocked that he spat the coffee out.

Malcolm, who had never lost his composure like this, felt embarrassed.

He placed the cup on his desk back.

Malcolm raised his head to look at Sergio and asked word by word, "Sergio, tell me, where is the address?"

Sergio remained expressionless as he said, "At Marilyn's."

"Are you sure?" Malcolm lost his cool.

Marilyn was at the company at that time, and her computer technology would not be better than Sergio's.

Sergio narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes. I feel it is strange, too. But I met someone when I was reading at the bookstore yesterday."

"Who was it?" Malcolm was anxious.

Sergio liked to keep others in suspense.

Malcolm was vexed that Sergio didn't say it all at once.

"Marilyn's son."

"What?" Malcolm was confused.

"Why is my son involved in this?" Malcolm wondered.

"Which one?" Malcolm could not help but ask.

"Can't tell," Sergio answered honestly.

Malcolm resisted the urge to get angry. He carefully thought about it and remembered that Laverne and Dominic went to the bookstore yesterday, which meant that the person Sergio met at the bookstore was Dominic.
