Chapter 439
If someone found this order, they would be doomed.
The boss was sweating profusely. “There were too many documents at that time, and I accidentally placed the order in the wrong file. It won’t happen again.”
Nolan asked, “Has anyone else seen it? If there is deal with them before they have a chance to talk.”
The boss quickly responded, “Gotcha. I’ll make sure there are no accidents!”
Nolan scoffed. “Find it quickly and call me back.
The call ended. The boss sighed in relief, but his hands continued searching. Not long after that, he found the order and grabbed it, leaving hurriedly. The room plunged back into darkness.
At that moment, the hand covering Jeremy’s mouth finally let go.
Jeremy crawled out from under the desk and looked at the person hiding in there. A young
man crawled out after him.
“Who are you?” Jeremy looked at him warily.
The man smiled. “Don’t worry. We’re not enemies.”
Jeremy understood. “Do you work for the South Regent?”
“Bingo.” The man started searching through the files.
“Why did you help me?” Jeremy asked. “Also, what are you looking for? What was he searching for earlier?”
“I helped you because you’re useful to us,” the man replied. “I’m looking for the order form related to this company’s transaction with foreign forces.”
Jeremy froze. “That actually exists?” If he could get that order form, his mission would be completed.
“Hurry up and help me look,” the man said.
The two rifled through the archive but found nothing even after more than ten minutes.
The man frowned. “Did he also come here for the order? We were too late.”
Jeremy clenched his fists, feeling that it was a shame. He was so close to securing crucial evidence.
“Let’s get out of here.” The man left the archive, and Jeremy quickly followed him.
Jeremy walked beside him. “Was it you who told me that Ethan was at Drakthorn Ridge?”

“Yes.” The man looked at him. “Did you get any valuable leads from Lord Rivers? Or learn any useful techniques?”
Jeremy fell silent. He did not get any information because of Stephen.
“Judging by your face, it seems you failed.” The man sighed. “You’re not bad, but you chose to follow the wrong person. Of all the people you could follow, why Stephen Quinn? He’ll be the cause of your death one day.”
Jeremy frowned. Stephen was his benefactor. He would not allow anyone to speak ill of Stephen like that. “What did he do to you? Why do you dislike him so much?”
The man sneered. “Everyone knows what Stephen did to Riveria. Ethan Rivers managed Riveria well, but Stephen was jealous of Ethan’s achievements. He framed Ethan, locked him up, and then seized control of the province. Look at it now. Several cities in Riveria are in chaos, and its GDP has plummeted.
“The funniest thing is that he’s still heavily relying on the Spencers who are a red flag He can’t distinguish right from wrong, so he sent you to investigate for him.”
Jeremy froze. It was the first time he heard of such a thing. Did Stephen really do all that? He locked Ethan up not because Ethan embezzled funds but because he envied his achievements! All the problems in Riveria now were because of Stephen!
Jeremy suddenly felt that Ethan was truly a gentle person to be able to speak to him so calmly. It was no wonder the foreign forces were all waiting for him.
Jeremy suddenly found it ridiculous. The people abroad worshiped Ethan, but in Riveria, he was cursed and insulted. Some even wanted him dead.
