Chapter 226 Doubts About Edmund "Edmund, what exactly are you trying to do?" Tiffany asked seriously, her expression stern.
Now that a fake "Leon" had appeared, it meant that Global Nexus Corporation was already planning something. If they didn't intervene in time, Tiffany feared other problems might arise. In the end, it might be too late to stop anything.
"It seems you're very eager to know." Edmund chuckled softly, his gaze shifting away from Tiffany, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"I can tell you, but even if you know, you won't be able to stop it, Miss Grey. Why not join Global Nexus Corporation? You might be in for a pleasant surprise." A surprise? Tiffany stared at Edmund, sensing there were mysteries about him she couldn't quite understand.
"If Global Nexus Corporation wantsto join, I should at least have a chat with your boss, right? I haven't seen your boss until now. How can I trust you?" Tiffany said, knowing that by asking to meet the boss now, Edmund would definitely agree.
"Alright, I'll contact the boss for you. If there's any news, I'll let you know." Tiffany nodded.
Then, the waiter brought the dishes, and Tiffany realized that Edmund had ordered all her favorite foods.
She looked at Edmund in surprise and asked, "How did you know these are my favorite dishes?" "It wasn't hard." Edmund smiled and personally served Tiffany sfood.
The rest of their meal was pleasant, and after they finished, Edmund offered to drive Tiffany home.
Before this, Tiffany hadn't told him where she lived. But he found Aiden's estate with precision.

Tiffany stood there for a long tuntil Leon's voice sounded behind her.
"Watching for so long, are you that reluctant to see him go?" Leon spoke with a cold face, a hint of displeasure in his tone.
Tiffany glanced back at him but didn't answer his question, silently walking into the living room.
Leon followed her, deliberately sitting at a distance from her.
Aiden chuckled, exposing Leon's true feelings.
"I remember someone was waiting outside early, worried about Miss Grey being alone.
He tried to go out several times, and it was hard to stop him..." Aiden stopped talking immediately when he received a warning look from Leon.
Leon turned his gaze to Tiffany and asked coldly, "Weren't you supposed to meet Lauren? Why did Edmund bring you back?" Tiffany cleared her throat and recounted her meeting with Edmund and what he had said.
Aiden's expression was quite animated, and he deliberately looked at Leon.
As expected, Leon's face was dark.
"Miss Grey, do you really believe what Edmund said?" Aiden asked the key question, smiling at Tiffany.
Tiffany shook her head.
"He said he was my childhood friend, but that has nothing to do with what I'm doing now. Besides, whether what he said is true or not, no one knows. He might have found out I had such a friend in childhood and used that story." Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey! Tiffany still had doubts about Edmund, so she said those things to make him lower his guard and keep him on the hook.
Hearing Tiffany's explanation, Leon's expression gradually softened.
"So, Miss Grey, you plan to go along with him until you meet the boss of Global Nexus Corporation and then decide what to do." "Exactly." Tiffany hadn't even met the boss yet. Agreeing without meeting would be too hasty.
"By the way, Aiden, can you check around that mall for me?" "I ran into the fake Leon there again today. I suspect his activity range isn't large, so maybe we can investigate." Aiden agreed immediately, finding Tiffany's analysis reasonable.
"I'll have someone check it out now. If there's anything else, you two can talk." Aiden deliberately left space for Leon and Tiffany, quickly leaving the living room.
In the living room, Tiffany remained silent, and Leon didn't say a word either.
After a while, Tiffany felt uncomfortable and got up to go upstairs.
Leon saw her move and opened his mouth to speak, but the words got stuck in his throat.
Aiden hadn't really left; he was peeking in from outside.
He thought that with him gone, the two would open up and talk. But it seemed the main issue wasn't him; it was Leon's stubbornness.
If Leon didn't speak or try to keep her, did he expect Tiffany to make the first move? Aiden sighed, realizing he could only help so much.

As night fell, Tiffany cdownstairs for dinner, and Leon happened to cout from next door. They both arrived at the dinner. table at the stime. This time, Leon was a bit more proactive, pulling out a chair for Tiffany, though his eyes looked away awkwardly. Just as Tiffany was about to thank him, she saw Leon sit down in the chair he had pulled out.
Not only was Tiffany stunned, but Aiden and Ronald, who had just arrived, were also momentarily surprised. Aiden almost choked on his drink. What was Leon doing? Tiffany felt a bit helpless and sat next to Leon.
Aiden rolled his eyes, unable to understand Leon.
The meal was incredibly awkward, but no one knew that Leon had initially intended to pull out the chair for Tiffany. However, he felt uncomfortable showing kindness to Tiffany, so when Aiden and Ronald looked over, he instinctively sat down.
By the the realized what he had done, it was too late.
Ronald's resentment towards him lasted from dinner until he went to bed.
Tiffany, on the other hand, had no emotional fluctuations. She was used to-Leon's indifferent behavior and En wasn't surprised by anything he did.
But that night, Leon couldn't sleep. Every the closed his eyes, he saw Tiffany's face.
In his memory, he seemed to see sblurry figures. But every the tried to see them clearly, they disappeared.
This thin layer of fog couldn't be lifted no matter what.
As for Tiffany, she gradually felt sleepy in bed, but her phone rang at that moment.
Tiffany fumbled under her pillow, found her phone, and saw a message from that person. She immediately opened it to read.
[You're getting closer to the truth, Tiffany. There are sthings I need to tell you. Let's meet tomorrow.]
