Chapter 2887 Regina turned to face Nolan, plastering a conciliatory smile on her face, but it vanished the moment Nolan's phone rang, and she caught a glimpse of the caller ID flashing her father’s name.
“Why is he calling you again?” she asked, her voice laced with a hint of annoyance.
“How should | know, Ms. Tanner? Maybe you should head hand have a chat with your dad about what he’s done to drive his company into the ground,” Nolan replied with a dismissive tone.

“Just don’t pick up his calls, Nolan. | bet he’s just after more money. I'll talk to my dad. It wasn't this bad before, and he’s got a son to support.

“Waiting for Dad to caround and stop these shameless acts could take forever. I might as well start saving up and pay back what | can,” Regina muttered to herself while flipping through Domingo’s dossier.
She had nearly completed her investigation into his background, and over the years, his movements had becclearer.
