“The pieces of this puzzling puzzle fit together too neatly. There must be an enigmatic puppeteer, pulling the
strings behind the curtain, manipulating Hurley and his affairs.”
Jolie’s eyes widened in surprise. “What on earth makes you say that?”
“Sure, Hurley has been trying to one-up the Fowlers, but he’s small-time. This Latest attack, though, is different.
He was aiming straight at Universe Group. It's clear someone was behind this.”
In her estimation, Hurley's assault was merely a diversion to distract attention away from the Fowlers and onto
Universe Group.
She deduced that Hurley was just a pawn in a larger scheme.

At the mention of his name, Loraine was a Little embarrassed.
She had already realized that Marco only possessed a genuine desire to lend a helping hand. Her own reaction,
however, seemed slightly exaggerated.
As Loraine wrestled with the dilemma of facing Marco, a resounding knock reverberated through the door and

At his words, a shadow loomed across Loraine’s face, a veil of darkness enveloping her features.

to him for no reason
“Hurley said that he only met Duran, who promised to give him a good storefront. He insisted on reading the
information of the storefront promised to give him before he agreed to Duran.”
Marco set the U disk loaded with information on the desk, sliding it to

Loraine inserted the disk into the laptop, sneering as she opened the file.
