Luna Nash, who was floating beside her, was gritting her teeth, looking like she wanted to rush over and tear the woman to shreds.
Jane Sterling calmed Luna Nash down.
"Don't panic. I'm here."
With that, she went right up to the door and leaned against it, trying to eavesdrop.
"Don't bother. This door is soundproofed. You won't hear a thing."
As Luna Nash spoke, Jane Sterling's face fell.
She composed herself, then looked at Luna with curiosity.
"What exactly is in this file? It's really heavy."
Jane had been carrying these documents the whole way and was only now realizing how much they weighed. It was a thick stack, and her hand was starting to ache.
Hearing this, Luna looked a little embarrassed.
"Right after my dad passed away, the moment I got the news, I paid a hefty sum to a private investigation firm to look into things. I had the report in my hands, but before I even had a chance to read it, that woman pushed me down the stairs."
Jane Sterling wiped the sweat from her forehead.
'Got it.'
'So she doesn't even know what's in here, does she?'
Looking at the situation, Jane still believed that to win this battle, you had to know your enemy.
Without another word, she tore open the large envelope.
Stepping into a nearby corner, she began to examine the contents carefully.
"Whoa!"
Jane's eyes widened. She shot a teasing look at Luna Nash.
Hearing her, Luna drifted back from the transparent glass window to Jane's side, perching on her shoulder to look at the documents.
"Holy shit! How could she be so shameless?!"
DNA Match: 49%!
Conclusion: Not biological father and son!
"Fuck, that bitch!"
Luna instantly flew into a rage.
The entire investigation had been entrusted to a top-tier private firm, and the report was extremely detailed.
It ranged from major findings like the DNA test results to smaller details, like photos of the woman meeting secretly with another man.
Even though the photos were taken at night, in secret, and in a remote location...
...the PI firm still managed to get them. It seemed the money was well spent.
Jane examined them closely. The photos had all been enlarged and enhanced for clarity.
She could just make out that the woman in the photos was the same one currently in the conference room.
But the man... Jane didn't recognize him. His face was blurry.
"Have you seen this man before?"
Luna, still beside her, quickly took a few deep breaths.
She drifted over and leaned in to look closely at the photos.
"Huh? Why does this man look a little familiar?"
Although the photos were enhanced, they must have been taken from a great distance, as they were still somewhat blurry.
Luna murmured to herself as she looked, stroking her chin in thought.
Jane put the photos away.
"This is it. Let's go in now before we miss our chance."
Now that she knew what the files contained, Jane felt a surge of confidence.
She quickly gathered her things and stood at the conference room door.
Just then, through the transparent glass, Luna was pressed up against the window from the outside.
She saw the balding man inside waving some document, seemingly making an announcement.
Luna started to panic.
"Hurry, hurry, go in! Give them everything you have!"
BANG! Jane kicked the conference room door open with imposing force.
Everyone inside turned in unison, their eyes fixed on the sudden intruder.
The woman at the head of the table jumped at the sound and turned to glare at Jane with a hostile expression.
"Who are you?"
Jane was all bravado. She looked at the middle-aged men before her and brandished the file in her hand.
"Who I am isn't important. What's important is that this woman is a liar, and you can't hand the Nash family's assets over to her!"
At that moment, a distinctly balding man standing beside the woman stared menacingly at Jane.
Though shocked, he didn't forget to call for security.
"Security! Security! How could you let just anyone in? Don't you know what day it is?!"
With that, he turned back to Jane.
"Miss, please leave. We're in a meeting. If you continue to obstruct our official business, we have the right to call the police!"
Luna drifted to Jane's side and whispered to her.
"That man is my father's older brother. My uncle, Zane Nash."
"The mistress's name is Mia Miller."
...
Jane calmly took in Luna's information, her eyes scanning the people in the room.
Besides the woman and the man next to her...
...the rest were all shareholders of the company, major or minor.
Luna's father had been the chairman of the company, and any change in share ownership required the consent of all shareholders.
That made today's meeting especially important.
Seeing that Jane was ignoring him, Zane Nash's expression grew even more displeased.
He bellowed toward the door.
"Security! Security! Where's security? What the hell are you paid for? An intruder broke in, and you didn't even know?! I'll have you all fired!"
"My uncle has a terrible temper and is completely useless... That's why my dad just gave him a do-nothing job at the company."
Luna watched the two of them with a wry expression.
"I never would've thought he'd be so friendly with the mistress."
Jane spoke languidly.
"No need to shout. Why don't you all take a look at what I have in my hand? It won't be too late to have security throw me out after that."
Zane Nash's face twisted with fury.
"Hmph, I suggest you leave right now. Otherwise, you can wait for the police to come and arrest you!"
Seeing Jane enter, the woman at the head of the table couldn't stop picking at her fingers, clearly nervous.
She seemed extremely wary of what Jane was holding. She and Zane Nash exchanged a quick, subtle glance.
This made Zane Nash shout for security with even more agitation.
Everyone present was a veteran of the business world.
The shareholders seated around the table were now somewhat puzzled by Zane Nash's furious outburst.
"Hold on. Don't call security just yet. Let's hear what the young lady has to say."
A man with salt-and-pepper hair but a kind demeanor stood up.
He walked over and closed the conference room door, shutting out the noise.
Now Zane Nash was starting to panic.
"This... Director Lawson, don't listen to this girl's nonsense! We don't even know who she is. We should just have security call the police and get her out of here. We can't let her derail our important business today!"
Jane saw his desperation and fixed her sharp gaze on him.
The more she looked, the more she found him... vaguely familiar...
'That's it!'
'The photos!'
'This man looks a bit like the figure in the photos. Combine that with the subtle glances I just saw him exchange with Mia Miller...'
'I get it now.'
