Chapter 370 Cancel the Deal
Raymond held Paige and said. "Once you finish handling the matters at the Universe Group branch here, we'll shift our focus to finding the clues about the secret funds. Over the years, I've also gathered some clues. It's just that the timing hasn't been right, so I haven't taken any action."
Raymond continued, "On one hand, I was afraid that the news might leak and attract the Russell family and the Hamilton family to fight over it. On the other hand, I was worried that even if we found a few clues, we wouldn't be able to secure the secret funds in a short time. It might be better to live peacefully as we are now."
Paige suddenly looked up. "You have other clues?"
Raymond nodded, "Last time, didn't you see that document in the Carnegie Manor in Northwind?"
Paige covered her mouth. "All hidden in the documents?"
Raymond nodded, "Finish your current tasks first. This matter can't be rushed! Today, Emory and Jenny also showed up, which means the Russell family and the Hamilton family are getting restless. Over the years, they must have been constantly thinking about finding the secret funds and then eliminating each other. Because the secret funds are so hard to find, they have allowed the Ellison family to exist in this way."
No matter what, the Ellison family was once one of the five major families. Even though their current strength can't compare to the past, they are still unmatched by other ordinary families below the five major families.
Such an existence could slightly balance the fierce war between the Russell family and the Hamilton family.
Paige also understood that this was her leverage to negotiate with the Russell family and the Hamilton family.
It was simply because the greed of the Russell family and the Hamilton family has grown stronger, and this was something no one can change.
And Paige, surviving in the cracks, must make good use of such contradictions.
The two lay in bed talking for a long time before finally falling into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, Pearl had already brought some of Paige's daily necessities.
Bradley, who usually wakes up early, looked energetic after his morning exercise in the garden.
Recently, he has also become increasingly busy.
These years of recuperation were partly to keep a low profile and partly to train Louis to be independent. Now that he was back, he naturally had to take charge of everything.
When Pearl arrived, she greeted Bradley respectfully.
After all, this was Ms. Ellison's biological grandfather.
Bradley looked at Pearl with satisfaction, admiring Wesley's good judgment.
The person chosen for Paige was indeed excellent.
"Ms. Southern, you come here so early?" Bradley smiled, and Pearl nodded as she walked over to him.
"Mr. Bradley Carnegie, I'm here to deliver some items for Ms. Ellison." Pearl replied.
Bradley said, "There's no need to trouble yourself. The house has everything, and Raymond has prepared everything for her."
Pearl said, "It's my duty to be prepared. By the way, have Ms. Ellison and Mr. Raymond Carnegie woken up?"
Bradley smiled, "They're still sleeping in. Ms. Southern, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Since you're here, join me for breakfast."
Pearl, who had woken up early and hadn't had breakfast, was reminded of the top-notch chefs of the Carnegie family and smiled as she nodded.
She handed the items to the servant and followed Bradley to the dining room.
Unexpectedly, just as they sat down, Paige and Raymond came downstairs, holding hands.
Pearl immediately stood up. "Ms. Ellison."
Paige asked, "So early?"
Pearl nodded, "Yes, I brought some of your usual items and also to report on work."
Paige gave Pearl a second look.
There wasn't anything urgent at the company that needed reporting, was there?
Paige quickly realized that Pearl must have gathered information about last night's party after she left.
She wondered if Lily had made any progress.
Although Paige had her suspicions about Francesca, as she fit the criteria, she wasn't one to jump to conclusions based on personal feelings.
After all, there were many middle-aged women at the party last night who fit the criteria.
Who knew if there might be a real 'sponsor' among them?
But this wasn't something that needed to be rushed.
With everyone present and breakfast served, this was the first meal she had with Bradley after recognizing him.
So Paige didn't want to spoil the mood.
Having breakfast with family had always been a beautiful fantasy of hers.
Although she used to imagine having breakfast with Luna and Margaret when she was little.
Now, it was with Raymond and Bradley.
Sometimes, fate was fair. It took some things from your life but gave you others in return.
Although they might not be perfect, it filled some gaps.
At least, Paige believed that Raymond and Bradley would never abandon her again.
The Carnegie family seemed to never neglect their stomachs, no matter the circumstances.
Even a simple breakfast was meticulously planned and prepared by top chefs.
Raymond kept serving Paige various delicious dishes until she was full.
Throughout breakfast, Bradley wore a constant smile.
Because such days were rare for him.
When Louis was his grandson, things were fine when he was young. But after Louis was kidnapped and found, he became closer to Francesca and somewhat distant from others.
Perhaps because Bradley focused more on Raymond, Francesca and Louis thought he only favored Raymond. So, their family meals lacked such harmony.
Bradley's happiness was evident on his face.
Whenever Paige tasted something good, she would also serve some to Bradley.
Pearl watched with envy.
Since Paige told her that Raymond wasn't Bradley's biological son, Pearl had been genuinely happy for Paige.
After breakfast, Paige gave Pearl a look, then asked Raymond for the study, and the two went there directly.
Raymond also went to the study with Bradley.
In the study, Paige looked at Pearl and asked. "How about it? Any news from Lily?"
Pearl replied, "Lily has tried to approach Francesca and also attempted to contact the 'sponsor' at the party using her phone. But for some reason, the other party canceled the new deal with Lily!"
