Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1269

Zuko asked, "Is this for me to review later?"

"No need," Janine pointed to the computer. "Just check it here!"

Zuko plugged the USB flash drive into the computer with a puzzled expression and opened it.

The data inside occupied a large part of the memory. At first, he thought they were ordinary reports, but the more he read, the more he sensed something amiss, especially with certain descriptions. Alarmed, Zuko paused, his finger hovering over the mouse. Then, he turned to Janine in surprise.

Janine shook her head and glanced at her watch. "Took you 35 minutes and 20 seconds to react? Pammy would've figured it out in 15 minutes!"

Zuko once again felt insignificant in the family.

He said seriously, "Grandma, are these records of the Harpers embezzling charitable organizations?"

Janine nodded with a solemn expression.

"When did you start investigating them?"

"Well..." Janine thought for a moment, not entirely sure.

Her business acumen was always strong. When she sensed something was amiss, she would immediately start investigating.

The Bakers and Harpers' ancestors had sworn to get along well for generations, but it was clear the Harpers had deviated from the original intent in Desiree's father's generation.

"My father taught me that investment is about discovering good projects, supporting the economy, and promoting the revitalization of the entire country." Janine looked at Zuko seriously. "Even though we're in a foreign country, the core doesn't change. The headquarters of the Baker Group is in Eropah, but we still put our resources into our country to help our nation."

Zuko agreed wholeheartedly. This was also why Janine's investment projects in Centrolis had increased recently.

On the other hand, the Harpers only wanted to amass wealth through venture capital, even taking advantage of charity work.

"Although our ancestors made a covenant, the Bakers have principles!" Janine said seriously. "We won't form an alliance with such greedy and shameless people!"

"Grandma..."

Janine smiled lightly. "The other Bakers are afraid of damaging the relationship between the two families, so they're unwilling to step forward. But I'm different. I believe that the real sinners are those who harm the people's interests, not those who damage the relationship between families.

"If no one dares to confront this festering sore, then I don't mind being that person!"

As Lina analyzed the data all night, she listened to Zuko's admiration for his grandmother. Finally, she glanced at him and asked, "Based on the materials Grandma Janine gave you, where is the welfare home sponsored by the Harpers located?"

Zuko stared at her innocently.

"The first line of the text says it's in Soastal!" Lina sighed helplessly while Zuko chuckled and leaned in with his hand on her shoulder.

"Lina."

"What?"

"It's great to have you."

This statement came straight from the heart, completely sincere.

Lina temporarily forgave him for his silliness and smiled as she asked, "What should we do next?"

Zuko threw the question back at her. "You tell me."

"I wouldn't dare," Lina teased with a changed voice. "Zuko... she's your childhood buddy. How could I dare to mess with her?"
