Chapter 1713

When Arabella left the hospital, she handed the island sale agreement Sean had signed straight to

Horace without even glancing at it.

The name of the other party meant nothing to her.

"What's up?" Arabella cut to the chase.

"I've sent some guys to the island to clear out the weeds and stuff, but there are some plants my crew

can't identify. I can't tell if they're weeds or herbs either. I've taken pictures and sent them to your

email."

"I'll check it out in a bit."

"Also, we've calculated the area planted with herbs and that yet to be planted, and also figured out the

sunlight exposure, soil composition, air humidity, and overall weather patterns. I've made spreadsheets

of all these data and sent them to you."

Arabella was surprised by his efficiency. "Good work," she said with a tinge of appreciation.

"It's no trouble at all. Working with you these past days has been invigorating—I'm doing what I love.

Plus, I've been in touch with Jack. He said he's just waiting for your go-ahead, and he'll personally

transport the herbs we need to plant here."

"I'll give him a timeline soon."

"There's something else." Horace continued with another update. "Just as what you predicted, the

surveillance cameras near the auction house on the night of Sam's death were tampered with to

different degrees. They need your touch to be restored. I've sent the files to your email."

"Alright, I'll handle it now."

After ending the call, Arabella pulled out her laptop and told Romeo, "I've got some work to do; you

take a break."

Romeo placed an assortment of snacks in front of her, watching her slender fingers flying over the

keyboard, typing a rapid succession of characters.

"Restoring surveillance? Let me do it." Romeo offered, "Have a bite and rest."

Arabella recalled the last time they teamed up to crack Carol's computer firewall. Romeo's hacking

skills were beyond question.

She handed him the laptop without hesitation.

Romeo took the laptop, settled on the couch to retrieve the data, while massaging her feet rested on

his lap occasionally. His gaze was locked on the screen as his fingers danced on the keyboard.

Arabella lounged on the couch, with her legs casually draped over his, and nibbled snacks from the

bag, while passing him a piece from time to time.

With this, Romeo's motivation soared. In no time, he had the surveillance restored and awaited her

praise.

"Quick work."

"With my fiancée watching, I've got to show off a bit."

Romeo enjoyed the snack she handed him, with a look of contentment on his face.

Arabella forwarded the surveillance to Horace, who nearly dropped his face mask in shock.

"Boss, you're way too fast. I was just doing a face mask, and I'm not even done yet."

"What's a big guy like you doing with a face mask??" Arabella teased in her message.

"Men need skincare too. Hold on, I'll call you back."

Horace continued his skincare routine while digging into the mystery of the black car and the person

who shot Sam.

Arabella knew that the results would come soon, so she discussed with Romeo, "I might need to step

out tonight or tomorrow for some business. I'll have people with me; it's not dangerous. You wait for me

at the hotel."

"Can I trust your people?"

"They're loyal."

"Then call me if you need help."

In Belloria, he had a network of influence hidden in the shadows, known to almost no one.

When necessary, they could quietly work for her and give her the extra push she needs.
