Comeback Of The Adored Heiress

Chapter 1246:

“Of course! They are all here.”

Eaton gestured toward the stack of documents sprawled across the table, his demeanor radiating utmost gravity as he began his briefing. Dismantling the Perkins family’s influence wasn’t merely Andrew’s mission—it represented years of Eaton’s unfulfilled aspirations.

Despite his position as Estresa’s highest administrative executive, he found himself powerless against such deeply entrenched local tyranny. Throughout his tenure, Eaton had mounted countless campaigns against the Perkins family’s corruption. Each attempt, no matter how carefully orchestrated, had crumbled before their formidable defenses. Now, watching a high-ranking official specifically dispatched to untangle this web of corruption, Eaton could barely contain the surge of hope in his chest.

He stood beside Andrew, anticipation building with each passing moment. Yet as Andrew continued to pore over the files in silence, Eaton’s initial enthusiasm began to waver.

Chief was an outsider, confronting the labyrinth of Perkins family dealings for the first time. His prolonged silence while reviewing the documents stirred an unsettling thought in Eaton’s mind—perhaps even Chief would find himself stymied by the Perkins family’s iron grip on Estresa.

After thinking for a while, Eaton said, “Chief, the Perkins family’s issues can’t be resolved in a day or two. Although they act arrogantly, they don’t leave any evidence. Even if we want to pursue the investigation, we don’t have enough grounds.”

As he spoke, helplessness and frustration filled his heart.

Andrew had just finished reading the last page of the files when he heard Eaton’s words. He looked at Eaton and nodded slightly.

“The fact that we couldn’t find evidence before doesn’t mean we can’t do it in the future. Mr. Rachford, do you understand what I mean?”

Eaton met Andrew’s dark eyes, and he was shocked when he realized the implications of Andrew’s words.

Andrew meant they shouldn’t look for evidence. Instead, they should just let the Perkins family make more mistakes and then use those as evidence.

Eaton was stunned. It was as if he couldn’t believe these words came out of Andrew’s mouth. Obviously, Andrew didn’t seem like someone who would say such things.

Andrew looked at Eaton with furrowed brows.

“What? Do you think it’s inappropriate?”

Eaton quickly shook his head. Actually, Andrew’s words gave him a different perspective. He had been trying to find evidence to punish the Perkins family but had never succeeded.

The situation with the Perkins family was special. That was why a special task force had been assigned to deal with them this time, aiming to convict the Perkins family.

Needless to say, Andrew deserved his rank. His way of thinking was completely different from ordinary people like them.noveldrama

So, Eaton asked, “Chief, what do you think we should do?”

Andrew looked at Eaton and said, “I heard that the Old area in the west of Estresa is preparing for renovation. Is it true?”

Eaton was momentarily stunned, his confusion evident.

“Yes, Chief, that’s correct. Do you have any instructions?”
