Chapter 1741: Absence and Investigation

Three days later, Luke took Elena to Margarets high-end apartment.

Margaret, who had just come out of the elevator, was already waiting for them with a smile.

Luke didnt know whether to laugh or cry.

Who would meet guests at the elevator

But Margaret clearly didnt care.

Elena didnt care either.

She hugged Margaret with a smile and showed her two bottles of red wine.

Margaret usually didnt drink, nor did she care about the quality or price of alcohol.

After confirming that there was red wine, she looked at the food box that Luke was carrying.

“Is it yogurt cake”

Luke nodded.

“Its chocolate and strawberry.

How does that sound”

Margaret nodded quickly, as if she was afraid that if she said she didnt like it, Luke would never bring his cake again.

Seeing that Elsa had arrived early, Luke greeted her with a smile and teased, “You have a lot of friends, huh Plus, shes a rich lady.

You came running for the party”

Elsa simply asked, “Wheres Selina”

Luke said, “Shes busy with some work.”

Elsa narrowed her eyes at him.

“Should I call her and ask her what shes doing”

Luke shrugged.

“Sure.”

Surprised, Elsa really did call Selina.

“Hey, when are you going to have your party Oh, no, Im not in a hurry… What are you doing Work Okay, bye.”

After hanging up, she looked at Luke, who was leisurely sipping his coffee.

She couldnt help but give him a thumbs up.

“Youre really capable.”

Luke chuckled.

“Youre the one who gave me this commission.

Do you think Selina doesnt know”

Elsa chuckled and looked at Elena, who was examining the cake in the food box with Margaret.

“Does your companion know why youre here”

Luke nodded calmly.

“Of course.”

Elsa clenched her fist and tapped her forehead.

“Fine, Dustins advice was right.

I was wrong.

I shouldnt worry about your personal life.”

Luke looked at her sympathetically.

“The boss is already married.”

Elsas hand froze.

Luke made things worse.

“Hes no longer a lonely middle-aged man, so he wont rebel against society like you.”

“Shut up.” Elsa grabbed the apple that was on the table and threw it at him.

Wasnt he implying that she didnt have a boyfriend

Luke caught the apple and tossed it back at her.

“Im just being polite.

Isnt it normal to show care and concern for each other”

Elsa snorted and decisively dropped the unfriendly topic.

“Are you confident about this job”

Luke took another sip of his coffee and replied casually, “Lets talk after I meet Haley.

Im not a relationship consultant.

I dont care about the relationship between the sisters; Im just checking to see that theyre not in danger.”

Elsa was relieved to hear that.

Detective agencies always destroyed relationships.

The chances of a fallout happening increased rapidly when most family matters were taken to a detective agency.

Even if the main factor was the problem between the two parties involved, the agency was definitely an expert at adding fuel to the fire.

But Elsa wasnt worried about Margaret at all.

She just wanted her friend to realize one thing: Sisters couldnt be together forever.

Haley was five years older than Margaret, and was already 29.

In society, it was normal for a 39- or even 49-year-old not to get married, but there werent many 29-year-olds who werent obsessed with work.

A strong commitment to work could lead to a promotion and higher pay, and some people enjoyed it.

Haley was clearly an ambitious woman.

If she didnt work hard now, would she wait until she was 40 or 50 years old

There was some truth to the saying, “If youre lazy in your prime, youll regret it in your old age.”

It had to be pointed out that most bigshots in specialized fields were under 30.

There were geniuses in Go or math who were even younger.

Haley had helped Margaret avoid being tracked down by the L.A.

gangs for the last two years before going back to a normal life.

Not everyone could be like Margaret, who had a billion in assets and blithely became an artist who didnt have to make money for the rest of her life.

As Margarets sister, Haley had already done a lot for her.

She couldnt be blamed for wanting to focus on her career.

Elsa had only asked Luke to come to confirm that the sisters werent in any danger.

For Luke, however, checking out the situation and explicitly promising to keep them safe were two different things.

Margaret, who had finished examining the “gifts,” came over with Elena.

The four of them chatted and laughed as they waited for Haley to come home.

However, after the feast which Haley ordered was delivered between 6 and 7pm, Haley herself had yet to show up.

They waited from 7 to 8pm, but Haley still didnt return home.

The atmosphere in the room turned heavy.

Margaret paced anxiously and called Haley every now and then, but nobody picked up.

Elsa gave him a meaningful look, and Luke nodded, then shook his head.

This meant that he was already investigating, and was telling her not to be hasty.

Luke quickly sent a message to Little Snail.

Although he hadnt thought much of Margarets request two days ago, he had still collected information on Haley.

He didnt need to look at previous info, and just looked at Haleys records from the past year or so.

Little Snail began to put together information on Haleys recent movements.

Haley hadnt switched jobs.

She had still been working as a psychiatrist at Kings Park Sanatorium for the past two years, but Luke discovered that the place had been renovated last year.

According to Margaret, Haley had been working overtime a lot since last year.

While the Clinton renovation company hadnt gotten the main engineering project for the hospital, it had still received a few related small projects.

From the engineering quotes, it was clear that the renovations cost a lot.

After all, the renovation company only did the smaller jobs, but they were very lucrative.

It wouldnt make sense for the sanatorium to spend money on minor things and save on the big project.

Luke checked the bank account and saw that the renovation project cost 12 million dollars, and that was for three months of work.

Luke raised an eyebrow.

Wasnt this too expensive How long and how many patients would it take to recoup the cost

The money would definitely be earned back.

After all, doctors in America made a lot of money, and psychiatrists were like lawyers: they were money-making tools.

But to invest so much money in a short period of time, and not for a complete rebuild of the sanatorium, wasnt a very smart move.

Few capitalists were stupid.

Even if they didnt understand anything, the professionals who worked for them would offer suitable suggestions.

So, exactly what did the sanatorium “renovate” in those three months

Seeing that, Luke had his Level 2 clone head to Kings Park Sanatorium on the west side of Brooklyn.
