Chapter 60 Ulterior Motive
The next day, I boarded the flight back to my hometown with Ava, I called Ivanna on the
plane to let her

know about my trip. I also emphasized the importance of completing the tasks I had
assigned her.
Every step of my plan had to be executed flawlessly. I told Ivanna that I had tracked
Matthew’s
whereabouts and asked her to keep an eye on him.
After ending the call, I held my phone tightly, battling the urge to make another call.
Ultimately, I took a
deep breath and turned off my phone.
I couldn’t get too close to that man.
Ava was excited the entire trip, but I reviewed my plan meticulously.
Atlas had told me to stay alert and that he would help me. Could this be his way of helping
me? I didn’t
want to ask him.
The early autumn in my hometown was chilly. I had not told my mother when I left so she

After landing, I took a taxi to the hospital, and my parents were overjoyed to see us. My
father’s condition
was good, but he had some facial paralysis, which made his speech awkward.
My heart ached, and tears welled up in my eyes. I had not seen my father in over two
years. His hair had
turned completely gray, as had my mother’s. My emotions were all over the place.
Ava’s enthusiasm amused my dad to no end. She danced around, constantly asking the
doctors to let us
go home.
I inquired about my father’s health and met with the doctor. The doctor agreed to release
him but gave
him medication and told him to take it on time.
We all went home that evening. Ava was too young to remember her last visit, so she
looked around wide-
eyed. She quickly adjusted, though, chatting nonstop and getting comfortable. My parents
were focused
entirely on Ava, leaving me to cook.
I went straight into the kitchen. My dad insisted on ordering takeout, but I told him not to
worry. I had
spent years serving that ungrateful family, so I was more than willing to cook for my
parents.
After a day there, I told my parents I needed to go to a steel window manufacturer in the
capital city. That
was the real reason I rushed back to my hometown.

She looked worriedly at me. I briefly explained that we had different priorities and that I
was prioritizing securing a project while he wasn’t. I never mentioned our relationship
issues.
My dad was very supportive. “Just go. We know what to say. We’ll tell him to call you if he

I advised against telling Ava too much because she was too bright.
In the capital city, it was pouring, and the autumn wind was cold. I recalled my first visit

BOO.
The company I was heading to didn’t work with Tanum Corporation. It was another
company I had
engaged with back when I came to Solaris. They were called Urban Builders.
This company was bigger than the one Tanum Corporation worked with and made better
quality products.
However, we missed the opportunity to work together because of an incident. It had
always haunted me.
Of course, few people knew about it. It was suppressed back then, and not even Matthew
knew.
They didn’t collaborate with Tanum Corporation because their pricing had always been too
high. Ultimately, Matthew chose Westridge Holdings to save costs and ensure profits.
After four years, I was back here, and the factory had expanded. However, the image of
four years ago
was still vivid, making it feel like I was in a different world.
I hesitated for a while, took a deep breath, and was determined to face my fear for my
future as well as
