Chapter 715

When Jude found Seth, he was sitting by Southlake again.

Same old spot.

“If you’re that curious about what Noreen threw in there, I’ll hire someone to drain the lake so you can look for it.”

Even Jude felt helpless after saying that.

Not only did they not know what Noreen had thrown in, but even if they did, trying to

find it after five years was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

“Seth, where are you living now?” Jude had always been curious about this.

Jordan had said they needed to persuade Seth to undergo systematic psychological treatment as soon as possible.

But before that, they had to know his whereabouts to prevent him from doing anything extreme again.

“Why all the questions?”

Seth still refused to say.

Jude couldn’t force him, so he tried another approach. “Why don’t you come work at NoMore Corporation? It’s your company anyway. Since you’re back, I can finally give myself a break.”

“Not interested. Besides, the company is in your name. It has nothing to do with me.”

Seth remained listless, showing no interest in anything.

No matter how much Jude pleaded, he couldn’t persuade Seth.

In the end, he still had no idea where Seth was living.

On Monday, someone from InnoCore came to Winrich to deliver a progress report.

But it wasn’t Carman; it was Mrs. Holt.

Also known as Jasmine, the current vice president of InnoCore.

Noreen’s memory of Jasmine was from when she was Carman’s secretary.

Back then, she had been a very proper person.

It was impossible to reconcile that image with the arrogant woman before her now.

“What is this horrible coffee? Is it instant? I only drink freshly ground coffee.”

Before Noreen even entered the conference room, she could hear Jasmine making things difficult for the secretary.

Sophia whispered to Noreen, “Soon after Jasmine married Mr. Holt, she gave him a son. Her position was solidified, and she was promoted to Vice President of Innocore. Since then, she’s become arrogant and incredibly difficult to deal with.”

“But it was always Mr. Holt who came for the reports, so we never had much contact with her. I don’t know what’s different this time. It’s strange that she’s the one handling the first progress report since your return to Winrich.”

When Noreen entered the conference room, Jasmine reined in her arrogance and greeted her politely, “Ms. Gilmore, long time no see.”

Noreen motioned for her to sit and opened her laptop, getting straight to business.

It was clear that Jasmine had come prepared. Her performance in professional matters was commendable.

There were occasional minor slip-ups, but they were within an acceptable range.

However, as the report was nearing its end, Jasmine suddenly mentioned, “Ms. Gilmore, you did provide InnoCore with a great deal of help back then, but innocore has also made a lot of money foryou over the years. You could say that InnoCore contributes more than half of Winrich’s revenue.”

Noreen leaned back in her chair, waiting for what Jasmine would say next.

Jasmine leaned forward, her

intentions clear and utilitarian. “I heard from my Carman that the original share ratio was decided privately between the two of you. You provided the capital, he provided the technology. That arrangement was reasonable back then, but now, it’s somewhat unfair.”

“So, you want control of InnoCore?” Noreen didn’t beat around the bush, cutting straight to her true motive.

Jasmine probably hadn’t expected Noreen to be so direct. She faltered for a moment, her expression a little unnatural.
