"You're investigating him? Why? His reputation is excellent. He's a dedicated philanthropist who has donated to causes for orphans, the elderly, and the disabled all over the world. Medical care and environmental initiatives are also key projects for his foundation. This man is incredibly influential!" Evan Sterling said, perplexed.
"I have my reasons. Uncle… this can't get out. Can you use this recent incident as a pretext to quietly help me investigate?" 'I can't afford to tip him off,' Ivy thought. 'If Uncle Evan investigates, using the Silas Sterling Conglomerate's current issues as a cover, it won't arouse any suspicion.'
