Chapter 401
“Of course I’m free. It’s rare for you to invite me out. Even if I were busy, I’d make time. How about I pick you up from the hospital at six sharp p>
“Alright, it’s a date p>
Hanging up, Sienna checked her watch. It was already a quarter past five.
She immediately instructed her staff to book a private room at The Riverside Bistro.
She then hurried back to the hospital, quickly freshened up, and wrapped up her work.
Barely forty minutes later, the sky had grown dark.
When she walked out of the hospital entrance, a black sedan was already parked quietly by the curb.
The window rolled down, revealing Maloney’s handsome, gentle profile.
He was a humble gentleman, always polite and never crossing the line.
He personally got out to open the door for Sienna, his demeanor elegant and proper.
The ride was quiet and smooth.
They arrived at a private room in The Riverside Bistro. The atmosphere was elegant and secluded, completely isolated from the noise outside.
After taking his seat, Maloney looked at the composed woman across from him with a hint of pleasant surprise in his eyes.
“Honestly, I’m quite surprised you reached out to me for dinner p>
Sienna smiled. “I promised to treat you ages ago, but I kept putting it off p>
A faint smile graced Maloney’s lips. He relaxed, studying the woman across from him for a few seconds before speaking softly.
“A lot has happened recently. You must be exhausted p>
Maloney’s gaze was tender. “I barely see the people at Sterling Manor a few times a year. We aren’t close, so it’s hard for me to comment p>
The “not close” he mentioned was likely referring to Celeste Carlyle.
Sienna kept a faint smile, quietly listening to him.
“But I’ve always believed you had Grandpa’s best interests at heart p>
Maloney paused, the warmth in his eyes deepening. “I have news about that money-laundering account I promised to look into for you p>
Sienna’s fingers tightened around her water glass, a wave of excitement instantly washing over her.
This matter had been stalled for a long time.
So long that she had almost given up hope.
Seeing the excitement in her eyes, Maloney smiled slightly and handed her a business card from his pocket.
Sienna quickly took it.
It only had one name on it, seemingly a senior executive at some financial firm in Zurich.
Luna Lennox had only managed to find out that this account was the same one used to hire the men who kidnapped her.
But there were no clues as to who was behind it.
Maloney worked incredibly fast!
“He’s in Zurich, which makes things complicated,” Maloney said. “My. people haven’t been able to dig up his full background, yet.” his p>
It was true that operating in Zurich wasn’t easy.
But she was already grateful that Maloney had found this much.
Sienna hurried to say, “That’s okay, Maloney. Just finding this guy is a huge help.
Now that we have a lead, tracking him down should tell us who he’s working for p>
“I’m glad I could help.” Maloney nodded with a faint smile.
“I’ve lived abroad for years and rarely come back. My ties with the Sterling family’s internal affairs are thin.
Jarred practically handles everything, big and small p>
Maloney’s tone was gentle and sincere, tinged with apology. “I couldn’t help you much, but kept your request in mind, and at least there’s a result p>
Saying that, he took out his phone and forwarded the man’s detailed address and itinerary to Sienna.
“Make sure you take people with you when you go. Do not go alone p>
Looking at the address on her screen, Sienna felt deeply moved.
Her eyes sparkled with genuine gratitude as she spoke from the bottom of her heart, “I know. Thank you so much Maloney. This is a yourse massive help.
