The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2738
Regina let out a long, drawn-out “Oh,” her brows knitting together in concern.
“But I just can't shake the feeling that Nolan isn't that kind of guy. Are we barking
up the wrong tree here? What if this plot of land really did just fall into the lap of
the Harris Group through legal procedures? Then our whole investigation is off
track, isn't it?”
The seasoned colleague glanced at her with a hint of disdain. “You're just too
green, kid. You haven't seen the shady side of this town yet. Maybe in your eyes,
the big boss of the Harris Group looks too young and dashing to be involved in
dirty deals, with plenty of cash to boot. But let me tell you, it's exactly because
he’s loaded that he can easily brush off any dirty business. Do you even know
how they got their wealth? And here you are, ready to vouch for his character.
You're a journalist, for heaven's sake. You should at least approach this with an
impartial heart! You've already got a soft spot for him — how on earth are you
going to uncover the truth?”
Regina's frown deepened. She had to admit, her few brief encounters with Nolan
had instilled a sense of trust in the man, but she wasn’t about to play favorites. If
she was being accused of misplaced trust, then the colleague was equally guilty
of undue criticism.
His sarcasm was palpable, insinuating that Nolan's money was all tainted.
Just then, another reporter nudged her colleague’s leg. “Hey, ease up, will you?
Both of you should cool it. We won't know which way to go with this investigation
until that homeless guy decides to talk. Everything else is just speculation right
now.”
Regina nodded, found herself a quiet corner, and crouched down with her
notepad, sketching out a web of relationships.
For some inexplicable reason, she felt that Nolan — and by extension, the Harris
Group had nothing to do with this mess.
Developers? Local residents? The Harris Group?
She listed these potential players in her notebook, circling “developers’ with
emphasis.
She needed to dig deeper into this elusive developer. Ever since the scandal
broke, they seemed to have vanished without a trace.
Was there really such a thing as a flawless developer?
Regina was skeptical. Yet, so far, all the information she found online showed
nothing but praise, which only fueled her doubts.
Meanwhile, the homeless man shuffled back, His sneakers tattered, choosing a
spot not too far from Regina under a tree. He spread a grimy, colorless jacket
over himself and curled up to sleep on the bare ground.

Regina was taken aback; he hadn't eaten anything since she'd been watching.
Had he been going without food for days? That seemed impossible.
