PopularNovelRoseanne nodded, "Then I'll see what | can do to help track it down."
Mamie raised an eyebrow. "And what about me?"
"You're in charge of the finances."
That very day, Roseanne and Scales each transferred $840,000 into Mamie's account.
Ah, the sweet, sweet feeling of having money.
Munching on cookies, Mamie stroked her bank card with a grin. Sure, she cfrom a wealthy family, but boy,
did she love money!
Just like her dear old Grandpa Duke, she was forever bowing to the almighty dollar, hehe!
Following the lead, Roseanne found that CPRT's local distributor was a start-up called "EchoVerse Systems."
Digging deeper, the major shareholder turned out to be someone named Vinson.
Continuing her search under Vinson's business ventures, she stumbled upon a familiar name
Cliff.
"Hey, Roseanne, how's it going?"

"Not bad. You?"
"Ah, don't getstarted. Took a nasty fall a while back, broke my leg, and have been stuck in the hospital for a
week now." "That bad?" Roseanne was genuinely surprised.
"Well, not terrible, but | need to rest up. You know me, always on the move. Lying here all day is killing me."
Damn!
"Broken bones need time, Cliff. Listen to the doctors, take it easy. You don't want to rush things and end up with
complications." "Yeah, yeah, | get it. So, what's up? You called for a reason?"
Roseanne explained her situation.
"CPRT? What's that? All | know about is CPR..."
Patiently, Roseanne clarified, "It's a dynamic measurement instrument, typically used in biological research."
"That company you mentioned..."
"EchoVerse Systems."
"Right, right, | do have a fund that invests in tech startups, especially those in the early stages. But it's not really
my field, so | mostly follow other investors and stick to short-term positions."

"If I remember right, this Vinson was part of a venture | had with York Gibson. | just put in the money and stayed
out of the decision-making and management, so I've never actually met their CEO. But York's big into tech
innovation, and he's heavily invested in that company. He'd have more info thanol do. You might want to give
him a call."
"Will do, thanks. Take care and get well soon."
"Con, we're practically family. No need for thanks, heh heh..."
With a smirk, Roseanne ended the call and immediately dialed York.
The phone was picked up quickly, the background noise much quieter than before.
Well, it was daytime. Not exactly party hours.
"Mr. Gibson."
"Whoa, being all formal with me, Anne~"
York's use of "Anne" nearly made Roseanne nauseous.
"Let's... keep things professional."

"Don't be a stranger. | mean, I'm not
just your ex's buddy anymore, I'met
your best friend's current f
only
It's
natural, right?"
York had a way of complicating relationships with just a few words.
Roseanne didn't want to beat around the bush; she knew better than to try to outtalk York.
"I need to ask you something."
"Go ahead."
After Roseanne laid out the situation, York paused before responding, "You sure it's EchoVerse Systems?" "Yes."
"Looking for the boss?"
"That's right."
"Then you might as well call Corley directly."
