Chapter 1483

Compared with the despicable tactics that Juan used i n the business circle, Ian’s close relationship
with the higher-ups had already won him a lot of opportunities.

Kevin was relieved.

"Luckily, he’s not working with Mr.Saldana."

Otherwise, Synergy would only become more aggressive.

After chatting for a short while, Kevin left.

Nolan poured a cup of tea slowly and calmly.

"So, is he taking over Synergy now?"

Quincy shook his head.

"No, Ian only took the shares but did not take over Synergy.He gave it to Mrs.Saldana."

Nolan placed the teacup against his lower lip.

‘Ian gave Synergy to Mrs.Saldana.It seems he’s the one who informed Mrs.Saldana about the stolen
money.

‘He didn’t make a move by himself, hid behind the curtains, diverted Juan’s attention, and used
Mrs.Saldana to go against him.If Ian were to be my rival, then he'd be a difficult man to deal with"

At that moment, at Synergy...



Ian and Mrs.Saldana were sitting in the office drinking tea and talking to each other.She did not like the
illegitimate child that her ex- husband had with his mistress.

After all, his mother gave birth to him to use his identity to get rid of her and Marco.

However, that was all in the past.

Mrs.Saldana held the teacup with her unchanged expression.

"I thought you dealt with your father only to acquire all the properties and assets under his name, but
you gave Synergy to me."

Ian gave off a faint smile.

"I’m not that interested in the Saldanas’ properties."

"Oh, if your mother was half as sober as you back then, she wouldn’t have ended up like that."

He lowered his gaze and said nothing.

His mother, Eunice, had wanted to secure her position in a wealthy family back then in order to change
her status, so she gave birth to him without Juan knowing and brought him back to the Saldanas in an
attempt to force Juan into accepting them.

However, Juan drove them out of the family in the end.

After that incident, Eunice had always despised Ian, thinking that everything was his fault and that he
could not please his father and earn her a spot in the Saldanas.

A father had never brought up Ian since he was a child, and he had never received any motherly love
from his mother.



Eunice would beat him up when she was in a bad mood and would only stop after beating him to a
pulp.

She would even lock him in the closet and starve him for one whole day.

He also could not get the memories of her chasing him out of the house during winters off his mind.He
once had had no shoes on, no coat, and had been left i n the cold street —it had been so cold that he
fainted for a while.

It was a kindhearted person who saved him.

From the moment he learned to be sensible until he was 12 years old, when every kid around him was
about to graduate from elementary school, he had never even attended school, and he had done all
kinds of dirty and tiring work.

Later on, when the police shut down the factory that employed children as its laborers, he was brought
into the precinct.

However, Eunice did not even show up.

At that time, he also met the savior who changed my life, Michael Chase.He was Barbara’s father and
the deputy director of that particular precinct at the time.

Upon learning about his situation, Michael had asked him if he would like to follow him around in life.

And he had told him that he would do whatever it would take to be able to seize that opportunity.

It was also because of these words that Michael had seen the resolution in him and felt that he was a
boy full of potential.

This was why he had chosen to bring him up and send him to school.



Ian managed to live u p to his expectations in the end when he was admitted to the police academy.

His mother had not contacted him since then.

It was not until he graduated from the police academy and returned to his original home that he learned
his mother had found herself another rich man and had long forgotten about her son.

When he joined the police as a detective, the first murder case he had taken over was his mother’s.

His mother had died tragically in the apartment —the murderer had dismembered her.

All her body parts had been abandoned in different places in the city.

The murderer had not left behind any fingerprints and even avoided all the surveillance cameras when
h e chose the route to discard the body parts.

The local police had had a very difficult time solving the case, sothey invited him over to help them out.
