Chapter 283: Find You Along the Network
The reason Laura had sought out Danson was clear. She wanted him to return to his old work: keeping an eye on Anita Moore and investigating the young man who had recently entered her life.
Danson, a veteran paparazzi and former mentor to Julian, was someone Laura believed could accomplish what her own employee couldn't. Perhaps he could uncover something that Julian had missed.
But when she made her request, Danson shook his head, his expression unreadable.
"Anita is protected by the Long family," he said, his voice low. "Their influence is just as powerful as the Swift family. I've already offended the Swifts—if I cross the Longs too, do you think I want to die faster?"
It was clear. Danson wasn't the same man he used to be.
The years spent hiding abroad had worn down his spirit, leaving him more cautious, almost timid. If it weren't for the strange case of John Lopez, which had piqued his interest, Danson wouldn't have even considered returning to the business.
Laura, however, didn't seem surprised by his hesitation. She spoke calmly, her fingers idly tapping the arm of the chair.
"If you collect enough dirt on Anita, the old grudge between you and the Swifts will be forgotten," she said, her voice sweet but with an undercurrent of authority. "You've been hiding for so long, haven't you? I'm sure that life isn't comfortable. Don't you want to get back to your old self?"
Danson paused.
