Chapter 418: 418: Do You Still Want To Seek The Truth?
Adam sat across from Daniel, looking at him with keen interest. He teased, “I heard you and your sister-in-law are getting along really well, it seems you’ve even gotten a bit suntanned!”
Daniel darted a cold gaze at Adam, his voice slow and soft but filled with intimidating force, “You seem to have a lot of free time?”
In an instant, the smirk on Adam’s face froze, he straightened up and said, “We got news from Pine Village. Twenty years ago, Auntie did go back to Pine Village to handle some paperwork. After that, no one saw her again. It looks like she left Pine Village and never returned.”
Daniel knit his brow, his deep-set eyes narrowing, “Any other clues?”
“There are no other clues! Perhaps, Auntie intentionally didn’t want to be found, otherwise, we would have been able to find more clues. Or maybe, Auntie went to a remote place with poor living conditions where information is not updated regularly, so we can’t track her anymore.”
After a moment of thought, Daniel instructed, “Continue searching, pay special attention to anyone who left Pine Village and women who are around my mom’s age.”
“Okay! I will pass on your orders right away and ensure they are carried out meticulously.”
Daniel looked up, fixing his penetrating gaze on Adam, “Anything new from Benjamin Johnson?”
Adam reported truthfully, “Benjamin Johnson has been meeting with a professor from the Department of Psychology at the Medical College these past few days. We didn’t notice anything unusual. He goes for a night run every day, visits the park, rides his bike, and even plays sports with strangers occasionally. It seems like he has changed completely, there’s no sign of that overt arrogance in him anymore.”
Daniel’s sharp, cold eyes narrowed again, “Is that psychology professor a doctor?”
“Yes, he’s a psychological expert at the city hospital, also a graduate advisor. Our guys have been following Benjamin Johnson for two days, it’s like we are looking at a stranger; we never thought Benjamin Johnson could be like his current self.”
Daniel sneered coldly, “Appearances can be deceiving!”
“I was also surprised when I received the report, I suddenly did not recognize Benjamin Johnson. If he’s pretending, then his acting skills are truly incredible.”
Saying this, Adam played a video on his phone for Daniel to see.
A hard-to-see ripple crossed Daniel’s face, “Adam, order them to keep a tight watch on Benjamin Johnson.”
“I have already given that order, they will report immediately if there is any news. Daniel, do you think Benjamin Johnson still wants revenge?”
The corner of Daniel’s lips twitched, his icy words clear, “I’m not sure, but he will definitely not let my wife go. I wouldn’t put it past him to intentionally get close to my wife and I’m worried that he’ll harm her.”
Adam voiced his opinion, with a hint of comfort, “Your wife is very smart, if no one triggers her, no one can hurt her.”
Daniel remained silent, took out a cigarette case, casually picked a cigarette, lit it and started smoking.
After a moment of hesitation, Adam cautiously asked, “Daniel, if Auntie doesn’t want to see you, what will you do? Are you still going to pursue the truth?”
A thin veil of smoke danced from his lips, as Daniel stared at Adam with a somber gaze, “I must find the truth, I have to make Bella Thompson leave the Marshall family. Whether my mom will see me or not, I will clear her name.
I believe my mom is innocent, she has borne the slanderous accusation of infidelity for over twenty years, how painful that must have been. I can’t bear to watch her suffer any longer. If fate doesn’t allow us to be mother and son, I will respect her decision and won’t interfere in her life.”
