The atmosphere was a bit serious. Isaias stood there with a grave look when he heard that.
He looked sad, lowering his eyes without saying anything. Fortunately, Emilee was comforting him in a soft voice.
"Isaias, you're an adult, so you got to be strong. All these years, your mother wasn't as happy as she seemed.
"She wanted a divorce. She wanted to throw it all away. I don't think she would kill herself.
"What do you think? Am I right?"
Isaias was silent. After a while, he nodded.
"Aleigha, I can't pretend I didn't hear what you just said. I know that my mom had a hard time.
"I know she was unhappy, but I didn't do anything to help her. I'm a coward. Aleigha, please help me and my mother."
"Well, you go home and get those files, and then we're gonna meet at the bank. Maybe we will know something more."
After leaving the Bradshaw Residence, Isaias went home and and Aleigha went to the bank.
Aleigha had talked to the manager of this bank before. As soon as Isaias came, they went to the safe and smoothly got what left by Mrs. Fulton.
"How did you know my mother left it here?"
Isaias looked at the wooden jewelry box and asked.
"Give me your cell phone," Aleigha gave an irrelevant answer.
Isaias handed his phone to her, only to find that she threw it on the ground and stamped it hard.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Since you want to know the secret, you have to make sure no one else is listening."
Isaias looked at his phone incredulously. It took him quite a while before he came to his senses.
"You..."
"Don't think of everyone as kind, including your family."
Isaias knew what she meant.
They went to a cafe nearby, and Isaias carefully opened the jewelry box.
Inside were a letter, a blue diamond necklace, a pocket watch, and several expensive pieces of jewelry.
Isaias did not know what to do. In the end, he handed the letter to Aleigha.
Aleigha took the letter and read it carefully. Then, she sighed slightly and looked up at Isaias.
She pondered for a while and slowly said, "Isaias, the letter says that your sister is not your mother's child.
"She was born to Aubrie's mother, Mckenzie. Your mom didn't know it before.
"Alexzander told your mom that your sister was the daughter his fallen comrade.
"That was why your mom had been doing her best to take care of your sister.
"It was not until last year that she learned the truth by accident. Your father has been scheming to acquire your mom's property.
"Your mother wanted a divorce, but she didn't expose everything. She was trying to protect you.
"She knew that I would get this letter. She gave me Plenilune because she was afraid that your dad would get here before me.
"The one who gave her this pocket watch was the man she loved deeply. Your father killed him.
"Your mother knew all this, but she didn't tell anyone."
Isaias did not move, and his eyes fixed on the letter. "How did my mother die?" "You need to go ask your father and Mckenzie."
"It's impossible. How could my father do that?"
Aleigha could understand that he didn't want to believe this. He used to think that his parents loved each other.
But now he was told that his father was a monster. His father might even have killed his mother.
Isaias refused to think about it. The truth was cruel.
Both of them fell silent. Isaias was stroking the blue diamond necklace, and his eyes were dim.
