I turned abruptly, about to question further, when Jack strode over with an unfriendly expression. Charlotte.” 

I nodded. “Jack.” 

As soon as Bob saw him, his expression changed instantly. He stammered, “Mr. Renolds, what are you doing here?” 

Clearly, he was very afraid of Jack. 

Jack glanced at me, confirming that I was alright, then fixed his gaze on Bob. “Have you forgotten what I told you so soon?” 

“I wouldn’t dare!” Bob vehemently denied, forcing a fawning and cautious smile. “I–I’m just here to see my wife. This girl just happened to come by.” 

Seeing how scared Bob was of Jack, I took the opportunity to press on. “What you just said, what was that all about? You keep bringing it up. Don’t tell me it was just idle talk.” 

Jack had also heard that comment. 

Bob shrank back, avoiding my aunt’s gaze. Gritting his teeth, he began, “I was just…” 

“You’d better tell the truth.” Jack smiled slightly, interrupting gent.y, “When we were young, I saw how her parents treated her like a precious gem. Why would you bring this up now?” 

I was eager to uncover the truth and urged Bob, “Continue.” 

Bob lowered his head, as if avoiding something. “I…I just didn’t want a divorce! I was just speaking nonsense!” 

“Impossible!” 

I didn’t believe him! 

If he was making up stories, he had many things he could fabricate. Why this particular story, and repeatedly? 

My aunt glared at him, then advised, “Charlotte, don’t take his nonsense to heart. He just wants to force me to reconsider and not divorce him…” 

“Exactly!” Bob desperately agreed. 

On the way back, I was still somewhat distracted, 

I couldn’t be sure about what was really happening. 

Since childhood, my aunt had always been good to me and there was no reason for her to deceive me. 

Moreover, Bob was clearly afraid of Jack, so he probably wouldn’t continue lying. 

Jack suddenly spoke up. “What are you thinking about?” 

I pressed my lips together. “I’m trying to figure out how to get to the bottom of this.”

Whether it was a lie or the truth, it needed to be clarified. 

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be at ease. 

Jack patted my head. “How are you going to investigate this? Leave it to me. I have friends in Nesax.” 

My eyes lit up. “Can you do that?” 

I indeed lacked the connections for such inquiries. 

He smiled slightly. “Why wouldn’t I be able to?” 

“Then… when you find out, I’ll treat you to a big meal!” 

“I’ll be looking forward to it.” 

“Great!” 

But I couldn’t quite relax. 

If it turned out that Bob was lying, that would be wonderful. 

But what if it was the truth? 

Then I would truly become the orphan described by the Shaw family, with no parents and no knowledge 

of where I came from. 

Jack dropped me off downstairs at my apartment. Seeing that it was still early, I asked politely, “Would you like to come up for some tea?” 

After all, I would be asking him for a favor. 

“Do you know what it means to invite a man up for tea in the evening?” Jack looked at me meaningfully.
