Chapter 477 Specially Brought In 

The voice paused before saying, “Ms. Conner, did you watch the news?” 

I was taken aback and honestly replied, “I saw it, are you referring to the news about the white sports car that exploded?” 

“Uh-huh!” He responded, “The police station sent someone over and said that the car belonged to Daniel. It seems he had been back in the country for a few days. Have you seen him before? I mean, after we came back from the border.” 

“I’ve seen it.” Knowing what he wanted to ask me, I took a slight breath and said, “I’m not very clear about the car.” 

He quickly said, “Don’t overthink it, that’s not what I meant. I called you to tell you that the person in the car was burned alive. However, the DNA test results from the team just came out, the person in the car wasn’t Daniel, it was Simon!” 

Hearing such news, I wasn’t surprised, just felt powerless. Indeed, Ezra was truly a disaster that lasted for a thousand years. 

It seems that Roy had called Walter away just now because of this! 

I heaved a deep sigh, and said into the phone, “Thank you for telling me all this, Officer Lu.” 

He fell silent for a moment before saying, “Ms. Conner, do you happen to know something about the car accident?” 

I frowned, falling into silence.

Seeing that I didn’t speak, he said, “I didn’t mean to interrogate you, I just wanted to remind you that Simon was on the blacklist in the bureau, but he was also Daniel’s capable assistant domestically. Now that he’s dead, Daniel might not let it go easily. You and Mr. Hinton need to be careful.” 

“Hmm!” I nodded, realizing that this time Walter was too impatient. I knew he didn’t want me to risk going to the border with Ezra, so he planned to deal with Ezra domestically. 

Could… 

After hanging up the phone with Stanley, I felt somewhat drained, as if an unchangeable sense of fatigue was tightly wrapping around me. 

So, I still had to take the path that I had to take. 

Life seemed to always be like this, just when you thought there might be hope for everything, it suddenly hit you hard, sending you back to square one in an instant, leaving you with no other choice. 

“Ding…” A faint sound came from the door, at first, I thought I was hallucinating. 

“Ding-dong!” This time it was very clear, it was the doorbell ringing. 

I thought it was Walter who had arranged for someone to deliver something, so I got up to open the door. The door code was indeed my birthday. This person was really something. If he hadn’t mentioned it, I really wouldn’t have thought of it. 

After entering the password, the door rang once and then opened. 

I looked towards the door, first seeing a pair of men’s elderly leather shoes, then hearing the respectful voice of the other party, “Ms. Conner.”

“Dale!” Seeing Dale’s face, I was genuinely surprised. 

He looked at me, pulling a slight smile, then moved his body aside. I then saw the old lady standing behind him, leaning on a golden nanmu 

cane. 

Seeing her, I was taken aback for a moment, but it was only for an instant. I then smiled slightly and invited both of them into the house. 

Upon entering the house, the old lady took a quick look around before sitting down. I poured a glass of water for both her and Dale. 

Seeing me sit down, the old lady looked at me and said, “Tabatha, it’s been quite some time.”
