Silas did not linger too long after they left and walked into the villa.
“Mr. Shane.” In the living room, Silas saw the pale-faced man massaging his temples.
When Shane heard Silas, he put down his hand and looked up. “What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to report my findings.” Silas handed him the document that was in his hands.
Shane’s eyes froze slightly before he took the document and flipped through it.
While he was reading, Silas said, “Previously, I conducted investigations on Harrison’s family of three, but I didn’t verify their statements with other people who are related to the Smiths. Therefore, what I found out then was that Ms. Natalie had eloped. However, this time, I interviewed a maid who left the Smith family a few years ago and their neighbors as well…”
Shane gazed up at Silas. “And then?”
Light reflected slightly from Silas’s glasses as he continued, “And then, just like what Ms. Carter said, when Ms. Smith left the Smith family, she did not have a boyfriend, and neither did she elope. Instead, she was thrown out by the Smiths together with her mother and Jared Smith.”
“He actually drove his first wife and two children out of his family home? How could Harrison do something like that?” Shane sneered.
Silas shrugged his shoulders. “He did that because he wasn’t fond of Ms. Smith and Jared. Actually, his favorite child is Jasmine. Therefore, he drove them out to ensure a better future for her!”
“Better future?” Shane’s thumb stopped ruffling through the papers.
Silas nodded. “According to that maid, Harrison threw Ms. Smith out so that Jasmine could take her place and get engaged to you. However, they were afraid that you would be enraged and take it out on the Smith family, so he secretly created the rumor that Ms. Smith had eloped. With this…”
“With that, even if I were to realize the swap, I wouldn’t have done anything to the Smiths because I would’ve thought that my real fiancée had eloped and that they replaced her for me in time.” Shane gripped the papers tightly with a cold glint in his eyes.
