“Correct Alice’s identity information?” Amber Reed frowned. “What does this mean? Does it mean that Alice’s current identity information is not fake, but real?”
Jared Farrell pursed his lips and said nothing.
Ben Channing heard Amber’s voice, nodded, and replied, “Yes, Ms. Reed. As speculated, the deputy said Connor Stockert told him to change Alice’s precious identity information to the current one, which I have found out about before. That ID information should belong to Alice.”
“Tell me more,” Jared said in a deep voice.
Ben continued, “Alice’s previous identity was also an orphan who grew up at a children's welfare institution. But her name there wasn’t Alice, but Sally Chandler. The Dean of the institution gave her the name. And later Connor Stockert changed her name to Alice - the name change happened the week before you have asked me to investigate her background.”
“That is to say, the Deputy Bureau didn’t change Alice’s identity information much, but just her name?” Jared frowned.
Ben nodded, “Yes. But of course, this was only a statement from the Deputy Bureau’s side. And I believe that the Deputy Bureau didn’t lie - he just did what Connor Stockert ordered. We could only find out more about Alice’s identity from Connor.”
Jared’s thin lips pursed into a straight line, silent.
Amber looked at him, “I didn’t expect it to be like this.”
At first, they thought they could find out Alice’s true identity from the census side.
But unexpectedly, the census side only helped change Alice’s name, the rest of the information found was the same as what Jared had found in his previous investigation.
In other words, they just got Alice’s old name, and they still knew nothing about Alice’s real identity.
The only thing they knew now was that Alice’s relationship with Connor Stockert, the master of the Stockert family, was not simple.
Jared nodded lightly, “It doesn’t matter. Even though I couldn’t find out here, I would ask Connor Stockert directly.”
Saying so, he replied to the phone, “It’s okay. I will handle it from here and contact Connor Stockert in person in a moment.”
“Copy that, Mr. Farrell,” Ben replied.
Jared put the phone down, ready to call Connor.
Jared had never contacted Connor Stockert, nor had he met Connor in person.
Because of Connor’s relationship with his mother and his suspicions about Connor, Jared never found it necessary to meet or contact the man.
Unless he had already found out whether Connor was the murderer of his father and the man who had planned his car accident.
After confirming that these were all Connor’s wrongdoings, Jared would meet with the man before he got sent away for his deserved punishment - after all, Connor Stockert was his mother’s favorite man.
But if Connor didn’t do any of those, or Jared couldn’t find out more evidence, Jared would choose not to meet the man, or he would be disgusted.
Now it was beyond his expectation that he would contact Connor Stockert at such a time.
Looking at the man’s frown, Amber bit her lower lip and asked, “Are you sure it’s okay?”
“What do you mean, babe?” Jared looked up at her, not sure what Amber meant.
Amber pointed at the phone, “Are you okay with contacting Connor Stockert? I thought you didn’t want to face the man right now, do you?”
No children would have a favorable impression of the man who was attracted to his mother.
Besides, this man might be the one who had killed his father.
So, Amber was a little worried about Jared.
Seeing the worries in Amber’s eyes, Jared immediately realized what she was concerned about - he felt the warmth inside his heart. So he replied, “I’m fine, babe. We have to face it eventually - it’s only a matter of time. Now we are just confronting him sooner. I am also curious about how the man would react when he hears from me. Perhaps I could figure out his attitude toward me from his reactions, to see whether he hates me or something.”
Jared was the son of Connor’s rival in love. If the man hated Jared, he must feel the same about Jared’s father too. This way, it would only make sense Connor was the one who planned the car accident and had Jared’s father killed.
After all, not everyone could live up to “Love me, Love my dog.” - it was rare if you loved someone, you’d extend that love to their children.
Seeing that Jared was about to test Connor, Amber wasn’t sure what to say. She nodded, “Okay. No matter what you do, I am supportive of you.”
