Everyone in Xedells knew about the Faulkner family. After all, Baykeep and Xedells were quite close to each other.
Therefore, Herbert knew about Peter Faulkner.
Herbert thought that Xavier had only escaped from prison, but now, the man had also killed someone. The shock was visible on his face as he asked, “Did he escape from prison to kill this girl?”
The driver shook his head, a gesture of him not knowing the answer to that. “General Zeigler, there's something I'm not sure if I should voice out loud or not.”
“What is it?”
“Jane was working at Genevieve's company before her passing. She was also quite close with Mr. Sutton of Specter Corporation. Besides, you know that there's bad blood between Ms. Sylvie and Genevieve...”
Herbert had been in the military for many years, so he could understand what the driver was trying to tell him despite the latter's stammering words.
As a matter of fact, he even began wondering if Sylvie had deliberately let Xavier out of prison and asked him to kill Jane while she reaped the benefits of the situation without dirtying her hands.
That very thought made Herbert's hair stand on end.
He could not believe that his granddaughter was such a terrifying girl.
When the driver saw Herbert massaging his chest and looking unwell, he quickly added, “Please don't get too emotional, General Zeigler. This is just a guess of mine. Ms. Sylvie is quite the obedient girl.”
“If she really is a good girl, would she have gotten someone to commit murder and abused her Uncle Phineus' power to do all those misdeeds?” Herbert retorted.
Once Herbert's heart stopped aching as much, he sighed tiredly. “I know that Sylvie's father might not be a good man, but Juliana was such a sweet girl. Yet, Sylvie doesn't take after her at all...”
Everything that Sylvie had done was making Herbert wonder, The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, huh? Did Sylvie really take after her father to have such a similar character as him?
Herbert was starting to feel suspicious.
He had been making frequent contact with Dartan for decades, but he had never been able to get any news of his daughter. However, one day, he had received news about her out of the blue.
The more Herbert mulled over it, the more doubtful he became. He then waved at the driver to get him to come over before whispering, “Find a way to get Sylvie's hair with follicles. After that, send her hair sample, along with mine, to the lab for a paternity test.”
