Chapter 140
“Make a copy of the contents in this USB drive and investigate the events of Mr. Thomas’ hospitalization five years ago, the videos of Esther, and what happened to her in prison and during childbirth,” Clark instructed, his mind filled with thoughts of the recorded
conversation. “Pay special attention to Liliane’s matters.”
The bald man began copying the data from the USB drive while sharing some gossip he had heard with Clark.
“I heard that Mr. Bradley is planning to marry Ms. Anstey. Investigating her privately like this, isn’t it…”
“Our young Mr. Felix isn’t Liliane’s biological son, but the son of Esther and Bradley…”
Even as a private detective who had witnessed numerous dark secrets within wealthy families, the bald man was left speechless with shock.
“Are you suggesting…”
Clark took a sip of his premium coffee and calmly stated, “I don’t know the exact details of what happened back then, but I can confidently say that Mr. Thomas’ death had nothing to do with Esther.”
“If Mr. Thomas’ death truly isn’t connected to Esther, then that poor girl has suffered immensely!”
Spending the prime five years of her life in prison and being separated from her child right after giving birth?
What kind of grudges and resentments must have tormented Esther all this time?
“I’ve copied the data, and I’ll investigate slowly. However, as you know, this is an incident. from five years ago, so it’ll be challenging to investigate,” said the bald man.
Clark looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said gently, “What may be extremely difficult for others is just a trivial matter for you.”
In this world, birds had their own way, and snakes had their own path. As a detective, the bald man also had his own methods.
“Clark, I’ve always felt that you’re too talented to be just a butler in the Warners.”
“Mr. Thomas once saved my life,” Clark said calmly and composedly. “If it wasn’t for him back then, my whole family would have been doomed. He saved me and our family. Now that he’s gone, I want to stay in the Warners and wait for Bradley’s life to be on the right track. Then, I can let go of everything and reunite with my wife and child abroad.”
“Clark, you’re just too kind.” The bald man thought that with the Warners’ wealth, saving Clark’s family would be an effortless task. However, over the years, Clark had transitioned from being a driver to becoming a butler in the Warners’ household, firmly rooted like a compass needle.
“Alright, I’ll leave the matter to you. Keep me informed if you have any updates. I’ll also investigate privately,” said Clark.
The bald man personally escorted Clark to the entrance of the residential complex. His eyes
fell on a white car not far away, and his detective instinct made him shudder.
