Chapter 618
It seemed to have something to do with the woman named Catherine. Dad had suddenly left soon after.
Alden was very suspicious of whether his Dad had already fallen out of love.
But he, as a child, could not understand such intricacies regarding adult emotions, and he also dared not ask his Mom about it.
Now, his mother was looking for him alone. Was she going to tell him about it?
Adina walked into Alden‘s bedroom, closed the door with the back of her hand, and sat down on the edge of the bed. She indifferently said, “Take out your laptop.”
Alden‘s fingers tightened. “Mommy, ...”
“I know you‘re hiding that laptop under the bed. Take it out,” Adina softly said, “You‘re not in trouble. I need your help.”
Alden sighed in relief.
He nearly thought that Mom knew that he had established a hacker studio online.
If Mom was stepping in to stop him, he had only one option, which was to disband the studio.
He was reluctant to give up the career that he had worked so hard on, but he was willing to give up on anything as long as his
Mom asked him to.
Luckily, Mom had not found it out.
Alden leaned on the floor and speedily took out the laptop. He obediently asked, “Mom, what do you want me to do?”
“Do you remember when I asked you to investigate a man called Earley Wynters?” Adina said, “Check where he is now, and see if he is still alive.”
Alden nodded. He tapped the keyboards speedily while he kept searching for useful information.
Fifteen minutes later, he raised his head, and he wrinkled his face. “Earley Wynters appeared in Sea City twenty–eight days ago, but he seemed to have disappeared then. I could not find his whereabouts at all.”
Adina softly asked, “Could he be dead now?”
“It‘s also possible that he has been locked up and cut off from all the modern technology,” Alden said. “He is now a wanted criminal. We can‘t conclude that he is dead until the police announces his death.”
So, why were Duke and Catherine so sure that Earley Wynters was dead?
