“You’re Zachary’s ex–wife. If you hadn’t mentioned that your case was somewhat risky, I would have thought Mr. Fuller had another mistress,” Gordon state frankly. 

Lenora fell silent for a moment 

Her expression was serene as she said, “Aside from being Zachary’s ex–wife, I actually have another identity. I am the daughter of the journalist, Fernando Wilkin.” 

Gordon was momentarily stunned, his expression suddenly turning serious. 

Gordon had just graduated from university when Fernando passed away. It was a time when he was filled with youthful passion. He felt a great loss at the demise of such a righteous journalist and had been closely following the case ever since. 

Back then, indeed, many speculated that Fernando had offended too many people, leading to his downfall. Unexpectedly, the final investigation concluded that it was merely a common car accident. 

Many people didn’t believe in the outcome, yet they had no other choice. 

As time went on, the death of Fernando gradually faded from people’s memory. 

When Lenora suddenly sought him out, mentioning her deceased father, Gordon began to suspect that she knew something. 

That’s why she warned that there was a certain level of risk involved in the assignment. 

After all, many of those who Fernando had offended were influential tycoons, so none of their hands were clean. 

“Does the matter Ms. Wilkin entrusted have something to do with your esteemed father?” 

“Mhmm. It seems you are already familiar with my father, so I don’t need to introduce him further,” Lenora took a sip of her tea. “Before I discuss my request, I would like to ask if you’re aware of the kidnapping case that occurred in Jacaster shortly before my father’s death?” 

Gordon furrowed his brows in recollection for a few seconds, “I seem to have some memory of it.” 

“At that time, my father was investigating this case.” 

Gordon seemed to understand something, “Have you found any clues, Ms. Wilkin?” 

Otherwise, Lenora wouldn’t have come looking for him nearly a decade after Fernando’s death. 

He had initially thought that the capital tycoons, whom Fernando had offended, were behind this. However, he was surprised to find out that it was actually related to that kidnapping case. 

say, Mr. Yancey? Can you handle what I’m about to say next? If you Lenora gave a slight nod. “What do you can, then I’ll continue. If not, I kindly ask that you keep today’s matters to yourself.” 

Gordon fell silent as he gazed at the gentle features of enora’s face.

Once upon a time, he was a passionate and upright youth ton. However, years of working as a private detective had exposed him to too much darkness, and too many situations that left him frustrater yet powerless, 

The sharp edges of his sense of righteousness had gradually been smoothed over by life. 

In the first couple of years as a detective, he had set up his own agency. Once, driven by his sense of justice, he had declined a client’s assignment. However, it wasn’t long before his agency was reported and his family threatened. The disgruntled client he had turned down came to flaunt his power, issuing a series of warnings. Despite his numerous appeals, they fell on deaf ears, and in the end, he had no choice but to shut down his detective agency. 

Back then, he understood that sometimes, having a sense of justice wasn’t very useful. 

Dreams were often grand, but reality could be stark. 

Considering Fernando’s case, if it was indeed a murder and nothing was found in the investigation despite the high level of public attention, it would go to show just how complex and murky the situation truly was. 

Gordon’s hesitation was within Lenora’s expectations. She smiled and said, “I understand your stance, Mr. Yancey. Although we can’t collaborate, I still appreciate you taking the time to sit here and hear me out. Since you’re unwilling to take on this assignment, I won’t force you. I only hope that you can keep this matter confidential for me. Thank you.” 

These candid words from Lenora stirred a pang of guilt within Gordon, making him somewhat hesitant to meet her gaze. “Ms. Wilkin, as the daughter of Mr. Wilkin, you are truly admirable. I am genuinely ashamed.” 

“Mr. Yancey, there’s no need for such formalities. I completely understand. It’s human nature to seek rewards and avoid harm. Perhaps if the man wasn’t my father, I might not have bothered with this matter. But there are no ifs or buts. The one who died was my father, the man I relied on for life itself. So, I had to seek revenge for him, to ensure his death wasn’t in vain 

In truth, if this matter were to be exposed, Lenora would surely have encountered trouble before Gordon. Only when Lenora was dead, would the investigation cease. 

Even Lenora, a seemingly delicate woman, has the courage to confront potential threats just to uncover the truth for her father. Why couldn’t I do the same? 

Moreover, in this era of advanced internet, any rumor or gossip could easily be spread online. Given that Lenora already had a certain level of attention, coupled with the influence of the Euller family, it was unlikely that anyone would dare to act recklessly. 

Gordon took a deep breath, steeling himself as he said, I’ve made up my mind, Ms. Wilkin. I’ll take on your assignment.” 

He wasn’t sure if his decision was right or wrong. 

All he knew was that, in that moment, he had followed his heart without betraying his conscience. “Really?” Lenora gasped, a hint of joy gleaming in her eyes. 

“Yes. I was deeply saddened by the death of Mr. Wilkin back then. I hope that I can do something in his
