"Later, I questioned her and discovered that a man called Mr. Glen had been contacting her since her father passed away. He kept reminding her that she was a Limmer. He also called her when I was in Yeringham and said he noticed that I was always staying with her. Susan was worried about my safety and so she chased me away." Ian finally told Sebastian what had happened.
Of course, he hid some things from Sebastian, such as his true reason for staying in Yeringham.
Sebastian did not reply but kept staring at Ian with a strange expression.
He chose to be frank now. Does this mean he found out that I am investigating him? This little imp still has some wit left in him.
"I understand and will investigate this matter. Is this why you came home looking depressed? You were worried about your Aunt Susan?"
Ian panicked slightly and quickly looked away. He looked down at his plate and picked up some spaghetti with his fork.
Luckily for Ian, although Sebastian was observant, he did not suspect that Ian was hiding a big secret from him.
Looking at Ian, who was silent and whose head was hung low, he simply assumed that Ian was worried about Susan.
He thought it was the concern of a nephew for his aunt.
Thus, Sebastian instructed his men to carry out an investigation.
After dinner, Ian returned to his bedroom and shut the door. He could not calm down for a long time as he sat at his desk, looking at a page on his phone screen.
An hour later, he finally saw activities on that page.
Karl: Mr. Hayes, I have found Kilian, but he denied that he is Eddie’s follower.
Sebastian: What does he mean?
Karl: He said Elizabeth sent him to watch Colton. He also revealed that Elizabeth had abducted Susan and her brother when they were born.
These words popped up on the page.
Ian stared at them unwaveringly and even forgot to breathe for a moment.
It was as Ian had expected. Shortly after Karl sent the message to Sebastian, a furious emoji came from Sebastian's phone.
Sebastian: What is the meaning of this? What do you mean by abduction?
Karl: The doctor carried the babies away soon after birth to administer the vaccination. However, the babies never returned.
After Karl explained that, the rest were easy to guess. It meant that Susan and her brother were not Colton's children. Elizabeth had likely switched them a long time ago.
Sebastian was furious, and that was the end of the messages between Karl and Sebastian.
After that, the page on Sebastian's phone did not show any more activity.
Ian closed the page and got up from his desk. His palm was covered with cold sweat, and his legs were trembling slightly.
I'm sorry, Daddy...
