Chapter 621 Investigating the Truth
Although Mary refused to apply for a retrial of the case, Ainsley still allowed them to live in the place.
Ainsley knocked on the door. Mary panicked when she opened the door and saw that it was Ainsley.
"Ms. Easton, w-what are you doing here?" Mary asked guiltily.
"Mrs. Conway, I'm just here to see you. Don't be so nervous." Ainsley originally hoped to convince Mary to apply for the retrial of the case, but after seeing the latter's reaction, Ainsley knew that it was hopeless.
Upon hearing that, Mary immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She opened the door and invited Ainsley in. As soon as Mary brought a cup of coffee, she burst into tears.
"Ms. Easton, all mothers love their children. When Nancy died, l-l want to kill the murderer very much. But you know that not only do I have Nancy, I also have a son, and I have to think for him," Mary said sadly.
Of course, Ainsley could understand, but Nancy’s face always appeared in front of her. Thus, she said tentatively, ‘If I can guarantee your and your son's safety, will you be willing to apply for a retrial of the case?"
"Ms. Easton, we've always lived under your protection, but we were still kidnapped the last time."
"I meant, sending your son abroad." Ainsley's gaze was intense.
If Mary really cared about her son, she would consider it. After all, it was a good thing to go abroad.
Sure enough, Mary hesitated and looked at Ainsley awkwardly. "Ms. Easton, I need to think about it for a few days first. Can I?"
"Sure you can." Ainsley nodded and left Beacon Hill.
Instead of going home, she returned to the cafe just now. The person she met this time was a detective, James Brown.
"Ms. Easton, what do you need?" James asked.
Ainsley handed him all the information she collected, but naturally, some important information was not included. "I want to investigate the murderer of this person."
James looked at the information in his hand solemnly. About ten minutes later, he finished reading all the information. Then, he frowned and repeated the name of the deceased. "Jake Easton?"
He vaguely felt that he had heard the name somewhere.
Ainsley nodded. "Yes, he's my father."
"I'm sorry." James nodded apologetically.
Ainsley signaled that it did not bother her before saying, "I'll give all this information to you. When my father died, the police wrote that he died in a car accident as the cause of death. However, I received information and realized that my father died of a heart attack caused by lidocaine. Everyone admitted it. The information you're holding is the list of people who had conflicts and business dealings with my father during that time. I need you to check if they have anything to do with it."
"This is after three or four years, so it's probably not easy to investigate."
Ainsley took out a check from her bag. "I know the rules in this industry. Money is not a problem. This is a deposit. It will be doubled once you have managed to investigate it."
Upon seeing the check, a hint of a smile appeared in James' eyes. He took the check away and said solemnly, "Ms. Easton, I will do my best, but it may take a longtime."
"It's okay. It took me so long to know the truth. I don't mind if it takes longer to find out." Hatred filled Ainsley's eyes.
She hated the murderer, but she had no clue at all.
After she and James left, dark clouds began to gather. There was no rain for a long time in Seattle and it seemed that a heavy storm was brewing in the place.
A bolt of lightning suddenly flashed, illuminating the dim sky.
Meanwhile, Manuel looked at a message sent by his subordinate in silence. Waston had been rescued, and Kaliyah had also received retribution.
