Everett watched as they entered the bedroom, feeling a wave of tranquility wash over his heart.
His Bay Residence was once more graced with its lady of the house.
After tidying up the dining room table, Everett retreated to his own bedroom and noticed several missed calls from Kevin.
A glance towards Langston's room prompted him to walk over to the floor-to-ceiling window. He cracked it open for a breath of fresh air before returning Kevin's call.
“Mr. Lopez, regarding the death of Ms. Sanchez’s mother, we’ve been hitting dead ends,” Kevin sounded defeated. “All potential evidence has been destroyed—medical records, hospital footage, and even the bodyguards stationed at her mother’s door have passed away under suspicious illnesses.”
Everett’s fingers clenched, the knuckles stark white against his skin.
“It seems they were anticipating my investigation.”
“There is… another way we could find out the cause of Ms. Sanchez’s mother’s death,” Kevin said hesitantly.
But before he could elaborate, Everett dismissed the idea outright.
“If Dorothy found out I exhumed her mother’s remains, she’d never forgive me.”
Silence fell on the other end.
“To erase traces this thoroughly, Heather couldn’t have acted alone.”
Everett was convinced his mother had a hand in this.
Again, it was her doing!
What Everett feared most wasn't uncovering Heather's involvement; it was the possibility that his mother was deeply implicated in the affair.
“Also, Mr. Lopez, the owner of that warehouse we were investigating has mysteriously vanished. The strand of hair we found there matches the DNA—Langston was definitely held captive by those people.”

Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
