Ian was taken by surprise, for that woman was like a cockroach that refused to die. In fact, Ian thought that she would still cause trouble for him and Sean even when she was in her eighties.
He immediately asked, "What happened?"
Logan wasn't sure. "I just received news that the police received a report and found her body. However, her body has already rotted, and it should have been days since she died. Hence, the police only managed to identify her after comparing her DNA. I don't know anything else apart from that, and I didn't see what she ended up looking like."
Even though Leah couldn't walk, she should have been able to hire a servant to take care of her since she was rich, and her body wouldn't be found only after she had died for several days.
After hesitating for a moment, Ian asked, "Have they announced her cause of death?"
"No. The police were just informed about this as well. Lola was the first to be informed about it, so I'm guessing that the police are going to start their investigations now," Logan explained while Ian nodded. "I see. Alright, let me know about the progress of the investigation when I see you next time."
He started feeling helpless at that. "All of these things always happen in one go. Sometimes, I really don't know if God is trying to screw with me."
Right after the news about him was released, what happened to Leah was leaked as well.
Ian found it amusing that everything always happened in one short timeframe.
After the call with Logan, he went to shower before checking the news online.
Since Leah's case hadn't been reported yet, the only thing that was still happening online was the man's sadfishing.
Nevertheless, Ian couldn't be bothered by that man since he wasn't directly involved in that issue, and it was none of his business even if that man starved to death.
He lay on the bed before reaching for his phone. Then, he gave Cindy a call.
After Cindy accepted his call, her tired voice rang out. "Are you done with work?"
Ian hummed in acknowledgment. "Were you asleep? If that's the case, you should go back to sleep. I'll be alright."
He wanted to talk about Leah if Cindy was still awake, but he decided to drop it since she was asleep.
"I fell asleep and had a dream just now. It was about—"
Before Cindy could finish what she wanted to say, someone knocked on Ian's hotel room door.
Since Ian's room was really quiet, even Cindy could hear the sound of the door knocking.
Cindy, who was initially feeling groggy, quickly woke up when she heard someone knocking at his door.
Before Ian could react, she asked, "W-Who is here so late at night?"
Since he didn't know who it was either, Ian got off his bed and headed to the door. "I'm not sure. Let me go take a look."
Since he didn't know who it was either, Ian got off his bed and headed to the door. "I'm not sure. Let me go take a look."
He looked outside from the peephole installed on the door, but there was no one there.
When it came to such situations, Ian never opened the door. Although he had never run into any extreme fans, he had seen past cases on the Internet.
Some fans might've followed me back here.
Nevertheless, Ian didn't say anything as he tightened his grip on his phone and went back to bed. "I don't know who it is. I didn't see anyone from the door's peephole."
Right after he said that, someone knocked on the door again.
Immediately, Ian frowned before he got off the bed and went to the door again. However, he still wasn't able to see anyone from the peephole.
Yet, he didn't move this time and waited by the door.
Meanwhile, Cindy continued asking questions on the other end of the call, but Ian signaled for her to keep quiet.
When she realized what Ian was trying to do, she quickly stopped talking.
The two of them waited quietly before someone knocked on the door again not long after. Right then, Ian noticed a figure standing at the entrance of the door through the peephole.
