Swanstrom's eyes were downcast and her long lashes hid all the emotions in her beautiful eyes, leaving Khalid unable to guess what she was thinking.
Just when Khalid thought Swanstrom wouldn't talk, she suddenly looked up and said, "Revenge."
"What?" Khalid froze, thinking he had heard wrong.
Swanstrom looked out the car window at the ever-receding view and said faintly, "I'm back to help avenge my mother's death."
"Revenge?" Khalid raised an eyebrow in dismay, then it dawned on him, "Wow, you mean Mrs. Gardner ...... no, I should say, Young Lady of Brooks family. I heard your mom killed herself from depression, you don't think it was suicide?"
"Definitely not!" Swanstrom said categorically, "I don't remember anything from my childhood, but some fragmentary memories are still there. And there are a lot of things that point to my mom definitely not committing suicide. For example, once my mom died, the Brooks family became the Gardner family. Also, I can't find any trace of my mom ever living there at home at all ...... I can be sure that my mom definitely didn't commit suicide, but he killed herself."
Khalid, with deep eyes, said, "Who do you suspect? Your father?"
Swanstrom nodded and shook his head: "I'm not sure if he did it, or if my Auntie Taylor did it. Or maybe they both had a hand in it! I'm still looking into it, and when I find out, I'll make the killer pay!"
Khalid nodded, "No wonder you said you didn't have time. So if it turns out your dad did it, what are you going to do?"
Swanstrom said coldly, "Do what you need to do."
She will never show mercy!
"I got it." Khalid looked to Swanstrom and said, "I still say, if you need any help, just call me. I don't have my business card, but you have my cell phone number, just call me."
Swanstrom drops his eyes: "...... Thanks."
I don't know why, but Khalid said so, and she suddenly felt a sense of reassurance in her heart.
It's as if ...... has found the security of being here.
"Oh, yes." Khalid said, "The Gardner Group's partnership with our company, do you want me to cancel it?"
