Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

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.

Everything seemed to be moving in the right direction, but he felt that it was not that simple.

Roman knocked on the door and entered with a solemn expression.

"What happened?" Manuel asked.

For now, he would not be too shocked by what would happen. In a place where humans were around, it was not

surprising that people, when controlled by human nature, would do anything outrageous.

"Ms. Easton met a detective this afternoon," said Roman hurriedly.

"Why did she meet the detective?" Manuel frowned slightly.

Roman continued to reply, "Ms. Easton wants to find out the truth."

"What truth?"

"I haven't found out yet. The detective is very close-mouthed."

Manuel nodded understandingly. "The ones who are working in the industry definitely won't leak the information of

those who hire them."

He was just curious about what Ainsley wanted to investigate.

"Tell me if you have any news." He pinched his eyebrows and sat back in his chair again.

Roman did not say anything anymore and left the office.

The next morning, Kaliyah received a call from Bryan and Becky. Then, she rushed home. At that time, she still did

not know what had happened.

Kaliyah was filled with exhaustion when she returned home. Bryan and Becky hurriedly called her to their side.

"Dad, Mom, why did you two call me over in such a hurry?" she asked.

Bryan's expression was cold. "Why don't you think about what you've done?"

Meanwhile, Becky looked at Kaliyah with reddened eyes. The former wanted to say something, but she held it back.

"Tell me exactly what happened!"

Bryan said angrily, "I really didn't expect that my beloved daughter, who was raised by me, would cause such big

trouble for me! Can you tell me what was really going on in your mind? I raised you so that you could become

successful, not to kidnap someone else! Last time a farce happened in the Baldry's home, but this time you actually

kidnapped the daughter of the Glover family!"

It took Kaliyah a long time to react. She looked at them in confusion. "H- How did you two know?"

She was very secretive when she did it, so Matteo probably would not tell her parents about it.

"How did we know? The Glover family is furious. All the collaborations that the Packer Group has accepted are now

ruined! How dare you ask us how we knew!" Bryan was furious.

Earlier that morning, several business partners called simultaneously to inform him that they wanted to terminate

the contracts. He did not even have time to explain. Then, he finally met someone he had known for a long time

who told him the truth.

Her face was pale, but Bryan's face was even more grim. "The foundation of the Packer family is unstable.

Originally, we relied on the connections from the Baldry family to gain a foothold. Now, because of what happened

last time, Cason has completely ignored us. I initially wanted to ask him for help, but as soon as the call was

answered, he asked me to return the equipment that I borrowed!"

Bryan was so angry that he almost could not breathe. Becky cried and clutched her chest.

Kaliyah looked at them in despair. "Yes, I've told you that he wants to divorce me and sue me. Even if I don't agree,

nothing can be done about it."

"Look at what you've done! It's going to be New Year soon. This is the first New Year's Eve after our family returned

to Seattle, but it's going to be celebrated like this!" Bryan was heartbroken.

Kaliyah's eyes lit up. That's right! It's almost New Year! Even if Cason wanted to get a divorce, he has to wait until

New Year is over.

"Dad, I'm sorry, but I have a reason to do it." She was unable to tell everyone about Samuel threatening her.
