There was a frown on John’s face when he responded, “No, I’m not.”
Meanwhile, Zack had in hand some documents that needed to be signed by John, then said, “Yeah, from what I
recall, you don’t have plans to travel today.”
John’s gaze was on Zack before it traveled to the documents Zack held, but it didn’t linger on any of those,
eventually settling on a nearby window. It wasn’t until then that John turned to return to his office.
Upon settling into his seat, John took the documents handed to him by Zack, during which Zack said, “By the way, I
launched an investigation on the Baileys, but to no avail. They seemed to have covered up their tracks, so I didn’t
get much out of it.
I then went on to investigate the Morgans, as I thought they were more likely to be the suspect. Before I say
anything, would you like to make a guess on what I found?”
John lifted his head slowly to look at Zack. Despite the lack of an expression, John had a stern air about him that
intimidated Zack, so the latter opted to spill everything out. “I found out that while Sally and Simon had nothing to
do with the incident, the Morgans were still somehow involved in it.
The suspect this time around was their mother, Leah Zimmerman. She went shopping that day and had met up
with Tom, so this should explain everything.”

fault. It was the mere result of John being sucked into his own thoughts. After hanging up Logan’s call earlier, John
left his office without thinking, as for a second, his rational mind was overpowered by his instincts. All he wanted
was to go check on what Ian was doing while hanging around Sophia.
The fact that Ian did that made him feel uneasy, but upon thinking about it, he figured he didn’t have anything to
worry about. He knew since long ago that Ian hung around Sophia because he liked her. Someone who liked Sophia
couldn’t possibly harm her, so he had nothing to worry about.
John shut his eyes while crossing his arms on the table, only to hear Zack asking, “Should I inform Logan about the
results?”
With an irritated look on his face, John waved Zack off, saying, “Yeah, just tell him everything.” Truth be told, he
didn’t even know what Zack would tell him.
Zack left the documents on the table before turning to leave, seemingly not in a hurry to get the documents back.
While John retrieved the documents to look through them, he had a hard time absorbing any of the information,
which led to him putting them down before hitting himself on the head. I must be crazy for thinking about those
things.
Meanwhile, Zack gave Logan a call to tell the latter of his discovery, which sent Logan into a fit of rage. “So it was
Bryce’s wife! I always thought she was a shady character, so I was right all along! Just wait and watch while I turn
her into minced meat!”
If he were to be honest, Zack wasn’t entirely sure why Logan was that angry. “Although Leah was in cahoots with
Tom, she didn’t actually deal you any damage. You are largely unharmed, so I would say she wasted her efforts.”
With a scoff, Logan said, “I didn’t come out unscathed.”
Back then, Tom and his gang were in the private room in the backyard, but two of the clubhouse’s attendants were
shut out from the room. Both of them used to play games with Logan, and both were quick-witted.
Although none of them knew what Tom and his gang were doing, they had a rough idea that the gang had to be up
to nothing good. It was then that the police came, who made a fuss out of things.
