âMake a copy of the contents in this USB drive and investigate the events of Mr. Thomasâ
hospitalization five years ago, the videos of Esther, and what happened to her in prison and during childbirth,â Clark instructed, his mind filled with thoughts of the recorded conversation. âPay special attention to Lilianeâs matters.â
The bald man began copying the data from the USB drive while sharing some gossip he had heard with Clark.
âI heard that Mr. Bradley is planning to marry Ms. Anstey. Investigating her privately like this, isnât itâ¦â
âOur young Mr. Felix isnât Lilianeâs biological son, but the son of Esther and Bradleyâ¦â
Even as a private detective who had witnessed numerous dark secrets within wealthy families, the bald man was left speechless with shock.
âAre you suggestingâ¦â
Clark took a sip of his premium coffee and calmly stated, âI donât know the exact details of what happened back then, but I can confidently say that Mr. Thomasâ death had nothing to do with Esther.â
âIf Mr. Thomasâ death truly isnât connected to Esther, then that poor girl has suffered immensely!â
Spending the prime five years of her life in prison and being separated from her child right after giving birth?
What kind of grudges and resentments must have tormented Esther all this time?
âIâve copied the data, and Iâll investigate slowly. However, as you know, this is an incident. from five years ago, so itâll be challenging to investigate,â said the bald man.
Clark looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said gently, âWhat may be extremely difficult for others is just a trivial matter for you.â
In this world, birds had their own way, and snakes had their own path. As a detective, the bald man also had his own methods.
âClark, Iâve always felt that youâre too talented to be just a butler in the Warners.â
âMr. Thomas once saved my life,â Clark said calmly and composedly. âIf it wasnât for him back then, my whole family would have been doomed. He saved me and our family. Now that heâs gone, I want to stay in the Warners and wait for Bradleyâs life to be on the right track. Then, I can let go of everything and reunite with my wife and child abroad.â
âClark, youâre just too kind.â The bald man thought that with the Warnersâ wealth, saving Clarkâs family would be an effortless task. However, over the years, Clark had transitioned from being a driver to becoming a butler in the Warnersâ household, firmly rooted like a compass needle.
âAlright, Iâll leave the matter to you. Keep me informed if you have any updates. Iâll also investigate privately,â said Clark.
The bald man personally escorted Clark to the entrance of the residential complex. His eyes fell on a white car not far away, and his detective instinct made him shudder.
He quickly stepped up to Clark and advised, âClark, someoneâs following you. You drive ahead and try to lead them to a sparsely populated area. Iâll tail them.â
Clarkâs expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, âTake care of your safety.â
âDonât get in the car in a hurry. Check first to see if theyâve tampered with your car.â âOkay.â
After Clark got into the car, he started the engine and left the residential complex.
Meanwhile, the man in the white car made a phone call to Shane. âMr. Hoyer, that butler Clark has left the old residential complex. Should we follow him?â
âFollow him!â Shaneâs expression turned cold and fierce. âStay in touch with me at all times.â
