Brian gazed at her, his eyes swimming with unspoken thoughts.
After a pause, he probed, âIs that the reason for the new lock?â
âYes,â she confirmed.
A wave of remorse washed over Brian for his ignorance.
At a time when she needed support, he had unwittingly let her face the ordeal alone.
âRosa, whether you now have the pendant or not, Iâm with you.
We must inform Mrs.
Moreno immediately and arrange your reunion,â Lyndon declared.
Rosalynn glanced at him and said, âWe should await the DNA testâs conclusion.
What if itâs erroneous?â
âI believe we should redo the DNA test,â Brian suggested, shedding his guilt.
Lyndon nodded in agreement.
Rosalynn, recollecting someone shadowing her that morning, grasped their implication.
The test results could have been falsified.
âCould it be that someone, wishing to prevent Rosaâs return, orchestrated the traffic accident to end her life?â Lyndon suggested, linking the accident to the DNA test results.
Rosalynn remained silent and consented.
Lyndon directed his gaze to Brian.
âMr.
Hughes, itâs crucial that you immediately investigate who encouraged the driverâs actions.
â
Brian hesitated, then responded, âYes, weâre considering Beal, the Moreno familyâs butler, as a suspect.
â
At this revelation, Lyndon showed a flicker of surprise.
âBeal? Selinaâs father?â
Brian stole a glance at Rosalynn, his lips tightening slightly.
Lyndonâs eyes narrowed.
âBack when that unfortunate incident befell Mrs.
Morenoâs daughter, she collapsed from sorrow.
Her husband was preoccupied with her care, leaving Beal to handle the childâs funeral arrangements.
Yet, the baby girl was alive at the time, wasnât she?
And Beal, rather than informing them, secretly sent her away?â
His speculation had a ring of plausibility to it.
Rosalynn, her fingers tensely curled, felt a chill at the thought of human malevolence.
Perhaps Beal orchestrated this for Selinaâs sake.
