Lyndon, still smiling, nodded slightly.
âLetâs wait for Sheldon,â he suggested.
âOkay,â Elma responded, her tone reflecting understanding and patience.
As she watched Lyndon exude nobility, a sense of satisfaction grew within her.
She wished he could be staying with them forever.
Suddenly, Lyndonâs phone rang, interrupting the serene morning.
Picking it up, he recognized his assistantâs number.
âHello,â Lyndon answered.
âMr.
Fernandez, Iâve got some clues about what you asked me to investigate,â his assistant reported eagerly over the line.
Lyndon had tasked his assistant with investigating who had sent a dead mouse the previous day.
His expression turned serious.
âWhat have you found out?â
âDo you remember Elmore, the man you had incarcerated?â the assistant inquired.
Lyndonâs eyes narrowed as he searched his memory.
âElmore?â he repeated, struggling to place the name.
âHeâs the one who committed numerous illegal acts because of his connection to Franco,â the assistant clarified, trying to jog Lyndonâs memory.
Lyndonâs memory clicked into place.
He recalled a prior incident where Elmoreâs son had bullied Sheldon, and he had personally witnessed it.
Acting on his protective instincts, he had ensured that Elmore faced legal consequences and sent him to prison.
âSo he orchestrated this?â Lyndon asked, seeking confirmation.
âNo, it was actually his brother-in-law who orchestrated it,â his assistant clarified.
He continued, âWith Elmore in prison, his relatives have been impacted to some extent.
His brother-in-lawâs business depended heavily on Elmoreâs connections.
After Elmoreâs incarceration, his business suffered significantly.
Blaming Miss Larson for his downturn, he decided to retaliate by causing trouble.
â
Lyndonâs expression hardened as he processed the information.
âHand over the evidence to the police and let them handle it,â he instructed firmly.
âUnderstood,â the assistant replied.
After a brief pause, Lyndon added another directive.
âAlso, arrange for bodyguards to protect Tilda and her family discreetly.
â
âWill do,â the assistant affirmed, ready to follow through on the protective measures.
After Lyndon ended the call, Tilda and Sheldon emerged from the bathroom, ready to start their day.
