Tilda didnât expect a response from him.
Instead, she quickly found another number on her phone and dialed it.
âMr.
Ruiz, how is the investigation going?â she asked.
Since her motherâs passing, Tilda had hired a private investigator, Dyer Ruiz, to look into Renataâs background.
She had always known Renata wasnât the type to stay loyal, but she had never paid much attention to her until Renata and Ivy caused her motherâs death.
Tilda had hoped to gather evidence of Renataâs infidelity to drive a wedge between her and her father before they could marry.
But now, with her fatherâs sudden decision, Tilda was running out of time.
This made her anxious.
âMrs.
Fernandez, Iâve found something,â Dyer said.
Tildaâs interest piqued.
âWhat is it?â
âRenata has been visiting a premium apartment twice recently.
Upon further investigation, I suspect she has a toy boy,â Dyer revealed Tildaâs eyes widened.
She hadnât anticipated this.
Her heart raced with excitement.
âDo you have any evidence?â
A man abhors being cheated on the most, especially someone as proud as her father.
If Dyer had proof, her father would never marry Renata and would even take drastic action against her.
âRenata is very cautious,â Dyer replied.
âAnd with limited time for the investigation, I can only speculate.
I havenât found any concrete evidence of her infidelity yet.
â
Tildaâs excitement deflated.
âMr.
Ruiz, today is Friday.
Iâll give you two days.
Can you find evidence by then?â
âWell, Iâm not sure,â Dyer hesitated.
Hearing this, Tilda became anxious.
Desperate, she pressed, âMr.
Ruiz, please, find a way to get solid evidence in two days.
â
Dyer sighed.
âIâll do my best, but I canât guarantee it.
â
With a heavy heart, Tilda thanked him and ended the call, frustration simmering beneath her composed exterior.
If she couldnât get the evidence, Renata would marry her father.
That was unacceptable!
âWho are you investigating with the private investigator?â Lyndon asked, breaking the silence.
âRenata,â Tilda replied, her voice tinged with bitterness.
âShe and her daughter drove my mother to her death.
I canât let her become my stepmother and get away with it, so I hired a private detective.
Unfortunately, he hasnât had enough time to gather substantial evidence, only discovering that Renata might be having an affair.
