Chapter 1038
You Hit My Heart
Yes, it didn't occur to him that Rodney did die during that time, when he
visited the Heath residence to offer his condolences.
He went to the downtown mansion of the Heath family with Jacqueline
and Shelly early the next morning after Rodney's accident.
He stood up and repeatedly paced around Mrs. Jamesâ office with a
strained expression.
Mrs. James seemed to have thought of something and waved her
hand, indicating Joe and his two assistants to leave first.
She, Miss Lee, and Luther were the only ones left in the room.
Outside the office, the morning was bright and sunny, but suddenly
became gloomy. Thick clouds soon covered the sun. Only some dim
silent and miserable light could leak out from the clouds.
Originally the day was a little cold, but because the heater was turned
in the office, they could not notice the slightest chill, but increasingly
hot.
Inside, the atmosphere was becoming more and more oppressive.
Finally, Mrs. James simply stood up and turned off the heater.
Luther closed his eyes and thought about it carefully. Yes, Rodney fell
down the stairs in the evening, and unfortunately died. It was said that
Rodney was trying to go downstairs to answer the phone when he
slipped and fell and had an accident.
"Miss Lee, when did Rodney leave the center?" Luther suddenly
stopped and turned around to ask.
"Mr. Warner, I just checked, and the last time I opened the file was over
four years ago, at 3:20 p.m. Plus the old Mr. Heath said a few words to
me and left before four o'clock.â Miss Lee affirmed, just before coming
to the office, she deliberately confirmed the time again.
"Mrs. James, this matter has been kept my heart for many years, and I
can finally say it today, and I feel much more relaxed." Miss Lee heaved
a sigh of relief.
"Well done." Mrs. James praised, "It's our duty to protect our client's
privacy, but when it's time to talk, you can't hide it. You did a good job.
Don't worry, there's Mr. Warner for everything."
Miss Lee nodded reassuringly.
Luther took a deep breath, âRodney left the identification center before
four o'clock and went home certainly before five o'clock. In the evening,
he fell down the stairs and unfortunately died. Who could believe it that
he was just being careless?"
Mrs. James stood up, "Mr. Warner, the matter is very important. Should
we call the police?"
"Not for now." Luther clenched his fist, he said solemnly, âYou guys
keep it a secret for me. If necessary, I will contact you to testify. All the
consequences, I will bear.â
"Good." Mrs. James obliged.
âThank you, for giving me important information.â Luther gave Miss Lee
a nod, "I will reward you handsomely afterwards."
âThank you Mr. Warner, Mr. Warner is very kind. I'm just asking for a
peace of mind.â Miss Lee bowed respectfully to Luther.
"Mrs. James, I'll go first, and we'll stay in touch." Luther grabbed his
jacket from the couch, nodded his head, and then flew out of the
identification center office.
Today, he gained too much.
The news was so big that he couldn't believe it himself.
It felt like things were getting more and more complicated, but at the
same time, the truth was coming out.
It was such a coincident, and Rodney must have found, or suspected,
that Charlotte may not be the daughter of the Heath family? Only then
would he come to the identification center to ask for Joyce's name.
However, Rodney died for no reason at such a critical moment.
