Chapter 783: Chapter 783

Chapter 783 Caleb was quick on the draw, getting down to business with Bernard the very next day. But things didn’t pan out as expected “Mr. Laurence, I only found out that Robin’s mom is sick, that’s why he sent him to look for Vanya’s daughter”

“The nitty gritty? Only Robin, his mom, and his sister know the scoop. Even the Pine family is in the dark”

The Spencer family is a high–flying clan overseas, leaving the Pines and the Hoopers eating their dust.

Before Robin went off his rocker, he and Bernard were birds of a feather, tough as nails Even after losing a business battle with the Laurences, Robin took the reins of the Spencer family and bounced back in the blink of an eye.

But his condition often leaves him unable to think straight. Too much thinking sends him up the wall.

Robin often bellyaches about his health and bad luck, blaming them for his losses to Bernard Can’t say he’s wrong. If Robin was fit as a fiddle, he’d be a formidable foe for Bernard So, getting the lowdown on the Spencers ain’t easy, unless they spill the bears themselves. Bernard knew this, so he didn’t give Caleb a hard time.

He just told him to keep on digging until he struck gold Caleb pondered momentarily. To delve into the depths of the matter, he needed an ingenious guise to infiltrate Robin’s sister’s life. Only then could he unearth valuable secrets The hospital stood fortified, akin to the impregnable walls of Fort Knox Caleb’s associates found themselves barred from accessing Robin, forcing them to navigate through the enigmatic pathways of his sister’s world “In any case, Mr Laurence, rest assured that your honeymoon with Mrs. Laurence will be under vigilant surveillance. I shall commence my inquiries regarding Robin’s hidden agenda,” Caleb assured, his words carrying an air of intrigue.

Bernard remained silent, merely grunting in response.

Just as Caleb was about to depart, a sudden realization gripped him. He spun around and remarked, “Oh, Mr. Laurence, I recall you inquiring about the appearance of Mr. Penrod’s first love, correct?”

“Last night, my operatives returned to headquarters and clandestinely glimpsed the photograph Mr. Penrod had concealed. They discreetly captured an image and promptly forwarded it to me. Care to take a look?” he proposed, hinting at the clandestine discovery Bernard, who was about to go look for Eleanor, plopped back down when he heard this.

“Hand it over.”

Caleb quickly handed over his phone to Bernard.

The picture was yellowed with age, but it was in mint condition.

The woman in the picture was standing under a tree, dappled sunlight around her, a faint smile on her face.

She was a teen, beautiful, a bit green but obviously a looker.

Mr Penrod was gobsmacked when he first saw Eleanor, yelling “Vanya”

He thought Vanya was Tammie Pine, that’s why he was so shook when he saw Eleanor.

But the woman in the picture, Tammie Pine, looked nothing like Eleanor. They had different faces.

Evelyn mentioned that Eleanor and Vanya, pre–disfigurement, looked very much alike.

If Mr. Penrod’s first love was Eleanor’s mom, he would’ve approached Eleanor.

”

But Mr. Penrod just had a brief freak–out, then quickly regained his cool, didn’t go to Eleanor, didn’t even speak to her.

This means. Mr. Penrod probably only knew the pre disfigurement Vanya, got excited seeing an old friend.

Bernard thought, Tammie Pine might just share a surname with Vanya and nothing else But who was this Tammie Pine?

“Mr. Laurence..”

Caleb swallowed hard, pointed at the picture, and plucked up the courage to say:

“Do you think this Tammie Pine looks a bit like you?”

Chapter 1765 (END)

The eyebrows, the expression, the features, they were strikingly similar Hearing this, Bernard’s hand, clutching the picture, froze. His gaze was fixed on the woman in the picture.

There was a resemblance But what did it matter? Mr. Penrod’s first love couldn’t possibly be related to him, could she?

Bernard, having dispelled his previous suspicions, waved Caleb off impatiently “Don’t let Mr Pefirod find out someone snapped a pic of his picture.”

Anything involving Mr Penrod’s first love was likely to stir up a hornet’s nest. So, better safe than sorry, don’t want any collateral damage.

“Got it.”

Seeing that Mr. Laurence didn’t react to his words, Caleb didn’t press on He simply nodded his head and turned to leave Caleb refrained from revealing his investigation into Mr Laurence’s brother’s death. With pressing matters at hand, he postponed it. Unraveling Robin’s motive for finding Emilia took precedence, everything else could wait
