“About Malcolm… Why didn’t you get a divorce after what he did to you?” Chadwick looked at her
worriedly. There were touches of emotions in hist eyes that Tabitha could notprehend. “Is it
because you can’t let go of him?”
“Of course not.” Tabitha had a clear idea of love and hate. When she loved. someone, she could pour
in everything and not expect anything in return, but once she decided to let go, she would never want
to drag things out.
She closed her eyes for a moment and when she opened them again, the cloudiness in the depths of
her eyes lifted. Now, hatred and determination. were clearly visible in her eyes.
“It’s because of Naomi. She killed my parents. I won’t let her have her way,”
she stated.
Chadwick had never seen that look in Tabitha’s eyes before and was shocked. He asked, “What
happened?”
Tabitha pursed her lips and gave a brief ount of the ident that happened eight years ago.
“I’ve been looking for witnesses to the ident that day but afterward, Naomi seemed to vanish into
thin air, and I couldn’t find her,” she borated.
Behind Naomi, there seemed to be an invisible power protecting her. No matter how hard Tabitha tried,
she seemed to make no progress at all.
Even the investigator Tabitha hired a few days ago ended up helping Naomi set her up.
Later on, she tried to look for the investigator named Vernon, but he disappeared. His phone couldn’t
be reached, and the detective agency he was from had even closed down.

Tabitha has been stuck on this incident for eight whole years without being able to find closure or even
find any clues. It had been so long that she now harbored a deep–seated hatred for the person behind
all this.
Chadwick didn’t know that Tabitha’s teenage years were so miserable and felt extremely sorry for her.
He asked, “Have you mentioned this to ric?”
If there was someone behind Naomi, he was afraid that Tabitha would be in danger if she were to
investigate alone.
“No,” she answered.
At the time of Tabitha’s parents, Raphael and Meghan’s ident, Tabitha had not met ric yet.
Although efforts were made to investigate after the fact, she was only 14 years old back then and could
not find any useful clues.
She thought that there was no end to investigating this matter. Thus, after she married into the Sinir
family, she didn’t bring it up to ric.
Unexpectedly, Naomi would appear again after eight years. ‘I swear I’ll find out the truth behind what
happened back then, and I won’t let her get away with it anymore!‘ Tabitha vowed to herself.
She could indeed turn to ric for help.
However, thest time ric found out that Malcolm was looking for a mistress outside, he was so
furious that his heart disease red up, If he knew that Naomi was her enemy, she did not dare imagine
what hist reaction would be.
ric favored her, and he was the only elder who cared about her. She could not bear to be the one to
give him another shock.
After listening to Tabitha’s exnation, Chadwick immediately offered, “I

have awyer friend, and she’s very well–known in the industry for being someone with a strong sense
of justice. Her name is Colette Ingram. I’ll introduce her to you, and she might be able to find you a
reliable investigator.”
Tabitha was grateful and thanked him. “Well then, when can I contact Ms. Ingram?” she asked eagerly.
Chadwick immediately called Colette and asked about her schedule.
They seemed to know each other quite well, and Tabitha began to calm down after realizing that.
Chadwick knew awyer who could be trusted.
After he hung up the phone, Chadwick said with some regret, “Colette has just taken a case and is
outstation. She’ll only be back in Xosa after a few days. When she’s back, we can make an
appointment for a face–to–face discussion then.”
Tabitha knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed in a short time either. “It doesn’t matter. I have
waited for eight years, so a few days more won’t be a problem,” she reassured him with a nod.
After a pause, she asked again, “About the auction…”
“I’ll go with you on time,” he answered.
“Thank you,” she replied.

Chadwick wore a light gray vest on top of a white dress shirt. His face was clean–shaven, and his
features were delicate, making him appear several years younger than his actual age. He attracted
quite a few people’s attention with his looks.
Standing beside him was Tabitha, who was wearing light makeup and smiling. ‘She looks so sweet and
endearing… But looking at her also makes me extremely angry, Malcolm grumbled in his mind.
Naomi followed Malcolm’s gaze and whispered, “Malcolm, Ms. Jarvis… Isn’t she badly injured? Why
isn’t she resting at home? Also, is that Mr. Eisenhart, the man who picked her up from the hospitalst
time?”
Malcolm’s hand, which was at his side, clenched tightly into a fist, so tightly that the muscles along his
arm were pulled taut.
Naomi did not grow angry at theck of a reply. She just sighed softly. “The way I see it, Ms. Jarvis and
Mr. Eisenhart are quite a good match.”
Malcolm’s face darkened instantly.
Tabitha, who had never attended an auction before, showed up today with Chadwick. She even
disregarded the wounds on her body that were yet to heal just to attend.
‘Fine, even if I misunderstood Tabitha and Chadwick’s rtionship before, what am I supposed to make
of her actions and behavior now? She’s carrying the title ofdy of the Sinir family, carrying the child
of a random uncivilized man, and now she’s coupling up with another man!” he scoffed internally.
Malcolm felt a sudden surge of rage wash over him. Between his furrowed brows, there was more
irritability than he could suppress.
