Chapter 43


    The files mentioned that Lysander spent the night with a woman named Celia Everhart.


    Celia’s dad kicked the bucket when she was just a little squirt due to sickness.


    Celia lived with her mom, aunt, and cousin, who was her aunt’s daughter.


    Her aunt, named Evelyn, hailed from Rivertown, Eldoria. She was a bit of a wild child, she had a kid out


    of wedlock and couldn’t register the kid’s identity So she moved to Hollowbrook and registered her


    daughter under Celia’s parents’ names as Thssa.


    Thssa had been using her mom’s ID card all along, which exined why shed tell Lysander she was


    from Rivertown, Eldoria.


    However, five years ago, Celia got whacked by a copsing old house during a heavy downpour,


    leaving only her mom, aunt, and cousin in the family


    Thssa was no saint. She had a sticky finger habit since she was a kid, she even got nabbed for it


    and spent some time in the mmer, so she had a criminal record.


    With the record, Thssa found it tough to get a job or do anything, so she’d been out and about using


    her mom Evelyn’s ID, pulling all sorts of scams, doing odd jobs, and reeling in men.


    Now, the janitor at the Sinir Group named Thssa was Celia’s cousin


    Just like the file said, not only was she good at getting men all wound up, she was a crook too!


    Lysander didn’t see iting that she was also a thief and had even been tossed into the police station


    for stealing.


    How could such a woman be Celia’s cousin?


    They grew up together, could their characters be somewhat simr?


    Lysander had a poker face and deep ck eyes


    Maybe he could figure out Celia’s character from Thssa


    After all, they grew up together, under the same roof, and received the same upbringing


    Even if Thssa’s character wasn’t exactly like Celia’s, it certainly had simrities


    That night, if it weren’t for Celia saving him with her body, he’d be pushing daisies by now


    And that night, amidst the thunderstorm, he tried to have his way with her.


    She bit him hard, and he felt her helplessness and fear


    The taste of her lingered in his mind.

    She was irreceable to him and she was the only past he couldn’t forget. He longed to find her and


    apologize deeply.


    No wonder he found Thssa familiar; it turned out she grew up with Celia and lived under the same


    roof for over twenty years.


    Celia and Thssa must have simrities, that’s why he sensed familiarity with Thssa.


    Although Isabe was Celias cousin, he never had a soft spot for her, she was just like a stranger


    If it weren’t for Isabe being Celia’s cousin, he wouldn’t let her step foot in his office.


    After skimming through the files, Lysander put the files back, and his deep gaze fell on Faye: “How


    much green did you give the Everhart family back then?”


    Lysander gave Faye 5 million dors back then and asked her to help Celia’s family with it and


    distribute it among her rtives and friends.


    He didn’t ask for the nitty-gritty because he had always trusted Faye’s ability to handle things.


    Faye was a bit guilty, but she hid it well. She sat up straight and answered Lysander directly: “I gave


    them 3 million. The remaining 2 million was handed over to her other rtives and friends.”


    “Yes, Faye gave me and another uncle 500,000 each At this point, Isabe also came forward to


    defend Faye,


    After speaking, she swiftly nced at Faye, who also silently returned the nce.


    The two exchanged tacit understandings; this was the understanding that they had developed over the


    past five years.
