Chapter 1239


    "Dinner." Lamar was preparing to take Raeleigh and Jazelle to dinner. The person who just left


    stepped out with a silver box. When he saw Lamar, he bowed at him and greeted him, "Sir."


    "Well, you can leave. If something happens, then I''ll contact you. I wish your mother a speedy


    recovery."


    "Thank you." The man turned around and left. Before he left, he nced at Raeleigh. The man


    looked familiar, as though she had seen him somewhere before, but she couldn''t remember.


    After he left, Raeleigh went to have dinner. She then asked Lamar, "How do you know him?"


    Lamar removed the bones in the fish for Raeleigh, ced it back on the te, and he then did the


    same for her Grandma. Then, he answered her question. "I''m investigating how you were taken


    away from us all those years ago."


    Raeleigh ced her cutlery down and looked at Lamar.


    Lamar continued to remove the fish bones for Raeleigh. He knew that she liked eating fish. That


    night, they were eating all kinds of fish and she really liked the smaller ones. So, he had asked his


    staff to prepare them for dinner. They were all fresh and very tasty.


    Raeleigh didn''t respond. Lamar continued, "Actually, I''ve always wondered who took my daughter


    away."


    "Didn''t you say that it was those people who took me away?" Raeleigh was talking about the people


    who had forced Lamar to lie about the incident.


    Jazelle said, "Baby girl, you don''t know this yet, but your father and I were invited out to the country


    at the time. When we arrived, we didn''t see any of the people who had invited us. Instead, we met a


    different group who told us to pretend to be strong."


    "Do you mean that those people who invited you out there were the ones who tricked you?"


    Lamar looked at Novalie and said, "What do you think about this?"


    Novalie thought about it. After being here for the past few weeks, she knew what kind of person


    Lamar was. He took care of her as though she were his own mother. Novalie was also quite blunt.


    "This matter isn''t a simple one. If we don''t find out the truth, then it will prove to be quite


    troublesome in the future. If you ignore it, then the other party might not let things be. They''ll want to


    tie up any loose ends they have." "If your missing daughter never returns, then it''s considered done


    with. But if you find your daughter, then things will take a turn for the worst."


    "No matter how big and secretive your manor is, there will be a day when it gets out. If so, it will be


    very hard to deal with it. If the other party knows that you''ve found your daughter, then no matter


    what the reason, they will not let you go."


    "Reiming your family now would be the worst thing you can do. You can avoid hurting people, but


    you can''t show mercy to anyone."


    "You''re right." Lamar looked at Raeleigh and said, "We have already informed the public that you''re


    my daughter- in-w, but we''re all still a little worried. We can only protect you in our own way."


    "I know, I just feel a little strange. Who even wants to take me away? Does someone have a feud


    with you?"


    Raeleigh tried to think, who might have tricked her parents into traveling into Capital City to take


    their daughter away from them?


    Lamar looked at Raeleigh and said, "Your mother and I have never done wrong by anyone. Some


    people just don''t like us, so they may have acted out."Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    "But... we can''t exclude the possibility that some people didn''t mean to take you away, but only


    wanted to ruin our reputation."


    "What do you mean?"


    Raeleigh didn''t understand. Lamar pondered this for a moment and said, "If your mother and I had


    epted their threats and yed pretend, then they would have control over your mother and me


    for our entire lifetime. They might have exposed this matter to the public and ruin our reputation."


    "But we didn''t do it. Maybe they didn''t expect that. Then, they carried you away in a fit of anger."


    "So, they didn''t hurt me. They just wanted to take revenge on you to vent their anger." She had


    already summarized what had happened.


    Lamar served some more food to her. "Maybe. They didn''t want to hurt you. They just lost you by


    mistake."


    Raeleigh kept silent for a while and said, "But I don''t think the fire in the orphanage was an


    ident."


    Lamar considered this and said, "I got your brother to investigate this matter. He told me that


    someone had deliberately started the fire, but nobody found out who it was. They started an


    electrical fire. That is the most difficult type of arson to identify."


    "But they made a big mistake."


    "What mistake?" Raeleigh asked with a puzzled look.


    dazelie, who was worried about Raeleigh''s IQ, said, "Baby girl, I''m really worried about your IQ. I


    thought you were worried about your EQ, but I didn''t expect to be so anxious about your IQ. This


    was man- made arson. The people responsible wouldn''t have done it personally. One person


    wouldn''t be able to do it. They would have colluded with others tomit their crimes. Although this


    wasmitted many years ago, it''s easy to figure it out after all these years. Did you know that?"


    Raeleigh looked at her mother nkly. The people around understood what she said. But she didn''t


    carefully analyze what she said. It was the arsonists who burned the people in the orphanage to


    death, but they couldn''t have burned themselves to death.


    Finding those people would be the breakthrough they needed.


    Raeleigh was speechless after hearing that her intelligence and emotional intelligence were both at


    concerning levels.


    What kind of parents talked about their children like this? Both their EQ and IQ levels were at


    concerning levels too.


    "I see," Raeleigh replied with a red face. Jazelle raised her hand and touched her hair. "Baby girl,


    you should be more careful from now on. Don''t get fooled."


    "Ok." Raeleigh nodded. She never expected her mother to be like this.


    Novalie was eating happily. She said while she ate, "Actually, Raeleigh is very smart. She''s just a


    little lost when ites to rtionships. This is all my fault. I didn''t get to teach her about it. You can


    take good care of her in the future."


    "Granny, it''s not your fault, It''s my fault. It''s all my fault that I didn''t take care of my child." Jazelle


    was very kind. She always ced the me on herself. Novalie looked up at Raeleigh and said,


    "You''re just one person. At the very least, you gave birth to the baby safely. Sometimes, Raeleigh


    acts just like you. It''s obviously someone else''s fault. But you don''t need to bear the responsibility."


    "Granny..."


    "Well, let''s eat. Forget I said any of this."


    "Let''s eat."


    Lamar gave Novalie a meatball and she happily ate it. The family continued eating their dinner.


    Raeleigh nced at her grandmother, who was seated on the opposite side of the table. After she


    had dinner, she went to rest with Novalie. Jazelle was afraid that her daughter might get lost, so she


    sent Novalie to have a rest. She was waiting downstairs and would look at the door upstairs from


    time to time, like a child.


    Raeleigh talked for a while in Novalie''s room while Jazelle waited for her toe out. Her husband


    reminded Raeleigh to have some soupter that night. She was quite busy preparing the soup. She


    took care of her daughter much more earnestly than she would with a baby.
