Chapter 270


    The truth was as clear as day. After leaving Thelma’s house, Frederick was eager to rush to the slums


    of Riverside Boulevard for an investigation


    Upon understanding Frederick’s intent, Chuck hurried forward to stop him, his face full of difficulty


    “Mr. Winston, it’s no use going there now You asked me to investigate the slums on Riverside


    Boulevard before, and I ve brought back the original file. It’s now gone because i was asked to retrieve


    it”


    Frederick turned to look at him, his piercing gaze making Chuck break out into a cold sweat. “Where is


    the file now?”


    Chuck swallowed, nervousness making his back slick with sweat.


    “You told me then that you were worried Ms. Yuna would be upset if she found out you were


    investigating her. So you asked me to dispose of the file… L. I put it through a shredder ”


    Damn il!


    He had originally focused on Yuna because of the photo in the file. The woman in it looked just like


    Yuna!


    Furthermore, the woman’sst name was the same as Yunas, which made him jump to conclusion


    without reading the whole thing


    Now, having heard the truth from Thelma, he was sure that the woman who saved his life fifteen years


    ago was not Yuna, but someone else


    If that was the case, the woman he had slept with two months ago could very likely be that same girl.


    A part of the truth was gradually surfacing, but Frederick couldn’t bring himself to feel relieved


    When Thelma had told him all this, the first person that came to his mind was Marguente


    But Marguerite’s appearance was far from “beautiful: On careful inspection, she seemed rather ill–


    favored, which was a far cry from Thelma’s description of “stunning beauty?


    So what exactly was the rtionship between Laverne and Marguerite? Where had things gone


    wrong?


    Frederick was at a loss.


    Seeing Frederick’s silence, Chuck thought that Mr. Winston was angry at him for shredding the file,


    therefore he dared not meet the man’s gaze


    He could already imagine Mr. Winston’s piercing gaze, and he knew he wouldn’t be able to withstand it.


    -Chuck kept his head lowered, about to apologize, when he heard Frederick’s uncertain voice, “The


    rtionship between Marguerite and Laverne remains a


    mystery.


    Chuck quickly lifted his head, realizing that Mr Winston was not angry, but full of regret.


    He quickly understood that Mr. Winston wished very much that Marguerite was the girl Thelma had


    described!


    His mind worked quickly toe up with the safest answer


    “Mr. Winston, could it be that Marguerite was so shocked by Laverne’s death that she began to im


    Laverne was her grandmother?”


    Frederick’s face fell at once, his gaze boring into Chuck


    Curse it!


    What had he just said?


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Didn’t that imply Marguente had suffered a mental breakdown, and had be mentally ill…


    But, it was a possibility


    Chuck lowered his head again, ready to admit his mistake.


    “Mr. Winston, I spoke out of turn, please don’t take it to heart. I think Marguerite’s words are worth


    considering I will definitely take this matter senously and investigate thoroughly!”


    “If you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll have your head!”


    “Mr. Winston, I won’t dare to do it again!”


    Chuck’s back was soaked with sweat But quickly, he thought of another possibility, He lifted his head


    slowly, carefully choosing his words After a long pause, he gathered his courage to speak, “Since


    Laverne is Marguerite’s grandmother, and the child who looks exactly like Yuna has always been living


    with Laverne, where could she have gone? Do you think Marguerite might have seen her? Shouldn’t


    we ask Marguerite? Chuck suggested hesitantly


    Frederick had thought about it, but it wasn’t the right time to ask Marguerite was still Immersed in


    profound grief, and Frederick felt a deep sympathy for her That’s why he couldn’t bring himself to ask


    her such a question now


    “Let’s discuss it after the funeral,” Frederick said, effectively silencing Chuck


    Although he wanted to suggest that Mr. Winston could confront thet ockwoods and demand the truth,


    Chuck thought better of it


    After all, he had learned today that the Lockwoods had not been honest with Mr. Winston


    Mr. Winston revealed his hand, they would probably spin an even bigger web of hes
