Chapter 1101 Secret
Chapter 1101 Secret
Eudora left the funeral on the hill with a profound sense of sorrow. It was difficult for Eudora to comprehend and come to terms with the fact that someone who bore a striking resemblance to herself had passed away, regardless of any grievances they had in the past. She remained in the car for a while until Colbert joined her. Noticing Eudora's somber mood, he stepped out of the car, circled to the passenger side, opened the door, and positioned himself by the side. Leaning forward, he pulled Eudora into his arms, comforting her, and reassured her, "Don't let their words get to you; they don't matter." Eudora shook her head, expressing her doubts. "I can't shake off the feeling that something is amiss. Jervis said Alva's death was staged as a suicide; it seems more like a homicide. Who is the culprit behind it all? And who is the one who took Giles away?" The countless interconnections revealed to Eudora that the matter was far more complex than she initially thought. "I feel that..." She conveyed her desire to delve deeper into the matter. A woman's sixth sense was very spot on, and Eudora had a keen feeling that this matter was anything but usual. The urge to investigate grew strong within her. While she was lost in her thoughts, Colbert suddenly uttered, "The Baldwin family's situation has nothing to do with you, and Glenn and his spouse are focusing on resolving their company's issues. They have plans to leave Kenison City. It is likely that Giles is not missing but has been secretly sent abroad by them. It seems that he may have offended someone in the business community." "Your analysis is logical, but..." Eudora shrugged off Colbert and frowned. "If, just like you said, Glenn has enemies in the business world, then who would it be? Who did he offend? In all of Kenison City, besides you, no one could have pushed the Baldwin family to a dead end like this." Colbert could not come up with a reply to that. Their eyes met briefly, and Eudora's burning gaze remained fixed on Colbert, her eyes keen and penetrating, seemingly seeing right through him. He paused briefly, then nodded and confessed, "Yes, it was my doing."Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Eudora was wholly baffled and questioned, "Why?" Colbert answered, "Alva's passing is, without a doubt, not my doing. However, I never planned on letting the Baldwin family off the hook for what they did to you. It just happened that Alva's incident occurred while I was dealing with the Baldwin family." Colbert sighed in frustration, propping one hand on the door frame and the other on the car door frame. He frowned. "The Baldwin family needs to be taught a lesson." It was the truth. These things had nothing to do with Colbert whatsoever. Yet, if he did not confess to being the one who forced the Baldwin family out of Kenison City, Eudora's interest in the hidden perpetrator would intensify, and she would take it upon herself to investigate the truth. Colbert agreed to Kevin's request, promising him to keep the secret and vowing not to disclose the truth to Eudora. It was preferable to let her remain in that state of misunderstanding if she had indeed misunderstood. "So it is you!"
