Chapter 1419 Disappointment
Camille's discovery and questions momentarily stunned Ayan, as it was something he hadn'tanticipated. However, his only point of suspicion was Brody's unwillingness to pay for Vere'sransom, but it didn't raise any further doubts in other aspects.
Now, Camille's words caught him by surprise, and he told her, "You both come back. I'll have Kianlook into this matter. As for that side, let Kian arrange for someone to keep an eye on it. Youshouldn't stay there anymore."
If there really were people behind Regina, then Camille and Grace staying here might meansomeone is also watching them from behind.
Camille found his reasoning valid and agreed.
The two drove back to Franklin Bay, and only then did Grace express her astonishment. She askedCamille, "Is it because of that uncle Vere mentioned?"
"That's just one thing. Did you notice there are men's clothes in Regina's bedroom? I checked thesize, and it doesn't fit Dad."
Brody is slightly overweight, but the clothes in Regina's wardrobe are obviously not the right size.
That's one point. The second point is Brody's attitude and reaction to Vere's kidnapping. Of course,he would be anxious, but it's not intense. If he were truly worried, he would act without hesitation.novelbin
But Brody's response has been hesitant, and perhaps he's starting to have doubts?
Lastly, there's the uncle Vere mentioned. Vere probably didn't have any suspicions, but Camilledoes.
One revelation after another leaves Camille with no choice but to think more.
During dinner that evening, Horace also came to Franklin Bay. The four of them sat together andhad a detailed discussion. Although it's just suspicion, the current situation gives everyone thefeeling that it's possible, and highly likely.
But it's still under investigation, and since they don't have a specific target, it will take some time.
Then Grace thought of Camille's proposal, which is to handle Brody the same way they dealt withRegina at the police station today. If Brody is suspicious, they can confirm those suspicions andmake him utterly disappointed in Regina, full of regret.
Grace said, "I'm already adept at it. I'm sure I can handle this."
She won't fall for Brody's plan.
Camille had no objections, and Ayan naturally had no objections either. After dinner, Grace askedHorace to accompany her, and they left.
After they left, only Camille and Ayan remained in Franklin Bay.
When they were alone, they naturally didn't talk much about this matter. Instead, they held handsand took a stroll around the neighborhood.
Ayan said, "The preparations for the project with Tillery's Corporation are almost finalized. Once it'sconfirmed, let's take Timmy and our parents to go on a trip for a few days."
"What about going with Grandpa?" Camille asked subconsciously.
Ayan smiled and said, "No wonder Grandpa dotes on you the most. You always think of him. Howcan he not dote on you?"
Camille just glanced at him lightly and said, "Isn't this a normal question? He's still living in thenursing home. We were busy and didn't get a chance to visit him when we went home a few daysago. If the whole family goes on a trip at this time, he might feel left out, right?"
Ayan smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa will come along too. We won't go too far. We'lljust go around nearby for a few days to relax. As for the two of us, we'll go to a farther place for afew days when we go on a business trip in the future."
"Great!" Camille felt relieved. She smiled with satisfaction.
The two walked back and ran into Sienna and Rex. The two of them were also taking a walk afterhaving their fill, all influenced by Camille and Ayan.
Because Sienna and the others had just started, they exchanged greetings and had a briefconversation before going their separate ways.
Camille and Ayan returned home, and Kian sent them a video clip.
They sat on the couch and watched it. The video featured Vere and another man. Tonight, the mandelivered something to Vere's doorstep and stayed in the villa for a long time before leaving. Kiansent the video immediately after the man left.
The man's face was clearly visible in the video, so Kian immediately looked him up.
Ayan had some recollection of this man. He had gone bankrupt two years ago after losing hiscompany to a partner due to his gambling addiction. This incident caused quite a stir in Hance Cityat the time, so Ayan naturally had some impression and familiarity with his face.
Since going bankrupt, the man had been involved in some shady activities, frequently gambling atmajor casinos to make a living. However, Ayan didn't know the specifics. It was Kian who conducteda detailed investigation after finding out about him.
Kian said, "Mr. Simpson, this Georgie Newton recently came into possession of a sum of money hewon, but the losers have been looking for him. They probably want to retaliate, so he's been hidingand avoiding any appearances. Should we take advantage of this and approach him proactively?"
"Hiding and avoiding, you say?"
"Yes."
"Then let's tell the losers where he's hiding and offer him a helping hand when needed. Let himconfess everything; otherwise, we'll reveal the location of his child to the losers. He should be wellaware of the consequences."
Ayan said indifferently, and Kian immediately understood his meaning. Although Ayan said this, hewasn't actually planning to go that far; he just wanted to threaten Georgie.
Now that they had found this man, the next step was a paternity test to reveal the truth.
While Ayan received this news, Grace had no progress on her end.
Brody refused to say anything, even when told that Regina had betrayed him and had turned all heranger towards him. He remained silent.
Brody's reaction made Grace furious, causing her own emotions to become highly agitated andirritable.
Seeing her reaction, Brody simply smiled faintly and said, "Grace, you're still too naive. If you wantto get information from me, you should find someone else. I raised you, I know what you're
thinking."
Brody knew that they still didn't have concrete evidence against him, which is why he chose torespond this way and avoid getting caught.
He didn't take the bait.
Grace's face turned cold at his response, and she asked, "So you don't think you've done anythingwrong to Mom at all?"
"This is between me and your mother. It's not your place as a younger generation to question me."
"Dad, at this point, you're still acting like an elder? Mom died because of you. You and thatdespicable Regina conspired against Mom for so many years. Aren't you even a bit remorseful?"
"You think she didn't know anything?"
Brody's indifferent counter-question silenced Grace once again.
