Chapter 291
The tenant in this building is a distant relative of Keeley’s.
Ever since his parents passed away, Keeley lost touch with most of his relatives, except for a few hestill occasionally connects with. He would’ve practically forgotten these people even existed if it weren’tfor Seraphina tracking them down.
After tagging along with Seraphina visiting several relatives, he finally got the gist of what she wastrying to find out.
It wasn’t about him she wanted to know, but his parents.
This answer caught Keeley off guard, but with Seraphina meeting so many people and askingessentially the same questions within two days, her objective was crystal clear.
She inquired everyone about his parents’ life, including their living conditions, workplaces,relationships, as well as an arson case. Regarding the arson case, Seraphina didn’t dig in too deep,merely asking if they’d heard his parents mention it.
However, all the relatives Keeley visited gave the same answer: they hadn’t heard of it.
As for what the case was about, when and where it happened, and who was involved, they knewnothing.
But according to Seraphina, her looking into these matters had nothing to do with Keeley. She’d lostinterest in him and was more intrigued by the people behind him.
But how could the people bhim possibly have any connection with his parents and an arson case?
Leaving his relative’s house, Keeley pondered for a while before heading to a friend’s house who wasonce close with his parents. Seraphina hadn’t been here yet, but when Keeley asked the friend aboutthe arson case using Seraphina’s line of questioning, he seemed to have some recollection.
“Now that you mention it, I kinda remember. It was not long before your parents’ accident.” He said,“Your parents seemed to have seen the fire and mentioned it when they came to work the next day. Butno one knew how serious the fire was at the time. It was only reported in the news after your parents’accident, three or four people died in that accident. It was a big deal.”
Upon receiving this information, Keeley immediately left for the Sunburst Serenity Library.
He first looked up the case online and got a rough idea of the arson case from some early web pages.Then he went to the library’s newspaper archive room to find various reports about the case at thetime.
The case was initially classified as malicious arson or even murder, but in the end, it had no resolution,and no one was prosecuted or sentenced for it.novelbin
After going through these materials, Keeley left the library and went straight to Carney Artful Reverie.
But when he arrived, he was told Seraphina was not there.
Keeley didn’t leave. He waited at the door.
When Seraphina received a call from a Carney Artful Reverie employee, she just chuckled and replied,“Let him wait, I’m not planning to go back to Carney Artful Reverie today or tomorrow.” After hangingup, Seraphina instructed her driver to head home. She wasn’t in a rush.
However, Seraphina didn’t expect to see Keeley waiting for her when her driver pulled up to ReynoldsVista Retreat. “It seems someone’s waiting for you.” The driver remarked. Seraphina, who was reading
some documents in the back seat, looked up to see Keeley. His initiative was truly impressive. Nowonder Naylor picked him for the job. Seraphina initially planned to let him wait for a few more days,but his eagerness was a good thing.
When Keeley saw Seraphina’s car, he blocked its path forcing the driver to stop. Seraphina had nochoice but to get out. She and Keeley had known each other for a long time, and Keeley looked reallypissed off. His face, which was already dark, now appeared even paler, and he had a seriousdemeanor that emitted a strong sense of confrontation.
“What exactly did you find?” Keeley asked as soon as Seraphina got out of the car. She just smirked,“What are you asking about?” Keeley grabbed her arm and asked sternly, “What did you find about thatarson case?” The grip on her wrist was painful. She grimaced, pulled away from him with a force, andsneered, “Why so agitated? Seems like you’ve found out something too. Since you already know, whydon’t you investigate yourself? Isn’t it a bit ridiculous running to me?”
Keeley glared at Seraphina, his eyes full of rage. He had already investigated. He had looked intoeverything he should have. He shouldn’t have come looking for her, but he still had doubts. He felt thatSeraphina had led him to discover things he didn’t want to believe, so he wanted to find flaws in herinformation.
The arson case happened two days before his parents’ accident, and they were witnesses to the firethat night. Two days later, his parents died in a road accident. There was a suspect for the arson case,but due to insufficient evidence, the suspect was acquitted and released. The suspect’s name wasLionel Martin, a member of the Martin family.
Over the years, although he didn’t know who his employers were, he had noticed that most of thepeople they dealt with were somehow related to the Martin family, either directly or indirectly. But henever cared. Until today, when he saw the arson case and Lionel’s name.
If his parents were indeed witnesses to that case…
“What makes you think my parents’ accident is related to that arson case?”
Hearing this question, Seraphina suddenly burst into laughter. “You seem to know a lot already. Butwhy should I share what I’ve found with you? You’re one hell of a good son. Even though your parentswere killed, you’ve been serving the man who murdered them all these years, obeying his everycommand, killing everyone he wanted you to kill. I’ve never seen such a devoted son before!”
Provoked by Seraphina’s words, Keeley once again grabbed her tightly. “Tell me, how did you find thisinformation?”
“So you can get mad too, and you can feel anger too?” Seraphina seemed to be provoked as well. Shelooked up at him. “Now you know what it feels like for the people who lost their loved ones because ofyou, Keeley. This is your karma!”
Suddenly, Keeley pushed her away, took a few heavy breaths, then turned and walked to Seraphina’scar. He opened the back door and picked up the documents Seraphina had in the back seat.
Seraphina called out to him, but didn’t go forward to snatch back the documents. Instead, she turned toher bodyguard and said, “Retrieve my documents!”
The bodyguard quickly approached, but Keeley dodged him and hopped into Seraphina’s car, swiftlyscanning the documents.
The documents contained information about the Martin family, various cases related to the Martinfamily, the arson case, and several other accidents that happened around the same time as hisparents’ accident.
In other words, Seraphina was investigating not only his parents, but also other people.
Keeley picked out a few pages of documents, got out of the car, and walked straight up to Seraphina.“Are áll these people witnesses to the arson?”
Seraphina snatched the documents back in one swoop and said coldly, “You really think I’d tell you?Keeley, let me repeat, you deserve this!”
