Chapter 1366 Cliff answered swiftly, “I haven’t managed to find anything about the benefactor yet. Even her
neighbors and relatives don‘t know about the identity of this person. Only Shermaine herself knows.” ; She was the
only person who knew?
That was certainly suspicious.
It did not make sense that her family was left in the dark as to the identity of the benefactor considering they were
the direct beneficiaries as well.
Moreover, what reason would she have to keep her family out of the loop?
It must have been done deliberately.
Cliff asked, “Sir, should we bring her here and ask her directly?”
Odell shook his head. “She‘s very cautious , we can‘t let her know about this ongoing investigation.”
“Alright, I understand.” Cliff suddenly asked, “This is everything that I can find at the moment, do you have any
other suggestions?“.
“Continue trying to find leads, we‘re not in any rush.”
They had no choice but to play the long game since
whoever was backing her hid their tracks very well.

a pen with his free hand and drew a circle on a crucial point in the document. It was eleven years ago when this
mysterious benefactor first appeared.
Without this benefactor, she would never have had access to higher education and everything that happened after
that, what with her saving Madam Carter and entering Carter Corporation would never have been possible.
The focal point was this mysterious benefactor. Could this mysterious individual be the one pulling the strings and
guiding her every step of the way?
Ding!
Suddenly, his phone vibrated.
It was a notification from the group chat with Sylvia and the children.
It would appear that Aunt Tonya was added to the group as well.
Flint sent a voice message to the group using Aunt Tonya‘s phone, “Mom, what are you doing? I miss you so
much!”
Shortly after the message was sent came Isabel’s message, “Flint, don’t
“Flint, don’t you have anything better to do?”
Flint replied, “Sister, aren’t you in class now? Why are you on your phone?”
Isabel answered, “It’s lunch break.”
Flint: “Ohh, where’s Brother? Why isn’t he saying anything?”
Isabel: “He’s sleeping.”
Flint: “I miss Brother, can you take a picture of him sleeping?”
Isabel: “You sleep with him every night, haven’t you seen enough of him?”
Flint: “I want to see him! Please take a picture.”
Isabel: “No.”
Flint: “You’re scared of getting in trouble with the teacher because you’re playing with your phone in school aren’t
you?”
Isabel: “I’m not scared.”
Several seconds later, she followed it up with another message, “Hey, I’m not playing with my phone in class! If you
keep spouting nonsense again, I’ll kick your butt the moment I get back from school!”
Flint taunted her. “Oh, I’m so scared!”
Heh. Odell chuckled after he finished listening to the chain of messages. He put the phone away after.
That was when Sylvia suddenly sent a text message into the group chat, “Isabel, put down your phone and pay
attention in class. Flint, please stop playing with Aunt Tonya‘s phone. Get Uncle Sebastian to take you out for a walk

if you‘re bored but promise me to not wander away from him, understand?”
Flint answered, “Okay!”
His voice was full of affection.
Isabel suddenly replied, “Just you wait, you fatso!”
Flint cried for help, “Mommy, Sister wants to bully me again.”
Sylvia was struggling to hold back her laughter. She forced herself to reply in a tone as stern as possible,“ Isabel, if
you keep playing with your phone in class, I‘ll confiscate your phone when I get back.”
Isabel seemed to take the warning seriously, “Okay, Mom. I‘ll turn off my phone now.” Flint was very obedient as
well. “Okay Mommy, I‘ll give the phone back to Aunt Tonya.”
His voice was as adorable as ever.
Sylvia replied, “Okay, be a good boy at home. Mommy should be back within the next two days.”
Flint exclaimed happily, “Okay! I‘ll be a good boy and wait for Mommy to come back!”
