Chapter 1045 Is She Behind All This?
Eugene answered the call, "How is the investigation going? Did you find the driver's family?"
The last time when Marvin called, he was informed that the driver had committed suicide in prison, which made
him even more suspicious. So, he instructed Marvin to check on the driver's family.
Marvin reported, "I located the family, but they've moved out. It took me some effort to locate them. The driver
had a five-year-old daughter and a ten-year-old son. According to his wife, he didn't seem like someone who'd be
driven by lust. She mentioned that he was deeply devoted to his family, always came home on time, never stayed
out overnight, and entrusted all the money he earned to her for management. When the incident occurred, his wife
wanted to visit him, but her request was denied. However, there's something peculiar. There was a day when the
driver's son went missing. Upon thorough questioning, his wife revealed that it happened on the same day Azalea
was sexually assaulted by him. Fortunately, their son returned unharmed with 200 thousand. He claimed that a man
had rewarded him for playing games, but they had to move away from their previous home."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA chilling sensation gripped Eugene's heart. It became evident that someone had exploited the driver by using his
son as leverage.
"Have you managed to locate the surveillance footage of Princess Azalea leaping off the bridge?"
Marvin's voice came through. "Yes, I did. I was just about to inform you. The surveillance footage had been deleted,
but I recovered it with some assistance. In the footage, Princess Azalea was seen running on the bridge, and a
person was chasing her from behind. However, due to the distance, I initially couldn't recognize that it was the
driver. When I located his wife, she confirmed the individual in the footage as him. Unfortunately, the recording has
no audio, so I couldn't determine what they were saying."
Eugene asked, "Are the lip movements visible in the footage?"
Marvin replied, "Partially."
"Find someone proficient in lip reading to interpret it."
"Understood."
After hanging up the phone, Eugene remained silent for a while. At this point, it's difficult to determine whether she
had been sexually assaulted. How could a family-oriented man suddenly be overcome by lust and assault her? He
even committed suicide in prison, which is simply unbelievable. If it wasn't a sexual assault, why would he chase
after her?
Before he could fully contemplate the situation, the kindergarten had finished for the day, and he was not in the
mood to delve into these matters. He picked up the kids and took them to Muse Peninsula before starting to cook
for them and their mother.
By the time Olivia returned, he had taken care of everything. She looked at the children welcoming her from all
sides and felt a warm sensation. However, she noticed that Eugene appeared somewhat down today. After dinner,
the kids returned to their rooms to do their homework. She sat beside him and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you
seem unhappy?"
He reached out and embraced her. "I interrogated those three men today."
She raised an eyebrow. "I see. Who instigated them?"
He lowered his gaze while absentmindedly playing with Olivia's hand. "They are assassins from Samuel Court, but
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthey claim to be acting on behalf of someone called Aza."
She looked at him. "Aza? Are you suspecting that Aza is Azalea?"
He nodded.
She inquired, "If it turns out to be her, what is your plan?"
Eugene paused before replying, "I haven't figured it out yet."
Olivia analyzed. "But it doesn't make sense. If Azalea wants to be with you, shouldn't she target me instead? Why
would she go after the siblings?"
He replied, "That's something I'm figuring out as well. It could be related to the incident at the kindergarten gate
where the siblings defended you."
She asked, "What those three men said may not be reliable. We should conduct a thorough investigation to gather
more evidence. It's too early to draw conclusions based on this single clue."
He added, "There's also a phone number, but nobody answered when I called. They claimed that it was this number
that initiated contact with them."
She nodded. "Let North check it."
He said, "I've already given it to him. Do you think it could be Azalea?"
