Chapter 826 "Mmm, that's the schoolteacher, a real looker, isn't she? But this one, can't quite make him out. All I know is Aiden, that boy's got looks that could kill. If he grows up keeping those looks, he's gonna be a heartbreaker. If you're looking to find him, you'll need to ask around his hometown folks; only they would know the ins and outs." Eventually, they stopped asking about Aiden and started inquiring about a kid known as 'the mute'.
Sure enough, a significant clue popped up soon after! They couldn't find the mute's parents, but they did find his neighbors.
Coincidentally, the neighbors lived in Jindale City! The local community leader said: "Their family's done quite well for themselves, struck it rich in the big city. They've been donating money back hevery year. This tarred road, the inte cables, and the newly built Hope Elementary are all thanks to their generosity. The whole family's got good hearts, never forgetting where they cfrom." The community leader even provided the neighbor's full address.
After gathering all the necessary information, Tarquin decided to check it out himself.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis clue was crucial, the only lead they had in their investigation into Keith's identity.
Being neighbors, they were bound to know a lot.
Elysia was still upstairs, providing counseling to the abducted children, and knowing her phone was on silent, Tarquin didn't call her.
After briefing his bodyguard and driver, he left.
Twenty-something minutes later, he and Lowell showed up at Joy Residence.
It was an old apartment complex, lacking even an elevator, forcing them to take the stairs.
Lowell grumbled as they ascended, "They said they made a fortune, right? Then why live here? This place has seen better days." It was a natural assumption; striking it rich usually meant moving to a more upscale area, not staying here.
Tarquin didn't bite, pocketing his hands and continuing upward with a stern look on his face, lost in thought. Aiden's neighbor, Tyler, lived on the sixth floor.
At first, Tyler was reluctant to talk, but then Lowell fibbed, claiming they were reporters from a TV station.
The government was planning to feature a documentary on acts of kindness, and they cafter speaking with the community leader.

"We can't take credit for such deeds. Imagine if the truth cout; the whole country would be up in arms against us! To be honest, it wasn't us who donated the money! Look at our living conditions; how could we afford to donate so much? That money, all of it was from Aiden!" Lowell was shocked, casting a glance at Tarquin.
Tarquin just frowned, seemingly unsurprised, as if he had expected this all along.
With a chuckle, Lowell prodded for more, "Who's Aiden, exactly?" Tyler's wife quickly fetched a photo album, proud as can be, "This is Aiden, handsand kind-hearted, a real good Samaritan!" Upon seeing the photo, Lowell couldn't help but freeze! The man in the album was Keith!
Lowell turned to Tarquin, who had a dark look on his face, remaining! ve sitent. Steadying himself, Lowell asked Tyler's wife,
"Donating is noble, but why didn't he m donate directly? Why through you?" Tyler's wife explained,
om "Aiden just wanted to do something good for his hometown without attracting attention guess he didn't want to bring up the past. If he becfamous, people would start digging into his history." Lowell pressed on, "What about the past?" Tyler's wife glanced at Tyler, hesitating. With a heavy sigh, Tyler finally said, "Aiden, that kid, had a rough childhood..." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
