Chapter 632
Everyone in Xedells knew about the Faulkuer family. After all, Baykeep and Xedells were quite close to each other.
Therefore, Herbert know about Peter Faulkner.
Herbert thought that Xavier had only escaped from prison, but now, the man had also killed someone. The shock was visiblc on lis face as hic asked, “Did lic escape from prison to kill this girl?”
The driver sliook his licad, a gesture of him not knowing the answer to that. “General Zeigler, there’s something I’m not sure if I should voice out loud or not.”
“What is it?
“Jane was working at Genevieve’s company before her passing. She was also quite close with Mr. Sutton of Specter Corporation. Besides, you know that there’s bad blood between Ms. Sylvie and Genevieve…”
Herbert had been in the military for many years, so he could understand what the driver was trying to tell him despite the latter’s stammering words
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs a matter of fact, he even began wondering if Sylvie had deliberately let Xavier out of prison and asked him to kill Janc while she rcaped the benefits of the situation without dirtying her hands.
That very thought made Herbert’s hair stand on end.
He could not believe that his granddaughter was such a terrifying girl.
When the driver saw Herbert massaging his chest and looking unwell, he quickly added, “Please don’t get too emotional, General Zeigler. This is just a guess of mine. Ms. Sylvie is quite the obedient girl.”
“If she really is a good girl, would she have gotten someone to commit murder and abused her Uncle Phineus’ power to do all those misdeeds?” Herbert retorted.
Once Herbert’s heart stopped aching as much, he sighed tiredly. I know that Sylvie’s father might not be a good man, but Juliana was such a sweet girl. Yet, Sylvie doesn’t take after her at all…”
Everything that Sylvie had done was making Herbert wonder. The apple doesn‘t fall far from the tree, huh? Did Sylvie really take afier her father to have such a similar character as him?
Herbert was starting to feel suspicious.
He had been making frequent contact with Dartan for decades, but he had never been able to get any news of his daughter. However, one day, he had received news about her out of the blue.
The more Herbert mulled over it, the more doubtful he became. He then waved at the driver to get him to come over before whispering. “Find a way to get Sylvie’s hair with follicles. After that,
send her hair sample, along with mine, to the lab for a paternity test.”
“General Zeigler, didn’t you have a test with her before?” the driver asked. “Moreover, Zecler is the best DNA-testing center in Baykeep.”
If a place like that dared to falsify its test results, everyone working in that company would be doomed.
Herbert was silent for a moment before lic sighed. “I know, but I just feel that Sylvic is too different from Juliana. I have so many grandchildren, but look, how many are like Sylvic?”
The driver silently agreed with that. There were many grandchildren in the Zeigler family, and they worked in various fields. However, all of them were good people.
“Do the test in a different place this time,” Herbert instructed the driver. “Do it discreetly: don’t let Sylvie find out about this. I just hope my worries are unwarranted.”
The loss of his daughter had depressed his wife and later caused his wife’s passing. Herbert himself had spent most of his life yearning to see his daughter again.
It had taken him ages before he managed to find his granddaughter, but if his granddaughter turned out to be a vicious person, he would be devastated.
“Okay.” The driver nodded.
Herbert had no idea that a listening device was hidden in the vase on the square coffee table. Sylvie had heard his conversation with the driver.
Once their conversation ended, Sylvie took off her earphones, her expression gloomy as frustration rose in her chest.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe knew that Herbert had been mindful of her ever since she hired someone to kill another person the other time. Therefore, she had to be extra cautious.
Nevertheless, life was always surprising. Sylvie had never thought that a staff member at Zecler was Jane’s friend. When Sylvie had found out that Jane was looking into her actual relationship with Herbert, she panicked.
Sylvie had then sent someone to stop Jane’s friend.
However, she did not know whether the other woman was speaking the truth and whether or not the latter had acquired the original copy of her paternity test result with Herbert. Sylvie also did not know if the other woman would betray her in the future,
Right as she was at her wits’ end, Sylvic recalled that Jane had used to be engaged to Xavier. Later on, Specter Corporation had acquired many of Wood Group’s businesses, so Xavier would certainly despise Cooper. That was why Sylvic had sent someone to contact Xavier and let him out of prison to have him kill Jane for her.
However, the one mistake she had made was to contact the people working at the jail by using her uncle’s name.
Along moment later, Sylvie took out her phone and sent a messige.
The look in her eyes was a vicious one as she stared at the phone screen. I can‘t let that old man do another DNA test with me, or else / mdoomed.
