Beyond the Divorce

Grayson looked at us, leaning back in his chair. "Even the Keller's Dairy poisoning incident remains a mystery. We investigated everything, but couldn't find a clue. I think there's something fishy here. The official conclusion at that time was that improper production processes led to issues in dairy products, and Helen's father ended up taking the blame."

"He was in prison until shortly before Helen fell ill, then he died in jail. After that, Helen got sick, had a cerebral hemorrhage, and remained unconscious until she passed away two years later. And in just a short time, Beatrice was admitted to the mental hospital.

"Everyone's statements aligned. Helen's father died in prison, and her grief was overwhelming, leading to a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. Similarly, Beatrice was deeply affected and went insane." Grayson spread his hands helplessly.

Lauren chimed in, "This doesn't add up. There must be a reason for all this. It can't be just a coincidence, right? If it really is related to Jocelyn, who did Helen marry? This is scary."

I followed his train of thought and felt a chilling shudder.

The three of us fell silent, and finally, I murmured, "I need to go to Gerby to see Beatrice. I can't just leave her in a mental hospital. If she really is mentally ill, I can bring her back to a psychiatric hospital here in Foswood. The Chandler family won't treat her well in Gerby."

Grayson shook his head helplessly. "It's probably not as simple as you think. The Chandler family won't allow anyone to see Beatrice. When our people were investigating this, they tried to verify Beatrice's condition, but it was impossible.

"Fortunately, I was prepared. The person I sent to investigate pretended to be a journalist. Otherwise, we might have alerted them. But the Chandler family might have caught on regardless. After all, your classmate, Theo, has been there to ask about her. Honestly, I'm worried that the Chandler family might have moved Beatrice."

I started feeling anxious. "Are you saying the Chandler family might have actually moved Beatrice somewhere else?"

Grayson nodded. "It's possible. The less traces they leave, the more suspicious it is."

"Something's off here," Lauren muttered.

I slumped in the chair, feeling powerless. "But we can't just sit here and do nothing. If something happens to Beatrice..."

I couldn't bring myself to think about it.

"There's no use being anxious now. It's been many years. We need to plan for the long term." Lauren patted my shoulder.

"Just wait. My people are

investigating the Kellers, including the cable factory director's accident If we find any clues related to those two cases, we can connect them to Helen, Beatrice, and a series of

events," Grayson assured me. "So

you need to be patient."

I sighed, feeling the weight of recent events. "Too much has been happening lately, but I still need to make a trip."

Grayson looked at me and said,

"Finish handling that first, and deal with Beatrice later. It's a good timex to take a breather. We can't make the Chandler family suspicious. If they really have moved Beatrice, we won't be able to do anything. When we get the clues, we can plan an attack." Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

I nodded in agreement. "Looks like that's the only way."

He stood up. "Alright. I'm going back to get some sleep! You've fed me well, now I'm exhausted."

I nodded again. "Go back and get some rest. If you hear anything, tell me immediately."

Grayson rubbed his face. He was clearly tired. "Alright. Bourdamun should be fine. You don't need to worry."

"I'm not worried about that. It's perfect. Fred will be here in a few days."

"I'll go, then. Let me know when you're free to catch up."

Lauren looked at me. "If you need anything, you can tell me. Ivanna is fine now, so I shouldn't stay idle."

"I have some important things to deal with at the moment. We can't delay the investigation into Dominic and Fred's plans. Mr. David from the Pierce family has been urging me to meet him with Atlas," I explained to Lauren.

"Mr. David?" Lauren seemed surprised.

"Yes, he heard about my marriage to Atlas and suddenly called him," I replied.

"When are you going?" Lauren asked.
