Chapter 674: No Clue
"So, did you find out?" Erasmi asked as he adjusted the video equipment for his next upload.
"Not yet. When Grandpa asked me to send the money, he insisted I shouldn’t investigate, so I didn’t. Then, when we connected the dots and realized Ava was Cai’s mom, it seemed unnecessary to dig further. I still don’t understand why you’re investigating her now," Lucien continued as Erasmi paused to look up.
"Because she’s hiding something from me, and it’s driving me crazy. The only thing I’ve been able to uncover so far is that whatever’s bothering her stems from her past. I’ve already checked in with her ex-husband. He hasn’t even tried to contact her, so it must be something else."
"Yeah, I reached the same conclusion. Anyway, because of you, I’ve hired investigators and risked my neck. If Evana or the others find out what I’ve done, I’ll throw you under the bus," Lucy warned, his tone half-joking. "Here’s the interesting part: all records of her existence have been erased before her marriage to that old man. And they’ve been done so by our old man- Elijah Frost."
"Erased?" Erasmi asked incredulously. "How is that even possible?"
"I don’t know, but it’s like she didn’t exist before then. No birth records, no school records, nothing. It’s like she appeared out of thin air the moment she married him. So now the only people who can shed light on her past is herself. Or I’ve got a few contacts who specialize in this sort of thing. It won’t be easy, but it’s not impossible. We just need to be careful. If Ava finds out we’re investigating her, it could ruin everything."
Erasmi sighed. So either he dug deep into her past, opening her to hurt or he continuously try to get her to confess. the answer to that dilemma was obviously a no brainer. He would have to convince her to tell him.
"Drop it for now. And what about the other thing. Did you find out, who put the note in her purse?"
Lucien nodded" Yeah. But you don’t have to worry about it. The person who did it is dead. It seems it was Elena’s person who placed the note in Ava’s bag so that she would wreak havoc. But before she could, Elena passed away."
