“I know. Dinner’s ready. Call Madam Jazelle and Miss Raeleigh down for dinner later.”
Lamar stood by the window of the room and looked downstairs. He couldn’t see anything outside, but Jepherson was still quite a youngster.
However, he was looking for a son-in-law who had nothing to do with the riff-raff.
He was quite unlucky.
Turning around, Lamar went downstairs. A man then came downstairs and stood at the door waiting for him.
“I’m not a warlord. Why are you so afraid of me? We’re friends. There’s not much to discuss. You help me and I’ll give you a reward. It’s simple. What do you think?”
Lamar came down step by step, walked towards the couch, and raised his hand to invite the newcomer to sit down.
The man was in a hurry to remove his shoes. He walked towards Lamar, greeted him politely, and then sat down.
“Have you found a clue?” Lamar looked up at the other person. The person thought for a moment and took out the things he found and neatly placed them on the table.
“We’ve discovered some information, but the question was whether you’ll continue investigating,” the man said as he took out several more documents and placed them on the table.
Lamar picked up one of them. “The Delia family from Capital City?”
“Yes, the Delia family. The Delia family is also related to the Richards family. However, they haven’t been around all these years. Instead, they chose to remain here in A city. Sabrina, the daughter of the Delia family, is married to a son of the Richards family, Norton.”
“Norton and Hansen from the Richards family are quite different. Hansen wasn’t interested in politics and the military. He was only interested in the business world. His own son didn’t intend to join the military or politics.”
“However, Norton was handsome and a true master of politics. He was known throughout the world.”
“He was considered a legend.”
His wife, Sabrina, was a well-known general in the military world, and General Delia only had Sabrina as his only daughter. Wherever his daughter was, he would go to her without hesitation.”
“With the Delia family’s military assistance, this man, Norton Richards, was like a duck to water.”
“This is the crux of this matter. I have completed my investigation. The Delia family also showed up during my search. I mean, it happened in Capital City. It was a coincidence.”
Lamar said, “I believe that General Delia has a daughter too.”
“Yes,” the man said. Lamar placed down the materials in his hand and looked at the other documents. The person opposite from him began to explain.
“The Moore family’s status wasn’t very well-known at that time, and we couldn’t find out their connection to the investigation.”
“This is the Matthews family. The family is well-known in Capital City. Christopher and Hansen have a very good relationship. But strangely, at the time you told me about them, the Matthews family had disappeared.”
“Disappeared?”
Lamar frowned, and the other person nodded. “Yes.”
Lamar placed down the document in his hand and looked at the other three folders. One of them was the Richards family, another was the Whalen family, and the last one was the Scott family.
“The Whalen family appeared at the time, but Rayan was found to be upright and honorable. Although his background wasn’t very clean, he wasn’t the type of person who would use such means,” the man explained. Lamar laughed. “Of course not, he and I are friends.”
“Really?” The man smiled awkwardly. He didn’t find that out.
“Additionally, this Scott family suddenly appeared at that time and took over the village. Although he wasn’t very strong, her is very popular within the village. This person called Jacky Scott is considered the overlord of the village. He has great influence within the village.”
“But the Scott family wasn’t very suspicious. His parents were ordinary people. He had been a punk since he was a kid. He’s been quite famous until now.”
“As for what happened 20 years ago, he was just a child. It probably had nothing to do with him.”
“It just so happens that the Scott Family had recently entered Capital City, so I brought back his information.”
“I wouldn’t have asked for such a favor for nothing. I’ll give you an extra twenty percent of the profit later.”
“Thank you,” the man said and looked at the Richards family folder. “The only family I suspect is the Richards family.”
Lamar read the information about the Richards family. He reached out to open it. It had information about everyone in the Richards family.
“Mr. Osteen, we can clear our suspicions of Norton. I’ve checked on him. He wasn’t in Capital City at the time, and we’ve had no contact during that time.”
“Jepherson, Santiago, and Norton’s two daughters aren’t suspects. The suspect could only be Trevor or Hansen. Some of them have had contact with these people that you’ve mentioned.”
Lamar looked up at the other person. “Do you mean to say that it was the Richards family who took my daughter away?”
“You could say that.” The man was very sure. Lamar held the file and pondered for a moment. “I’ll give you another fifty percent. Continue to check on this matter for me. I will give you money whether this is successful or not. But I hope you’ll keep your promise and not let this get out.”
“I can do this, so I’ll head back first.” The man began to pack his things up. Lamar asked him to leave them behind. He packed them up and placed them back down. He turned towards Lamar who then called the housekeeper over. “Give him the sum of money. He needs this for a favor I’ve asked of him. Remember this and be sure to pay me back.”
The man smiled and nodded at Lamar, following the housekeeper to collect the money.
Lamar put the documents away and sat downstairs for a while.
Jazelle brought Raeleigh back downstairs. Jazelle watched Raeleigh eat every day and took care of her like a child who couldn’t speak and doted on her.
Raeleigh thought it was quite fortunate for her to have been taken away. Otherwise, she might have been spoiled.
When they went downstairs, they saw Lamar sitting down in a daze, holding something in his hand.
“Lamar.” When Raeleigh came down, she heard her mother calling her father tenderly. She sounded like she was very unhappy that her father was in a daze and didn’t pay attention to them.
Lamar looked back at his wife and daughter. They were like a pair of sisters.
“What is it?”
“What are you doing? Didn’t you even realize we had just come down?” Jazelle was unhappy. Every frown and smile looked coy. Raeleigh stood aside and quietly watched. This was her mother. If she didn’t know it, then she would have thought that she had been possessed by Deanna.
However, this was proof that her parents were quite loving to each other. Deanna was the daughter of her parents, and her mother was the apple of her father’s eye.
Raeleigh stood aside. Lamar stood up and said, “How many times have I told you to watch your toungue? You also have a mother-in-law. And you forget my words again?”
Hearing Lamar say that, Jazelle suddenly remembered something and spoke as advised, “I forgot, it won’t happen next time.”
“You say that every time, but you forgot everything anyway.”
Jazelle didn’t answer. She lowered her head slightly and thought of other things. Raeleigh laughed in her heart. Although she said this seriously, her eyes were full of love.
With such a husband, her mother was still so youthful, and almost the same age as her.
