The people who were taking care of Jacelyn packed up their things and left. When Jacelyn was left alone in the ward, she immediately called Evelyn and told her the situation.
Evelyn cursed after hearing it. “If this incident comes to an end here, wouldn’t our efforts all be for naught? This is such a brilliant plan. We can’t let it go to waste. If not, there won’t be another opportunity like this anymore.”
Evelyn was saying that she didn’t want to give up. Jacelyn asked tentatively, “Ms. Gurney, what do you think we should do?”
“Let me think about it. Let me think about it carefully…”
Evelyn muttered to herself. After a while, she suddenly cried out in surprise, “I have an idea! This method will definitely help you get in touch with Bobby.”
Jacelyn was shocked by her sudden exclamation. She didn’t speak and continued listening to Evelyn, whose voice was full of joy. “Didn’t William pay for your medical fees and didn’t hold you accountable? How about this? Go and meet William after you’re discharged from the hospital. Stop his car to thank him when Bobby is the one driving.”
“Well…” Jacelyn did not expect Evelyn to think of such a method. “This is indeed a good idea.”
Evelyn proudly said, “I’m so smart! How could I be this brilliant? Let’s do this! I will discuss with you the specific details after I think this through.”
At the Howard family, William called Bobby to the study to talk after answering Marcus’ call in the morning.
He told Bobby about the information on Leonard that Jaxon reported to him yesterday. “We’ve found out the identity of the man who looks like me. His name is Leonard Floyd. He is an investment expert and holds a few casinos. We have confirmed that he is involved in your incident back then.”
“This guy actually has connections to both sides of the law and has managed to cover his tracks well. It’s no wonder we couldn’t find him for so long.”
“That’s right. Leonard didn’t show up before this. He kept a low profile as if he didn’t exist. I truly didn’t expect we could find information on him. He is about to come into the spotlight with his activities.”
“Mr. Howard, I want to meet with Leonard.” Bobby requested.
“We will definitely meet with him, but not now. I have something I would like you to do.” William paused for a while before continuing. “Set out to the States immediately. I want you to investigate something for me. As for what, I will let you know after you reach the States.”
“Alright. I will fly to the States immediately!” Bobby followed William’s instructions and agreed to it.
After lunch, Silas sent Bobby to the airport while William went to his company. A few minutes after arriving at his office, Marcus came in.
“Mr. Howard, the woman who was injured, is Jacelyn Penham. According to the reports from the guards, she was pretending to be unconscious. She only woke up when she couldn’t hold her water in and went to the washroom immediately. As she was wearing a smartwatch, she must have contacted the mastermind behind this. When the police asked her why she ran into our car, she said she was chased by people trying to deceive her. She then panicked and ran onto the roads blindly. It’s like she’s trying to deceive a child.”
When William heard Marcus’s words, he burst into laughter. “What else?”
“I feel as though she has a purpose for running into our car. Since we’re not interested in playing her game, I didn’t report to you and recalled the people who were standing watch over her. I told her that we would not hold her accountable and ended this matter. Let her play her own game.”
“Well, you’ve made a good decision. I would make the same call.”
“Mr. Howard, do you think she’ll come looking for us again?”
“For sure!” William nodded. “Since she has a purpose, there’s no way she would let this go like this.”
“Since we’ve already put an end to this matter, what excuse would she make to come to meet us again?” Marcus asked.
“There are many reasons she could use. The best one would be to come and apologize to me.”
“Wouldn’t that be ridiculous? Would you meet someone like her?”
“Of course I’ll meet her.” William stopped laughing. “She didn’t come to see me, but to see Bobby.”
“Bobby? So she planned all of this for Bobby? No wonder you sent Bobby abroad. You’re setting up a trap for her.”
William nodded. “You should know what happened to Bobby previously. He was saved by a woman named Jacelyn.”
“So this woman is the one who saved Bobby. Doesn’t that make her Bobby’s savior?” Marcus asked with a surprised expression.
“I think so.” William gave an ambiguous answer.
Yes or no, William’s answer should have been definite. Why did he give such an ambiguous answer? Marcus was dumbfounded after hearing William’s reply. But William only smiled and said, “You will know the answer soon enough.”
Marcus left in confusion while Silas pushed the door open and came in. “Mr. Howard, Bobby has already boarded the plane and left.”
“You came back just in time. I was about to ask you to do something.”
“What is it?” Silas asked.
“Go to Bricksburg immediately and investigate someone for me.”
Silas was reluctant. “Is that person someone important? If not, could you send someone else instead? Bobby has instructed me before boarding the plane to take good care of Cade and Santhos. He wants me to send him updates of them every day.”
William glared at Silas. “Is this your excuse so you can get out of work?”
“It’s true. Bobby sees them as the apple of his eye. The other time when Raymond posted on his social media about them, Mr. Howard wanted to go and bring them back. Bobby immediately was the first one to join in.”
“You guys are unbelievable. Do you think Raymond has the guts to steal my sons from me? Stop with your nonsense. Go to Bricksburg immediately and investigate a woman named Jacelyn Penham.”
“Jacelyn Penham?” Silas felt that the name was too familiar. He thought about it carefully and said, “Isn’t she Bobby’s… Isn’t she dead? Or are you asking me to investigate someone who has the same name as her?
“It’s the same person!” William didn’t hide the truth from Silas. “Yesterday, our car hit this woman named Jacelyn. She resembled the woman who saved Bobby, but she was acting strange. I think that something fishy is going on. So I’m sending you to Bricksburg to get to the bottom of this.”
“Did you send Bobby away so we could investigate her? I see. I’ll leave for Bricksburg immediately.”
As William watched Silas leave, he picked up his phone and dialed a number. Fandrey answered the call with a resounding voice. “William!”
“Grandpa, are you busy?”
“I’m not. Your grandma and I are planning to visit Cade and Santhos this afternoon.” Fandrey sounded pretty happy.
“Valeria is free then. I’ll let her know later.”
“It’s alright. Your grandma will contact Valeria. I’m assuming you’re calling me for something?”
“Yes, I do have something to ask you. Have you seen someone in the States who looks like me? Or do you know of someone who looks like me?”
Fandrey was silent for a while. “Why are you asking about this? Did something happen?”
“It’s not a big deal. I’m curious as I’ve heard of this person who looks like me. Grandpa, am I right to say that you do know this person?”
Fandrey was silent for a while again before he said, “William, I do know a person who looks like you, but this person… he is dead. He has been dead for a long time.”
