“After that incident, Wayne let this poor little guy live with him. Of course, he looked into this case, but
he didn’t find anything. We just know that the babysitter on duty that day sneaked out. She does this
often because Matthew is an obedient and well–behaved child. She had snuck out before, and nothing
happened. But, Matthew had a fever that day.”
Karl remembered the details of the incident well. This was because he had never seen Wayne lose his
temper that much since he had known him Although Wayne always said that he didn‘t care about
children, and that he was forced to have children by his grandfather, Matthew was his child after all.
Wayne became anxious immediately after Matthew was in danger.
“How did they punish the babysitter?” Ryan asked.
“She was sacked, of course. Wayne has picked some new maids since he‘s been living with Matthew.
Whenever he traveled, he would bring Matthew with him. But, if Wayne can‘t take care of him, he would
let Ada do that. Ada was, of course, very cautious. After all, she was the only woman who could be
around Matthew at that time. You know, a lot of women wanted to marry Wayne and be Matthew‘s
stepmother.”
Ryan said calmly. “Well, I don‘t think so. It was not until that incident than Ada got to be around
Matthew and thus stay with Wayne. If you look at it this way, Ada benefited the most from the incident.”
Karl didn‘t hear the implication of his words and said, “Yes, that‘s what I meant.”
Anna immediately Ryan‘s implication that and asked, “Are you saying that Matthew‘s accident might
had something to do with Ada?”
Everyone froze.
Ryan remained calm, saying, “Oh, I‘m just speculating. You all know that Wayne didn‘t like to have
women around him. But, Ada was the only woman who could be with him. He didn‘t care much for her,
but if she could benefit from this accident, then it all makes sense.”
After hearing his words, everyone felt a chill down their spine. None of them could imagine that
someone could hurt a child and take advantage of him.
Anna thought of the psychological cases she had read about where people had traumatized children by
scaring them. Some children could be so traumatized that they refused to communicate with anyone
ever again.
Karl said in surprise, “Huh? What are you talking about? You‘re totally overthinking. I don‘t think Ada
would have the guts to do something like this, nor would she dare lie to Wayne. She was an obscure
actress two years ago, and no one supported her. So, Wayne asked her to pretend to be his girlfriend
in front of Mr. Wright.”
“We all know that desires can be endless. She became a famous actress in just two years, and I think
maybe it‘s because of Wayne.”
As everyone was silent, Ryan suddenly changed the subject and said, “Hey, why aren‘t you guys eating
your food?”
After the meal, Karl took the opportunity while he and Ryan were alone in the kitchen
washing dishes and asked bluntly, “Tell me, why do you know so much about this?”
Ryan glanced at him and replied, “Hey, it‘s the twenty–first century, and you can know a lot of things
from the Internet.”
“But why did you look up these things on purpose?” Karl was warier.
Ryan shrugged, looking at ease He said, “I‘m trying to find my memory. Maybe I‘m a student at the
police academy, or I‘m naturally sensitive to what‘s going on around me. I was just saying, and I didn‘t
mean anything. What‘s wrong?”
Karl frowned and said, “Well, you‘d better stop whatever you‘re trying to do.”
Ryan looked at him curiously and said, “What do you mean? What are you trying to tell me by saying
something like that?”
“Nothing But, I‘m warning you, if you don‘t want to get into trouble, you better stop talking about it. Don‘t
think everyone is a fool. This matter involves the interests of many powerful people, and it‘s not as
simple as you think”
Ryan raised his eyebrows and said nothing. Of course, he knew that enormous financial stakes could
drive people crazy
Karl thought that Ryan would stop talking about it after he warned him. He didn‘t expect that Ryan
would instead tell Anna all about their conversation before he left.
Anna felt a headache after sending them away. She just felt her mind muddled and in turmoil.
Karl meant that Wayne knew the truth about what happened back then? Then why did he keep acting
like he didn‘t know about it, and keep saying that Matthew just couldn‘t talk because he had a fever?
Could someone really take advantage of an innocent child for money and hurt him? Anna asked
herself..
She thought of Ryan‘s words, “Two years ago, shortly after Matthew‘s accident, Wayne‘s cousin
resigned as chief financial officer of the Carousel Group. His shares were all taken back by Mr Wright
in a legal way, and he was removed from the board. He was Wayne‘s strongest competitor It was only
after he left that Wayne became president.”
Wayne was the only child of the Wrights, but he had many cousins. Back then, several of them held
important positions on the board of directors or in various departments of the Carousel Group
Peter did tell Wayne in the past that if he didn‘t get married, he wouldn‘t be able to take control of the
company. So, to get the succession, Wayne got someone to give him a surrogate. So, in Wayne‘s
mind, Matthew might not be a child but merely a tool.
The more Anna thought about it, the more she felt a chill down her spine and shivered. She did not
dare to continue to think more, but reassured herself that perhaps she was just overthinking
In the evening, a beautiful woman walked into a bar in the suburbs. Soothing jazz music played in the
bar, and many people were chatting in the booths. The woman walked through the crowd, went straight
to the second floor and entered a private room.
When she pushed open the door, she was clearly very nervous
