Chapter 289

“Mr. Bennett, we followed your lead and actually dug up a clue,” the private investigator said, handing over a file.

“Just like you suspected, the one who sold those photos to the media was Cale. But do you know where Cale got those photos

from?” he added.

Lucas had come today to tell the private investigator to stop the investigation. He should’ve been over it by now. But before he knew it, he found himself asking, “Who?”

The private investigator seemed a bit reluctant to say the name, but he was paid to get the job done, and he wasn’t about to keep anything from his client.

After a brief pause, he finally said, “It’s your sister, Lydia.”

“No way.” Lucas denied it without a second thought. “Lydia is kind-hearted. She wouldn’t do something like this.”

But even as he said that, those doubts he’d tried so hard to bury started creeping back up on him.

He stared at the file on the table like it might bite him, but for a long moment, he just couldn’t make himself pick it up.

The private investigator was just a guy getting paid to do a job. He’d already done his part, and whether Lucas wanted to look at the evidence or not wasn’t his business, so he just sat there in silence.

After what felt like forever, Lucas finally reached out with a shaky hand and picked up the file. As he flipped through the pages, his face went pale, and his hands started shaking uncontrollably.

“This can’t be happening. How could this-” Lucas stammered. He had just managed to convince himself to trust Lydia completely; he never expected reality to hit him this hard.

His gut reaction was denial. Maybe the private investigator had gotten it wrong.

But the private investigator swore, “This is the result of several different detective agencies. If you don’t believe me, Mr. Bennett, you can have anyone verify it.”

As a private investigator, he’d heard all about how the Bennett Family doted on their long-lost daughter, so he wasn’t surprised Lucas didn’t want to believe it.

But he wouldn’t have brought this up if he weren’t absolutely sure.
