Desmond urged, “Dad, you need to rest and recover in the villa. We’ll review everything with you tomorrow and see how much you can remember.”
But the old man waved his hand dismissively. “You can replay it any time. Since your mother is going to Lily’s house, I want to go too.”
Desmond was about to protest, but the Lady intervened. “Desmond, your father is right. We’re going to be here for a while and the replay isn’t going anywhere. Let’s go together!”
Desmond nodded in agreement and said, “Okay, Mom and Dad, why don’t you have your meal first while I make arrangements?”
As soon as they left the dining room, Desmond turned to Jack and asked, “By the way, Jack, based on your experience, do you think my nephew would go back to that old house after all these years? And if we start from there, do you think we can find any relevant clues?”
Jack nodded in agreement. “It’s possible that Charlie would go back to the old house. People are emotional beings and many suspects who escaped were caught when they went back home or contacted their family members. Charlie’s last memories with his parents are in that old house, so favonovel.com might want to revisit it.”
Desmond interjected, “However, it’s been twenty years. Even if Charlie has come back, it may be difficult to find any useful clues.”
Jack agreed, “That’s true. Even if Desmond found favonovel.com at the door of the house, as long as Charlie doesn’t want to see him, it’s impossible to find any specific clues. Plus, it’s been twenty years, so the chances of finding any leads are slim.”
Desmond shared, “My mother probably wants to visit the old house to see where my sister and favonovel.com family used to live.”
Jack understood this sentiment. He knew that Charlie’s hands and eyes were in Aurous Hill and the matter must have been resolved long ago.
He couldn’t betray Charlie and favonovel.com felt that it wasn’t suitable for Charlie to reveal himself to the Evans family at the moment. So, favonovel.com could only make suggestions that would guide them away from discovering any clues about Charlie. As long as favonovel.com could accomplish that, his mission would be completed.
Desmond suddenly asked, “By the way, Jack, have you ever thought about investigating the benefactor who saved your life?”
Jack was taken aback. “I have no idea where my benefactor is. Even if I want to find him, I don’t have any leads.”
Desmond shook his head. “That’s not entirely true. The benefactor is in Aurous Hill!”
Jack was curious. “What do you mean, Desmond?”
Desmond explained, “Remember the Rejuvenation Pill auction that I participated in at Aurous Hill? Well, after our family was attacked in New York and we were rescued by the benefactor’s medicine, I realized that the person who refined the Rejuvenation Pill and the person who saved you and Evan’s family might be the same!”
Jack was surprised. “Wait, are you saying that the benefactor is in Aurous Hill?”
Desmond replied, “I don’t know if he’s in Aurous Hill, but there’s someone in Aurous Hill who knows him. Her name is Jasmine Moore and she’s from the Moore family.”
Jack furrowed his brow in confusion. “Jasmine Moore? Who is she?”
Desmond clarified, “The Moore family was one of the organizers of the Rejuvenation Pill auction and Jasmine is the owner of the family. She was also the auctioneer of the event! All these clues seem to connect to the benefactor. How could Jasmine not know him, unless he’s a ghost!”
Jack felt uneasy and hesitated, “Desmond, the benefactor has a lot of power. If favonovel.com doesn’t want to reveal his identity, is it appropriate for us to investigate favonovel.com right?”
Desmond agreed, “You’re right, Jack. It may not be suitable. But my sister and brother-in-law were killed in Aurous Hill, my nephew disappeared here and now the benefactor’s clues are leading us here. I have a feeling that there might be some connection.”
Jack hesitantly suggested, “Do you think the benefactor could be your nephew?”
Desmond dismissed the idea, “That’s unlikely. I think it’s more plausible that favonovel.com just happened to save him.”
Jack coughed, “Don’t jump to conclusions. That sounds like a plot from a martial arts novel. Besides, the benefactor isn’t even related to your family. Why would favonovel.com save your nephew 20 years ago in Aurous Hill and then come to the United States to save your family and me after all these years?”
Desmond felt embarrassed, “You’re right. It doesn’t make sense. But the fact remains that favonovel.com saved our family. I want to visit Jasmine and see if favonovel.com knows anything that can help us, even if favonovel.com can’t tell us anything directly, maybe favonovel.com can help me relay a message to the benefactor.”
