Chapter 735 - 729: Surfacing (Part 7)

Eddy Hawthorne’s voice deepened a few notches: "Not at the moment."

"What about that police officer back then?"

Eddy replied, "Gordon Dawson is already sixty, just retired not long ago. He’s back because of Poppy’s case from back then, working voluntarily. He’ll leave after this case is concluded."

Rouge Jarvis, over fifty, has been through so much, yet never encountered anything as complicated as what she’s facing now.

Giles Chambers, the coroner, is dead.

Her instinct told her he didn’t die by accident. Perhaps, in the third year, he discovered something about Poppy, like the original test samples were swapped, or maybe something else.

But he must have found something, leading to his silencing in the end.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but feel a deep sadness. If only she had sought further testing back then, perhaps the subsequent tragedies could have been avoided.

Suppressing this bittersweet emotion, she said seriously, "Eddy, I’ll provide all necessary resources. Call me anytime you need something, but please ensure Officer Dawson’s safety. I hope nothing happens to him."

"Rest assured, it’s my wife’s responsibility to ensure Officer Dawson is safe."

Rouge was deeply moved, "Thank you both."

"There’s no need for thanks. As long as Poppy hasn’t married Aiden Shaw, she’s still the daughter-in-law recognized by me, Eddy Hawthorne. I certainly won’t stand idly by."

Hearing this, Rouge felt moved and bittersweet again.

Eddy could hear her breaths becoming rapid, worried that her heart condition might relapse.

He softly and gently persuaded, "Rouge, don’t dwell too much on it. It’s been twenty years without uncovering the truth about Poppy’s death. Where there’s a lie, there’s truth. We will find some clues and bring justice to the Ford family."

"Alright."

She nodded, suddenly recalling their earlier conversation, "By the way, I’ve also found some important clues here. I’ll have Sebastian Ford check them out at the police station to see if there’s any breakthrough."

With the Ford and Hawthorne families seeking the truth together, their enemies will have nowhere to hide.

"A hidden blade could remain concealed for twenty years only because Poppy was presumed dead. Now, with Poppy alive, flaws are starting to show. We’ll soon find the real culprit."

Eddy was right; she believed in both the Ford family and the Hawthorne family.

"Alright, let’s get in touch later."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Rouge briskly walked towards Sebastian Ford’s room.

Inside the room.

Tiana Thorne looked at May Sloane, "Beauty, there’s actually one thing I’ve been wondering about but never got an explanation."

"What is it?"

When their brother suspected that Meredith Ford was the key behind orchestrating everything, she pondered over the entire matter.

The mastermind could only be someone related to Meredith Ford, someone wanting her to live a life of wealth and luxury, thus orchestrating everything.

But, why spare her life?

There was absolutely no need.

After much thought, she remained puzzled, "Beauty, tell me, in what kind of situation would a deranged person spare my life?"

May shook her head, unable to think of an answer.

"Let’s clear our minds and think without associating this with Meredith and me. Consider other scenarios. Let’s brainstorm together."

About a minute later.

May exclaimed, "Tiana, I think I might know one possibility."
