Chapter 275 The Plot Thickens

“Because of the unique identities of the guests on the ship, it might take some time before we get the results of the investigation,” Miles reported honestly. “Apart from that, Melody didn’t travel abroad. After meeting Jean, she stayed in her room the entire time.”

Hence, she asked Jean to impersonate her for some other reason. “Apart from that, she’s also related to Ms. Reece’s problem with her previous company.”

As the truth was slowly revealed, Edgar’s face darkened. This was not the answer he wanted to hear. “How long has it been since Uncle Edbert’s son passed?”

Miles did a quick mental calculation. “Five years.” “Go to the office,” he ordered, pinching his forehead in the meantime.

“Yes, Mr. Royden.” He understood the conflict between Melody and the Royden family. It was precisely because of this, so that Edbert remained abroad at one of their child companies.

Even though he said he wanted to stay after returning, it was clear that there were some other unspoken reasons behind that decision – one of them was the truth behind Valerie Royden’s death.

Jean walked for a long time before hailing a cab home.

As soon as she reached home, Brigid welcomed her immediately. “Are you alright, Jean? Oh, no! You’re injured!”

She rambled about something as she held Jean’s hand, but Jean couldn’t focus on her voice. She only felt her head getting heavier.

“Brigid, I would like to rest.”

She felt nauseous, and had a terrible headache.

As soon as she lay in bed, she fell asleep.

Upon seeing that, Brigid wanted to call Edgar, but seeing that it was still early, she put it off.

In no time, the doorbell rang. Melody appeared with a doctor.

“You are?”

“Mr. Royden asked us to come here. Since Jean is injured, he asked us to check on her.” Melody took her sunglasses off and looked around her.
