“I suddenly thought of something,” Silas piqued up.

Shane looked at him curiously and asked, “What is it?”

“Seven years ago, I happened to see Sean and Mr. Thompson engaged in a conversation. I had been at the Thompson residence to retrieve some papers for you, and I stumbled upon them in the garden. Sean had been questioning Mr. Thompson about the whereabouts of a share transfer agreement.”

Running his hands through his hair in frustration, Silas continued, “I wonder if the agreement Sean mentioned was related to Wells Properties.”

“And then what happened?”

“I heard Mr. Thompson raging at Sean, saying something about Sean’s family being indebted to your parents and his audacity in claiming the shares. I didn’t think much of it back then. In retrospect, there were so many clues in their exchange.” Silas sighed.

Mr. Thompson must have been referring to Sam’s murder of Mr. Shane’s parents when he mentioned the debt by Sean’s family. If only David had been less ambiguous with his words. Someone might have connected the dots sooner, and Mr. Shane could have discovered the culprit behind his parent’s murder much sooner.
