Chapter 217

Seraphina invited Patrick to sit down in the lounge area, and personally got him a cup of coffee.

“Would it be pretty cheeky if I didn’t accept your invitation but still wanted to know about the case? Seraphina asked Patrick, looking him in the eye.

Patrick stared at her and slowly began to chuckle, “Usually, I can’t say no to a pretty face. Plus, you might change your mind after hearing about this

case

“Well, spit it out then, Seraphina said eagerly

1 need your help to look into this case because I’m somewhat involved, Patrick confessed, “I believe in your abilities.”

Seraphina stared intently at Patrick as he continued.

The case started with his friend Abel Jones.

Abel came from a big family. Although their business wasnt top-notch, they had a wealth of assets, complicated interests, and the family was rife with power struggles.

Six months ago, people started dying mysteriously within his family. To date, three stakeholders had lost their lives, including Abel’s father

The three people died in different accidents within half a year, leaving no traceable clues. The only suspicious part was

The biggest beneficiary of these deaths was the same person – Abel’s cousin, Mack Jones.

“That sounds a bit suspicious,” Seraphina commented.

Patrick nodded, “So, Abel has always suspected these accidents had something to do with Mack, but there’s no evidence. All three accidents left no signs of foul play.”

“So, the police can’t open a case or investigate, Seraphina mused, “You want me to help your friend investigate this case?”

Patrick fell silent for a moment, then chuckled bitterly, “No, you’re not the first person I’ve asked. I have another friend named Woody, he’s a journalist, and I asked him to look into these cases.”

“And then?”

Patrick looked at Seraphina and said slowly, “He met with an accident too, died in a house fire a month ago.”

Seraphing listened attentively. “Was it because he found something?”

“I don’t know.” Patrick confessed. “He didn’t leave behind any documents. All the information related to the cases was destroyed in the fire.”

“No way. The fire could destroy physical evidence, but not digital information, right?” Seraphina folded her arms as she sat on the chair

“Right,” Patrick agreed, “But there’s no information related to the case on any of his digital platforms.”

Listening to this, Seraphina slowly said. “Someone is covering up the truth.”

“But still, there’s no evidence” Patrick reiterated, “There was nothing suspicious about the fire.”

“That just means these cases were meticulously planned and executed. The person behind all this is no joke, Seraphina observed.

Patrick nodded in agreement. I got Woody involved in this case. I can say I brought trouble to him. So, I must learn the truth about this case.”

Seraphina fell silent for a while, then smiled. Tm honored you invited me to investigate this case
