The Devil's Love For The Heiress by LiLhyz

Chapter 35:

Hailey’s Chance “We think… your father may be alive”

The words that left officer Baker’s lips echoed in Carlos’ head. He did not know for how long he sat there, thinking. Ilis mind wandered back to his father’s wake Carlos recalled how his mother never let him sec Manuel’s lace because of his father’s injuries. He felt a headache coming his way, Irying to identify those who peered inside his father’s coffin.

The accident that resulted in his father’s death was a head on collision with a truck and resulted in a fire, barely recognizing the bodies of both vehicle drivers,

‘Uncle Ethan and aunt Sam, I’m sure they had a look,’ Carlos thought. Then, Carlos’s voice came through with the recollection of how the police went to his mother about the accident. He stammered into his reply, “I think… the police identified him properly. I remember how, aside from his private things, there was a DNA test done.”

“Teeth. I already checked,” said officer Baker. “They identified your father’s DNA through his teeth.”

“I prepared the findings of your father’s death for your reference,” the police officer said. “It says there, your mother failed to order a DNA test ahead before his body was embalmed, but since there were teeth pieces in the crash site, they matched it to your father’s.” “I can’t blame your mother, though. She must have been so broken-hearted. Sometimes, loved ones find it hard to decide on such matters. They tend to be more focused on their grief.”

Carlos fell silent again. He massaged his jaws and said, “If my father is alive, I see no reason for him to hide and deprive us of his presence. He – he loved my mother so much. They were so in love that my mother fell sick. She became depressed and followed him to death.”

“Unless there is a reason for that too,” said officer Baker. “Anyway, Mister Ronaldo. I could be wrong. Signature analysis is not a hundred percent reliable, considering we only had a few samples of your father’s signatures to compare it to.” “It’s just that this discovery of how this signature matches your father’s just… baffles me,” he added.

“This could be a case of forgery too, a good one at that,” Carlos suggested. The officer nodded but still countered, saying, “Yes, but we tested it. You are right. If it’s a forgery, it’s a perfect one.”

Carlos walked out of the police headquarters with many questions in his head. He was already prepared to have his father’s body exhumed should it come to that.

Police officer Baker promised, however, they would dig deeper. They meant to ask Hugo Bonnet about how he made the will and interrogate his men about it, too. He certainly hoped the answers to his questions would be answered soon.
