“Boss, I just got close to the bodyguard that Gwendolyn brought with her and knocked him out when he’s distracted, but that bodyguard has a strong constitution, so he’ll probably wake up soon. Let’s keep our conversation brief!” Nico spoke softly with a cautious expression.

Son, who’s at the door?”

Upon hearing the sound, Frida sat up and looked in Nico’s direction.

Maverick blocked her view and said in a stern voice, “Mom, I need to go back to the villa. Be on your best behavior, and don’t bring up what just happened again. Remember what I said.”

“All right!”

Frida was a bit impatient, but thinking of her own plan, she smiled and waved at him. “Hurry up and go. It’s getting late. You should head back quickly.”

Maverick didn’t notice her unusual behavior, so he went out with Nico to have a conversation on the rooftop terrace at the old mansion.

Nico continued where he left off, “Boss, I found out that there’s someone in the Harris family with a similar timeline to Ms. Shalders, and that is the youngest daughter of the head of the Harris family, Marcus’ only daughter and the youngest of the family. However, she didn’t go missing. She was suddenly declared dead by the Harris family six years ago, and the cause of death remains unknown.”

Maverick’s brow furrowed tightly when he heard that.

The better it was hidden, the more suspicious it was.

Maverick asked, “Can we find a photo of this young lady in the database?”

“We can’t. Not only are there no photos, but even her name couldn’t be found. I’ve even heard that the Harris family held a very simple funeral for her, but there’s no information about where the gravestone is Boss, do you think this girl really died?”

Maverick pursed his lips.

After giving it some thought, he shook his head and said, “On the surface, the actions of the Harris family may seem like they don’t care about their daughter and don’t value her enough, but in fact, it’s quite the opposite. These actions prove that the Harris family loves their daughter very much and is doing everything they can to protect her safety.”

Nico thought for a moment and found what Maverick said quite reasonable. “So, could this young lady really be Ms. Shalders?”

“I can’t be completely sure, but I think it’s her.”
