Lemira had never understood what connection the car accident had with the Sinclair family.
After all, their two families had never crossed paths before, and there was no history of bad blood between them.
But now she knew.
The Sinclairs had wanted to seize the site of the new energy project, so they bribed her parents’ driver—Evelina’s father.
A heavy weight pressed down on Lemira. “I looked into it. The Sinclair family members were all busy celebrating their win on the day of the accident. So who did they send to Lyria to carry this out?”
Orion hesitated. “Maybe the person in the back seat of the car wasn’t actually involved?”
“How could they not be? They were most likely working with the Sinclairs.”
Orion’s hands tightened around the edge of the table, his heart sinking lower and lower.
He was starting to realize that he himself had been set up by the Sinclairs.
He actually didn’t have to ride in the Sinclair family’s car that day, but something went wrong, and he ended up in that very car.
It was that car that caused Lemira’s parents’ deaths.
But Mrs. Amelia had covered everything up so well, he had always believed the crash was just an accident.
The more Orion investigated the Sinclairs, the more alarmed he became. It was looking more and more likely that the crash had been deliberately orchestrated by them.
Lemira clenched her jaw. “The Sinclairs bribed Evelina’s father, but he’s still alive. So who was actually driving that day?”
The clues pointed to the Sinclairs, but something about the driver still didn’t add up.
It took Orion a moment to find his voice. “If we can find Evelina’s father, we’ll finally get to the bottom of this.”
He had been investigating that auto dealership, but still couldn’t find any trace of Evelina’s father.
If Debby hadn’t managed to snap that photo, he would have started to doubt if he’d even seen the man.
It was strange—even he couldn’t track this person down.
That was very unusual.
Lemira took a deep breath. “Yeah. That’s the final piece of evidence we need.”
