Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Paul's face went pale. He bit his lip so hard he tasted blood before speaking in a hoarse voice, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Keegan remained unfazed. He replied calmly, "Playing dumb won't get you out of this."

Paul said nothing more. He hurriedly opened the door and left.

A few minutes later, Aldor walked in. "Mr. Kane, they're in the car."

Keegan nodded and sat back in his chair, silent.

Aldor sighed, "We found Dillon too late. She was already dying from a terminal illness. If it were me, I'd want to spend my last days in peace. Bringing up that old case now would only destroy what's left of her life." Keegan responded, "Dillon isn't Dillon anymore. Imagine how devastating it is for someone who has no problem with their gender identity to be forced into a different one."

Aldor paused, realizing Keegan had a point but still couldn't fully grasp it. "But if she doesn't care anymore, cooperating with us would be the best choice. If she gives up the person who contacted her, we could track down Darcie and bring her to justice. Wouldn't that be the best way to avenge what happened?"

Keegan was quiet for a moment before replying, "Her lover was burned to death."

Aldor was puzzled.

Keegan then asked, "Why did Paul's parents deny his death and claim it was his wife who died in the fire?"

This was something Aldor couldn't understand either. Why would they say their daughter-in-law had died and not their son? And how did the daughter-in-law end up looking like their late son after plastic surgery? It didn't add up.

Confused, Aldor asked, "Mr. Kane, what do you think happened?"

Keegan thought over the details in the report Aldor had given him and pieced together a theory. "Paul's parents were well-known in the local Chinese community and lived comfortably. Paul was hardworking and had a bright future. Do you think they would have accepted a foreign woman with no background as their daughter-in-law?"

Aldor hesitated. "It depends on the person. For instance, your mother wouldn't have been happy about that, given her attitude towards your wife over the years. But if it were the chairman, they might not care as much.

Keegan shot Aldor a glare, making him clear his throat awkwardly. "Mr. Kane, please continue."Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
