Brian gazed at her, his eyes swimming with unspoken thoughts.
After a pause, he probed, “Is that the reason for the new lock?”
“Yes,” she confirmed.
A wave of remorse washed over Brian for his ignorance.
At a time when she needed support, he had unwittingly let her face the ordeal alone.
“Rosa, whether you now have the pendant or not, I’m with you. We must inform Mrs. Moreno

Rosalynn glanced at him and said, “We should await the DNA test’s conclusion. What if it’s erroneous?”
“I believe we should redo the DNA test,” Brian suggested, shedding his guilt.
Lyndon nodded in agreement.
Rosalynn, recollecting someone shadowing her that morning, grasped their implication.
The test results could have been falsified.
“Could it be that someone, wishing to prevent Rosa’s return, orchestrated the traffic accident to end her
life?” Lyndon suggested, linking the accident to the DNA test results.
Rosalynn remained silent and consented.
Lyndon directed his gaze to Brian.
“Mr. Hughes, it’s crucial that you immediately investigate who encouraged the driver’s actions.”
Brian hesitated, then responded, “Yes, we’re considering Beal, the Moreno family’s butler, as a
suspect.”
At this revelation, Lyndon showed a flicker of surprise.
“Beal? Selina’s father?”

Lyndon’s eyes narrowed.
“Back when that unfortunate incident befell Mrs. Moreno’s daughter, she collapsed from sorrow. Her
husband was preoccupied with her care, leaving Beal to handle the child’s funeral arrangements. Yet,
the baby girl was alive at the time, wasn’t she?
And Beal, rather than informing them, secretly sent her away?”
His speculation had a ring of plausibility to it. Rosalynn, her fingers tensely curled, felt a chill at the
thought of human malevolence.
Perhaps Beal orchestrated this for Selina’s sake.
