Chapter: 696

Many of the people Connor offended were plutocrats, and they had done many

questionable things.

Darren’s curiosity piqued, he inquired, “So this case is connected to your father?”

“It appears you’re already acquainted with my father’s reputation. No need for

introductions then,” Sabrina replied with a hint of amusement.

“Before I delve into my request, I must ask you something. Are you aware of the

kidnapping incident in Mathias that happened shortly before my father’s passing?”

Darren bowed his head slightly as he searched his memories. “It does ring a bell,” he

admitted.

“My father was investigating that very case at the time.”

Darren’s eyes widened with realization. “Have you uncovered something significant?”

Otherwise, Sabrina wouldn’t have sought him out almost a decade after Connor’s untimely

demise.

Initially, Darren suspected the influential plutocrats whom Connor had crossed were

responsible. But he never anticipated a connection to the kidnapping case.

Sabrina nodded, her gaze unwavering. “Are you willing to take on the task? If you agree, I

can disclose what I know. If not, I implore you to keep today’s conversation confidential.”

Darren met Sabrina’s gentle yet determined gaze, and a moment of silence hung in the air

as he contemplated the gravity of the situation.

His passion and sense of righteousness had been eroded over the years.

In his line of work, he had witnessed countless criminal activities that left him feeling

indignant yet powerless.

The harsh realities of life had smoothed out the edges of justice that had once defined

him.

Early in his career as a detective, he founded his own agency. However, when he refused a

client for moral reasons, the client reported him and threatened his family. Despite

Darren’s pleas for help, authorities did not assist him. The client reveled in his power and

boasted, forcing Darren to shut down his agency.

He realized that sometimes having a strong sense of justice didn’t always lead to practical

solutions, and the world didn’t always conform to his idealized visions.

The possibility of a conspiracy surrounding Connor’s death left Darren feeling hesitant. If

such a high-profile case had failed to yield any answers, it was clear that powerful forces

were at play.

His hesitation mirrored Sabrina’s expectations. She smiled gently and said, “I understand

your concern. While we might not collaborate, I appreciate your time and willingness to

listen. If you decline the task, I won’t hold it against you. I simply request your discretion.

Thank you.”

Sabrina’s understanding of his predicament made him feel guilty, and he couldn’t bring

himself to meet her gaze. “Your father would be proud of your determination, and I’m

ashamed.”

“You needn’t burden yourself with such sentiments. It’s in our nature to avoid risks. Maybe

I wouldn’t investigate this issue if it weren’t for my father. But the one I lost was my

dearest father, and I bear the duty to pursue justice on his behalf.”

If this matter was leaked, Sabrina would be in grave danger.

The people who did this to her father would not stop until she was silenced.
