“He presented your parents with two options: either driving your father out of Xander Residence or
sending him to prison. Your father was a tough nut to crack, a very responsible man. He chose prison
over divorce for the sake of your mother and you.
“When your mother learned that, she fell out with your grandfather, threatening to cut ties with him if
your father was forced to leave. Consequently, your parents left without taking a penny of the Xander
family’s wealth.
“Initially, we tried to persuade them to return, but they stopped contacting us, perhaps because we
came on too strong. We even hired people to search for them for five years without success until the
police finally found them. It was then that we learned about your father’s passing.”
Caroline abruptly grabbed the blanket and turned to Thomas. “How did he die?”

Caroline’s eyes widened. “Did he take his own life?”

“What about the murderer, then?” Caroline asked anxiously.
Thomas and Greta displayed pain on their faces.
“We didn’t find any clues,” Thomas revealed.
“That’s impossible!” Caroline said, growing agitated. “There must be clues if he was murdered,

She stopped short, considering the possibility that the murderer was wealthy and influential. If not, why
would there be no evidence?
Thomas smiled bitterly and said, “We all know what’s going on, but we lack concrete evidence.”
Caroline suppressed her emotions and asked, “What about my mother?”
Thomas paused, his eyes turning red. Sobbing in pain, he continued. “Ellie took her own life. When we
found her, she had already consumed many sleeping pills.”
Greta was now crying profusely. “We didn’t see you when we found your mother, Carol. We didn’t even
know where you had gore. We only learned about your identity from Nell. Your parents‘ deaths haunt
us
with remorse and guilt because we couldn’t stop them from leaving in time…”
The ward was filled with tears.

and
didn’t know their character.
Was she sad? She had been sadder when Katie, her adoptive mother, passed away. But they were her
blological parents. As their daughter, she couldn’t accept her father’s mysterious death.

Neil said gently, “Carol, Uncle Tom and Aunt Greta also feel terrible about this.”
“You didn’t find any clues, or you didn’t try your best?” Caroline voiced her doubt.
Neil tried to convince Caroline. “The police’s capabilities were limited back then, and the technology
wasn’t as advanced as it is now.”
“No!” Caroline asserted firmly. “There must be some clues!”
She then turned to Thomas. “Where did my father work after he left the Xanders?”
Thomas replied, “He worked at a construction company that went out of business nearly 20 years ago.”
“Then we can start there!”
Thomas and Neil exchanged glances before Neil sighed. “We’ve already investigated, Carol. We won’t

“I’m sure we’ll find leads if we locate the former boss of that company, Caroline suggested.
“He passed away from liver cancer eight years ago,” Neil informed her. “We looked into it.” After a brief
pause, Caroline added, “There must be some other clues we haven’t considered.”
