Elara Don listened to the two little ones and felt like laughing.
They truly took her words to heart.
She had asked them to keep an eye on Damon Hawke, and indeed, they were helping her keep an eye on him.
"Are you two talking bad about Dad?"
Damon Hawke’s magnetic voice rang out, followed by the appearance of his tall figure on the screen.
The two little ones turned to look at him, and both smiled.
Damon Hawke patted their heads and looked at the screen.
"Elly, have you eaten yet?"
Before Elara Don could answer, Helen quipped from the side, "Oh, that person from four years ago showed up."
Elara Don: "..."
Could you give soone a little dignity?
"Tom, this is Helen, my good friend. Helen, I’m going to head to my room now."
Elara Don introduced the two of them briefly before taking her phone and heading into the room.
Damon raised his eyebrows, patted his sons’ little heads, and let them go play.
He wanted to share so secrets with his wife.
"Are you getting used to it over there?"
Damon settled on the sofa and asked.
"It’s okay."
"I’m not used to it. Missing you feels like three years have passed in a day."
Damon deliberately softened his voice, his eyes filled with love.
Elara Don rolled her eyes at him playfully, still feeling soft inside.
Thinking of sothing, she straightened her expression.
"Tom, I t two people today and learned so things. I think it’s necessary to let you know."
"What is it?"
Seeing her serious deanor, Damon also adopted a serious tone.
"Well, it’s like this..."
Elara Don recounted everything Liam Ward had told her to Damon Hawke.
Damon listened attentively, surprise flashing in his eyes.
He hadn’t expected Evelyn Miles to have psychological issues, nor had he thought that her biological father might not be Hunter Miles.
Thinking about it now, it’s really odd.
It was always Gabriel Miles trying to create opportunities, trying to make him submit to marrying Evelyn.
He’s just an uncle; with the biological father still around, would a niece’s marriage need him to be so passionate?
"Tom, I’m just thinking, when I t Jack Clarke and was inexplicably caught, could it have been related to Evelyn’s uncle? Even though he’s retired, he still has connections. Do you think he deliberately set up?"
After explaining the situation, Elara Don asked her question.
Damon’s gaze shifted slightly, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.
His wife still had a keen intuition.
"Elly, I’ve always been investigating this matter and will find out the truth."
Elara Don paused, then asked, "Tom, do you think my mom’s death could also be related to Gabriel Miles?"
Once suspicion arises, she can’t stop thinking about it that way.
What is the real cause of her mother’s death?
"Elly, as I said, I’ve been looking into this. Don’t worry; I’ll definitely give Mother-in-law an explanation."
Damon said, looking at Elara Don, making another promise.
The steadfast glow in the man’s dark eyes made one instinctively believe him.
Elara Don nodded, "Tom, be careful with everything; the Miles family is not easy to deal with."
She didn’t want anything to happen to him.
"Wife, are you worried about ?"
Damon raised his eyebrows and softened his voice.
The atmosphere lightened up a bit, Elara Don laughed, "Alright, stop joking around. I need to shower and sleep now."
"Wife, I want a kiss."
Damon pointed to his thin lips.
Elara Don rolled her eyes but still extended a hand to blow him a kiss.
In light of him helping her investigate the truth, she decided to give him so perks!
"Wife, I want a hug."
"Damon Hawke, are you three years old? Do you need a lift-up too?"
"If you’re willing, I have no objections."
"..."
They exchanged a few playful remarks before hanging up the phone.
Damon still had a trace of a smile on his face.
At that mont, a few photos arrived on his phone.
They were sent by Rhun Quinn, showing Eleanor Shaw and Gabriel Miles alone together at Clear Spring Manor.
Damon’s dark eyes narrowed slightly as he called Rhun Quinn.
"Rhun Quinn, place a cara in Gabriel’s room, and also try to verify Gabriel and Evelyn’s DNA."
He needed to clarify the relationship between Gabriel and Evelyn.
"Sure."
Rhun Quinn accepted the task and ntioned, "Mr. Hawke, Jas Lee, whom you asked to watch, is acting a bit strange."
Jas Lee?
Wasn’t he the man who had the last call with Jack Clarke?
The general manager of Miles Corporation.
Damon asked, "What’s strange about him?"
"He’s been on business trips recently, frequently visiting an apartnt owned by Gabriel’s son Julian."
Rhun reported truthfully.
Surprise flashed in Damon’s eyes.
Gabriel’s son Julian isn’t very old, having just graduated a year ago.
Why does Jas Lee frequent Julian’s apartnt?
Could he be hiding a mistress there?
"Is there anything else?"
"I also checked Jas Lee’s past travels and discovered that whenever he’s on a business trip, he stays at this apartnt. Only Julian lives there, with no other people coming or going."
Rhun reported again.
Damon’s confusion deepened.
At first, he thought Jas Lee might be secretly keeping a mistress outside, but now it seems not.
So, why does he keep visiting a single man’s apartnt?
"Got it, keep observing discreetly."
"Understood."
Rhun responded, adding, "By the way, Mr. Hawke, while checking on Jas Lee, I discovered soone else is investigating him."
Soone else is investigating Jas Lee?
Damon’s dark gaze narrowed, "Who?"
"Hunter Miles."
So it’s him!
Why would he investigate Jas Lee?
Could he be trying to uncover the truth about Lina Quinn’s death?
What then is the relationship between Hunter Miles and Lina Quinn...?
"Understood, don’t worry about him; just focus on your tasks."
Sooner or later, he would have to et with Hunter Miles for a chat.
...
Saturday.
Leia Quinn and Craig Landers went to attend the old Mr. Hook’s birthday banquet.
The banquet was held at Sea City’s Apex, a five-star hotel.
The Hook Family hosted with grandeur, booking from the first to the third floors to celebrate the old man’s birthday.
When Leia Quinn and Craig Landers arrived, the hotel was already bustling with many guests.
"Kiki, you’re here."
Nick Hook, who was greeting guests, saw Leia Quinn and greeted her with a smile.
"Brother, you’re busy."
Leia Quinn smiled slightly, maintaining politeness and a hint of distance.
"It’s quite busy. You should’ve co earlier to help entertain the guests."
Nick Hook’s tone was intimate, as if regarding Leia Quinn as one of his own family.
Craig Landers squinted his eyes, a slight displeasure flashing in them.
"Young Master Hook, Kiki married , making her a daughter-in-law of the Landers family. A daughter-in-law of the Landers family holds a prestigious status and shouldn’t have to handle these trivial tasks. If you need extra hands for reception, let know early, and I’ll have a few servants co to help."
His words were blunt, freezing Nick Hook’s smile montarily.
Leia Quinn was warmly amused by this.’,
She tugged on Craig Landers’ sleeve, "Alright, don’t wear that expression, Grandpa Hook treats well. Let’s go see him."
She knew Craig Landers was sowhat bothered by Nick Hook.
This man was quite the alpha male.
