Yara Reagan glanced at Violet Ford, then exchanged a look with Iris Lockwood.
Finally, feeling sowhat weary, she lowered her eyes, "I’m here."
Violet Ford and Franklin Ford were not very surprised, but there was an indescribable sense of wistfulness.
"Is she still running around for what happened back then?" Violet’s eyes tightened slightly, looking at Yara with hope.
Since Evelyn Clayton disappeared from Riversend, many things seed to be forcibly paused.
Gene Young was left with old injuries and never returned to the police station. Two years ago, he took Old Officer Young back to their hotown to recuperate; anwhile, Lars Alden’s wife, Lily Warren, fell seriously ill and passed away a month after Evelyn disappeared.
As for Lars Alden, Yara and Violet Ford kept the news of Lily’s death from him for more than half a year, but in the end, they couldn’t keep it a secret.
Lars Alden, in despair, committed suicide in prison using a sharpened toothbrush handle. By the ti the news ca out, Lars Alden’s seven-day mourning period had already passed.
As for Morgan Alden...
Yara and Violet later found a way to visit Pinehill Prison, but Morgan had already been transferred, and his files were blank, untraceable by anyone.
According to what Yara knew, Jas Grant had also tried investigating several tis, but to no avail.
All leads were completely severed. Forget about finding evidence of Evelyn Clayton’s father’s murder; even The Ford Family was overwheld with their own issues.
Sumr Monroe’s cooperation with The Chandler Group made her position as president within The Ford Family increasingly secure. Now, the board of directors of The Ford Group has proposed to settle the position of chairman, with Sumr’s votes remaining high.
And Gregory Barnes by her side is more formidable than Soren Foster by countless asures. If Violet Ford and Franklin Ford weren’t both surnad Ford, they might have already exited the stage of The Ford Group.
"This matter, when Evelyn decides to co forward, she will naturally tell you." Yara’s voice was soft, "She said it’s still not the best ti."
Violet showed so signs of urgency, "Then when is the right ti?"
She had already waited far too long.
Over the years, neither she nor Franklin had taken any action, for one, because Sumr’s power was gradually increasing, making them both avoid her edge, and for another, due to Evelyn.
With such a good ally in trouble, Violet dared not act recklessly.
Yara looked at Violet, her eyes exuding a trace of coldness, "Sister Violet, it’s useless to ask . But if you ask , having waited so many years, can’t you wait a little longer?"
With that, she retracted her gaze, her tone cool and calm, "But you can rest assured, Evelyn has said she cannot give up uncovering the truth of this matter. It’s just that the timing is wrong now, so we need to wait."
Wait for the mont to kill the enemy with a single blow.
Violet saw Yara’s slightly cold expression and swallowed the words that reached the tip of her tongue.
She felt sowhat dissatisfied.
Yara now resembled Evelyn Clayton from back in the day like they were carved from the sa mold—decisive, resolute, and blunt in speech.
But Violet had no choice.
The Ford Family needed their support, which is why Violet insisted on cooperating with Yara all these years, even when Yara aggressively acquired shares last year, she did not resist.
Noticing the tension in the atmosphere, Iris Lockwood hurriedly raised her glass.
"Today counts as laying everything out, and I hope the two Directors Ford can keep this confidential for us!" Iris bead brilliantly, "Please have patience while we return! Co, cheers!"
