CEO's Dumb Bride

Chapter 134 The Investigation Began

Chapter 134 The Investigation Began

Thomas had taken her to the hospital for examinations before, but the doctors couldn't find anything wrong. They said her vocal cords were fine.

She had been to several hospitals afterward, but the results were the same. There was nothing wrong with her, but she just couldn't speak.

When asked if she had experienced any frightening incidents during her childhood, she couldn't remember.

Some doctors speculated that it might be congenital.

Mr. Vaughn looked at the words on her phone and nodded knowingly. "If it's congenital, the issues should be detectable. As I see it, it is made."

Lilian blinked, unsure whether her condition was congenital or made. If it was made, could it be treated?

Then it would not be passed on to the next generation.

When she thought about the next generation, her eyes dimmed.

They chatted for a while before the news came in. Mr. Vaughn glanced at his phone and smiled. "We've found it. Let's go."

Lilian immediately nodded, sorted out her thoughts, and followed him out of the café.

Mr. Vaughn drove to Paul's residence.

It was an upscale community where housing prices were not cheap, starting at least at 8,000 dollars per square meter.

For someone as lazy and gluttonous as Paul, he should have gotten a lot of money from Fabiana.

After all, Fabiana had a decent salary when she worked for the Landau family.

Mr. Vaughn didn't go directly to Paul's house. Instead, he went to collect evidence from their next- door neighbor's house.

There was no one next door, but someone was home across the street.

It was a woman with a child. When she saw the two of them at the door, she became somewhat wary.

Mr. Vaughn handed her his business card and said, "Hello, madam. I am a lawyer and would like to ask you some questions."

The woman took the business card and grew even more cautious. "I don't think we've done anything illegal."

"No, we're just here to ask you about what's going on at that house across the street."

The woman's expression eased a bit, and she let them in.

Lilian was a little nervous since she had never dealt with legal matters or been involved in a lawsuit. Some things sounded simple, but they were difficult in practice.

Mr. Vaughn asked the woman some questions, and after obtaining her consent, he took out a recorder. The woman then revealed everything she knew.

"Well, their family used to be harmonious. A filial son and a loving mother. But it seems that a few years ago, Paul said the old lady went back to her hometown. I've never seen her again."

A few years ago. That should be after Thomas passed away. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

The Landau family cut off Fabiana's supply. Paul couldn't get more money from her, so he sent her away.

"Is there anything else?"

The woman pondered. "I'm not really sure. That's all I know. But a few days ago, they brought the old lady back, didn't they? There have been arguing voices in their house these past few days.

"I couldn't hear clearly, so I'm not sure if they were arguing with the old lady."

Mr. Vaughn listened quietly. Following a nod, he got up and put away the recorder. "Thank you for your time."

Lilian and he walked out and visited other houses.

Almost everyone who was home was asked, and except for those who didn't want to be recorded, the testimonies were almost the same.

Paul treated his mother poorly. Someone had seen it outside when Paul pointed at the old lady and scolded bitterly.

He called her a hag, an old fool... It was terrible.

Lilian couldn't believe that there were such heartless and selfish children in this world. It only strengthened her resolve to help Fabiana resolve this matter.

While her mind was wandering, the door to Paul's house opened.

He came out and saw Lilian and Wilfred. Delighted, he came up toward Wilfred, mistaking him for Francis.

"Mr. Landau? I didn't expect you to come in person."
