Chapter 2586
“Alright,” Jarrod replied.
“You did a good job.
”
Conor, feeling happy, shared Alec’s situation.
“About Alec, you asked me to dig deeper, and I discovered something odd.
”
Jarrod asked, “What did you find?”
Conor explained, “On the day Alec supposedly tried to end his life, he had sent everyone away.
”
This action had initially seemed to confirm Alec’s intent to commit suicide, as it appeared premeditated.
However, Jarrod doubted it.
The day before the incident, Alec had conversed normally with him, showing no signs of distress.
Moreover, Alec held a deep hatred for Roscoe.
Knowing Alec’s vengeful nature, Jarrod reasoned that Alec wouldn’t just end his own life.
However, Jarrod had kept his doubts to himself at that time.
Instead, he used the situation as an outlet for his frustration, directing his anger at Nicole and holding her responsible for everything.
In fact, he had been quietly looking into the specifics of Alec’s incident.
Currently, Alec had been sent overseas for medical care.
Although he remained unconscious, his life was no longer at risk.
Jarrod had insisted on treatment outside the country, worried that someone might try to harm Alec if he stayed.
This unknown person appeared to be pulling the strings behind the scenes, probably producing the entire series of events.
But what exactly was the mastermind’s objective? That remained unknown.
Jarrod suppressed his emotions, anticipating the next move of the mysterious individual.
Conor remarked, “Recently, I discovered that a janitor found a pen on the floor.
She took it home for her grandson because it looked nice, When I questioned her of anything amiss, she recalled the incident.
”
Displaying the pen from the janitor, Conor stated, “Here it is.

Jarrod examined the pen, noting its weight and value.
It closely resembled his usual pens.
Alec seldom indulged in writing.
When he did, he preferred whatever was convenient.
It was uncommon for him to carry such an upscale pen.
This pen contradicted Alec’s rough demeanor.
Conor shared Jarrod’s perspectives and continued, “Alec never wielded such a pen.
Upon investigation, it’s identified as one favored by the Uchaesau royal family, commanding a hefty sum.
Most individuals disregard the brand of a pen, yet this implies the owner engages in writing-related endeavors, utilizing such a pen frequently.
Even if his refinement is feigned, it’s a facade he diligently maintains.
”
Conor’s astute analysis hit the mark, providing a clearer depiction of the elusive mastermind behind the scenes.
“If this is a noble’s pen, then its users in Ardlens should be scarce.
Investigate the Uchaesau orders thoroughly, exploring any potential ties to Ardlens,” Jarrod directed.
This individual had always eluded detection.
The sole lead they possessed, the pen, offered little promise.
While they operated in plain sight, the mysterious individual lurked in the shadows, placing them at a disadvantage.
Jarrod silently vowed to apprehend this mysterious individual before Nicole’s childbirth, neutralizing the threat.
“And locate Jamie,” Jarrod commanded.
Jamie likely held connections to this mysterious figure.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have intruded into his life, possibly acting under their directives.
Now, Jarrod entertained suspicions that everyone around him might be entangled with this mysterious individual.
He pondered the type of individual capable of intertwining such a myriad of characters.
The ingenuity behind this individual’s methods intrigued him.
And what vendetta drove this individual to such extreme lengths? Every aspect remained veiled in obscurity.
Nicole entered Rhett’s ward.
He still had an IV attached, appearing quite frail.
