The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 173

"One of the letters read that she gave my half-brother money. I wonder why she would go out of her way and give him money, then scare him to not show up in Lucland by telling him I am looking for him when I did not even know of his existence," Sylvester said, and he had a valid point.

"Your mother did ask her to help overturn your father's plans. Maybe that was part of it." Marcel said, and Sylvester shook his head.

"I had ascended as Lord by then. It can't be because of that. I suspect it has to do with something else," He said, and I was equally confused about that part.

"What about her child? Did it die at birth? I wouldn't put it past our fathers to do that just to hide their secrets. Mind you; people would know that she was unfaithful to her husband, which would have been detrimental to the Lord's reputation. The fact that our fathers shared her meant the baby could have belonged to any of them. What if they killed that baby? It will be understandable why she lived a solitary life and was always sad all the time. She dared not speak of it because it would reflect on her character. If the world knew of her affair, she would lose the right to represent the Babanins on the council, which would make her irrelevant, and I doubt your father loved her enough to make her luna. He couldn't even if he wanted to. The Belyaev bloodline is premium compared to her Lawrence arse. She would always play second fiddle, and I think she knew it," Marcel said, and we were silent because what he said was true. He had hit the nail on the head.

"We need to study her journals together starting tomorrow," Sylvester said with strong determination, and I squeezed his thigh.

I planned on telling him my thoughts when we retired to the bedroom.

I hoped it wasn't what I thought, but that was the only plausible explanation for what happened.

"I think we will still need to comb through that building," Theodore said, and I knew he was right because we were not expecting to find all we found there. There was a possibility that there were things there.

"For someone that keeps records for the council, it is amazing that she doesn't have a computer yet. All the letters were photocopied," Linda said, bringing something vital to our attention.

"I thought that too. It was quite odd. I know she is old school and all, but it was quite odd that there was nothing on her desk. Do you think someone might have stolen the computer if she had one?" Avery asked, and we all looked at ourselves because she had given a valid point.

There was a lot of shadiness and bad blood around her. She might have something on it that they want to protect from getting out. We needed to find out.

"If she had a computer, I doubt it was in that office. Didn't you see the number of locks on the door and windows?" Theodore said, and Sylvester shook his head.

"The culprit might have stolen it before the murder. The office and passage were locked after the murder," Sylvester said, making a very valid point, and it was plausible.

"There is a lot to uncover. I suggest we stay another day here and go through the documents we have taken. Afterwards, we should copy them onto a system by having a Kappa scan them into a computer." I said, and everyone agreed.

We finished up and decided to retire to our bedroom.

As soon as Sylvester and I entered the room, I decided to tell him what I was thinking about Jenny's murder. I just prayed he would not take offence.
