Chapter 786: Chapter 786: The Whistleblower
Sebastian Thompson heard the news released by Daniel Marshall, but he did not inform his sister, fearing it would unsettle her and cause harm. He could secretly approach Joseph Charles on his own.
If he found the person, he could deal with it himself, without soiling his sister’s hands. He was determined to protect his sister and Matthew Marshall, as they were the hope for the resurgence of the Thompson family.
Being cautious about Daniel releasing this news at this time, Sebastian Thompson was afraid it was a trap. He was also worried that Daniel would persistently attack his sister with malicious slander.
Back then, Joseph Charles had received a substantial sum of money and had sworn that he would never reappear in their lives.
Such amount of money should be enough to sustain Joseph Charles for his lifetime. If the damn guy was not greedy, he should have had the wit to change his appearance and lie low, hiding far away without anyone knowing his whereabouts.
If this damn guy doesn’t understand how to behave and stirs up trouble, he would definitely be headed towards a dead end.
Hopefully, Joseph Charles will not cause any more trouble and would just live out his remaining life peacefully.
…
With such a large reward, no one could resist the money; indeed, someone soon contacted Adam Howard.
Reportedly, the whistleblower was the lead surgeon who performed the plastic surgery for Joseph Charles back then.
The whistleblower provided photos of Joseph Charles before and after the plastic surgery.
Adam Howard and Daniel Marshall confirmed that it was Joseph Charles’ previous appearance. This clue confirmed that Joseph Charles had changed his face.
Adam tried to trace Joseph Charles through photos of his post-surgery appearance but found nothing.
After leaving Serene City, Joseph Charles had gone abroad. After the surgery, he must have assumed a new identity. Perhaps, he may continue to change his face and take on a new identity.
Whether it was domestic or foreign plastic surgery institutions, Adam Howard had already sent people to investigate.
Because it involved privacy, the investigation was not smooth and was fraught with difficulties.
Given Joseph Charles’ guilty conscience, if he wanted to get plastic surgery again, he could go to either a regular hospital or possibly a black clinic.
At the same time, Joseph Charles must shake off the surveillance of the Thompson siblings. He would surely be more cautious and definitely not leave any traces.
Besides, after so many years, some people might be gone and unable to provide effective clues.
Currently, the only thing that can be confirmed is that Joseph Charles no longer looks like his former self.
…
On his way to the golf course, Daniel Marshall unexpectedly saw Grace Ziegler.
Grace was crying; apparently, some man was pestering her and even getting physical, obviously bullying her.
Daniel hesitated for a moment, then instructed Simon Howard to stop the car.
Having experienced before, Simon warned, “Daniel, best not to interfere, lest your sister-in-law misunderstands.”
Daniel stared sharply at the man, “I know him, he’s Grace’s ex-boyfriend. It’s clear that this man is bullying her, making her cry, and she’s crying inconsolably. I can’t just stand by when I see this.
Regardless, she is my sister, and I can’t let my mother worry about her. Simon, you get out of the car and deal with it while I drive to the golf course and we’ll meet up later.”
After hesitating for a moment, Simon said, “Alright! Daniel, in the future, you should try to refrain from getting involved in such matters as much as possible. Otherwise, you should be honest with your sister-in-law about your relationship with Grace. Given the women’s possessiveness, they will not let it go easily.
Besides, it’s too much of a coincidence that she’s entangled with another man on the way to the golf course. Who knows if she has calculated you, you should be cautious. Being good to her doesn’t mean she will necessarily be grateful.”
