“Mom, what do you mean?” asked Dominik in a voice that grew serious. “I means what I says. That both Karat and her daughter are housewives whom the child's father gives more intimate and affection than anyone in this mansion, not even me!” “Is Mom going to tell me something like that?” “I...don't trust them.” Isabel's voice hardened as her expression changed when referring to the maid. Someone that Dominic has never seen since he stepped into the Tyler mansion. “Dom...I have never told you about this and I have never spoken to anyone. That's because mom had to be patient. Had to hold back knowing that the housekeeper and her daughter were dishonest and probably wanted to take the place of this manor's mistress. Carat was in this room with Edmund that night. I suspect that these two mothers and daughters would have witnessed the murderer that he shot your father in this room!” "But the police said..." “The police are still unsure of what exactly happened! I didn't say this to anyone. Didn't say what relationship Karat had with Edmund. Do you understand? that if someone came to know about this Our family...Tyler Power Group must have been tainted and dishonored to have an affair between the president and a lowly housewife and daughter after that!” Dominic was silent, but his expression showed that he was thinking about something terrible that had happened. “Dom... since you already know about this. Are you going to let it end like this?” “What do you want me to do when the police are still investigating your father?” “I want you to keep both of them, Karat and that girl Rose! especially that girl, I've seen it in your father's pose. He tried to pretend to be a pure girl who was weak against the world. I know he's trying to trick Edmund into taking everything of the Tyler family to Karat.” His mother's words stunned the young man. Despite his unyielding character, he was known for his decisiveness with his subordinates and miners. But killing people, especially those who have never seen their faces before, even more so as a woman, is never a thought. But according to Isabel, it was like a hot fire that swarmed deep within his chest and scorched his feelings. Dominic's idea flashed through his mind. “I'll investigate this on my own first, Mom.” “What, Dom?” Isabel raised her eyebrows in a high-pitched voice. “What are you waiting for? I'm sure it must be Carat's handiwork. It would want everything from us. That night she was the only one with your father. While there's no evidence that it was the killer, it may have been plotting to borrow Edmund's hand to kill him. I know you can do it, Dominic, we have the money and the power to take care of everything. Just hire a gunman to take two of them before they plan to do anything more.” “It is not difficult for us to punish those who have done wrong. But it will be a last resort. after I first ascertained the truth.” “How are you going to ascertain the truth, Dominique? Are you going to extort the truth from the two of them? And if it's not accepted I'm sure they won't accept what they did. Murderers have never been so easy to spit out their guilt.” “I have my own way, Mom. I'm coming home this time and I'm definitely not going back to West Virginia empty-handed.” The voice was firm. But what Dominik was thinking about was disturbing Isabel. She knew his character well. Sole heir to the Tyler Power Group, Dominique Tyler was a decisive, honest man with an utter hatred of dishonesty. But his son's overconfidence and self-confidence were making Isabel deeply uneasy. Chapter 2 “Mom... are you really going to let me go?” A voice that rang out with a pleading yet sweet voice made the middle-aged woman dressed in a black ramie skirt, who was packing her clothes into the suitcase, look at the small figure of a woman in her twentieth year with a twinkle and soft eyes “Yes...you have to go and I have a reason to explain to you.” Karat said to Rasika Only a daughter, in her 20s, walked in and sat down on her bed in the bedroom of a small house next to the Tyler mansion's flower garden. “But... I have to go to North America, Mom.” Rasika said lonely. Thai woman in a black lace dress. Her long dark brown hair matched her perfectly clean face, and her white skin shone brightly like a flower in the morning sun. But those big, dreamy eyes were filled with an inexplicable gloom. “Just Madison in the Appalachian Mountains...Rose...Listen to me.” Karat strikes her hand. The middle-aged woman, whose oval face had wrinkles but still looked like her age, closed the zipper of a suitcase filled with her daughter's clothes before turning to speak. “It wasn't a heartbreaking thing for me to send you to North America with Edmund's son, Dominique. You have to go to New Hampshire, White Mountain to take care of and help with the housework of your only son... Mr. Edmund is grateful to us both mother and son. how much You must recite it in your mind, Rose." “But you must be here alone,” Rasika protested in a sad voice. More importantly, I've never seen your face and I've never known Dominique. your son at once What kind of person he will be, I still don't know." “He must be a good man like you…I'm sure of that.” “Mom...what about the case where the police called my mother to investigate the witnesses? How are you?" The girl asked her mother whose expression changed in that second. "Er... nothing here." Karat lowered her head to inspect her bag. Rasika lowered her head and looked at her mother with suspicion. “Mom...I'm sure it's really nothing.” "Rose..." Karat looked up at her daughter. She tried to normalize her expression and eyes. “The police just asked my mother if she remembered the identity of the culprit. That night, my mother entered the young lady's room and it coincided with a burglar breaking in…”
