Chapter 30
If the person in front of her had been the fleeing Katherine, Olivia wouldn’t have been this composed.
That was why she could confidently reassure Kimberly and ease her anxious heart.
To change the mood, Olivia playfully suggested, “How about tomorrow, I personally intimidate Jaxon
and make him swear an oath?”
She rested her chin on her hand, her clear eyes playfully swirling as she continued, “Vincent is quite
capable. Why not let him handle it, stuff Jaxon into a sack, give him a good beating, and then issue a
stern warning? It’s best to drive him out of Dellmoor to eliminate any future troubles.”
Kimberly was taken aback, hardly believing these words were coming from Olivia. This girl had
somehow developed a sense of humor and even a touch of cu nning.
Jaxon had always been a sore point for her, and she never expected Olivia to confront her painful past
and even make jokes about it.
This, once again, proved that Olivia had moved on from that painful chapter. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
As Olivia’s best friend, Kimberly couldn’t be happier.
With Olivia’s support and cheerful spirit, Kimberly didn’t want to waste the opportunity to enjoy the
positive atmosphere.
She dashed over to Olivia and playfully tickled her, knowing just where to make her laugh.
Kimberly targeted her best friend’s weak spot and showed no mercy. It was all in good fun, and the
nursery soon filled with laughter and playful sounds. Olivia started to plead, “Please spare me, boss. I
won’t do it again.”
John and Esther, long-time employees of the Larson residence, watched the two friends having fun and
felt relieved to see Kimberly so happy.
After becoming pregnant, Kimberly felt a noticeable decrease in her energy levels.
Following a busy day yesterday, she had planned to take it easy and enjoy a slow-paced day today.
Kimberly admired Olivia’s exceptional time management skills, as Olivia had always been a highly
disciplined individual.
When Kimberly woke up naturally, Olivia had already left the Larson residence.
Olivia had messaged Kimberly, saying that she had been asked out by Jaxon to discuss a
case.
Kimberly chuckled, knowing that Jaxon was trying to act professionally, likely with ulterior motives.
However, since Olivia had moved on from her past feelings about her intentions and not give Jaxon
false hopes.
it was important to be clear
It was already April, and though the sun wasn’t scorching, staying in the courtyard for too long made
Kimberly break a light sweat.
She spent a while outdoors before returning to her room.
Noticing that John and Esther were just finishing their work, she called them over to have a chat.
Both John and Esther were honest and well-mannered, having been loyal and dedicated to the Larson
family for a long time, a rarity in itself.
Kimberly wanted to express her gratitude and learn more about her parents.
Seeing Kimberly being so warm and welcoming, both of them felt honored but also a bit awkward, not
knowing where to place their hands or feet.
Kimberly noticed their discomfort and decided to ease the situation. “Esther, John, you’ve both been
with the Larson family for a long time, taking care of my parents before. You’re like family to me.”
The two sitting opposite her were moved by the mention of Cameron and Diana, especially Esther,
whose eyes welled up with tears.
“Mr. and Mrs. Larson were good people. They were kind to everyone, but life was not kind to them,”
Esther mumbled, wiping her tears. “If it weren’t for that car accident, your family would be happily
reunited now. It was their lifelong wish.”
Kimberly took out a few tissues and handed them over.
Esther’s mention of the car accident reminded Kimberly that David had mentioned that Cameron’s
driver, Fabian Gibson, was the prime suspect in the case.
Following up on Esther’s information, Kimberly inquired, “Was my father’s driver named Fabian?”
Both Esther and John confirmed, “Yes, he is.”
“The day before the accident, he had requested leave from Mr. Larson to attend to some family
matters, which is why he wasn’t driving for them. He narrowly escaped the
56%%%
accident,” John explained. “Normally, Mr. Larson hardly ever drove himself; it was usually Fabian
behind the wheel. He was considered a seasoned member of the Larson family.”
Kimberly’s suspicion was confirmed. Her brother’s suspicions seemed to align closely with the truth.
Kimberly had the urge to bring Fabian in for questioning right that instant.
However, she composed herself and asked earnestly, “What kind of person was Fabian? Did he have
any vices like gambling?”
Esther was taken aback by Kimberly’s sudden interest in Fabian, whom she had never met.
Nevertheless, Esther’s intuition told her that there was a problem with Fabian.
For Esther, Cameron had always been a level-headed individual, and reckless speeding didn’t align
with his character. They had been eagerly anticipating their daughter’s return for half their lives, so
there was no rush in this matter.
Therefore, she couldn’t believe that the deaths of Cameron and Diana were merely the result of a car
accident caused by speeding.
With this in mind, Esther was even more eager to share her thoughts. “Ms. Larson, have you
discovered any clues?”
Continuing, she added, “Fabian isn’t young and has never been married. He has an elderly mother in
his hometown who depends on him for support. He doesn’t have any vices; he doesn’t smoke, drink, or
engage in promiscuous affairs. However, he is quite interested in stocks. Back then, he received
severe scoldings from Mr. Larson on a couple of occasions for this.”
Kimberly seemed to have found the information she sought and interjected, “Why did Dad scold him?”
John, showing excitement, slapped his thigh and stood up. “That’s right, I remember now. There were
two instances when Fabian requested an advance in his salary, which raised Mr. Larson’s suspicions. It
was later discovered that he was investing in stocks and had opened a margin trading account, which
eventually led to a tragic liquidation.”
Kimberly didn’t expect John to be well-versed in professional stock investment terminology.
Nevertheless, it indicated that the people in the estate were well aware of
the
e situation at that time.
Esther chimed in, “Indeed, Mr. Larson was kind. He gave Fabian multiple chances and even assisted
him in paying off some usurious loans.”
Kimberly, being a skilled lawyer, was already connecting the fragmented information.
into a coherent chain of clues in her mind.
If Fabian was a compulsive gambler, he might have lacked self-discipline. At this point, if someone
were to entice him in any way, his greedy nature could be easily exploited.
The crucial task now was to investigate the individuals connected to Fabian’s bank accounts. However,
this was no simple feat, as cu nning individuals rarely used their real identities when engaging in illicit
activities.
The primary goal was to locate Fabian in person.
Kimberly probed further, “Then why did Fabian suddenly resign after working as a driver of the Larson
family for so long?”
This question left both Esther and John perplexed, and they shook their heads.
John said faintly. “At that time, everyone was curious, Working at the Larson residence was considered
a good job, offering a decent income without too demanding work. Jobs were hard to come by, and he
wasn’t young anymore. No one understood why he made such an unexpected decision.”
