Shocked for a long ti.
Teresa Thorne gradually cald down.
She asked, "The person who has always been helping Nevaeh, is that you?"
"Yes!"
Dirk Carter nodded and said.
"How much did she give you? I'll offer you ten tis, no, twenty tis, whatever you ask, I can give you."
Teresa Thorne said.
Dirk Carter smiled faintly and said, "Mrs. Thorne, to be honest, I have no interest in your aristocratic family feud. If I need money, I could take this test report to the Hughes Family, but I didn't."
"Then what do you want?"
In Dirk Carter's words, Teresa Thorne seed to see hope and imdiately asked.
Dirk Carter said, "I'm more interested in the story between Mrs. Thorne and Bennett Kane. I wonder if Mrs. Thorne could tell about it?"
Even the most unbearable truth is now in Dirk Carter's hands. What can't be told?
Teresa Thorne nodded slightly.
She said, "There's nothing that can't be said. Looking back now, it's been more than twenty years..."
That year, Teresa Thorne was 21 years old, working as a dancer in a drama troupe, but without formal appointnt.
Working in such a place is actually not much different from the bureaucratic world.
Every year, the drama troupe has several permanent positions, but none falls to Teresa Thorne.
Although Teresa Thorne was very beautiful, the drama troupe wasn't lacking in beautiful won, so making a na for herself was practically impossible.
"I t Bennett Kane at a dinner party. At that ti, he had just taken over Apex Steel and contacted a client through the Rexton City's liaison office in Beijing, with a leader from our drama troupe as the interdiary. That day, I was also brought along to accompany drinks."
Teresa Thorne sighed and said.
It was also at that dinner party that Bennett Kane spotted the young and pretty Teresa Thorne.
Similarly, Teresa Thorne was attracted by his graceful deanor.
Originally, this encounter was not expected to cause any stir, but nobody expected that after the business deal was concluded, Bennett Kane didn't rush to return; instead, he used tactics to contact Teresa Thorne, inviting her to als, giving her gifts, and since Teresa Thorne already had a good impression of him, the two soon broke the boundaries.
"He was my first man. That era was relatively conservative; once a woman recognized a man, it was for a lifeti — that's how it was for . From that ti, I recognized him."
As she said this, Teresa Thorne still looked affectionately.
"What happened later? Why did you marry Aurelius Hughes?"
Dirk Carter asked.
Teresa Thorne exhaled deeply and said, "That was also arranged by Bennett Kane, intended to help him weather the difficulties."
At that ti, Aurelius Hughes happened to be working in the Departnt of tallurgical Industry, with his role precisely related to steel.
Apex Steel wanted to thrive.
They had to get Aurelius Hughes to agree to allocate the indices.
Bennett Kane's original intention was to arrange for Teresa Thorne to seduce Aurelius Hughes.
Unexpectedly, Aurelius Hughes turned out to be a real gentleman, not entertaining such a sche, naturally rendering the ploy unsuccessful.
As fate would have it.
At this juncture, Aurelius Hughes' wife, Cassandra Ford, suddenly encountered a fatal robbery, leaving him heartbroken, drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
Bennett Kane set another trap, invited Aurelius Hughes when he was drunk, causing him to have an affair with Teresa Thorne.
At that ti, Teresa Thorne was already pregnant.
She didn't want to do such a thing, but Bennett Kane said it was a golden opportunity. Once she had relations with Aurelius Hughes and then conceived his child, Aurelius Hughes would have no choice but to marry her.
Thus, their child could beco a mber of the Hughes Family, enjoying endless wealth and fortune.
In today's terms.
She was a lovestruck fool back then.
Whatever Bennett Kane said, she did.
Sure enough, not long after that affair, Teresa Thorne went to Aurelius Hughes, telling him she was pregnant.
Aurelius Hughes did not want to marry her.
He only wanted to give her so money to have the child aborted.
Bennett Kane advised her in a way, threatening Aurelius Hughes with the accusation of rape.
At that ti, Aurelius Hughes was amidst a promotion evaluation. Thus, Teresa Thorne stepped into the aristocratic family with one foot.
"I know, with my background in such a family, I won't be valued, so over the years, I've worked hard in the Hughes Family, being diligent and hardworking, and that's how I've gained the old master's attention and earned my place."
Teresa Thorne said.
Dirk Carter asked, "Did you drug Nevaeh's illness?"
Teresa Thorne nodded slightly and said, "The dicine was given to by Bennett Kane. He said as long as both Solara and Nevaeh were around, our child Jenna would never be able to inherit the Hughes Family's business. After Solara's accident, our biggest obstacle was gone. Over the years, I've been diligently caring for Nevaeh, so nobody suspected that the dicine was actually administered by ."
Upon hearing this.
Dirk Carter caught onto sothing.
Whether it was the death of Cassandra Ford or the death of Ashton Hughes, Teresa Thorne likely was unaware or unrelated, even if their deaths were accidents, they probably had nothing to do with the woman before him.
Dirk Carter exhaled deeply.
He tapped the two photos on the table with his fingers and said, "Next, let tell you the story of these two girls."
Dirk Carter detailed the process of how these two girls were bullied.
Teresa Thorne gritted her teeth and said, "Bennett Kane, that bastard, I always thought he loved alone, but I didn't expect him to be such a beast. What do you want to do?"
"As long as Bennett Kane is brought to justice, I promise I won't tell anyone about this test report."
Dirk Carter raised the paper and said.
Suddenly, light appeared in Teresa Thorne's eyes, and she asked, "What do you want to do?"
Dirk Carter smiled faintly and replied, "It's simple, just help find the murderer of Mia Fang, and I'll handle the rest."
Teresa Thorne pondered for a mont.
She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you, but also hope Secretary General Carter will honor his promise."
"Don't worry, I, Dirk Carter, always deliver on my word."
Teresa Thorne stood up.
She reached out to Dirk Carter, and after they shook hands.
Dirk Carter said, "Mrs. Thorne, I'll wait for your good news."
After throwing down this sentence, he turned and left.
Disappeared at the entrance of the swimming pool.
Teresa Thorne picked up the cigarette pack from the table, drew out a cigarette and lit it. At this mont, her gaze had started to turn vicious, vaguely exuding a hint of murderous aura.
Downstairs.
Dirk Carter looked up at the top floor.
Got into the car driven by Arlo Yarbrough.
"Did that woman agree to help you?"
Arlo Yarbrough asked.
Dirk Carter smiled and said, "She has no choice."
After detailing what happened upstairs.
Arlo Yarbrough sighed and said, "Dirk, I can't figure it out, Teresa Thorne clearly isn't a decent person, are you really going to let her off this easily?"
Dirk Carter looked at Arlo Yarbrough and asked, "Do you really think I ca to her today to seek her help?"
"Isn't it? Didn't you say you're forcing her to act against Bennett Kane?"
Arlo Yarbrough asked, sowhat stunned.
Dirk Carter smiled faintly and said, "Uncle Jin disappeared. Where do you think he went? A woman with a background in acting, who gains such trust from the Hughes Family, can she be an ordinary woman? Also, she's already part of the Hughes Family, would she still be manipulated by Bennett Kane?"
"What are you actually trying to say?"
Arlo Yarbrough frowned and asked.
Dirk Carter looked ahead, murmuring, "She's always been lying, and I'm just cooperating with her performance, the real drama is just beginning..."
