Sumr Monroe lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes hiding all the emotions in her beautiful eyes, making it impossible for Damian Knight to guess what she was thinking.
Just when Damian Knight thought Sumr wouldn’t speak, she suddenly raised her eyes and said, "Revenge."
"What?" Damian Knight was stunned, thinking he had misheard.
Sumr looked at the scenery moving backward outside the car window and said softly, "I ca back to avenge my mother."
"Revenge?" Damian Knight raised his eyebrows in astonishnt, then suddenly realized, "Oh, you an Mrs. Stanton... No, I should say, the eldest lady of the Monroe Family. I heard your mother died by suicide due to depression. You think it wasn’t suicide?"
"It definitely wasn’t!" Sumr Monroe said firmly, "I don’t rember much from my childhood, but I have so fragnted mories. And many things point to my mother’s death as not being as simple as suicide. For example, once my mother died, the Monroe Family beca the Stanton Family. Also, I couldn’t find any trace of my mother ever living in our ho... I am certain, my mother did not commit suicide, but was murdered."
Damian Knight’s gaze deepened as he asked, "Who do you suspect? Your father?"
Sumr nodded and then shook her head, "I’m not sure if it was him, or my aunt who did it. Or maybe both of them were involved! I’m still investigating, but once I find out, I will make the murderer pay!"
Damian Knight nodded, "No wonder you said you have no ti. So if it turns out it was your father, what will you do?"
Sumr said coldly, "I’ll do what needs to be done."
She would never show rcy!
"I understand." Damian Knight looked at Sumr and said, "As I said before, if you need help with anything, co to . I lost the business card, but you have my phone number, just call ."
Sumr lowered her gaze, "...Thank you."
For so reason, when Damian Knight said that, she suddenly felt a sense of relief.
It was like... finding an ally here.
"Oh, by the way," Damian Knight said, "Do you want to cancel the cooperation between the Stanton Group and our company?"
Sumr was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Didn’t you say you were going to cancel it?"
"It depends on you." His gaze was deep, yet there seed to be a gentle ripple in his eyes.
Sumr felt a warmth in her heart and said, "Cancel it. Clarissa Stanton is too much trouble, I hope she can keep quiet for a while."
"Understood." Damian Knight nodded, "If you need to continue the cooperation, just call ."
Sumr took a deep look at Damian Knight, suddenly having so much she wanted to say to him.
But when she opened her mouth, all she managed to say was, "Thank you."
Damian Knight pretended to be impatient and scratched his ear, "If you thank again, my ears will grow calluses."
Sumr couldn’t help but smile.
She returned to the country just to uncover the truth and avenge her mother, to rebuild the Monroe Family.
Before that, she didn’t want too much social interaction, to avoid causing trouble for her friends.
But now, she suddenly felt like having Damian Knight as a friend might not be so bad.
Shortly, they arrived near Stanton Manor.
Sumr got out of the car at the foot of the hill to avoid arousing suspicion.
Damian Knight gave her a deep look, his thin lips moving slightly as he said, "I don’t know if you heard my previous suggestion, but if you get the chance, you should do a paternity test. If other hospitals aren’t convenient, you can co to ."
As he spoke, he gestured as if making a phone call.
Sumr nodded, closed the car door, and watched as Damian Knight drove away.
anwhile, Clarissa Stanton had arrived ho a few minutes before Sumr, and as soon as she got ho, she went to cry to Stella Monroe.
