Chapter 190: Brother

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

The next day, I received the investigation results from Rachel Thompson. As expected, it was exactly as I had thought.

The investigation results from Rachel revealed that Sophia Rivers‘ alibi was at Moonrise Cosmetic Enhancement Clinic, with Hazel Green as her witness.

I stared at the message on my phone, my jaw clenching with frustration. Of course Hazel would provide Sophia with a perfect alibi.

The pieces were falling into place, but not in a way that would help David get justice. Hazel’s involvement made everything more complicated.

I pondered whether Hazel Green’s opposition to my returning to the Whitmore Family stemmed solely from personal grievances against the Whitmore Family. I regretted my lack of clarity on the underlying reasons.

What had the Whitmore family done to earn such hatred? The mystery gnawed at me like a persistent ache.

While lost in thought, I was interrupted by a voice. “Elena?!”

Startled, I looked up to see Adrian Whitmore and Jacob Hayes approaching me in the lobby of Shadowmere Medical Center.

I almost forgot that my foster mother, Dorothea Whitmore, was also at Shadowmere Medical Center, albeit on a different floor. Feeling awkward about running into Adrian, I realized that being under the same roof meant an eventual meeting.

I hadn’t anticipated staying in the Northern Territory for several days. The prolonged stay was making everything more complicated.

“Brother…” I began hesitantly.

Adrian questioned my return from Riverside City. His eyes searched my face with concern and confusion.

Jacob Hayes also expressed curiosity about my presence in the Northern Territory despite supposedly being in Riverside City. His professional demeanor couldn’t hide his surprise.

Forcing a smile, I apologized to Adrian for not intentionally keeping it from him. I acknowledged my emotional turmoil and the complexity of my situation.
