The helicopter arrived in no time. This time, Teddy was the one flying it.

Teddy had a brief exchange with Connor. Glancing at the battered Barrett, Teddy reported, "I've done the digging. Barrett, an orphan, got noticed for his good looks and amazing voice by opera maestro Vincent Marshall. Vincent took him in, treating him like a son. At seventeen, Barrett wowed everyone at a state dinner with his performance. But a month later, Vincent suddenly cut ties with him. Since then, Barrett's been in the entertainment industry, making a name for himself and earning the title of 'Period Drama's Leading Man.""

Teddy looked a bit sheepish. From the start of the variety show, Connor had asked him to find out if Barrett had any ties to Claire. Teddy's investigation turned up nothing.

Claire, being a high-profile figure in a trillion-dollar conglomerate, had little reason to interact with an actor. Plus, due to Suzanne's influence, Claire despised entertainers and avoided them.

So, Teddy figured Barrett's appearance on the show was unrelated to Claire. This misled Connor. But just yesterday, while reviewing Barrett's performance at the state dinner, Teddy stumbled on a shocking secret. Claire had been at the dinner.
