Chapter 72 Only the Dead Will Keep the Secret

“But Anna is the daughter of the Gabriel family. How could she be willing to be a surrogate mother?” Ada frowned and said with doubt, “If Anna was really the surrogate mother, how many children did she give birth to back then? Why does she still have a daughter?” 

Pearson adjusted his glasses, slowly opened a document, and said, “According to Leo, six years ago, they took the wrong person to Wayne‘s room. But it was not until Anna came from the room the next day that Leo knew it. After that, Leo had been keeping an eye on Anna. When he knew that Anna wanted to have an abortion, he sent people to stop her. Then he threatened her with Gabriel Group and forced her to sign an agreement about the child.” 

“At that time, he didn‘t know that Anna was pregnant with twins. And when the boy called Matthew was born, he was taken away by Leo. Later, Leo learned from the doctor that Anna gave birth to a girl after he left and the girl had been taken away by Anna. Leo felt guilty for Anna and didn‘t dare to tell Wayne about the truth so not long after that, he resigned and went back to his hometown.” 

“So... Wayne doesn‘t know the surrogate mother is Anna,” Ada said thoughtfully and unclenched her fists with her expression softening a little. 

“Yes. And Leo is the only person who knows about the truth. As for other Wayne‘s subordinates who had ever seen Anna in the hospital back then, they are no longer working in Wayne‘s company and no one knows where they are,” Pearson said. 

“I can‘t let Wayne know the truth,” Ada said. 

If Wayne knows that Anna is Matthew‘s biological mother, he won‘t marry me. I can‘t let him know about it 

“That‘s none of my business.” After sorting out the documents, Pearson stood up and said, “I’ve finished my work. Pay the balance as soon as possible.” 

“Super detective, why do you care about money so much? Don’t worry. I‘ll pay the balance,” Ada said as she cast a scornful glance at him. 

Pearson said frankly, “I care about money because money is worth being cared about. The only thing that won‘t betray me in the world is money.” 

It was the first time that Ada had heard a person express his love for money in this way. 

With a sneer, she gave a sniff of disapproval and said to Jason, “Jason, transfer the money to him.” 

While Jason was transferring the money, Ada looked at the pile of documents in her hand, tore them into pieces, and threw them into the trash can. Then she said, “These are all copies. Where are the originals? Where is the agreement that Anna signed with Leo back then?” 

“Leo is not a fool. When he found that I couldn‘t prove that I‘m Wayne‘s subordinate, he put away all the documents and refused to show them to me. I could only take some of the documents secretly. You only asked me to do an investigation and didn‘t ask me to collect the originals when we signed the contract. You can‘t deduct my wages,” Pearson said. 

Ada felt irritable when she heard his words.

Money, money. His mind is full of money! 

Suddenly, she thought of something. Then she turned to look at him and said, “Since you love money so much, how about you do another thing for me? I will give you eight hundred thousand dollars after you finish it.” 

“Eight hundred thousand dollars?” Pearson looked her up and down and asked cautiously, “What do you want me to do?” 

“I hope that the truth of this matter would be a secret forever,” Ada said meaningfully with her eyes full of viciousness, 

“I won‘t commit murder no matter how much money you give me,” Pearson refused without hesitation. “I‘m just a detective. You should hire a killer to do it for you.” 

Ada said, “Who asked you to commit murder? I just want you to destroy all the originals in Leo‘s hands. Can‘t you do it?” 

Hearing this, Pearson hesitated. He could do it but it was a hard task. 

“I want one million dollars.” After thinking for a moment, he said as he looked up at Ada. “It‘s risky to do such a thing. Besides, trespassing into others‘ houses is illegal.” 

“No problem,” Ada agreed without hesitation. “It‘s a deal.” 

After Pearson left, Jason locked the door of the dressing room and said, “Are you sure you will let him do that? He seems to be not good at doing such a thing. What if he hurt Leo?”
