Chapter 1032

Ever since Ludwik returned from the forensic department of Bloom District's Public Security Bureau, doubts had been swirling in his mind. The medical examiner mentioned that the suspect had been poisoned for several days already.

This indicated that Bryce had been planning his move for a while.

Undoubtedly, Bryce and Florence must have conspired earlier to silence Phineas.

Ludwik speculated that perhaps Florence had deceived this 'mysterious person,' fearing her own identity might be exposed.

He also inferred from Florence's plastic surgery that if she had assumed a fake identity, it had to be somehow related to Whitney.

Could the mysterious person have some connection to Whitney as well?

Similar appearances...

With a sharp squint, Ludwik pieced together the puzzle. Through Inko Group, finding information on this mysterious person proved futile; Parker mentioned that Phineas's international meetings were secretive, with no public attendee lists.

He vividly remembered a security guard at Inko's headquarters mentioning how few in Berlidon could recognize their CEO, a person shrouded in mystery and discretion. Florence's fear of meeting this individual suggested he might be from Harmonia Country, perhaps even a familiar face.

What was the link to Whitney?

A flicker of thought crossed Ludwik's deep eyes as he dialed the number.

"...Didn't you have something to ask me?"

On the other end, Whitney, unaware of his contemplation, prompted him with a murmur, "Are you going to ask or not?"

"Ask!" He chuckled softly, hiding his gloomy mood.

Pretending to be casual, he started, "Just chatting about your family stuff.

Whitney, your dad's side of the Sheldon family, besides Hugh Sheldon and your aunt, did your granddad have any other kids or relatives outside? Have you ever heard of anything like that?"
