Chapter 481

Previously, Aidan had been paying too much attention to Leroy until he started to notice the mysteries that subsequently surfaced about the explosion 20 years ago.

Having managed to escape, Leanna's mother could have approached Mr. Jackson for help anytime throughout the three months in which Leroy was unconscious in the hospital. However, she didn't do that. Instead, she took her daughter with her and married a scoundrel. Maybe Jethro was indeed a decent man back then, but I can't understand why she'd do that unless she was hiding something or was threatened to do so. Anyway, Leroy was lying in the hospital at that time, so he wouldn't have been capable of pulling any of those off. Furthermore, he thought they were killed in the explosion.

"In the same year?" Leanna probed.

Aidan replied with an affirmative hum. "During the accident that Justin was caught in, he was the only survivor while his driver and the one who caused the tragedy died on the spot. However, he was left with his legs paralyzed for the rest of his life, and he could never stand on his feet again."

"H-How did the accident happen?"

"It was a case of drunk driving."

When Leanna heard that, she frowned in response. "Both drivers must have been speeding to cause an accident that took two lives away. Look, I know that driver was at fault for drunk driving, but what about Justin's driver? Justin was in his car, so why was he speeding?"

"That's a good question. You're pretty smart," Aidan said with a chuckle.

Leanna was speechless for a second before she continued, "You'd better start talking." Come on, man! Considering what just happened, how can you not be serious?

Aidan replied, "That's the problem. After the accident happened, there were no signs of attempted braking on the scene."

"Are you saying the two cars rammed each other headlong?" Leanna paused and continued, "But wouldn't that have been too obvious? Didn't you… Or Old Master Pearson investigate the matter?"
