Chapter 227: Protecting In Shadows

Thinking about everything revolving around Natalie and her mother, Justin couldn’t help but wonder just who Caryn Shaw really was. A woman powerful enough to orchestrate her own death and vanish without a trace, yet still hold influence even after years of hiding, was no ordinary person.

She’s definitely not simple.

"Have you found out anything about Caryn Shaw yet?" Justin asked. "Her past?"

Noah shook his head. "No, Mr. Harper. It seems her past doesn’t exist—or at least, there’s no record of it. The only information we have starts from her time at the orphanage."

"How did she end up there?" Justin pressed.

"When she was eight, the orphanage head found her unconscious at the gate," Noah explained. "She claimed to remember nothing, and since then, she was cared for by the orphanage."

"Someone must have left her there," Justin mused, his brows furrowing.

"Unfortunately, we couldn’t uncover anything more. It happened decades ago, back when surveillance cameras were rare, especially in areas like that. Even if there had been cameras, retrieving footage from so long ago would be nearly impossible."

Justin couldn’t argue with that. Even if someone had left her at the orphanage gate, tracking them down almost forty years later was a daunting task. If it had been an older individual, they were likely long gone. If not, they would be deep into old age by now.

But Justin wasn’t one to give up easily. If uncovering her past was what it took to protect Natalie, he was willing to go to any lengths to do so.

His eyes turned cold, Seems like I’ll have to get those answers from that woman itself.
