“I have already discreetly begun investigating, he assured her, his voice firm. “My people are digging deeper into Mrs. Phelps past, her connections, and anything that might shed light on what happened. I also did an in-depth investigation of

Mr. Oh

Sofia appreciated his efforts, but a knot of worry remained in her stomach. “Finding out who killed her won’t bring her back.” she said softly. “But it will it will make sure they don’t get away with it. Her voice trembled slightly as she recalled her last conversation with Mrs. Phelps.

At that time, she asked her to gather evidence that could harm Mr. Oh. Sofia wanted something concrete against Mr. Oh, and Mrs. Phelps would have been the perfect pawn

She never expected this to happen. Sadly, she doesn’t have any specifics about Mrs. Phelps’ death, and she could only wait for the police to come up with something.
