Yuna said, “Yes, Boss. I want to go to Jorlandia and look into the hospital where Bella gave birth all those years ago. Maybe we can uncover some truths”

Elysia said, “Alright.”

Yuna added, “There’s one more thing. Matthew is dead”

Yuna said, “This afternoon, I went to the hospital and happened to run into Emma. I followed her to Matthew’s ward. They had a heated argument, and Matthew was literally worked up to death. I recorded everything and I’ll send it to you shortly.”

“Good.” Hanging up, Elysia held her phone, her mind racing. She hadn’t expected Emma to be so ruthless, going after a sick man who was Robert’s father. She couldn’t help but wonder what Robert would think if he found out the truth about Matthew’s death.

Zane raised an eyebrow. “All done?”

Elysia nodded. “Yeah, it’s done.”
