Joel noticed the unusual expression on Fabian’s face and quickly walked over. “Mr. Evans, is everything alright?”

“Nothing,” Fabian replied, stepping forward and heading toward the car.

Seeing this, Joel hurriedly took a few steps forward and opened the car door. After Fabian settled into the seat, he shut the door and quickly jogged to the driver’s seat.

The atmosphere inside the car felt tense. Joel could sense the heavy mood around Fabian, and for a moment, he didn’t dare speak.

It wasn’t until they went further that Fabian finally spoke up, “I want to know everything about the girl who wore the mask last time. The more detailed, the better.”

Joel reacted quickly. He understood that Fabian was referring to the girl who had performed alongside Holden at the Star Venue. He thought, ‘Didn’t he say that there was no need to investigate her? Why the sudden change of mind?‘

However, he didn’t dare hesitate. “Understood, Mr. Evans,” he said. Whatever task Fabian gave him, there was always a reason behind it. As his subordinate, his job was to follow orders and execute them.

Fabian kept his gaze fixed on the window, wondering, ‘If Elysia was connected to the child who had passed away all those years ago, and if she truly was a member of the Evans family–my sister…‘ He couldn’t bear to think any further.

He thought that if everything turned out to be as he suspected, then Elysia must have endured far more than she should. He wondered, ‘What kind of life has she lived? How has she been treated? What if her life has been miserable?‘

These questions echoed in his mind, impossible to shake off. There were too many things he didn’t understand. Maybe he would have answers once the truth finally came to light.

The next morning, a major news story spread over Milton School. Gossip about the Davis family spread like wildfire, and once Robert’s fans heard the news, their spirits took a dive.

After all, such a huge upheaval had hit Robert’s family, and he was still just a teenager, barely nineteen. It was hard for him to handle all of this. Even though he was talented, it wasn’t going to be easy for him to overcome it.
