Chapter 389 389: That's the lead

"How can you be so sure that Aunt Sherlyn has some connection with Jedrick?" Gabriel asked.

"There's no other reason he would have hired her. If he truly wanted to keep Valeria hidden, he wouldn't have picked someone so close to us."

Eveline's explanation made sense.

"Something is off, and we need to figure out what," she declared.

Gabriel watched as Eveline hurried to her desk, quickly turning on her laptop. She began sifting through information on Jedrick once more.

"You think we missed something?" he asked.

"I'm not sure, but it doesn't hurt to double-check. Besides, I want to see if there's any lead we overlooked."

Gabriel didn't say another word and joined her in combing through the data. But after hours of searching, they found nothing.

"Nothing seems unusual," Eveline muttered, disappointed.

Gabriel exchanged a concerned glance with her. They had everything about Jedrick laid out in front of them—every piece of information they could gather—yet it still wasn't enough. And that realization was frustrating.

Then, suddenly, Gabriel said, "How about we look into Aunt Sherlyn's details?"

Eveline met his gaze, understanding his intent, and nodded.

With swift movements across the keyboard, she pulled up information on Sherlyn Norman within minutes.

They carefully combed through every detail until something caught their attention.

"Wait a second… Did Jeremy Norman work with Jedrick in the past?" Gabriel asked, noticing a familiar connection in the records they were scrolling through.

Eveline frowned, deep in thought, but soon realized she was considering the same possibility.

"The information does suggest that," Eveline murmured. "But we don't know when or how they met. Also, there's no record indicating if they're still business partners."
