Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 258

Clara raised an eyebrow, clearly puzzled. "Why are you so certain about this?"

Simon gazed into her eyes, feeling a strange satisfaction. It had been ages since Clara had listened to him with such patience.

"Clara, even though I'm pretty full of myself, I know my skills aren't on par with those shrewd folks from big families. The fact that I've picked up some clues here means something. The person behind this might be a rookie, leaving traces because they're not used to doing this kind of thing. Your accident, the coma that followed—it was obviously an attempt on your life. I'll look into the driver's background to see if he's some long-lost criminal."

Hearing this, Clara realized Simon had genuinely been putting in the effort on the investigation these past few days.

"Thank you."

Simon's eyes lit up with happiness. He felt a wave of joy, thinking that even lying in bed right now was totally worth it!

"You should get some rest. I'll dig into the driver's history quickly, and once we catch him, we'll find out who's pulling the strings."

"Okay."

Clara got up and left. As she stepped out of the hospital, she yawned, her eyes watering from exhaustion.
