Chapter 497 An Accidental Discovery

Truthfully, he hadn’t wanted to be suspicious of Jean.

He knew exactly what kind of person she was.

But even so, many of her actions didn’t quite add up. Was she really, as the rumors claimed, the illegitimate daughter of a Stellarford employee?

He wasn’t sure when the doubt first took root, but eventually, curiosity began to grow.

Later, he finally made up his mind-

And yet here he was… investigating her behind her back.

But he told himself–he just wanted to know who she really was.

No matter who she turned out to be or where she came from, it wouldn’t change anything for him-

He just wanted to know her better. Understand her more.
