Maxine took a deep breath, her fists clenched in anger. Through gritted teeth, she demanded, “Are you saying they had awyer tell my dad something that drove him to such despair he took his own life?”

    Lucas nodded. “That’s pretty much the gist of it, but we still haven’t been able to track down thatwyer from back then.”

    Lucas sighed heavily. “After all these years, we might never find anything. Given how ruthless the Jenson family isb, /bthatwyer was probably silenced for good.”

    Maxine could actually guess these things. She nodded and said to Lucas, “Could you help me look into this? If you seed, I’ll offer

    reward.”

    you a

    substantia!

    Lucas quickly waved his hand. “Just give it to him when the timees. It was really no trouble at all for me. Besidesb, /bafter all the heinous crimes the Jenson family hasmitted, it’s only right they face justice.”

    The two of them had known each other since their freshman year of college. Back then, Maxine’s hardships were obvious to everyone, at her poorest, she survived on nothing but pure bread.

    Lucas sighed softly. “You’ve had a really hard time these years. If you can let it go… don’t let the past weigh you down nowb./b”

    Maxine knew he meant well and gave him a faint smile. “I knowi. /iThanks for looking out for me, Lucas.”

    When Lucas mentioned it today, Maxine was instantly reminded of how her father hade home beaming with excitement, telling her he’dnded a major project. He promised that once it was finished and he got his bonus, he would treat her to a nice meal.

    The Jenson family spun a perfect dream for Micah.

    Then, just as quickly, they yanked him straight iinto /ithe abyss, dragging his entire family down with him.

    Maxine copied the files from Lucas’sputer and looked at him earnestly. “Thatwyer from back then, Lucas, you have to help me find him,” she pleaded urgently.

    ‘Thatwyer must be our first lead,‘ Maxine thought.

    “Don’t worry,” Lucas reassured her. “Thatwyer probably iisn’t /iwell–connected, should be easy to track down.”

    Before he could finish speaking, his phone rang in his pocket. Lucas hastily answered, “Hello? What’s the emergency?

    “Wait there, I’m on my way now.”

    After hanging up, he gave Maxine an apologetic smile. “Sorry, the ER just got a patient in critical condition, I have to rush back to perform emergency surgery. But I’ll keep looking into it for you.”

    Maxine quickly said, “Then I’ll leave it to you, Lucas.”

    Lucas gave her a quick nod, then hopped back on his bike and rode off.

    Most of the documents Lucas gave her detailed the various legal disputes the Jenson family was involved in back then. Without exception, the parties either suspiciously met with idents or mysteriously failed to appear bin /bcourt when the hearings began.

    Yet, incredibly, no one questioned it back then.

    It wasn’t just her father, countless others had their reputations ruined by the Jenson family’s schemes, and in the end, many even lost their lives.
