Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!
Chapter 480: So Tonight, Don’t Leave
When the soup started to emit its fragrant aroma.
Thea Shaw sniffed the fresh fragrance in the air and suddenly heard Landon Ford say in a low voice, "It seems like I’ve found one."
Thea immediately asked, "What?"
Ah, whose culinary skills did he inherit to make even the aroma so pleasant to smell!
So, Thea couldn’t concentrate, with just this stack of documents, her eyes were spinning, unable to find any commonality.
Perhaps it was really just a coincidence, they were overthinking it.
At this moment, hearing Landon say this, she was a bit surprised.
Landon took out Samuel Hayes’ file and pointed out a small note to Thea: "I just carefully reviewed the information of these dozen people and found that Samuel Hayes and another sponsored individual, Solomon Vaughn, along with four other people who fell ill, all visited Fenmore at different times, but... this is actually very normal."
Fenmore is a famous tourist city, renowned for having several A-grade scenic areas and is a city with an ancient cultural heritage.
Every year, not just domestically, but people from all over the world visit Fenmore in large numbers.
Domestically, those who haven’t been to Fenmore are considered to be in the minority.
Everyone’s life paths will intersect at some point, and Fenmore might be that intersection, the only common point Landon could find.
Samuel Hayes visited many times, usually for business talks, Solomon Vaughn also went there, and the four others who fell ill visited at different times, everyone went there several times, maybe just for tourism.
"Fenmore, huh..."
Thea felt it was troublesome upon hearing this, even though she hadn’t been there, she knew how famous the city was.
This common point could completely be explained as a coincidence.
But there were no other suspicions at the moment, this was the only point they could seize upon.
She thought for a moment and said, "But Solomon Vaughn died in an accident."
Solomon Vaughn was also a renowned entrepreneur, like Samuel Hayes, he died in a car accident eight years ago, also not in Fenmore.
Landon sneered, "There are many accidents in this world, and for wealthy people, they always seem somewhat unusual."
Solomon Vaughn’s car accident made the news at the time, the driver drunk driving and ran a red light, and he was unfortunate enough to be the victim of this drunk driving accident, along with his driver who was also killed.
The scene was said to be horrific, and the drunk driver’s still in prison to this day.
Solomon Vaughn’s family had no objections to the verdict, but it’s not to say they couldn’t be involved, rather Solomon Vaughn was at his peak at the time, the group relied entirely on him, and his family lacked his capabilities; harming him would’ve meant handing over the company’s affairs to outsiders, a thankless job they wouldn’t do, but the incident happened and there’s no way to change it.
Due to this, everyone could only sigh at Solomon Vaughn’s bad luck at the time, but now, prompted by Landon’s mention, "Could his death have been an accident?"
Landon: "I’m just speculating casually, just like our investigation of this matter now, it could very well be mere coincidence, after all, we haven’t found any conclusive commonality, it’s unlikely to conclude there’s an earth-shattering conspiracy in this."
In other words, there’s no motive, cause, or conclusion, it’s all based on a hunch.
Landon stood up, "I’ll have someone look into it, I’ll go serve you some soup."
Thea was moved, "Landon, you’re so busy every day, and you still have to deal with these things..."
Landon: "So don’t even think about leaving tonight."
Thea: "..."
