Chapter 440 Jacob came out of prison and abandoned the car, opting to walk instead. He wanted to clear his mind and go over the details of the case again.
âThe end is the beginning,â Jacob mused repeatedly, sensing that Thorneâs words held significant meaning.
On the street, a hotel was hosting a grand wedding. The bride had a big belly, indicating that she was expecting twins.
Across the street, there was a hotel with a large wreath placed at the entrance. On it, big characters written with a brush spelled out the word âcondolencesâ, creating a stark contrast with the neighboring âhappinessâ.
Death, how sad it was.
But the wedding, and it was a wedding where the bride was carrying new life, how joyous it was.
Jacob seemed to have thought of something, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
He seemed to have understood the meaning of âthe end is just the beginningâ.
He suddenly couldnât help but burst into laughter.
It was the heavens that helped him, allowing him to coincidentally encounter this occasion where a funeral and a celebration were held at the same time. Otherwise, he would have racked his brains and still couldnât come up with it.

Chapter 440 288 Vouchers At this moment, he heard a few middleâaged women sitting on the adjacent antiâcorrosion wooden bench murmuring, âIn this place, there have been several happy events and several funerals happening every day recently. I wonder if itâs a coincidence or something supernatural.â
Jacob felt a chill down his spine, and he believed that coming here was not a coincidence, but rather someone had guided him here in a mysterious way.
And was that person No. 13?
He quickened his pace and quickly left that eerie place.
Jacob returned home and Mrs. Gibson eagerly approached him.
âDid you see that Thorne?â
âHmm.â Jacob felt extremely exhausted, and he didnât know why. He had only exchanged a few words with Thorne, but he was completely worn out.
âWhat is he really like?â Mrs. Gibson was very interested. Is this Mr. Thorne truly as rebellious and wicked as Mrs. Sanchez said, or as gentle and innocent as Thea said?
Jacob shook his head, âHe was a very goodâlooking child.
Likable at first sight. But...â
Jacob suddenly opened his eyes and said, âHe was an exceptionally gifted child.â
Mrs. Gibson was puzzled and said, âIf he is such an excellent child, Mrs. Sanchez really has no vision. If it were me, I would definitely nurture him well and treat him as my own son. He 14.73%
288 Vouchers Chapter 440 would surely have a bright future.â
Jacob suddenly had a sudden realization and excitedly grabbed Mrs. Gibsonâs hand, saying, âMadam, today Thorne said to me:
âThe end is the beginning!â This sentence is probably guiding me to investigate his birth. Since you and Mrs. Sanchez are best friends, you must know some inside information about the Sanchez family. Please tell me everything you know.â
Mrs. Gibson fell into deep thought. After a long while, her vacant gaze returned, and she said, âI remember now. Mrs. Sanchez mentioned to me before that her family was poor, and Lady Sanchez looked down on her background. So, Lady Sanchez did everything she could to hinder her marriage to Mr. Sanchez. In the end, Lady Sanchez introduced Olivia, who came from a wellâ
matched family, to Mr. Sanchez. However, Olivia unfortunately had a short life, and they were only married for a few years before she passed away. Mr. Sanchez then reunited with the current Mrs. Sanchez. Lady Sanchez probably thought it would be difficult for her son to find a woman from a highâranking family while carrying the reputation of abandoning his first wife. So, she reluctantly agreed to this match.â
Jacob listened attentively, occasionally interrupting Mrs. Gibson, âHow did Olivia die?â
âIt seemed like he jumped off the building to commit suicide.â
Jacob pondered, âOlivia was the Miss of the Brown family, talented and delicate. How could she leave her young child and jump off the building out of the blue?â
âIn my opinion, it must have been due to the fact that my 30.84%
Chapter 440 288 Vouchers husband had cherished Baiyueguang in his heart and was feeling depressed,â Mrs. Gibson speculated.
Jacob shook his head, âIf Oliviaâs death was caused by Mr. Sanchez, the Brown family would definitely not let him go. But now the Brown family and the Sanchez family are getting along well, it can be seen that Oliviaâs death should have nothing to do with Mr. Sanchez.â
Mrs. Gibson suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up a lot, and she said, âMrs. Sanchez often mentions Olivia, but she is full of anger. She calls her a shameless bitch and has caused Mr. Sanchez a lot of trouble. I always feel that Olivia may have done something to hurt Mr. Sanchez.â
Jacob suddenly brightened up and said, âIf thatâs the case, will Mr. Sanchez transfer his resentment towards Olivia onto Thorne?â
Mrs. Gibson widened her eyes as if she had discovered a new continent, âIf Mr. Sanchez truly treated Thorne like a precious gem, how could Thorne have possibly fallen into the hands of human traffickers when he was young? And how could he have ended up with a disability? Children from wealthy and prestigious families are always taken care of meticulously. Now that you mention it, I do feel that Mr. Sanchez is somewhat indifferent towards that child.â
Mrs. Gibsonâs sympathy overflowed, âRegardless, the child is innocent. If they were to transfer their hatred towards Olivia onto Thorne, it would be truly cruel.â
Jacob looked serious and said, âThe Sanchez family and the Brown family were the ones who underestimated Thorne. Why did Thorne have to bring down all four major families 50.46%
288 Vouchers Chapter 440 together?â
He shook his head, utterly confused, and said, âThorneâs scheming and cunning are truly unfathomable.â
Mrs. Gibsonâs eyes darkened. She solemnly reminded Jacob, âHusband, you have always had a reputation for hating evil. This time, if you are going to help the Sanchez family, you must keep your eyes wide open. Donât end up helping a wolf in sheepâs clothing, a beast with a human face.â
Jacob nodded, âDonât worry, I still need to investigate this matter.â
Seeing that the Thorne trial was imminent, but there was still no movement on Jacobâs side, Thea couldnât sit still anymore.
That day, she took the initiative to meet with Mrs. Gibson, and unexpectedly Mrs. Gibson readily agreed.
Beauty salon.
Mrs. Gibson had just walked out of the elevator when a hand quickly pulled her into the stairwell. As Mrs. Gibson regained her composure, she saw Thea raising her hand and making a gesture for her to be silent.
Thea lowered her voice and said, âMrs. Gibson, today I have a good show for you. Please donât make a sound.â
Then she led Mrs. Gibson into a room, walking quietly and carefully. The room was not big, just relatively long, so it was divided into two small rooms by a partition, specifically for providing oneâonâone private beauty and body services for noble ladies.

Chapter 440 288 Vouchers Mrs. Gibson was a bit puzzled. Was Thea inviting her for a beauty treatment? But why the need for secrecy?
Thea indicated that she lay in the outside compartment, and the gentle waitress immediately approached to serve Mrs. Gibson.
Meanwhile, Thea started changing into the waiterâs uniform, wearing a waiterâs mask and hat. Then she walked towards the compartments inside.
âMrs. Sanchez, Iâm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long.â
Mrs. Gibson immediately understood when she heard the hoarse voice deliberately made by Thea inside.
The guest inside was Mrs. Sanchez. Thea didnât know what she wanted to do with her. Mrs. Gibson observed quietly.
Mrs. Sanchez has always been arrogant towards the waiters. âDo you know youâre late and still not hurrying up?â
Thea looked at the âbatterâ she had prepared, in fact, they were all plaster.
She poured them onto Mrs. Sanchezâs face and body, and the plaster quickly hardened and solidified.
Thea suddenly regained her original voice and asked, âMrs. Sanchez, what do you think?â
