If the person in front of her had been the fleeing Katherine, Olivia wouldnât have been this composed.
That was why she could confidently reassure Kimberly and ease her anxious heart.
To change the mood, Olivia playfully suggested, âHow about tomorrow, I personally intimidate Jaxon and make him swear an oath?â
She rested her chin on her hand, her clear eyes playfully swirling as she continued, âVincent is quite capable. Why not let him handle it, stuff Jaxon into a sack, give him a good beating, and then issue a stern warning? Itâs best to drive him out of Dellmoor to eliminate any future troubles.â
Kimberly was taken aback, hardly believing these words were coming from Olivia. This girl had somehow developed a sense of humor and even a touch of cu nning.
Jaxon had always been a sore point for her, and she never expected Olivia to confront her painful past and even make jokes about it.
This, once again, proved that Olivia had moved on from that painful chapter.
As Oliviaâs best friend, Kimberly couldnât be happier.
With Oliviaâs support and cheerful spirit, Kimberly didnât want to waste the opportunity to enjoy the positive atmosphere.
She dashed over to Olivia and playfully tickled her, knowing just where to make her laugh.
Kimberly targeted her best friendâs weak spot and showed no mercy. It was all in good fun, and the nursery soon filled with laughter and playful sounds. Olivia started to plead, âPlease spare me, boss. I wonât do it again.â
John and Esther, long-time employees of the Larson residence, watched the two friends having fun and felt relieved to see Kimberly so happy.
After becoming pregnant, Kimberly felt a noticeable decrease in her energy levels.
Following a busy day yesterday, she had planned to take it easy and enjoy a slow-paced day today.
Kimberly admired Oliviaâs exceptional time management skills, as Olivia had always been a highly disciplined individual.
When Kimberly woke up naturally, Olivia had already left the Larson residence.
Olivia had messaged Kimberly, saying that she had been asked out by Jaxon to discuss a case.
Kimberly chuckled, knowing that Jaxon was trying to act professionally, likely with ulterior motives.
However, since Olivia had moved on from her past feelings about her intentions and not give Jaxon false hopes.
it was important to be clear It was already April, and though the sun wasnât scorching, staying in the courtyard for too long made Kimberly break a light sweat.
She spent a while outdoors before returning to her room.
Noticing that John and Esther were just finishing their work, she called them over to have a chat.
Both John and Esther were honest and well-mannered, having been loyal and dedicated to the Larson family for a long time, a rarity in itself.
Kimberly wanted to express her gratitude and learn more about her parents.
Seeing Kimberly being so warm and welcoming, both of them felt honored but also a bit awkward, not knowing where to place their hands or feet.
Kimberly noticed their discomfort and decided to ease the situation. âEsther, John, youâve both been with the Larson family for a long time, taking care of my parents before. Youâre like family to me.â
The two sitting opposite her were moved by the mention of Cameron and Diana, especially Esther, whose eyes welled up with tears.
âMr. and Mrs. Larson were good people. They were kind to everyone, but life was not kind to them,â
Esther mumbled, wiping her tears. âIf it werenât for that car accident, your family would be happily reunited now. It was their lifelong wish.â
Kimberly took out a few tissues and handed them over.
Estherâs mention of the car accident reminded Kimberly that David had mentioned that Cameronâs driver, Fabian Gibson, was the prime suspect in the case.
Following up on Estherâs information, Kimberly inquired, âWas my fatherâs driver named Fabian?â
Both Esther and John confirmed, âYes, he is.â
âThe day before the accident, he had requested leave from Mr. Larson to attend to some family matters, which is why he wasnât driving for them. He narrowly escaped the 56%%%
accident,â John explained. âNormally, Mr. Larson hardly ever drove himself; it was usually Fabian behind the wheel. He was considered a seasoned member of the Larson family.â
Kimberlyâs suspicion was confirmed. Her brotherâs suspicions seemed to align closely with the truth.
Kimberly had the urge to bring Fabian in for questioning right that instant.
However, she composed herself and asked earnestly, âWhat kind of person was Fabian? Did he have any vices like gambling?â
Esther was taken aback by Kimberlyâs sudden interest in Fabian, whom she had never met.
Nevertheless, Estherâs intuition told her that there was a problem with Fabian.
For Esther, Cameron had always been a level-headed individual, and reckless speeding didnât align with his character. They had been eagerly anticipating their daughterâs return for half their lives, so there was no rush in this matter.
Therefore, she couldnât believe that the deaths of Cameron and Diana were merely the result of a car accident caused by speeding.
With this in mind, Esther was even more eager to share her thoughts. âMs. Larson, have you discovered any clues?â
Continuing, she added, âFabian isnât young and has never been married. He has an elderly mother in his hometown who depends on him for support. He doesnât have any vices; he doesnât smoke, drink, or engage in promiscuous affairs. However, he is quite interested in stocks. Back then, he received severe scoldings from Mr. Larson on a couple of occasions for this.â
Kimberly seemed to have found the information she sought and interjected, âWhy did Dad scold him?â
John, showing excitement, slapped his thigh and stood up. âThatâs right, I remember now. There were two instances when Fabian requested an advance in his salary, which raised Mr. Larsonâs suspicions. It was later discovered that he was investing in stocks and had opened a margin trading account, which eventually led to a tragic liquidation.â
Kimberly didnât expect John to be well-versed in professional stock investment terminology.
Nevertheless, it indicated that the people in the estate were well aware of the e situation at that time.
Esther chimed in, âIndeed, Mr. Larson was kind. He gave Fabian multiple chances and even assisted him in paying off some usurious loans.â
Kimberly, being a skilled lawyer, was already connecting the fragmented information.
into a coherent chain of clues in her mind.
If Fabian was a compulsive gambler, he might have lacked self-discipline. At this point, if someone were to entice him in any way, his greedy nature could be easily exploited.
The crucial task now was to investigate the individuals connected to Fabianâs bank accounts. However, this was no simple feat, as cu nning individuals rarely used their real identities when engaging in illicit activities.
The primary goal was to locate Fabian in person.
Kimberly probed further, âThen why did Fabian suddenly resign after working as a driver of the Larson family for so long?â
This question left both Esther and John perplexed, and they shook their heads.
John said faintly. âAt that time, everyone was curious, Working at the Larson residence was considered a good job, offering a decent income without too demanding work. Jobs were hard to come by, and he wasnât young anymore. No one understood why he made such an unexpected decision.â
