Nathan didn’t reply to Lucas‘ question. Instead, he said, ” Thoroughly look into the death of her parents.


    Without a record of cremation, they might still be alive.”


    “Are we still looking into Ms. Hoffis as well?”


    “Keep investigating.”


    “Yes, sir!” Cole replied respectfully.


    Nathan asked again, “Where is the research paper she published?”


    Cole took out his phone and pulled up the document before handing it to him.


    Taking the phone, Nathan studied the paper and fell into


    immense confusion.


    “Core Analysis and Research on Derivative Nanotechnology of Copper, Iron, Steel and Cyanide in a


    Redox Reaction.”

    “Synthesis of Molecr Metal Re–Separation and Its Chemical Application.”


    He continued scrolling down. Although he couldn’t understand the contents, he knew they were all


    rted to chemistry.


    Resting his elbow on the edge of the window, Nathan rubbed his forehead with his fingers. “Find a way


    to


    retrieve DNA samples of Sally and Mr. Hoffis Senior, but do it discreetly.”


    Cole and Lucas cast each other a nce. They understood


    what was on Nathan’s mind.


    “Yes, sir,” they replied in unison.


    The next morning, Suzanne was woken up by the persistent ringing of her phone. She had trouble


    falling asleep the entire night and was only able to get some rest in the early hours of the morning.


    She reached for her phone tiredly and ced it next to her


    ear. Her mother–inw’s tense and irritated voice sounded


    from the other end.


    “Who on earth did your dear brother tick off, Suzanne?”


    Suzanne immediately sat up, more alert. “What’s wrong,


    Florence?”


    “A bunch of hooligans showed up at the house this morning iming your brother owes them money.


    They said you’ve


    vouched for him too. They caused a scene, demanding we pay off his debt.”


    Suzanne’s face turned white from rage. She hurriedly lifted the covers and got out of bed.


    As she frantically flipped through her drawer for clothes, she said, “No one is vouching for him in the


    family,


    Florence. You don’t need to care about those people. Just call the police if they try anything. I’m


    rushing back to take


    care of it now.”


    Florence sighed. “You don’t need to rush back, it’s settled.”


    Suzanne halted and asked, surprised, “Settled?”


    “Yeah, I paid your brother’s debt and had them on their way.


    11 Her voice sounded extremely displeased.


    After all, who was willing to have inws like these?


    Suzannepletely understood why she was unhappy.


    “I’m sorry, Florence. I’ll pay you back as soon as possible,” she said as she slumped on the edge of the


    bed. She lowered


    her head and felt extremely upset.


    Florence sighed again and said, “No need to thank me. We’re family, after all. I don’t need you to pay


    me back, either. I just hope incidents like this won’t happen again..


    “Ask your brother to get his act together. Stop going around getting into debt and dragging the Morrison


    family down


    with him.”


    Suzanne felt increasingly guilty, and she felt angrier the more she thought about her family’s shameless


    behavior. All she could do was apologize profusely.


    Nathan had signed the divorce papers. Soon, they would no longer be a family.


    She kept apologizing.


    After the call ended, she immediately phoned Samuel York.


    A momentter, his gleeful voice was heard. “Why did you think of calling me today, Suzanne?”


    She drew a deep breath and suppressed her anger as she demanded, “Why did you have your debt


    collectors disturb the Morrison family? Have you gone mad over money? Do you have any morals at


    all?”
