However, the outcome of the investigation caught many off guard—a mere car accident.

Reluctantly, people had no option but to accept this conclusion.

Over time, the memory of Connor's death faded from public consciousness.

A flicker of suspicion ignited within Darren, sensing that Sabrina held knowledge that could shed Light on the truth.

Sabrina revealed that her case carried inherent risks.

Many of the people Connor offended were plutocrats, and they had done many questionable things.

Darren's curiosity piqued, he inquired, “So this case is connected to your father?"

“It appears you're already acquainted with my father's reputation. No need for introductions then," Sabrina replied with a hint of amusement.

“Before I delve into my request, I must ask you something. Are you aware of the kidnapping incident in Mathias that happened shortly before my father's passing?"

Darren bowed his head slightly as he searched his memories. "It does ring a bell," he admitted.

“My father was investigating that very case at the time."

Darren's eyes widened with realization. "Have you uncovered something significant?"

Otherwise, Sabrina wouldn't have sought him out almost a decade after Connor's untimely demise.

Initially, Darren suspected the influential plutocrats whom Connor had crossed were responsible. But he never anticipated a connection to the kidnapping case.

Sabrina nodded, her gaze unwavering. “Are you willing to take on the task? If you agree, I can disclose what I know. If not, I implore you to keep today's conversation confidential."

Darren met Sabrina's gentle yet determined gaze, and a moment of silence hung in the air as he contemplated the gravity of the situation.

His passion and sense of righteousness had been eroded over the years.

In his line of work, he had witnessed countless criminal activities that left him feeling indignant yet powerless.

The harsh realities of life had smoothed out the edges of justice that had once defined him.

Early in his career as a detective, he founded his own agency. However, when he refused a client for moral reasons, the client reported him and threatened his family. Despite Darren's pleas for help, authorities did not assist him. The client reveled in his power and boasted, forcing Darren to shut down his agency.
