Divya, sitting on the edge of the bed, looked at her father and asked, "Dad, can you tell us exactly what happened?"

Pearson recounted the story with a stoic expression.

"I don't know how Stetson discovered that our factory had caught fire years ago. He also uncovered our use of illegal equipment and the lack of proper fire safety measures, which resulted in several deaths. I managed to bribe the person in charge of the investigation at that time and shifted the blame onto the workers' mishandling of equipment. That way, we didn't have to pay substantial compensation or be held accountable. But Stetson has obtained evidence of the incident."

“We can try to locate the person who helped us cover it up and...” his wife said, only for Pearson to cut her off, "It's useless. That person retired a long time ago."

His wife began to worry.
