Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 806

The assistant quickly handed the file over to the man.

"Mr. Winston, time is of the essence. We've only managed to gather a limited amount of information, even after combining it with what we previously knew. This is everything we have."

Maurice's long fingers gracefully flipped open the file, turning each page with care.

"The Deputy Chairman of the International Trade Organization... how can his background be so spotless?"

Assistant Janie looked troubled, swallowing hard as she murmured, "I'm puzzled too. He joined the trade organization as a regular member and, in less than a month, was unexpectedly promoted to Deputy Chairman. He then went on to establish an international venture capital group. His rise through the ranks was unnaturally fast, yet six months ago, there was no trace of him at all. If he started as an unknown, how did he climb so quickly...?"

Maurice furrowed his brow, deep in thought. Six months ago, Silas was a ghost. Six months ago...

Suddenly, his grip on the file tightened, and he turned sharply to Janie, urgently asking, "Did we find anything about his family background?"

"Mr. Winston, he has no parents, but he does have a daughter."

"So, he and Violet are remarried?"

Janie quickly shook her head, then wore a peculiar expression. "No, Mr. Winston, his marital status has always been single, with no record of any romantic relationships."

"No romantic relationships, yet he has a daughter..."

"Yes, his daughter is named Margot Ward."

Janie blurted it out, and the name seemed to unlock something in her mind, lighting up her thoughts. She frowned, almost involuntarily whispering the name, "Margot... Margot... Could this be a coincidence?"
