The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 721

But then...

Later, he found out that the bodyguard had vanished from Northfield after that night. When he dug into the bodyguard's bank account, he discovered an extra $200,000. The money came from a boutique investment firm, and after some digging, it turned out Pete owned a whopping forty percent of the company. Just a month after the incident, Pete suddenly cashed out his shares. If Pete hadn’t sold his shares, he might never have stumbled upon the lead. But that’s where the trail went cold. The bodyguard was nowhere to be found.

Though the detective had unearthed some clues, there was no concrete witness to pin anything down. Yet, the fact that the investigation had led to Pete's doorstep meant Lucian had been keeping a closer eye on Pete for the past six months, discovering that the father and son duo, David and Pete, weren't as squeaky clean as they appeared on the surface. There were plenty of shady dealings going on behind closed doors.

Lucian shared all this with Miranda. In her heart, Miranda wanted to believe in Penelope. "What does any of this have to do with her? All it shows is that Pete's dirty. It doesn't prove that Penelope is in on it with him."

Lucian replied, "Penelope went for four prenatal check-ups, and each time, she was accompanied by someone from Pete's circle."

"What?" Miranda frowned. If that was the case... Why were Penelope and Pete so closely connected? Could it really have something to do with Penelope?

All year long, Miranda had been wracked with guilt over Penelope’s miscarriage after nine months of pregnancy. If Penelope was indeed involved, Miranda felt she had been terribly mistaken about her. "Do you have proof of what you're saying?"

"I have evidence of Penelope going to the check-ups with Pete's people. Plus, I'm investigating the clinic where she went."
