Chapter 972 Beatrice's Family
I responded, "Someone brought her in. By the way, can you look into Nicholas's case? Why did it end up unresolved? What exactly happened?" "Nicholas Mcclain?" Grayson asked back.
Before I could answer, Lauren chimed in, "Yes, that Nicholas. He used to be Arthur's secretary's driver. Later, he got into trouble and even got into a massive car accident. "This guy went to prison for a while, and later it all fizzled out. We don't even know when he was released from prison. Check how he got out and what he's up to now." Lauren said exactly what I had in mind.
"Sure thing, no problem," Grayson replied.
After discussing this, I lowered my head to look at the documents in my hands, only to discover that this was the real information about Beatrice.
Surprised, I asked Grayson, "Did you really manage to find information on Beatrice so quickly? Your speed is impressive."
I have to admit that I truly admire my subordinate. Atlas sent me an efficient assistant.
Grayson cryptically said, "Let's talk about the big twist in your classmate's situation. Your classmate might not actually be suffering from a mental illness and was possibly set up." Lauren also sat down, eager to hear more. She looked at Grayson with anticipation.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing, and gasped.
"What do you mean? Are you saying that Beatrice might not actually have a mental illness?"
Lauren was also getting excited.
Grayson nodded solemnly. "It seems that way, although it's just our speculation. Based on the information we've gathered so far, Beatrice might not be sick at all."
Lauren urged him, "Go on, tell us!"
I couldn't believe my ears and looked at Grayson. He walked over, pulled out the chair in front of me, and sat down.
"Based on the information we found, the Chandler family has a prominent position in Gerby. They have a company that produces cables, which is doing quite well, with many orders for export. They also have a dairy business."
I nodded, knowing as much. Beatrice was indeed very privileged back then.
"Beatrice's father, Byron Chandler,
entered the business world quite
early. But we need to start with Beatrice's mother, Helen Keller. She's the heiress of the Keller family's dairy business in Gerby and has an excellent family background. She and Byron were high school classmates."
Grayson's narrative was detailed, and Lauren and I were fixed on him, afraid to miss any details.
"As fate would have it, they also had
a classmate named Jocelyn Marrow. Jocelyn was Helen's close friend. The two of them were in middle school together, and later; both managed to get into Gerby
High School. There, they ran into Byron and became classmates again.
"Jocelyn is quite beautiful, even more so than Beatrice's mother. Byron, although not very handsome, was tall. He didn't come from a wealthy family, but he had good grades and was always second place in school. He was the school's
heartthrob."
"Of course, Jocelyn and Helen both secretly liked Byron. Helen came from a renowned family. Although she was not as beautiful, she was generous and kind.
I guessed what was coming when I heard this.
I interjected, "It seems that Beatrice is really like her mother! Beatrice was very outgoing and generous. Everyone in our school liked her."
Grayson snapped his fingers and nodded, saying, "Exactly! Helen was reportedly the same back when she was in high school. She was kind, generous, and outgoing. But now it seems that this was not a good attitude."
Grayson continued, "Jocelyn saw the potential in her, befriended Helen, and stuck to her like a shadow."
Lauren had already guessed what was going on and sighed. "That's tragic."
