Daddy, You Got The Wrong Mommy-Chapter 243: Reinvestigation

The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously turned to the surveillance video, trying to find clues from this discovery.

"Damon, take a look at this man. Doesn’t his height and build resemble that long-haired woman?"

Cole pointed to one of the men in the footage.

Damon Hawke also saw the man.

He zoomed in on the footage, carefully identifying, a flicker of darkness flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, it’s him!"

What a cunning fox!

Dressed as a woman!

No wonder they couldn’t trace him no matter how hard they tried!

Damon took out his phone and dialed Rhun Quinn, "Rhun, investigate someone again..."

...

Airport.

Benjamin Harper just finished an event and was returning from out of town.

He saw the news and learned about Elara Don’s arrest.

Amazed and doubtful, he hurriedly had someone inquire about the situation, finding out the gist of her arrest.

The information provided by the police was that she was involved in selling illegal items and had caused a death.

How could Elara Don commit such illegal acts?

Benjamin completely disbelieved it and used his contacts to dig deeper, learning the deceased was the person who had caused the accident that killed Elara Don’s mother over ten years ago.

Elara was investigating the truth behind her mother’s death.

Clearly, the perpetrator was silenced, and Elara became the scapegoat.

Benjamin thought pensively, recalling another piece of news when Elara got into trouble, his eyes narrowing.

The events seemed too coincidental.

Why was Damon Hawke on the news with Evelyn Miles the day Elara was arrested?

He had always known Evelyn had an interest in Damon. Could it be possible that the Miles family deliberately plotted against Elara, intending Damon to marry Evelyn to save Elara?

The thought sent a shiver through Benjamin.

Gabriel Miles definitely had the means to do this!

What should he do?

Benjamin sat in the car, looking out at the darkening night, his eyes heavy.

Whether for Hunter or Elara, he couldn’t let Gabriel succeed.

He had to think of a way to rescue Elara.

The Miles family.

It was time for dinner.

Hunter and his wife, along with Evelyn, were waiting in the living room for Benjamin to come back so they could start dinner.

"Dad, I’m hungry. Can’t we start eating yet?"

Evelyn was disdainful about waiting for Benjamin to eat and spoke petulantly to Hunter.

"Let’s wait a little longer. Benjamin should be home soon."

Hunter glanced at the time, speaking.

"We’re all waiting for the son of a servant to start dinner, making him seem like the heir of the Miles family."

Evelyn pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction.

"Evelyn, is that how you speak?"

Hunter glanced at Evelyn, slightly reproving.

Evelyn opened her mouth to retort, but Mrs. Grant held her back, shaking her head.

Hunter was generous to people.

Not to mention, Benjamin’s father had saved Hunter’s life, so he naturally valued him more.

At this moment, footsteps sounded at the door.

"Uncle Miles, I’m back."

It was Benjamin who had returned.

Hunter rose with a smile, "You’re back? We’re just waiting for you to dine."

Benjamin smiled, looking at Mrs. Grant and Evelyn, "Sorry for making you wait."

"Dad, can we start eating now? I want to finish early and do some exercise!"

Evelyn spoke petulantly, getting up and heading to the dining room.

Mrs. Grant’s attitude toward Benjamin was also indifferent and distant as she followed Evelyn to the dining room.

Only Hunter patted Benjamin’s shoulder, showing warmth.

"Tired? Would you like to take a bath and rest for a while first?"

"I’m fine, let’s eat."

Benjamin smiled, joining Hunter in the dining room.

The group took their seats, and Benjamin glanced at Evelyn, saying, "Evelyn, I saw you and Mr. Hawke on the news. It said he accompanied you in City B for dinner and a concert. Are you close to finalizing your good news?"

Upon hearing this, Evelyn’s eyes flickered slightly, and a proud smile appeared on her lips.

"Probably, there shouldn’t be any mishaps."

Wait one more day, Damon will surely come to ask Uncle Miles for help, and then he will definitely agree to marry her!

"Oh? Such a thing? Evelyn, are you planning to reconcile with that boy from the Hawke Family?"

Hunter asked in surprise.

"Yes, after all, Tom is most suitable for Evelyn."

Mrs. Grant spoke timely, "Our two families are of similar status, and if we can unite through marriage, it would be perfect."

Upon hearing this, Hunter nodded, "If that’s the case, perhaps you can meet with the Hawthorne tomorrow. Evelyn is not getting any younger; it’s time she got married."

"You don’t need to worry about this because of your health; I’ll handle it."

Mrs. Grant replied, serving Hunter a dish.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Hunter smiled, saying no more.

Benjamin listened to their conversation, a faint gleam of light flashing in his lowered eyes.

"But I heard that Mr. Hawke is currently involved with Elara Don, and the two already have two children from four years ago. Aren’t they close to their good news too? Is Evelyn planning to enter the Hawke Family as a stepmother?"

Hunter’s health was poor, and Mrs. Grant managed most of the family’s affairs.

This woman had a mind full of schemes.

Upon hearing Benjamin’s words, both Mrs. Grant and Evelyn’s faces darkened.

"Benjamin, and what do you think your place is, meddling in my affairs?"

Evelyn glared at Benjamin.

Benjamin looked at her, "I’m just giving a kind reminder. But I’m very curious, why was Elara Don arrested all of a sudden? And at this time, Mr. Hawke still has the mood to discuss marriage with you? Elara is, after all, the mother of his two children. If he’s that cold-blooded, would you still want to marry him?"

The series of questions left Evelyn momentarily speechless.

She couldn’t very well admit that they were the ones behind Elara’s troubles!

"Is that true? Evelyn, if that boy from the Hawke Family is truly so heartless and ungrateful, I certainly won’t agree to your marriage to him."

Hunter frowned, speaking up.

"No, Dad, Tom never intended to be with Elara." Evelyn hurriedly responded.

Opposite her, Benjamin countered, "Isn’t that so? I heard Mr. Hawke moved into Elara’s house and never returned home in pursuit of her."

Evelyn choked, glaring at Benjamin as if wanting to tear him apart.

Mrs. Grant similarly gave a cold look, "Benjamin, please understand your position; you’re merely a servant’s son, yet you dare to act like the Miles family’s eldest son, meddling in Evelyn’s marriage?"

Benjamin didn’t speak, only lowering his eyes to hide the light within them.

He had no desire to meddle in their mother and daughter’s affairs.

Over the years, for the sake of family harmony, he had turned a blind eye to some things.

But now, they had framed Elara!

For the sake of Uncle Miles and Elara, he couldn’t ignore it anymore!

"Benjamin, come with me to the study."

Hunter perceived the underlying tension, put down his chopsticks, and stood up, heading to the study.

"Okay."

Benjamin put down his chopsticks and followed him.

"Mom, see Benjamin’s attitude!"

Evelyn watched the two go upstairs, fuming.

Mrs. Grant patted her hand, eyes full of coldness.

"Don’t worry, he can’t make any big waves."

If he dared to ruin her plans, she would certainly make him pay!
