When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 508: About That Car Accident
The scene at that time was—
Caleb Lancaster, the CEO of Prestige Group, arranged to meet with a client at a clubhouse to discuss a project collaboration.
Because Gale Peterson’s elderly mother suddenly fell gravely ill, he had taken leave the previous day.
When the car accident occurred, Caleb was the only person in the car.
Seeing this, Faye Turner did not hurry to continue reading; she focused on the name Gale Peterson, marking it lightly with a highlighter.
A lingering voice in her mind: Is there really such a coincidence?
What kind of person is this Gale Peterson usually?
How many years has he been driving for Mr. Lancaster?
On the very day he was absent, Mr. Lancaster drove the car alone, and not long after, the brakes failed, causing a collision with a large truck that suddenly rushed out at the intersection.
The file contained two pages of photographs from the accident scene; Dustin Shepherd was meticulous in his work, even providing color copies of the photos for her.
The devastation could only be described as shocking—a Cullinan with its front completely smashed.
According to the description, the traffic police and ambulance arrived within ten minutes.
However, rescuing Mr. Lancaster stuck in the driver’s seat required firefighters and took a full hour...
During the rescue, Mr. Lancaster remained unconscious due to severe blood loss.
Faye Turner meticulously read through the case file, about the incident of the car accident and the weather at the time; she didn’t overlook anything.
She paid attention to all the details mentioned.
Half an hour after Mr. Lancaster was sent to the hospital, heavy rain began to pour down. Her womanly intuition told her that this was no coincidence either.
The occurrence of the accident seemed to be timed with the weather.
Because many traces could be washed away by the rain.
Even if the rain didn’t completely wash away the evidence, it prevented the police from examining the scene promptly, which was enough time for someone with intent to tamper with traces.
Anyway, the more Faye Turner thought along these lines, the more suspicious she found this accident.
"Gale Peterson..."
She murmured the name, not knowing where this person was now, but decided to start with him.
Thus, she immediately sent a message to Dustin Shepherd.
Soon after, the tightly closed lounge door was knocked on; Faye Turner looked up at the sound and saw Dustin Shepherd enter.
He closed the door and walked toward her, "What’s the matter? Any instructions?"
"Do you know who Gale Peterson is? Have you heard of this person?" Faye Turner asked him, "Is he still in the company? He was a driver for Adrian’s father about 20 years ago."
"No," Dustin Shepherd shook his head with certainty, "I’m familiar with all the drivers’ lists; their monthly salaries pass through my hands, and there’s no such person."
"That’s peculiar..." she fell into thought.
"What’s wrong?"
"Logically, he was a driver hired by Prestige Group; the car accident involving Mr. Lancaster has nothing to do with him, so why was he dismissed after the accident? The dismissal written here is very brief."
Faye Turner asked him, "Can you find out when he left the company? Why did he leave?"
"The system can locate that," Dustin Shepherd asked her, "Should I go now?"
"Yes, send me photos of what you find; the more detailed the information about Gale Peterson, the better," Faye Turner told him, "I’ll be waiting for your news."
"Okay, I’ll go check now," Dustin Shepherd turned and left.
Then Faye Turner didn’t idle; she continued reviewing related materials about Mr. Lancaster’s condition.
The attending physician also suddenly resigned??
This information baffled Faye Turner greatly!
She couldn’t understand why—a doctor, a department head—why would they resign? Especially with such a stable job, at an age with seniors and children to care for.
