Chapter 1650:

Even now, Brett’s heart raced as he recalled the events of that day.

“I heard the commotion downstairs and realized something had happened to Mr. Lawrence. But moments earlier, he had assured me of his support, inviting me to seek his aid if ever necessary. Why then would he suddenly meet his end by leaping to his death?”

Brett’s initial suspicion centered on the unfamiliar figure he had encountered, whose hurried demeanor seemed incongruous for a staff member.

However, it wasn’t solely this observation that led Brett to suspect foul play in Mr. Lawrence’s demise. Brett also noted that Mr. Lawrence’s computer was still powered on, displaying the distressing video of Nicole being harassed.

Knowing Wesson’s unwavering devotion to Nicole, Brett reasoned that Wesson would never leave such a video accessible if he intended to end his own life.

Instead, Wesson would have taken steps to erase or conceal it, shielding Nicole from further disgrace.

At the time, Brett’s mind was racing with worries. His foremost concern was avoiding any implications should anyone discover his presence.

With his daughter awaiting his return, he couldn’t afford to be caught in a scandal. In a frantic rush, he extracted the USB drive from Wesson’s computer and hastily departed.

Later, consumed by fear, Brett sought refuge in the countryside, unable to muster the courage to attend the funeral. Remaining hidden for several days, Brett cautiously emerged to gather information, only to discover that the newspapers had labeled Wesson’s death a suicide.

Brett knew then that the truth had been concealed.

Playing his part, Brett contacted the woman as instructed, feigning compliance as she praised his efforts and provided him with the overseas surgeon’s contact details. Once the situation calmed down, Brett whisked Callie away for the surgery abroad. After her recovery, he brought her back home.

The foreign terrain during Callie’s treatment proved unsettling for Brett, where the pervasive presence of firearms left him in perpetual fear for his daughter’s safety. Ultimately, he concluded that their homeland offered the greatest security and returned with Callie.

Back home, Brett led a subdued life, running a small business to support his family. He avoided corporate entanglements, fearing that a thorough background check might expose his past.

For five years, Brett savored a peaceful existence, convinced that his past had been buried, until Nicole’s pursuit of the truth shattered his illusion of tranquility.

After hearing his story, Nicole remained silent for a long time. She then retrieved a photo from her phone and showed it to Brett. “Was this the woman who contacted you?”

Brett took the phone and scrutinized the image carefully before confirming, “Yes, that’s her.”

Memories flooded back vividly for Brett. When Jamie had approached him, she had always concealed her identity behind elaborate disguises—masks, hats, and sunglasses.

However, Brett wasn’t easily fooled. He had secretly followed Jamie, catching glimpses of her unmasked from a distance. Since that moment, he had etched her face into his memory, harboring a silent hope that one day the truth would be exposed.

Though Jamie might not have directly caused Wesson’s death, her intent to harm was unmistakable, likely tied to a web of criminal activities.

Today, Nicole finally confronted the truth. Jamie, that venomous woman, had plotted not only against her but also against her father.
