You, Me and Our Genius Twins

Chapter 599 She Is the Boss

"You can't judge a book by its cover!" Leigh spoke with the wisdom of experience. "The most challenging thing to comprehend in this world is the human heart. Throughout history, countless heroes and power brokers have been betrayed by the people they trusted the most. Do you think your judgment is better than theirs?"

At this moment, Madeline intervened. "Since you believe that your stepfather, mother, and Zoe wouldn't harm you, do you have any conflicts or disputes with others, particularly regarding interests?"

"Um... I don't think so." Riley racked her brain but couldn't remember anything.

She was a homebody who rarely leaves her house. Apart from two or three childhood friends, everyone else she knew was from the internet, communicating through anonymous accounts in online groups. Even if there were people in those groups who disliked her, they didn't know her real name or where she lived, so how could they harm her?

"If you can't recall any other people, then your stepfather, mother, and Zoe remain the prime suspects," Madeline said gently. "Don't worry; this is how our firm handles such cases. We start by investigating the most likely suspects. After ruling them out, we broaden our search. Perhaps you're right, but since you've sought our help, please respect our investigative methods. What do you think, Riley?"

Riley couldn't respond to this.

What do I think? Wasn't I here for a medical check-up? Why did it suddenly involve a law office and a case?

She felt confused again and looked at Derek for guidance.

Derek certainly knew that Madeline was the owner of Oasis Law Office, and Leigh worked there. He had come to see Leigh for his sister's medical examination. However, Madeline seemed to believe that

his sister's condition was not simply an illness but a deliberate harm caused by someone.

Perhaps it is… a professional habit? Madeline is just treating Riley's situation like a case for her law firm. That's fine, too.

He was out of options anyway. No matter what methods Madeline and Leigh used, as long as they could help his sister recover her face, he would be immensely grateful!

"Okay, let's follow Madeline's and Dr. Shefford's train of thought." Derek looked at them and said, "What should we do next?"

"Wait a moment." Leigh turned and went into the study room.

She quickly returned with a transparent plastic bag containing several test tubes inside. Then, she handed the test tubes to Madeline, saying, "Madeline, see who's available and ask them to come over."

She was injured, while Madeline had a cold, so neither of them was in a condition to go out. It didn't matter, though, for their law office had other people.

Madeline understood her intention. She sent a message to their work group, mentioning all members. 'Work alert! Who's available?'

Soon, Edmund, Martin, Madison, and Rowan responded one after another.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
