Chapter 478 Chapter 478: Throughout the day, Wilton and Belen joined Harlee intermittently.
Their discussions about the archaeological texts were vibrant and insightful, sparking a regretful wish in all three that their paths hadnt crossed much sooner.
However, Wilton and Belen stayed in the secluded study on the second floor, where the investigation into their daughters actions demanded their attention.
With each urgent update relayed by their assistant, Wilton and Belen were struck anew with disbelief.
The revelation that their daughter had evolved into a narcissistic, ruthless individual who trivialized others lives was devastating.
In the solemnity of the study, Wilton commanded the room from his imposing main seat.

Morgan, shall we move forward with the investigation? Met with Wiltons stony silence and Belens brooding figure on the sofa, the assistant held back further questions, standing motionless in silent anticipation.
Abruptly, the tense silence was cleaved by the sharp crack of Wiltons hand thundering against the wood of the table, a startling explosion of frustration that made the assistant recoil and tense up.
It was a palpable reminder of the stakes at hand.
Wiltons voice was cold and biting as he commanded, Keep digging.
Uncover everything.
Lets see just how far shell go in her disgrace.
Sweat beaded on the assistants brow as he hastily replied before he could think, Absolutely! Stay updated with gvlnove????sThis assistant was not employed by the Morgan Group.
Instead, he was a personal aide to Wilton, not acquainted with Lindsay and thus had no motive to conceal anything.
The assistant had extensively probed into Lindsays dealings, particularly her attempt to engage a hitman from the underworld to eliminate Harlee.
Yet, he hadnt uncovered why the hitman had delayed and seemingly played Lindsay along, so he chose not to disclose those details just yet.
Having served Wilton for many years, this was the first instance the assistant had witnessed such rage in Wilton. The assistant realized that keeping any secrets about Lindsay would cost him his position.
With a polite nod, he exited the study and hurried out of the Morgan estate to further investigate Lindsays wrongdoings.
Once the assistant departed, only Wilton and Belen remained in the room.

Its not too late.
Theres still a chance to discipline Lindsay.
Belens faith in Lindsay crumbled after learning of her schemes.
I hope so... she murmured, massaging her temples in dismay.
Honey, do you think we erred in deciding to keep the child back then? Decades prior, Belen and Wilton had planned to terminate the pregnancy, but Wiltons father had intervened, persuading them to keep the child and assuring them hed ensure the child would be well-raised.
But now... Wilton found himself at a loss for words, unable to offerahy comfort. Instead, he wrapped his arms around Belen, enveloping her in a silent embrace.
They leaned on each other, finding solace in their mutual presence.
Tseemed to stretch on until Belen lifted her head, a spark of an idea igniting in her gaze.
