Chapter 27: Investigate his background
“No, I can be pretty sure they didn’t know each other before this, and little sister herself said that she was just mad and hit with her eyes closed, and that kid was like a beggar, but by the way, he was the first man that little sister hit after she closed her eyes, so …… “Kevin closed his eyes, struggling in his heart, he really regretted, if he had come back a few hours earlier, there would not have been such a thing happened.
“Your sister …… Kevin, with all due respect, your sister, will she be too stimulated, here ……,” Jay hinted, pointing his finger at his head.
“That to not so much, she is just too disappointed in men, mad with anger, so she will make such a big mistake, this is not, now she will regret it to her death, but do not dare to go to see the man, i made sure she had to be by me, as a brother I had to step in.”
Kevin made a very torn, very conflicted expression said.
“Impulsiveness is the devil, this also gives me a headache, you will not be because of this matter rushed back to the country, right?” Jay couldn’t help but shake his head and couldn’t help but sympathize with Kevin.
“I came back to attend my sister’s wedding, but I came back a little late, and it turned out to be such a big deal.” Kevin let out a long sigh.
“So what are you guys going to do now? The marriage license are received, if you really want to solve, unless the divorce, in case the man took advantage of the opportunity to extort …… “Jay looked at Kevin, this problem is really tricky, he is really not sure.
“Yes, so I want to ask you to negotiate on my behalf, you are not a family member, the other side is not so much to ask for a price, as long as it is within a reasonable range, we can accept it.” Kevin nodded his head and filled his friend’s wine and said.
“And what is your reasonable range?” Jay asked after a moment’s hesitation.
“One million, no more than one million at the most, and if he will agree to do the divorce immediately.” Kevin said with a little thought.
“One million, you are very generous, but there are two kinds of situations, one is that this man is quick to say yes, and the second ……”
“I will not allow the second to happen, my little sister must not marry that kind of person.” Kevin interrupted his friend’s words and said in an unmistakable tone of determination.
“If that’s the case, I suggest you investigate clearly first, his bottom line, so that when negotiating, also more than one bargaining chip, otherwise just find the door, we are very passive.” Jay reminded.
“You mean to find a private detective? Domestic private detective thats reliable?” Kevin smiled and frowned.
To be honest, if in foreign countries, he is sure to find a private detective to solve it, but this is domestic, private detectives may or may not have that ability, it is difficult to say.
“Don’t worry, I know a good private detective, he should be able to handle it, why don’t I call him now and ask him to come out, and you talk to him?” Jay suggested.
“If he is willing to come, of course, the most important thing is the ability.” Kevin nodded his head, but did not forget to emphasize.
“Don’t worry about this, if we can’t do a good job, we can’t pay him either, right? I’ll call first.” Jay said with a smile.
While waiting for someone, the two talked some more, but unfortunately Kevin does not know much about Fred Garner, only that he is staying at the hotel at this time, for the rest he knows nothing.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
After the private detective came, a few people talked about some details, the other party promised to give Kevin the exact news in two days.
In the evening, a few people had dinner, and went to the bar, until very late getting back, Kevin came home to see Mom and Dad still sitting in the living room, and knew that Elena must have not eaten dinner again.
“Dad, Mom, it’s late, go to bed, I’ll take care of Elena’s business.” Kevin reassured Mom and Dad.
“Kevin, have you taken care of it?” Rebecca said urgently.
“No, but I have a solution, soon, two or three days to deal with it, so let’s hold on for two more days, I’ll go get Elena something to eat, you guys rest first.” Kevin said and went into the kitchen.
“Kevin, I have served it several times, but Elena refused to eat, the food has been heated several times, why don’t you let Elena out, she really wants to see the boy, let her see him, they have no feelings for each other, I think she is just a momentary vomit, after two days maybe it will fade?” Rebecca followed up in the kitchen and advised her son.
“Mom, this matter, you and Dad do not worry about it, Elena is my sister, I will definitely deal with it, I will not let her suffer any harm, I will go to persuade her later.” Kevin looked annoyed and said.
In fact, he blamed his mother somewhat in his heart, if it wasn’t for her repeatedly forcing the marriage, how could this happen, if it wasn’t for her not allowing Elena to leave the country back then, not to mention what happened today, it’s really a bit late to worry about it now.
“Well, Kevin, don’t hurt Elena, no matter what, she is your sister, persuade her well, since she grew up, she has been listening to you, you talk to her well, she will definitely listen.” Rebecca looked at her son with some weakness, she was already blaming herself for what had happened, now, she was truly taking Elena as her own daughter.
Kevin stood outside the study, hesitating a bit, not knowing how to convince Elena. he stood outside the door for about ten minutes before knocking and saying, “Elena, can I come in?”
He knew it was a bit redundant, Elena must not want to see him, so without waiting for Elena’s response, he pushed the door open a crack, the study was dark and silent as if no one was there.
“Elena, can you hear a word from your brother?” Kevin pressed the switch and at once drove away the darkness in the room, and Elena Costa, curled up in the corner of the bookcase and the wall, with her hands on her knees and her head in them, looked so tender like a small, hurt animal.
“Are you still my brother? Are you still the same brother who loves me?” She slowly raised her head, the first thing she saw was the black shiny leather shoes, looking at these big feet, but his chest hurt.
Brother is no longer a brother, he no longer loves her, he only wants to tear her and Fred apart, she does not want that, suddenly, relatives are no longer relatives, now, the only one who can make her feel safe is Fred, since this is not her home, she also does not want to stay here.
“Elena, except this matter, anything brother will help you, marriage is not a child’s play, you impulsively give yourself to a stranger like this, too irresponsible for yourself, you calm down, think about it, if you really like him, you can slowly get along, brother promised you, you can follow the normal progress, you can fall in love first, slowly develop feelings, and then ……”
“Brother, is it true what you said? You don’t stop us anymore?” Elena was surprised and looked up at Kevin with disbelief.
“If he really loves and cares about you, brother promises not to stop, but you can’t be together now, you have to follow the normal schedule, if you can promise me and promise to do that, I won’t stop you and you can go see him tomorrow.” Kevin was a little helpless, he knew Elena’s personality and just had to step back and say.
“Good, as long as my brother keeps his word, I can do it.” Elena said joyfully, as long as her brother was willing to give in, anything was negotiable as long as she could see Fred.
“Sure, but you have to promise your brother that you will freshen up, eat and sleep well first.” Kevin coaxed.
He decided he could hold Elena steady for now, until the information came through from the detective agency.
“Okay, then we high five.” Elena broke into tears and smiled, her brother had never lied to her since she was a child, and I’m sure he won’t this time either.
After the high five, Kevin pulled Elena up and finally led her out of the study. Elena was really obedient, first freshening up and then going downstairs to eat.
She wanted to go to Fred immediately, but just as she opened her mouth, Kevin blocked her words.
“Elena, you’re not going to meet him like this, right? Look at your eyes, they’re red and swollen, they’ll probably scare people when you see them.
“Okay, I believe in brother, then I will go to sleep first, brother, where is my phone.” Elena, although she desperately wanted to go to the hotel to find Fred, but her brother had a point, so she nodded her head and agreed.
“I didn’t see the phone that day, it’s probably at the hotel, let’s go get it tomorrow, you hurry up and get some sleep, these two days, you’ve pined away a lot.” Kevin advised.
“Yes, Elena, go to sleep, these two days made your father heartbroken, mommy figured it out, you will not be forced to marry, as long as you like, you can get married when you want, mommy will not force you to date again, regardless of the man good or bad, he must be your own choice, we as parents only provide reference advice.” Rebecca, after knowing that Elena was not her husband’s illegitimate child, had her heart untied, and was now like an enlightened and loving mother.
“Thank you mom, thank you dad, whether I marry someone or not, you are my mom and dad, you are my closest people.” Elena looked at her mommy with emotion, she didn’t resent her mommy, she had been a little harsh to her over the years, but not very bad.
“Mommy knew you were a good girl, Mommy is really touched, in this life, a very good husband, a pair of children, I am very content.” Rebecca said and actually cried.
“Mom, it’s late, let’s all go to sleep. I’m sorry,” Kevin said when he saw that Elena was crying again because of her mommy.
After ‘escorting’ mommy and Elena to their respective rooms, Kevin also went back to his room, but of course, the first call was to the detective agency, he wanted to talk to Fred Garner as soon as possible.
Since Elena couldn’t be convinced, Fred Garner had to do it, and as long as he was willing to file for divorce, everything was negotiable.
The next morning, Kevin left the house before Elena got up, and explained to his family that Elena was not allowed to leave the house until he returned.
He hurried to the private detective agency.
“Mr. Kevin, we’ve got the information you asked for, and there’s good news for you.” Originally with this information we are able to open a high price again, but because it is a friend introduced, the detective agency did not mention, Kevin took the information, the more you look at the more tightly wrinkled eyebrows.
