A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 326

The moment the idea hit him, everything that followed became downright harrowing.

"Mr. Boyd, you've made more than a few enemies in the business world, so at first, I thought maybe it was one of our competitors playing mind games. But look, this mystery person's actions are targeted directly at Ella, even going so far as to say 'what goes around, comes around'. This shows that their grudge is with Ella."

Carl had a lot to say, "So, if we remove ourselves from the equation, if they wanted revenge on Ella, they could've just taken her out in some deserted place. Why go through all the trouble of tormenting her like this, and then leaving her barely alive on your doorstep?"

Yvan's mind was racing, quickly dismissing all the possible scenarios one by one, until only one remained...

"It means, their issue with Ella, it's linked to you. Even that phrase 'what goes around, comes around', it's a clue meant for you. You're not an outsider; you're right in the middle of it."

He wasn't an outsider; he was a key player.

What on earth could it be, that made this mystery person despise Ella and yet, deliberately lead him to uncover the truth?

"It's your connection to Ella, through Rachel. After Rachel passed, you took it upon yourself to look after Ella. So, if we exclude Rachel, there's nothing tying you and Ella together. But if we think about Rachel, the most significant event that comes to mind is something from five years ago..."

Carl's voice dropped to a whisper, almost eerie, "Mr. Boyd... someone's pulling strings, making you revisit something from five years back."

That statement hit Yvan like a bolt of lightning!

So... was there a miscarriage of justice five years ago?

This enigmatic figure, guiding Yvan, what truth were they aiming for him to uncover?

And what about Matilda? The Matilda he had locked away five years ago? If the dust had settled on that incident, why was someone so desperate to dredge up the past?

Yvan was afraid to think further.
