No one knew how many smokes Bernard had gone through before he finally took out his phone and dialed a number.
Upon receiving Mr. Law's call, Caleb swiftly sought out a location free of surveillance cameras, eager to respond.
" I am still investigating the reason behind Robin's pursuit of Emilia. However, I have gained Katharine's trust recently, and I believe I will soon acquire the necessary information," Caleb reported, taking the initiative without waiting for Mr. Law's inquiry.
It felt somewhat unjust that Caleb had to make personal sacrifices to gain Katharine's trust. He could already envision Robin's fury if he discovered Caleb's connection with his sister.
Nonetheless, Caleb remained undeterred. He was unafraid of the consequences. If push came to shove, he would simply marry her. After all, he was still single.
Bernard got even more irritated thinking about Robin. But he controlled his emotions and said calmly:
"I called you to ask about something else."
"What's that?"
"Did you find anything suspicious when you were looking into the cause of my brother's death?"
Caleb thought back to the clues he had found before and frowned.
"When I first looked into it, I asked you if your brother had an autopsy. You said no, and I suspected something was wrong. So, I did a few more investigations on my own, hoping to present you with the evidence when I have everything. But since you've asked, I’ll tell you now.
"The hospital said your brother died from a brain disease, but I found that the medication he was taking before he died had been switched. I haven't figured out what it was replaced with yet."
Bernard's face immediately turned serious. It seemed Beck wasn't lying, then who could've killed his brother?
Suddenly, a sharp female voice came from Caleb's end: "Caleb, what the hell are you doing hiding in the stable in broad daylight?!"
Caleb was startled and quickly covered his phone, whispering, " I have to deal with that fiery woman."
Bernard grunted in response, hung up the phone, and looked up to see a woman in light clothing standing quietly by his side.
