Zachary asked.
“We need to deliver some poultry to my sister, so we should leave now.”
Her sister might be asleep if they went too late. The last thing they wanted was to wake Liberty up.
Serenity closed the shop and got into Zachary’s car while the bodyguards took her car back.
During the ride, she asked Zachary, “Any news on the kidnapping at the zoo? Was it not the Newmans?”
Zachary took a moment in silence before answering, “The only thing confirmed is that Mr. Newman wasn’t in on it.”
“If it wasn’t him, was it Mrs. Newman?” He mentioned nothing about Mrs. Newman.
“Josh is still investigating. Nothing is concrete for now, but we have our eyes on Mrs. Newman.” Zachary had believed the prime target was him right from the start.
After a series of investigations though, he realized that the mastermind was after Serenity, not him.
Since Mrs. Newman and her daughter had a grudge against Serenity, they zeroed in on Mrs. Newman.
“Mr. Newman and his wife seem to have a lot of secrets, but they’re cautious and careful not to leave any dirt behind. The couple even piqued Julian’s interest.”
Julian was interested in cases that were tough to crack. Now that his attention was caught, Julian would handle the investigation himself.
“Maybe we’ll get something on the couple if we get help from Ms. Camryn.”
With Camryn’s disinterested personality, Serenity voiced her concern, “How can she help if she can’t see? No matter what, Mrs. Newman is her mother.”
Camryn and Mrs. Newman did not get along, but it would not change the fact that Mrs. Newman was her mother.
