The truth was, Sebastian had been secretly in love with Natalie.
Yvonne had discovered it long ago, but recently, she forced Sebastian to admit it to her.
Yvonne hoped she could help them.
Although Sebastian was introverted and didn't like to socialize, he looked like a good guy and was honest and reliable. Yvonne thought that it might not be a bad thing for Natalie and Sebastian to be together.
In the President's office of YS Group.
"Come in," Tobias' clear voice rang out.
Benjamin walked in.
"Mr. Whitlock," He said respectfully.
Tobias glanced at Benjamin, "How's the investigation going on?"
Benjamin opened his mouth, "Mr. Whitlock, I have found out that Miss Godfrey used to live in a flat. Before Miss Godfrey's father was laid off, their entire family lived there. Their neighbors were staff from the same company as well. Later, their flat was closed down. Everyone eventually moved out. However, I did manage to find someone who used to live there. She's also the same person who brought Miss Godfrey to the hospital back then."
Tobias' eyes flashed with a dim light.
"Bring her in."
Benjamin nodded and walked out of the president's office.
Soon, a woman in her fifties came in a little timidly. She looked like a typical middle-aged woman.
It was probably her first time coming into such a luxurious building, thus she was a little nervous and at a loss, fidgeting constantly.
Benjamin looked at the woman and said softly, "Aunt Lawson, this is our president. Please tell him everything you know."
The middle-aged woman looked up at Tobias, who was in front of her. She was intimidated by his presence, thus she lowered her head immediately.
She thought, "How did that little girl from the Godfrey family get involved with such a powerful man?"
Aunt Lawson started to speak and her tone was a little stiff as she was nervous. "Here's the thing. I used to be a neighbor of Natalie's family. Natalie's mother gave birth to three children. Unfortunately, she always treated Natalie badly. Even we, the neighbors couldn't stand it back then. We often talked about it, but Madison was no pushover. There was no point in us saying anything. She often beat Natalie and deprived her of food. Natalie was so thin at that time, and she was dressed so poorly..."
"Aunt Lawson, please get to the point." Benjamin interrupted the woman's words and reminded her.
With her lengthy speech, she could go on for the whole day.
The woman nodded hurriedly. She gulped and continued, "That day, I was chatting with one of the neighbors. Suddenly, I heard Natalie scream and run out. We didn't know what was going on at first. Later, I saw that the girl was covered with blood. When we pulled off her pants, she was covered in wounds. Some of the blood had even hardened. It was so scary!"
At the mention of what happened many years ago, the old lady still had a lingering bit of fear on her face.
Tobias’ frown grew deeper and deeper.
"Did you manage to find out why?" Tobias opened his mouth.
His tone was low and hoarse.
Aunt Lawson was stunned.
It was the first time that she had heard such a pleasant voice from a man.
However, she was no longer a young woman, and she would not be fazed by his voice. She continued, "I don't know. At first, we all thought it was Madison who did it. After all, she was cruel enough to have done such a thing. However, the police investigated later and said that it was not Madison. That's how the matter ended."
Tobias did not speak, but his gaze was deep.
The woman didn't add on much to the story; she basically said what Natalie had provided.
Simon had told Tobias that when he hypnotized Natalie, he uncovered a hidden memory of hers where she was surrounded by a group of men as a child. Tobias felt that that must somehow be connected to all the scars on her hips.
Natalie had once said that she didn't know where the wounds on her hips came from. She only remembered that she had always had them. It was likely that she erased the memory of how she got them in the first place.
But now, he could not find those men, because they only existed in Natalie's memory that had been sealed away. Without any information, he could not take any action. He did not want to risk asking Natalie to recall the matter either.
