Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 567

Ethan had been very busy these days. Seeing him go out so early and come back so late every day, Janet started to wonder what he was up to exactly.

Ethan was indeed very busy, but he didn't tell Janet why right away.

When he found the evidence that Janet was poisoned, he hired the best private detective in Seacisco.

"What? A twenty-year-old case? The streets have been torn down and rebuilt and houses have been demolished and reconstructed; the world has changed a lot. This is going to be complicated, to say the least." This private detective used to be a journalist for Seaciscso's famous Gossip Weekly. He was well-informed and resourceful.

"Be that as it may, I believe in you." Ethan pulled out a newspaper from that year and slid it across the table. "I want the information of everyone who had had contact with this woman and Elissa Lester."

He had to dig deeper into the death of his mother. This had to be a lead.

Time passed. It took the detective a lot of effort and resources to find the people related to the case Ethan brought up.

Most of the witnesses had either aged or died over the years, while the rest had moved away. However, there was still a glimmer of hope. Most of the people who had had contact with Elissa still lived in Seacisco. They relied on the Lester family to make a living.

Everyone covered up for Elissa, trying hard to conceal the truth. It probably never crossed their mind that Sylvia's death would be investigated again after twenty years.

The detective gathered all the information he could find and passed it on to Ethan, who then found the man who had sold Elissa the poison.

Now that the evidence was stacked up against Elissa, Ethan sued her under two charges: murder and attempted murder. Afraid that things might go awry, he put the best lawyers of the Larson Group in charge of the case. The indictment instantly became a sensation. Two major cases, the poisoning of Janet and the death of Sylvia, was enough to draw in the attention of the public.
