Chapter 1157: Chapter 1149: Continuing the Hunt for the Culprit 5

"I was just at my brother’s place, and he said that someone is trying to harm you."

Isaac Ford’s eyes were as gloomy as a gathering storm, and his tone was extremely cold and hard.

With him around, he wouldn’t let them fall into such peril again.

This was not a trivial matter, happening over and over.

"I’ve investigated; every time we barely find a clue, it turns out to be a whole new story, not much related to what I thought, and then the clue breaks again. I know someone is doing this on purpose, using them, yet I can’t find the real mastermind."

Tiana Thorne used many methods, but the opponent was also very cunning, not a simple enemy.

The widow knows Whitney Lynch, which is the only clue connected to them, but the widow claims she wants revenge on Lynch because of a debt she owed her.

The trail stops here.

It seems like it’s just a personal act of revenge.

Tiana began to wonder if someone deliberately guided things to focus on a deceased person.

She believes there’s a mastermind behind the scenes, but those who are hostile to her and wish to bring her down are only a few people.

Having been out of touch for a long time without conflict, trying to kill her seemed like an overreaction.

Even if they don’t like her, there’s no need to drag Aiden Shaw into this.

Anyone who would want to harm even Aiden must be their common enemy.

"Could we have overlooked someone or a clue?" Isaac speculated.

Tiana paced back and forth, unable to find a breakthrough: "I can’t think of anything right now, it could be something I’ve forgotten, or simply something beyond my assumptions that requires time to unravel."

Isaac glanced at Aiden Shaw and observed him for a long while.

He slept very peacefully, apart from the severe wound on his leg, he seemed unaffected otherwise.

He trusted the doctors could heal Aiden Shaw but worried about someone sabotaging and making the condition worse.

"Sister, you’re not hurt, are you?" Isaac’s gaze swept over her, fearing he might have overlooked something.

However, she seemed well, with a rosy complexion and features like a painting, apparently uninjured.

Tiana shook her head: "I’m fine, Fourth Brother protected me very well."

In every dangerous situation for her, Aiden Shaw braved all difficulties to shield her.

How could she dare to get hurt so easily?

Isaac reached out to stroke Tiana’s cheek, noticing that she had lost some weight, her chin sharp and thin, and he felt worried, though his tone was affectionate with a hint of heartache: "Your face is thinner; it pains your brother to see."

Tiana rubbed against his hand, resting her cheek in his palm, and laughed softly, "Once Fourth Brother recovers, I can regain it, no need for you to worry about me, Sixth Brother."

After all, as his own sister, she would always make her brother worry.

Isaac sighed, holding her in his arms like a precious treasure, fearful of dropping her, while cherishing her dearly, gently patting her twice: "It’s still my fault for not noticing you were having difficulties. If I had known earlier, this wouldn’t be the situation now."

"This has nothing to do with Sixth Brother; why blame yourself."

Isaac said, "When my precious encounters trouble and her brother doesn’t resolve it in time, isn’t it the brother’s responsibility?"

"Then I’m at fault for hiding it, not saying anything and running abroad to find the truth, causing so much trouble and even involving Fourth Brother."

Unable to argue with Tiana, Isaac could only give up: "Fine, Brother won’t blame himself. Fourth Brother has faced all kinds of storms; this little matter won’t defeat him or Sixth Brother."
