Chapter 13

"Assistant Eric, please look up all the information about this Star Kindergarten for me immediately." After the incident at the kindergarten, Leonard was even more determined to buy this kindergarten.

Ten minutes later, the assistant brought the information about the kindergarten to Leonard.

Founder: Hatice Tsviliov graduated from the music academy, wasn't that the school that Tawny attended? Leonard's eyebrows furrowed, his black eyes quickly scanned the lines, and his heart slowly lifted. Because he saw Hatice's documents introducing Tawny and her as good classmates. In the past five years, he had searched for who knows how long, but except for the person who was in prison, who was Tawny's father, he couldn't find anyone else related to her. He knew that she might not have died because all the hospitals in this city didn't record her death, but he searched everywhere but couldn't find her.

"Assistant Eric, please help me call Star Kindergarten. I want to find Hatice."

A moment later.

"Hello, I'm Hatice. How can I help you?"

"I'm Leonard, I want to see you." Leonard went straight to the point.

"You again, what do you want? I told you I won't sell this kindergarten to you."

"Tawny Matthews. I want to know about Tawny Matthews." Leonard tried to calm down, speaking slowly, word by word. "Miss Hatice, I know you're good friends with Tawny."

"Who exactly are you?" Hatice asked cautiously, this was the first time in five years that someone had asked her this question, but he was just a stranger.

"I'm… I'm her ex-husband."

The other end of the line suddenly went silent, as if signaling an approaching storm.

"So you're that bastard?" Hatice tried to calm down but she found herself unable to control herself.

"Miss Hatice, I don't have time to listen to you scolding me right now. Come see me now."

"I don't want to see you, your face is disgusting."

Hatice threw the phone away fiercely. She would never forget that five years ago on the night of Tawny's seventeenth birthday, they meticulously prepared a birthday party for her but they lost her and the party ended without any joy or celebration. A few days later, news came that she was divorced from the heir of the Roberts Group and then got into a car accident, from which she never saw her again. For Hatice, whether Tawny lived or died, her position in her heart would never change.

Tawny's father was still in prison, and she would occasionally visit him, he was very pitiful, every time he asked about Tawny but every time she didn't know how to answer. Tawny's brother, Shanley Matthews also didn't know where he was since their family went bankrupt, there was no news, and their family's bankruptcy in just one night had shocked society.

The phone rang again, and Leonard called again. "Miss Hatice, I hope you won't act on impulse."

"Mr. Leonard, you divorced her in the middle of her family's bankruptcy? How cruel. Do you expect me to come to see you?" Hatice asked through gritted teeth.

"Miss Hatice, I know clearly that what I did five years ago was wrong, so I will try my best to make up for it, so please give me a chance."

"Makeup? What do you mean by make-up? She's dead." Hatice finally couldn't hold back her tears and cried, Leonard on the other end of the line was also silent. Although he thought Tawny might not die, with such a vast sea of ​​people, if he couldn't find her, wouldn't want to make it up to her be an illusion?

Leonard put down the phone and fell back into his chair. Five years ago, in a moment of insanity, He created the current untenable situation. The Matthews family from top to bottom either lost their positions or died. That year, the reason for the collapse of the Matthews Group was kept secret. In recent years, for some peace of mind, he had also tried to investigate the Matthews Group, so the problem of someone doing something was real, but there was no clue whether the car accident and Tawny's disappearance were related to this.

Thinking so, he walked out of the office and drove to Star Kindergarten to find Hatice.

"Miss Hatice, I'm outside the kindergarten, you go out for a bit." Leonard's voice slowed down.

"Leonard, you're thick-skinned."

"I've said it before, if you still consider yourself Tawny's good friend, then come see me. I have something very important to ask you."

Ten minutes later, Hatice appeared in front of Leonard. Wearing a simple business suit, long, soft hair, and a pair of big glasses, Leonard couldn't see her expression.

"Hatice?"

Hatice didn't say anything but slapped Leonard hard. "This slap is me slapping you on behalf of Tawny."

Leonard's expression didn't change, but he was extremely angry. After so many years, this was the first time he had been hit by a woman.

"Have you hit me enough? If you hit me, get in the car." Leonard suppressed his desire to hit this woman. He gently pushed the door open. Hatice glared at him before getting into the car.

Five minutes later, they arrived at a nearby luxury cafe.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly, I have a lot of work to do." Hatice was extremely annoyed, treating this kind of person without any courtesy.

"Okay, I'll get straight to the point. May I ask where Tawny is now?"

"Leonard, you're heartless. At first, when she died tragically in the Northwest, the news was known to the whole country, and now you still want to ask me about her whereabouts." Hatice was very agitated.

"But did you personally witness her death?" Leonard's expression remained unchanged as he asked, "I've investigated all the hospitals in this city, but there's no record of her being hospitalized and dying. How can this be explained?"

"Leonard, what's the point of letting me talk to you? At first, you divorced her, what's the point of asking this? Regardless of whether it's the hospital owner or…." Hatice suddenly stopped talking because this matter didn't make much sense, although at that time Tawny had nothing to prove her identity, but if she died, no matter how busy the police were, they would have notified her relatives to come and claim her body. Could it be that Tawny was still alive but just being hidden by others? But what motive did they have?

"Why can't you continue?" Leonard took a sip of coffee. "Don't you feel that this story is a bit unreasonable? When I first heard about the car accident, I rushed over immediately. At that time, Tawny was in the best hospital, but the rescuers said that she was seriously injured and had been taken away. Don't you find this very strange? At that time, the Matthews family was in such chaos, who would come to pick her up?"
