Chapter 117
I was not only afraid that Clarissa’s existence was real, but I was also afraid of the so–called “first love” that York mentioned.
I shouldn’t have listened to York’s evaluation of Quinn’s relationship with the Terell sisters. If it was just a rumor that York heard from somewhere, it would probably cause a rift between me and Quinn.
“What are you thinking about? It’s getting late. Rest early Quinn could tell that I was uneasy.
He thought that I was still worried about Mary’s death, so he comforted me, “No matter if you’re worried about Mary’s funeral or York’s hostile, relationship with me, I’ll handle it. You just have to trust me.”
1 grunted and went to bed. The next day, Raelynn called me.
She had just recovered and had returned to work at the Madden Group. When she heard that Mary had passed away, she called to express her condolences.
1 chatted with Raelynn for a while. When I was about to hang up took the initiative to say, “Raelynn, there’s something I need you to do for me.
“Ms. Hinton, what do you need me to do?” Raelynn asked.
“Contact a private investigator for me. I want to check on someone,” I said.
Although Raelynn was surprised, she quickly agreed. After all, her job often involved investigating covert clients and even competitors, so this request was not unusual for her.
“Alright, who do you want to investigate? Do you have any basic information? Raelynn asked.
“I know that her name is Clarrisa. Other than the name, I told Raelynn all the details I knew. For example, the fact that Clarrisa and Diana were twins. Of course, York was the one who told me this. I was not sure whether it was true or not.
After hanging up the phone, my heart was in a mess. I was looking forward to the results of the investigation as soon as possible, but I was also afraid of facing such an outcome.
I accompanied Benedict at home. His flu symptoms had improved a lot. He no longer had a runny nose last night. After a day of companionship and care, he had obviously improved a little.
Raelynn was very efficient. That night, I received an email from the detective in my mailbox. Raelynn copied the email and sent it to me. She even added a password to the document in the annex for security purposes.
Quinn was playing puzzles with Benedict. I avoided them and checked my email on my phone while I was in the bathroom. After downloading the email attachment and opening it successfully, I saw the basic information related to Clarrisa.
What greeted my eyes was a face that looked very similar to Diana’s Just by looking at the photo, one would think that they were twins, but if one looked closely, one would find that Clarris was more pure and beautiful.
The corners of her eyes were a little sharper than Diana’s. When the smiled, her eyes were curved like the moon and her

The private investigator could only rely on the “Diana’s sister” clue that I had provided. The relevant information was very limited.
Just as York said, Clarrisa was Diana’s twin sister, but she had congenital heart disease.
The documents included a diagnosis certificate for her condition, which explained why Clarissa had not attended school and seemed to have been raised in her hometown by her mother Julia

I knew very well that Julia as the Madden family’s nanny, had no time to take care of her sick daughter at all, so Clarrisa’s social information was almost zero. She had no school enrollment records, no social circle, and no such affiliations.
The most recent update was that five years ago, Clarissa was sent abroad for medical treatment, and since then, there had been no news of her.
In other words, Diana did have a twin sister named Clarrisa. But why did York say that the woman Quinn liked was Clarrisa! What information was hidden?
If Clarrisa was raised in the countryside, how did Quinn know Clarrisa? Was Quinn the one who sent Clarrisa abroad for treatment five years ago?
Judging from the timeline, I didn’t think Julia could send her daughter with congenital heart disease abroad back then.
It was hard to understand. I didn’t know if York’s information was true. Did I have to panic because of a few words from him?
Without conclusive evidence, I persuaded myself to believe Quin. I deleted all the information in the email and left the bathroom as if nothing had happened.
For the next two days, I stayed at home with Benedict and waited for him to completely recover before returning to normal work.
When I returned to the company that day, both Raelynn and Gemma came to express their concern.
Raelynn smiled at me and said, “I’ll treat you to delicious food after work. It’s your favorite restaurant. It’s mostly sweet. I booked it a week in advance. This restaurant is famous for being hard to book.”
Hearing her say that, I knew which restaurant it was.
Raelynn and I looked at each other and smiled. We said to Gemma in unison, “Of course. The three of us will go over after work and have a big meal!”
The three of us agreed happily and went back to work.
These days, because of Mary’s death and Benedict’s illness, I had accumulated a lot of work. It wasn’t until five–thirty in the afternoon that I finally pulled myself out of the high–pressure working state of the day.
“I need to have a big feast soon; I must recharge with delicious food. My energy is seriously depleted,” Gemma complained to me earnestly,
