NovelEndChapter 1347: As he finished, Johnson turned to look at Belinda.
Her face had gone ashen.
Johnson and Catherine exchanged worried glances.

Lucas' face remained composed as he spoke. "The investigation revealed that Timothy vanished for a stretch of time. During that period, there was no trace of him. He only reappeared over a year later. What's intriguing is that his disappearance coincided precisely with Lamont's death." Lucas' words left the other three in stunned silence.
Their expressions hardened, brows knitting as they mentally pieced together the puzzle.
A few seconds later, Lucas continued, "Then there's the matter of Timothy's son. Before Lamont's death, Timothy and his wife had already parted ways. Yet, over a year later, Timothy suddenly had a two-year-old boy in his care. My team uncovered that, roughly a week before Lamont died, his ex-girlfriend showed up out of nowhere and left a child with him, claiming it was his. So, more than a year after Lamont's death, Timothy took in Lamont's son, raising him as his own. Timothy never remarried, devoting himself entirely to the boy, never building a new family." He let out a dry scoff. "Quite the saint, isn't he?" The sarcasm in his tone was unmistakable.
The others instantly grasped the implication of his words.
Johnson spoke first, his voice sharp. "So, you're saying Timothy is actually Lamont? The real Timothy died in that house fire years ago. Lamont orchestrated an identity switch, taking Timothy's place and letting Timothy die in his stead. Afterward, Lamont lived on as Timothy." The more Johnson spoke, the darker his expression grew. "As for that year he went missing, he was likely undergoing plastic surgery to pass as Timothy." Your next journey starts at gVlnovls.o Belinda's and Catherine's faces paled, their shock deepening.
Lamont's ruthlessness was staggering.
To escape the pursuit of a crlord, he had faked his own death. But the true horror was that he had sacrificed someone else's life to save his own. And that person was his friend.

This was beyond cruel.
The more Belinda dwelled on it, the colder the chill that crept down her spine.
Beneath the table, Lucas gently took her hand, offering quiet reassurance. "My team also discovered that the coroner who handled 'Lamont's m e autopsy at the county police department is an old friend of Lamont's. They even conducted a DNA test to verify the body's identity. It's clear the coroner falsified the report to help Lamont cover his tracks."
Lucas' gaze dropped briefly before he continued, "My people are now trying to trace which ch clinic Lemont used for his plastic surgery. But after all these years, most records have likely vanished. We're not even sure if we'll find anything."
