Chapter 240 Conduct DNA Test

Day Twenty Six…

~~*****~~

Nathan approached Joker instantly, closing their gaps. He held his shoulders and shook his body while asking him, "Tell me. What did you find out about her? Is she a member of Phantom's Assassin Guild?"

Nathan was dying to hear the truth. He couldn't be at ease without learning everything about Abigail. This woman was making him nuts. She began to affect him so much.

Joker was confused for a moment, darting his gaze back and forth between Nathan and Stephen. "Huh? Member of Phantom's Assassin Guild? Supreme Leader, what are you talking about?"

Upon investigating Abigail's background and digging for more information about Abigail, Joker didn't find anything that would connect her to the Phantom's Assassin Guild. This relation didn't come out in his investigation at all.

"The interesting truth about Abigail which you were talking about… perhaps, is it about Abigail being a member of Phantom's Assassin Guild?" Stephen was the one who repeated Nathan's question. He knew that his best friend wouldn't feel better unless this certain question would be given an answer.

Nathan's grip on Joker's shoulders tightened further. And he looked at him straight into his eyes. Nathan was anticipating Joker's response.

Joker shifted his gaze back and forth between Nathan and Stephen once more. He couldn't understand why both men were insisting that Abigail was a member of Phantom's Assassin Guild.

After a while, Joker shook his head frantically and said, "Master Stephen and Supreme Leader, I don't know why you are asking me this but there is no such thing in the result of my investigation. Miss Abigail has nothing to do with the Phantom's Assassin Guild nor any syndicates or organizations in the underworld."

"Miss Abigail Scarlett is very clean. But she has a sad past, because she was abandoned when she was just a child," Joker informed the two.

"Are you sure about that?" Nathan asked him again. This time he loosened his grip on Joker's body.

"Yes, Supreme Leader. I couldn't be wrong. I already conducted a very thorough investigation and I dug deeper about her past." Joker was confident with his answer.

'ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ Novel(B) in.ᴄᴏᴍ ᴛᴏ ᴇxᴘᴇʀɪᴇɴᴄᴇ ꜰᴀsᴛᴇʀ ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ sᴘᴇᴇᴅ.',

For some unknown reason, the heaviness in Nathan's heart suddenly disappeared when he heard those words from Joker. He trusted his subordinate. There was no way Joker would lie to him.

"So what do you mean by an interesting truth about Abigail?" Stephen wanted to clear this thing.

Joker's eyes lit up as he recalled a very significant piece of information he had discovered about Abigail's identity.

"Supreme Leader… Master Stephen… you will be surprised when you hear this… I didn't expect this as well."

"Just tell us!" Nathan could no longer wait further.

"Abigail Scarlett might be an heiress… the missing heiress of the Yan Family," Joker cheerfully said to them.

Nathan: "Yan Family?"

Stephen: "Yan Family?"

Both Nathan and Stephen spoke at the same time. They had creases on their foreheads.

Joker bobbed his head once again and elaborated on his statement.

"You know Madam Priyanshi Patel, right? She has been searching for her missing niece… the youngest daughter of her deceased sister. Her missing niece might be none other than Abigail Scarlett."

Nathan and Stephen were both rendered speechless. The Yan Family and the Patel Family were both powerful families in this country. They indeed belonged to the top 5 richest families in Country M.

"But Supreme Leader… the more I dug deeper on this, the more odd things I discovered," Joker said meaningfully, rubbing his chin.

"What is it?" Nathan and Stephen uttered in unison. The two men were both interested and intrigued.

"The day her suicide attempt happened was also the day she was supposed to meet the hired detective of Madam Priyanshi. Madam Patel hired topnotch detectives for several years now just to find her missing niece."

'This chapter is updated by Nov elB i n',

"Do you find it odd as well? Abigail was supposed to meet the detective to confirm her identity but she suddenly committed suicide, jumping from the 13th Floor of the building?" Joker continued to share his thoughts with them.

"I think Miss Abigail was telling the truth. Someone tried to kill her and staged it as suicide!" he declared.

Nathan subconsciously clenched his fists. He was mad… but this time, not because of Abigail. The rage and hatred he felt inside his heart were directed to the person who tried to harm Abigail just to hide the truth.

'Is the reason why Abigail is being targeted… because of this inheritance from the Yan Family?' Nathan tried to figure out the real motive of the mastermind for eliminating Abigail.

"If the people who wanted Abigail dead came from the Yan Family… then Miss Abigail is really in big trouble. This is about a big amount of inheritance… we are talking about here," Stephen mumbled, smirking.

"This is like members of the royal family fighting for the throne!" Stephen added, the smug smile on his face never left.

Then Stephen removed Nathan's hands that were still holding Joker's shoulders. "See, Nate. I think… we are wrong to judge her. It looks like Abigail has no connections with the Phantom's Assassin Guild. You might have misheard it."

Nathan just pursed his lips, thinking so hard. 'Was I truly wrong? Did I mishear it?' Nathan mused to himself.

The result of Joker's investigation was foolproof. Even if Nathan would try to do different investigations and dig deeper into Abigail's identity and her past, they would never find any connections between Abigail and the Phantom's Assassin Guild.

Abigail had never met any members of that guild. Abigail tried her best to make ends meet every day. She worked hard to get what she had today in the Entertainment Circle. Phantomflake was never involved in her life.

"Now, what are you going to do now, my friend?" Stephen asked Nathan.

Nathan just frowned deeply as he met Stephen's gaze. He didn't have to spell it all out. Of course, he had to do something for Abigail.

"Joker, I have another task for you," Nathan spoke, exuding with authority.

"Do this discreetly. None from the Yan Family should know this. You have to do a DNA test for Abigail and Madam Priyanshi. Let's confirm first if the two are related by blood."
