Chapter 370 Ezra Might Not Have Died

Catching the key point, I frowned, "He? Who is he? Do you know who's behind this?"

Walter took a deep breath, his dark eyes looking out the car window, and said. "There's no evidence, but with all that's happened, it's not hard to guess. They just didn't want me to find the person I was looking for, so they went to great lengths to hold me back."

I didn't understand his words, looking at him with a face full of confusion. I knew he was keeping something from me, but I had never asked, nor did I know how to. For instance, why was he in Fallwall five years ago? Clearly, he was the second young master of the Hinton family, always surrounded by bodyguards to protect him. How could someone like him end up in a water dungeon?

And when he was in Chesterburg, why would Ezra's death cause him such regret?

For instance, the words he is saying now, the 'he' or 'they' he refers to in his speech? Who are they? Why did they want to hold him back? Many doubts.

Everyone has secrets, good or bad, I didn't ask any further.

Seeing my silence, he lowered his gaze to me, his voice warm and deep, "I thought you would be more curious, why have you become silent?"

I pursed my lips, saying lightly, "What you can tell me, you will. What you can't, I won't ask, so as not to put you in a difficult position."

He paused slightly, looking at me with a dark expression, "Tabatha, do you trust me that much?"

I averted my gaze, not looking at him, and said nonchalantly, "No, I just don't like to probe until everything is revealed."

His deep, magnetic laughter echoed in my ears. I glanced sideways, meeting his handsome features. His smile was beautiful, something I had known for a long time. But as he smiled like this now, I felt increasingly uneasy. Frowning, I asked, "What are you laughing at?"

The corners of his mouth lifted, "Happy."

I gave him a glance and shut up.

He reached out to me, placing my hand in his broad palm, holding me as he said, "Tabatha, thank you, for always believing in me."

I wanted to pull away, but he held me, his deep voice in my ear, "Ten years ago, my father left the Hinton family, and he never came back after he left. Later, my mother also passed away from illness. At first, it was my grandfather who was looking for him, but after my grandfather passed away, I continued the search. Five years ago, I got news from the police that he was at the border, so I went to the border alone. But I didn't find him, and I ended up in Fallwall, where I met you. After returning to my country, I continued to search. I originally wanted to find out his whereabouts from Ezra, but I didn't expect Ezra to die. However, recently, the people Yang Jing warned and sent to the border sent a message saying that there were traces of my father."

I frowned, "With all the recent events, do you suspect someone is trying to stop you from finding your father?"

He nodded slightly, frowning, "Also, there's news from the police who were handling the case in Chesterburg before, Ezra might not be

dead."

I froze, my scalp tingling violently, disbelief coursing through me. "Not dead? How could he possibly not be dead? I clearly saw that day, he exploded along with that ship, not even a trace of his remains could be found, how could he possibly not be dead? Besides, even if he had the greatest abilities, how could he possibly have survived such a massive explosion?"

Seeing my sudden emotional reaction, he tightened his grip on my hand and wrapped his arm around my shoulder, saying, "The people over there are just guessing, they're not sure. Captain Lucas has already sent someone to verify it."

I controlled my emotions, looking at him and asked, "Guess? What did they base their guess on?"

Walter pursed his lips, saying, "The police arranged for someone in Fallwall to send a message. The news from Fallwall was that Ezra was seriously injured and was placed in a hidden location to recover." I was trembling all over, nursing my wounds?

Seeing me like this, he said, “Perhaps the other party just wants to stabilize Ezra's henchmen, let them continue to work peacefully. The authenticity of this matter is unverifiable, Captain Lucas has already arranged for someone to investigate. Once there is information, he will inform us immediately."

I pursed my lips, feeling a chill in my body. Ezra, this man, even thinking of him now filled me with terror. Whether it was five years ago or now, he was like a bomb in our lives, capable of blowing up everyone at any time.

If he hadn't died, knowing him as I did, his revenge for the Chesterburg incident would have come sooner or later.

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the fear in my heart, I looked at

Walter and asked, "Could Jacob have something to do with what happened today?"

Walter pursed his lips, a slight frown creasing his brow as he said, "It's hard to judge at the moment."

The incident today was so serious, even resulting in a death. Looking at him, I couldn't help but worry, "With such a serious incident, your side..."

He looked, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, "Worried about me?"
