Chapter 232

Renfrew shook his feet as he sat on the bed. Rickard moved a chair over and sat across him.

"Alright, tell me. Who helped you?"

Rickard watched the surveillance that was tampered with previously and it was done so well that there were no traces left. The tech team at Duval Group wasn't a bunch of free-loaders, but they still couldn't break the code. It wasn't because they were terrible but the person who did it was very careful.

Rickard suddenly realized that he never knew who Renfrew was in touch with. This person who had been helping him must have some ulterior motive... Being questioned was something Renfrew would inevitably face since he was born into the Duval family.

"I won't tell you. It's a secret between us." Renfrew was stubborn. "She wouldn't lie to me."

Renfrew was rarely so stubborn and would never hide anything from him. However, Rickard suddenly realized that maybe this person had been in Renfrew's life for a long time but he just never noticed. It was due to his negligence.

Remembering the accusations Hesper hurled at him, Rickard zoned out. Seeing that, Renfrew took out his phone from the bag and deleted all the messages between him and Ms. Myriade.

He did this so many times before. The first thing that Ms. Myriade taught him was how to remove evidence so well that people wouldn't be able to recover it.

Rickard saw his actions and knew that there must be something he wasn't supposed to see on the phone.

Even though it was a little disrespectful toward Renfrew, he grabbed it out of his hands for Renfrew's safety.

"Hmm... there's no point," Renfrew mumbled. "There's nothing to see."

Renfrew's phone was very simple and didn't even have a passcode. Rickard checked all the messages and saw that nothing was out of the ordinary and there was no proof of him talking to any stranger. A thought crawled into his mind. "You did something to it?"

"..." Renfrew didn't plan to hide this from him and knew that there was nothing he could say to cover up. He was the one who wiped the surveillance footage today, and it was nowhere as well done as Ms. Myriade, so it was difficult to hide it.

Rickard gave Renfrew his phone back and stopped asking questions.

"That person taught you all of this?"

Renfrew nodded but didn't dare say another word.

Knowing that Renfrew wouldn't tell him anything about the person, Rickard felt guilty on top of feeling troubled.

Hesper was right. He didn't pay enough attention to Renfrew, so he hadn't even known that he was talking to a stranger, let alone how talented Renfrew was.

Renfrew looked alert. Rickard sighed and patted his head. "Fine, I won't ask you more about your friend."

Hearing that, Renfrew was evidently relieved but took a peek at Rickard.

"She's my best friend, so I won't break my promise to her. I wouldn't answer even if you or Mommy asked. That was our agreement."

Rickard nodded. "Alright, but Renfrew Duval, you need to remember one thing."

His dad rarely called him by his full name, so he looked at his father and listened intently.

"You're the only child of our family, so that means that your aren't like other children."

"I can protect you as you grow, but when the time comes, you'll face a society that will bully the weak. There will always be people who pounce at you when they get the chance," Rickard said. "Your current indulgence will hurt you in the future."
