Chapter 1438: Chapter 1438: Seeing the Shadow of Xaviera Evans on Her Chapter 1438: Chapter 1438: Seeing the Shadow of Xaviera Evans on Her Xaviera Evans spoke indifferently, “Caleb, I’ve told you about Jacob Powell. Do you think Wayne Reiser knows him too? Since Wayne is so determined to return to Libanan, it means he must know the use of the blood. Being such an old fox, he wouldn’t move his family back to Libanan based on hearsay; he’d at least investigate first to avoid startling the snake.”

“So, I think he might have seen the usefulness of my blood with his own eyes. There must be some connection between him and Jacob Powell, at least they should have met.”

Wayne Reiser must have known that Jacob had taken her blood and saved someone with it, so he moved his family back to Libanan.

Xaviera slightly hooked her lips, sneering lightly, “Since both Wayne Reiser and Jacob Powell are our enemies, how could I let Fiona Reiser go to jail so easily? She needs to gradually reveal her true colors, and besides, Mia Reiser and Joyce Jones have a huge secret behind them. If Wayne Reiser is alerted, Joyce’s case will be impossible to continue investigating.”

Caleb’s lips pressed together, and Joyce Jones probably wished for nothing more in the world than the downfall of Wayne Reiser. He bore a great grudge and would become their most powerful ally.

…

At the entrance of the venue.

Mia Reiser hummed a tune as she walked out, deliberately avoiding the crowd and preparing to take a taxi away.

“Miss Reiser.”

Mia Reiser stopped mid-step, her eyes sharp as she slowly turned around.

Joyce Jones could clearly sense the murderous intent radiating from her. Once she recognized the man before her, the murderous intent dissipated, and her round eyes were filled with confusion. Then she smiled sweetly, “Oh! Mr. Jones!”

Joyce Jones: “…”

Why did he see Xaviera’s shadow in Mia Reiser?

Mia Reiser had a round face and eyes, fair skin, and when she smiled, there were two dimples. She looked like a sweet little sister, and she knew how to act cute and adorable. “What can I do for you, Mr. Jones?”

Joyce Jones helplessly held his forehead, “Alright, stop pretending to be innocent in front of me.”

Mia Reiser played dumb, “What are you talking about, Mr. Jones? I don’t understand!”

“Five years ago, we met at a party for a noble lady in Yittaland.” Joyce Jones cut to the chase.

Mia Reiser’s round eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes. Her mouth still curved upward, but her gaze became chillingly cold. “Joyce Jones, what exactly do you want?”

“Xaviera returned from Yittaland five years ago, and you were also in Yittaland at that time. Isn’t it a coincidence?”

Mia Reiser scoffed, “It’s just a coincidence. I didn’t know Xaviera Evans at the time.”

“What about Wayne Reiser?” Joyce Jones’ voice carried a hint of probing. “Does he know Jacob Powell?”

Jacob Powell…

Mia Reiser slowly said, “I’ve never heard of this person before, but five years ago, the Reiser family did go to Yittaland. I know you’re friends with Xaviera, so I’m willing to talk to you. But you have to tell me what you really want to know.”

“Miss Mia Reiser.” Joyce Jones’s face suddenly turned cold, his eyes filled with intense hatred as he gritted his teeth and asked, “Do you know that Wayne Reiser once funded an orphanage?”

Mia Reiser nodded her head.

“Do you know that all the orphans in that orphanage are dead?”

Mia Reiser’s pupils suddenly contracted, her shocked gaze fixed on Joyce Jones as if she understood something.

Joyce Jones’s heart was filled with towering hatred, his teeth grinding as he enunciated each word, “They’re all dead, except for me.”

“You want to kill Wayne Reiser.” Mia Reiser suddenly realized.

Yes, not only him but his whole family!

Joyce Jones’s eyes were slightly misty as he slowly raised his head and clenched his fist.

Only after knowing that Joyce Jones had a grudge against Wayne Reiser did Mia Reiser feel relieved to speak, “Jacob Powell and Wayne Reiser know each other, and you should have heard that Jacob Powell is a believer in ghosts and gods. Since five years ago, he often invited exorcists to his home to perform rituals, and even insisted on praying for blessings every month. But Jacob Powell grew up in Yittaland and didn’t have anyone around him who believed in ghosts and gods. Why did he suddenly believe in such things?”

“I sent people to investigate, and they said that Jacob Powell prayed for blessings to help the soul of a deceased person, but he claimed to the outside world that he was praying for blessings for his sister and mother. Moreover, the place where Jacob Powell often went for seclusion, Wayne Reiser also visited. That’s all I know.”

Joyce Jones lowered his gaze, and various clues connected seemed to form a line, which was the truth!
