Yara Reagan glanced at Violet Ford, then exchanged a look with Iris Lockwood.
Finally, feeling somewhat weary, she lowered her eyes, "I’m here."
Violet Ford and Franklin Ford were not very surprised, but there was an indescribable sense of wistfulness.
"Is she still running around for what happened back then?" Violet’s eyes tightened slightly, looking at Yara with hope.
Since Evelyn Clayton disappeared from Riversend, many things seemed to be forcibly paused.
Gene Young was left with old injuries and never returned to the police station. Two years ago, he took Old Officer Young back to their hometown to recuperate; meanwhile, Lars Alden’s wife, Lily Warren, fell seriously ill and passed away a month after Evelyn disappeared.

As for Lars Alden, Yara and Violet Ford kept the news of Lily’s death from him for more than half a year, but in the end, they couldn’t keep it a secret.
Lars Alden, in despair, committed suicide in prison using a sharpened toothbrush handle. By the time the news came out, Lars Alden’s seven-day mourning period had already passed.
As for Morgan Alden...
Yara and Violet later found a way to visit Pinehill Prison, but Morgan had already been transferred, and his files were blank, untraceable by anyone.
According to what Yara knew, James Grant had also tried investigating several times, but to no avail.
All leads were completely severed. Forget about finding evidence of Evelyn Clayton’s father’s murder; even The Ford Family was overwhelmed with their own issues.
Summer Monroe’s cooperation with The Chandler Group made her position as president within The Ford Family increasingly secure. Now, the board of directors of The Ford Group has proposed to settle the position of chairman, with Summer’s votes remaining high.
And Gregory Barnes by her side is more formidable than Soren Foster by countless measures. If Violet Ford and Franklin Ford weren’t both surnamed Ford, they might have already exited the stage of The Ford Group.
"This matter, when Evelyn decides to come forward, she will naturally tell you." Yara’s voice was soft, "She said it’s still not the best time."
Violet showed some signs of urgency, "Then when is the right time?"
She had already waited far too long.
Over the years, neither she nor Franklin had taken any action, for one, because Summer’s power was gradually increasing, making them both avoid her edge, and for another, due to Evelyn.
With such a good ally in trouble, Violet dared not act recklessly.
Yara looked at Violet, her eyes exuding a trace of coldness, "Sister Violet, it’s useless to ask me. But if you ask me, having waited so many years, can’t you wait a little longer?"
With that, she retracted her gaze, her tone cool and calm, "But you can rest assured, Evelyn has said she cannot give up uncovering the truth of this matter. It’s just that the timing is wrong now, so we need to wait."
Wait for the moment to kill the enemy with a single blow.
Violet saw Yara’s slightly cold expression and swallowed the words that reached the tip of her tongue.
She felt somewhat dissatisfied.
Yara now resembled Evelyn Clayton from back in the day like they were carved from the same mold—decisive, resolute, and blunt in speech.
But Violet had no choice.
The Ford Family needed their support, which is why Violet insisted on cooperating with Yara all these years, even when Yara aggressively acquired shares last year, she did not resist.
Noticing the tension in the atmosphere, Iris Lockwood hurriedly raised her glass.
"Today counts as laying everything out, and I hope the two Directors Ford can keep this confidential for us!" Iris beamed brilliantly, "Please have patience while we return! Come, cheers!"
