Chapter 451 Marjorie’s Father
Hearing the name Michael, I suddenly remembered the police code that Elliott had told me before he died. I had always overlooked one thing, Elliott was not a policeman. He had always used the name Michael, and the people in the mountains had always said he was a policeman, which misled me to never think in other directions. Why did he use the name Michael?
In the video, Elliott continued to explain that he and Michael became close friends. The closer they got, the more he understood him. Eventually, he inadvertently found out that Michael was an undercover agent sent to the border, with the purpose of finding an opportunity to gather criminal evidence against Warren and his gang.
Two close friends were in a dangerous situation, but after laying low for many years, Michael acted cautiously and carefully, yet he found quite a few pieces of Warren’s criminal evidence.
It was just unexpected that five years ago, Warren was almost killed when he was ambushed by the police while smuggling drugs at the border. After a narrow escape from death, he somehow found out that there was a mole among his ranks, and began to search and interrogate those around him.
Originally, if Michael had handled it himself, with his ability, he could naturally have gotten away with it. But unfortunately, he was born into a wealthy family, and the pure and upright Elliott couldn’t bear to see someone else take the blame and lose their life for him, so he inadvertently exposed the truth. As a result, he implicated Michael as
well.
The two were tormented in every possible way by Warren’s people.

Michael had been lurking by Warren’s side for many years, learning a lot about Warren’s affairs. Now that something had happened, the information he had hadn’t had a chance to be sent out, so the two tried their best to escape.
During the escape attempt, Michael was killed by Warren’s men while trying to save Elliott. Before he died, Michael handed something to Elliott, urging him to find a way to get the message back home, no matter what.
He also entrusted his wife and children in his home country to Elliott.
As I listened to Elliott revealing the information about Michael’s wife and children, I was momentarily stunned, looking incredulously at Stanley.
Stanley gave me a slight nod and handed me a faded photograph. It was a picture of a mother and daughter. The mother was still young, and the girl was still a child. But the resemblance between the girl and the present-day Marjorie was striking. Despite the photo’s age, one could easily recognize her at first glance.
Michael was Marjorie’s father, and I was dumbfounded. My mother had previously told me about Mia, saying that she fell in love and got pregnant at a young age, which led her to drop out of school. The man she loved disappeared without a trace before she gave birth, showing no responsibility. For all these years, Mia had been living alone with her daughter. Now that Marjorie had grown up, she finally found. someone else to marry.
I had always thought that Marjorie’s father was a rogue, or an irresponsible vagabond, but I never imagined that he would be a hero!
In the video, Elliott continued to narrate that after Michael’s death, he ran around to avoid Warren, but was still caught and brought back. However, he wasn’t killed by Warren, but was brought into the

mountains by Ezra. He was also told that if he wanted to stay alive, it would be best not to tell anyone who he was, otherwise he would die even faster.
So, he was kept in the mountains under the identity of Michael. He managed to escape a few times, but each time he was caught, he was tortured mercilessly.
Watching him finish telling everything, I pursed my l*ps, remaining silent. Five years ago, could it be that Ezra knew Elliott was Walter’s father five years ago?
Back then, I met Walter in Fallwall. He later said that he was there to find his father. So, at that time, it was the same. They were so close to seeing each other.
Seeing me remain silent, Stanley pursed his l*ps and said, “Ms. Conner, take a look at this.”
He handed me his phone, the screen displaying a news page. As I read the headline, I involuntarily furrowed my brows, “Heiress of a wealthy family flees to the border with a drug dealer for love, returns with blood-stained hands and kills her ex-husband.”
After reading the general content, although the article didn’t mention names, it wasn’t hard to guess that the main content of the article was referring to me.
I looked at Stanley, frowning, “Officer Lu, this…”
He pursed his l*ps, saying, “I just found out too. The article was just released not long ago and it hasn’t gained much attention. We’ve already sent someone to handle it.”
I nodded, sighed slightly, my mind still on Elliott’s video. After a moment of silence, I turned to him with a puzzled look, “Ollicer Lu, why did you have me watch these?”

Elliott’s will, he had no reason to show me. After all, I was half responsible for Elliott’s death.
He pulled up a chair and sat down, looking at me and said, “You have the right to know this. After all, you are determined to save him and must be curious why he, clearly being Elliott, would use a stranger’s name.”
