Chapter 631 A Silver Lining
"You may verify it, but only once you've recovered," the woman replied, undeterred by his suspicion. In fact, she found his reaction to be quite reasonable."I will," he vowed.As Dermot scrutinized the documents, his gaze intensified, perhaps taken aback by the enormity of the events that had transpired in his life.The woman watched his silence, a mischievous smile gracing her lips. Every detail she had shared with Dermot was accurate. She had even aided him in uncovering the motives behind the Doyle family's actions against him, albeit with minor alterations."The file mentions an ex-wife?" Dermot's attention was eventually drawn to this detail, and at the sight of the name Evelyn, his heart fluttered—an unusual response for him.The woman nodded in confirmation, "Yes, her name is Evelyn, but you've been divorced for some time now.""Why did we divorce?" Dermot questioned."It appears you weren't fond of her; your marriage was arranged and lacked affection," she responded honestly. These were easily verifiable facts she saw no need to hide from Dermot."However, post-divorce, you seemed to develop an interest in her. Judging by your behavior then, it's likely you had feelings for her, although she didn't reciprocate and was rather irritated by your advances."Dermot furrowed his brow, perplexed at the idea of him being the type to relentlessly pursue someone.As if deciphering his thoughts, the woman added, "Don't assume I'm misleading you; we were acquainted before your accident."She handed him a business card and Dermot accepted it, his eyes falling on the name, Marigold, psychologist.
"You’re a psychologist?" Dermot queried, confused about his connection with a psychologist.Marigold replied, "When I met you, your situation was already quite severe. You were obstinately convinced that Evelyn was your soulmate, persistently chasing after her. Even after the Kyte family reclaimed her, you left everything in Moris City to follow her to Silver Peak. Yet, she had no intention of reuniting with you."The root of your behavior likely lies in your childhood experiences, which are documented. You should familiarize yourself with them."Dermot was in disbelief—he had sacrificed his career for a woman? That was out of character for him.He remained silent, and Marigold continued, "It appears that amnesia might be a blessing in disguise for you. The things that once troubled you now seem to have no effect."Although the documents suggested as much, the agony of forgotten memories was unparalleled."Why would the Doyle family want to kill me?" The documents indicated that his assailants were dispatched by the Doyle family, but the motive was unclear.Marigold, delighted to see him no longer fixated on Evelyn, had grown fond of this man and wouldn't let other women have a chance."You probably weren't informed that he initially left the Doyle family," she noted. "As for his reasons for leaving, it seems only your grandfather would know."The one who attempted to kill you was Atticus Doyle from the Doyle family. He was expected to succeed the family, but for some reason, Grandpa Doyle suddenly summoned all family members and declared that anyone from the Doyle family could inherit the family business, based on merit, whether it was a son or a grandson."Grandpa Doyle would actually be your great uncle, your grandfather's brother. It appears that your grandfather chose to leave Silver Peak to avoid conflict with his brother and carve his own path."However, what Grandpa Doyle didn't anticipate was that, despite his non-involvement, Dermot would still end up in the line of fire.
