Chapter 200
Matthew stepped into the living room of the Anderson residence, and a middle–aged man around 50, Owen, personally greeted him.
Matthew had often visited the Anderson residence when he was younger, and since the Grants and Andersons were close, be naturally knew Owen,
“Mathew, you’re here. It’s been a few years since we last met, and you’ve grown up. From afar, Lalmost mistook you for your father back in the day Time flies and I didn’t realize so many years had passed”
Matthew greeted, “It’s been a while, Mr. Owen You look energetic as always
Owen waved his hand and smiled wryly, Tim getting old now anal Kranson City is dominated by young people nowadays, especially you, Matthew, Among the younger generation in Kranson City, you stand out the most. If your father were alive, he would be proud of you?
He then sighed with mixed emotions before leading Matthew into another room.
Matthew didn’t like small talk, so after the servants left, he got straight to the point. “Mr. Owen, Heard you found the girl who went missing years
This mystery had been hanging over the entire Anderson family for twenty years. Although almost everyone assumed the girl was probably dead. the sudden confirmation of her death was still shocking
Owen sighed heavily and said, “When I heard this news, I was also surprised. I’ve been traveling constantly and searching for her for twenty years, hoging to bring her back as soon as possible, bait I never expected”
He stopped his sentence and looked fatigued.
Matthew furrowed his brows slightly and asked. “Are you sure it’s her?”
Owen paused for a moment, then called his assistant over. The assistant handed him a folder and lie spread its contents on the table for Matthew to take a look at. There were texts, letters, and some old photos,
“We got the first clue from an old fisherman near Viva Beach, learning thus be used in patrol the mountains and beaches when he was young and saved many people. Among them was a girl he found by the sea whom he took in hospital, but no one claimed her. Eventually, the hospital announced that the child would he sent to an orphanage.
*Living in poverty for a long time, the fisherman had a wicked thought. He felt sorry for the child going to an orphanage and quietly took her out of the hospital, giving her to a childless couple in his hometown. He said it was a gift, but it was a sale, for which he received 1,600 dollars. This is the confession letter he wrote with his thumbprint and signature on the lack”

Mathew picked up the confession letter to read, finding the paper new with messy handwriting that indicated a person w letter, the fisherman repeatedly expressed remorse and begged not to be sent to prison.
Owen then picked up two photos in sh
to show Matthew.
“Although the information from the fisherman matches the information about Sarali’s disappearance, we couldn’t confirm if the girl was Sarah until I visited the fisherman’s hometown and found the childless couple. With some coercion and bribery, they gave me these photos. After sering these, although I refused to believe it, I had to admit that this girl was Saral. She looks exactly like her mother, Chlor, so I’m sure that the’s Sarah But I didn’t expect she had already passed away, only if I had found her sooner!
As Owen spoke, he pounded the table in frustration with a pained expression

Matthew took a glance at the photos. One was an old yellow–stained photo with deep creases, showing a girl in worn–our clothes. She was sitting stiffly on a chair, looking very thin and malnourished.
The other photo showed the living environment of the childless couple, which was a visibly impoverished mountainous area with a rundown house. The house had walls with cracks, indicating a life of hardship and it was no wonder the girl suffered from malnutrition.
Matthew frowned slightly upon
looking at the photos
Owen mentioned the resemblance between the girl and her mother, although Matthew felt that she did look a little similar to her mother, the girl’s demeanor was completely different from the elegant and noble Chlor he remembered.
Moreover, Sarah was five years old when she disappeared, already sensible and aware. Even if she lost her memory, a person’s essence wouldn’t candy change due to external factors and she shouldn’t have looked so timid.
For some reason, Matthew’s mind suddenly flashed with Valerie’s figure,
He
finally remembered why he felt a strange familiarity with Valerie before. It was because Valerie’s demeanor resembled that of Olivia. If Valerie didn’t have her parents and brother, he would have suspected that Valerie might be Sarali, the granddaughter lost by the Anderson family years
