Chapter 630
I remained silent throughout the entire journey to the Lincoln residence.
Somehow, I felt that something was amiss, yet I couldn't figure it out.
If Andy truly loved Sarah, wouldn't he be anxious to look for his own lover when she went missing?
"Andy went to study overseas when he was 19. Once he graduated and returned, he slowly took over Lincoln Group. That was when Ignatius gradually ceded power," Steven said solemnly.
That meant Andy had gone overseas shortly after Sarah went missing. That shouldn't be a coincidence as well.
"Could it be that Mr. Lincoln Senior had some connection to Genome Society? He was worried that a poor woman like Sarah might hinder Andy, so he had her captured and sent to Genome Society?" Zion speculated.
It seemed like it could only be a speculation at this point.
"Ignatius probably has little to do with Genome Society. He's an extremely conservative person who wouldn't actively participate in charity. The funding support to Genome Society started from Andy.
"Besides, if Ignatius were an important member of Genome Society, he wouldn't have allowed Martin to bribe Genome Society in secret to edit genomes in babies, leaving a risk like Jimmy."
As Mr. Lincoln Senior was inherently suspicious, he wouldn't have allowed any family members from the branches to surpass him when he was still alive.
I nodded. Indeed, if Mr. Lincoln Senior was someone from Genome Society, he wouldn't have died so easily.
We got out of the car upon reaching the Lincoln residence. The old house was looking desolated. Despite the staff and butler's constant cleaning, the unoccupied house still seemed forlorn.
Steven brought us to the top-floor attic storage room. Many of Andy's belongings were left there.
We found Sarah's black-and-white photo in one of his earlier diaries. She was smiling brightly in that photo. It was likely Andy had brought her to get the photo taken.
That photo had unexpectedly become the only evidence of her existence in this world.
"Is Sarah mentioned in the diary?" I asked Steven.
He shook his head. "You can see it for yourself."
The handwriting was blurry due to moisture, making many words unreadable.
I flipped through the pages there was nothing related to Sarah at all. However, it was strange that her photo was in the diary.
"Since we could find Sarah's photo in Andy's belongings, then it should be solid proof that they were together," I whispered, checking the date of the diary. "Wait a minute, this diary was after Sarah's disappearance. What about the ones before?"
Did Andy keep a diary before her disappearance?
We searched through the room for a good while, yet we couldn't find other diaries. We only found a string of strange numbers on the back of the battered diary.
"7628977. And what are these dates for?"
"What do these numbers mean?" I wasn't sure if they were just Andy's random scribbles.
Steven studied the string of numbers. "This is... the donation account of Genome Society."
The string of numbers was the donation account of Genome Society. That meant that Andy had been regularly transferring money to them.
