The most crucial pieces of information were missing, leaving her with a bunch of irrelevant and useless data.
She immediately made a call, demanding, “Check again! Thoroughly! I want the most detailed information! When did her father pass away, and under what circumstances? We need all the details, including her surname. If she’s hiding it, there must be a significant secret!”
