Despite the emotional revelation, Lisa remained puzzled. Why did her father act so distant toward her? This newfound information deepened the mystery rather than solving it. "I can’t piece together why he was so cold," Lisa admitted, her voice tinged with frustration. Celeste paused, thinking carefully before suggesting, "Perhaps you should talk to an old family friend, Mr. Thompson. He knew Marcel well and might have some answers for you." Lisa nodded, feeling a flicker of hope that this new lead might finally provide the clarity she sought.
