Victoria's head struck the sharp protrusion on the wooden floor, and blood flowed from the back of her head. Her body convulsed twice before becoming motionless. "Ah!" Hailey let out a brief scream and quickly covered her mouth, but it was too late. Edwin turned his head upon hearing the sound. In that instant, Hailey felt as if she had seen a devil. Edwin's eyes were bloodshot, filled with murderous intent. His muscles were taut, and even though he was dressed in an elegant suit, he couldn't hide the terrifying aura that surrounded him. "I... I didn't see anything!" Hailey turned around and ran. She never expected that while wandering around aimlessly, she would unintentionally witness Edwin killing Victoria in a place devoid of servants and guests. Hailey deeply regretted why she had put herself in such a situation. Even if she screamed for help, no one in the banquet hall would hear her. They could only hear the elegant waltz music and the harmonious conversation signifying p
"Hailey, shut up! You have no right to speak here!" Natalie revealed a sharp side she had never shown before.Hailey wasn't part of the Windsor family, and her position in the Watson family wasn't high enough, so it seemed she indeed had no qualification to speak.But... she was a witness!"My Victoria! Victoria, how can I face your mother like this?" Henry stood beside Victoria's body, crying uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face.Edwin supported Henry, hiding the smirk in his eyes, and said, "Dad, please calm down. Don't go over there for now. If you accidentally disturb Victoria's body and destroy evidence, it won't be easy to bring the murderer to justice.""Victoria, my daughter!" Henry's cries, filled with grief, echoed throughout North Point."Mama, don't worry. I will make sure the person who harmed you gets what they deserve!" Adrian's eyes welled up with tears, his face pale and his hands trembling.Lyra gently supported him, whispering, "Adrian, our son and I will a
Since Victoria is already dead and can't be punished for hiring a hitman, Adrian used this to accuse Oliver of having a motive for murder.Playing a good hand!"I have something to say too." Edwin suddenly spoke up, pointing at Oliver's silver mask, saying, "Everyone thinks he disfigured his face and turned into an ugly monster, but I coincidentally found out that behind that mask is actually an intact face!"Edwin's gaze toward Oliver was like looking at a deeply scheming devil. "Oliver, you have gone through so much trouble to hide your face. I have reason to suspect that you have some undisclosed secrets!"Except for a few trustworthy individuals who had seen "Oliver's" true face, the only one who saw him was Hailey!Seeing Hailey's proud expression, it immediately became clear why Hailey would become Edwin's companion- because she and Edwin had conspired together!Everybody thought Oliver would refuse to take off the mask.Amid the watchful eyes, his slender fingers grasped the si
"Alright, thank you. I'll give you a bonus later," Natalie said to Sophia as they got into a taxi, instructing the driver, "To the Harrington family villa."Natalie finally had time to look at her phone, which was filled with missed calls from Lilian.At first, Natalie had no intention of answering, but after some consideration, she decided to call Lilian back.After all, Lilian was Oliver's cousin and genuinely cared about him."Hello."As soon as the call connected, she heard Lilian's anxious roar. "Natalie, what happened to my brother? What on earth happened? I refuse to believe my brother would kill someone, and even if he did, he wouldn't use such a foolish method and get caught!"Natalie's heart tightened. She didn't believe it either, but Oliver didn't explain anything. All the evidence pointed to him, and she couldn't do anything about it."Natalie, you have to figure something out, please! Natalie, my brother didn't kill anyone, right?" Lilian sobbed.Natalie couldn't help bu
In reality, Sophia wanted to say, "If Oliver is ruined, won't it be better for you to come to my master? My master is handsome, capable, influential, and cherishes you like a precious gem. He's much better than Oliver!”Natalie said, "I'll make a phone call."But she couldn't even contact Isaac and Wyatt!Sophia discreetly observed Natalie's expression and felt immense joy in her heart. They were not picking up her calls! Which means only her master was left!"Think about whether you have any friends you can contact. Ideally, someone influential and powerful. Only such individuals can be of help at times like this," Sophia calmly suggested, secretly hoping her master would come to mind.Natalie indeed thought of Roger.Roger was capable and resourceful, but to be precise, she had only met him a few times. They were acquaintances, but every encounter felt like a matter of life and death.However, at that moment, she couldn't think of anyone better than Roger.She dialed his number, and
"Oliver... are you trying to kill me?" Natalie wondered to herself. After leaving, she would contact the best lawyer. Money was not an issue, as she hadn't spared any expenses to hire top lawyers with RK Group's wealth."Natalie, are you so certain that I'm innocent? All the evidence points to me, and I'm the only one accused with motive." Oliver was curious to know why Natalie was so convinced of his innocence and what lengths she would go for him.Natalie remained silent for a while.Looking into his eyes, she said firmly, "Yes, I'm sure. I believe in my judgment of people." Oliver chuckled softly, feeling somewhat pleased. She clearly didn't know anything, yet she believed him unconditionally. "Natalie, what you see may not necessarily be true. What if I really am a murderer? Wouldn't you be standing against truth and the law?" This time, Oliver didn't wait for her defense.Oliver stood up, his wrists clasped in handcuffs, and as he walked, the iron chains connecting the handcuff
The problem lies not in Oliver being too calm and composed, but rather in how smoothly this whole trap has been set; simultaneously, Oliver's trusted subordinates and brothers have all lost contact.Everything happened after Oliver "got into trouble," which seems incredibly coincidental.Oliver is definitely not the type to sit and wait for death. Even if he can ensure his innocence, in a cunning and ruthless family like this, he should at least hire a top-notch lawyer to assist him.Let's think from a different perspective.What if Oliver is actually the one in control of the situation?What is his purpose behind all of this?Natalie doesn't have enough information to make a valid judgment at the moment.Perhaps, only Oliver himself, the person involved, knows what he has done and what his intentions are.As Natalie walked along, she suddenly realized something—she had been worried and anxious inside, blurting out all sorts of things. Could it be that Oliver, that jerk, was intention
Lilian squatted on the carpet and kept crying. Her shoulders shuddered, and tears were falling down from her eyes like beads.Lucas awkwardly wiped his nose, feeling a bit of a headache coming on.Why is she crying again? Did he really scare her?"Don't cry... I'm Natalie's younger brother. My sister asked me to look after you. That girlfriend comment was a joke. I'm not interested in someone underage like you," he explained, slightly softening his voice.The young girl on the floor looked up, her tearful eyes glaring at him. "I'm of age! In my country, I'm considered an adult at 16!"Lilian wiped away her tears, still squatting on the floor. When she stood up, she felt a bit dizzy. She swayed before regaining her balance and pushed him away with her hand."I want to go find my cousin. Don't stand in my way. I'm not familiar with Natalie, and she has no right to control me. Move!"Initially, Lucas thought this "little penguin" was a bit cute, but when he heard her say she didn't recog
