Chapter 2321

Author: Ginger Sue
After lunch, Alyssa and Sean headed straight for Mildred's home.

This area was a well-known slum in Solana City. The poverty, neglect, and chaos were even more desolate under a blanket of snow.

Mildred's family lived in a rundown house with dirty bricks on the rooftop, giving the impression that the entire structure might collapse with the slightest gust of wind.

"This is terrible. How could this be?" Sean shook his head, feeling indignant. "The victim's family lives in such dire conditions

  • Can't Win Me Back   Chapter 2573

    "I'll accompany you to the police station tomorrow so you can turn yourself in." Javier drew a deep breath, his voice heavy with finality. "It is a father's failure when his child goes astray. As your father, I fell short. "When you were young, I was too focused on advancing my career. Work consumed me, and I neglected to give you the love and care you needed. I indulged you, and that indulgence led to this mistake. I must bear responsibility too. "So I'll face this with you. You were only a teenager when the crime was committed—a minor. I'll hire the best attorney in the country and do everything I can to secure leniency for you."Eden was the first to erupt. "Mr. Javier, don't you think this is incredibly unfair to Mr. Justin? Do you know how much he's been through to get where he is today? He lived alone in a foreign country. No one cared about him, and his health was never good. "Now that he's finally built something for himself, how can you be so cruel as to take it all awa

    Javier's eyes widened in shock. Though the spacious study was well-heated, a chilling cold spread through his entire body. "Justin… w-what do you mean by that? Did you actually take someone's life? Did you really kill that young woman?" "Shh—"Justin lifted a finger to his lips, a cruel glint flashing in his dark eyes. "She was just an insignificant helper. Nothing worth making a fuss over, is it?"Eden, standing behind him, remained silent. Meanwhile, Rory's face had turned deathly pale. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, soaking through his sleeves and collar. Just how twisted did a person have to be to speak of murder with such indifference?"An insignificant helper? That was a human life!"Javier glared at the man before him, his eyes bloodshot. A massive wave of terror crashed over him. "Why did you kill her? Why?""Because it was fun." Justin tilted his head and gave a careless shrug. "Of course, I was a little nervous the first time I stabbed her. But by the second stri

    Immediately, Eden and Rory pulled out their phones at the same time to check the news. A moment later, their expressions fell in unison. They cried out together, "It's bad news, Mr. Beckett!" "What is it now?" Javier snapped impatiently. With a grim expression, Rory glanced at Justin, studying him intently. Though he wanted to report everything to Javier, Justin's cold, sinister gaze sent a chill down his spine. Under that immense pressure, he suddenly found himself at a loss for words. Unable to wait any longer, Javier snatched the phone from Rory's hands. The next moment, it felt as though a bomb had gone off in his head, leaving it buzzing. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. "What is this? An innocent young woman was stabbed over 20 times and murdered? Someone reported that Justin killed a female helper in our family 20 years ago, and that our entire family covered it up?"They're urging the authorities to investigate this as soon as possible, and they're calling for

    "Justin, what's going on with your Uncle Zachary's death? Why are the police investigating you?" Javier demanded. Dark circles hung beneath his eyes, clear evidence that he hadn't slept at all. Justin crossed his legs nonchalantly, an unperturbed smile spreading across his face. "Dad, I know what you're afraid of. But what's there to fear? No matter how terrifying or perverse Uncle Zachary was, he's already dead." Javier flew into a rage. "Me? Afraid of him? The police are after you because of his death! Cyrus Taylor took you away in front of everyone at yesterday's board meeting. The news has spread across Solana City; it's even trending online!"Beckett Group's share price plunged into the red first thing this morning. Do you even realize how much trouble you've caused the corporation?"Justin merely shrugged. "So what? The contract for Project A5 has already been signed, and the project is underway. Besides, we have government-backed projects supporting us. These fluctuations

    Justin had never been in optimal health to begin with, relying on medication for years just to keep his condition stable. On top of that, he had been detained at the police station for over ten hours. It was nearly one o'clock in the morning by the time he returned to Seaview Manor.Ever since he was a child, he had regarded Javier as a useless father. In fact, deep down, he had never truly seen him as his father at all. Everything about their relationship had merely been a means for Justin to strip Javier of his power and authority and achieve his ultimate goal. Now, utterly exhausted, Justin had no energy to deal with Javier. After arriving home, he headed straight to his room to rest, leaving Eden to handle him. After taking so many lives in recent days, the weight on Justin's heart was overwhelming. Nevertheless, having reached his physical and emotional limits, he fell into a deep sleep the moment his head touched the pillow. He dreamed of watching his mother shoot hersel

    In the interrogation room, Cyrus conducted the questioning himself. He tossed several crime scene photos onto the table in front of Justin. "Take a look. Aside from your Uncle Zachary, do you recognize the other man?"Justin lowered his gaze, his voice calm and steady. "No."A faint smile tugged at Cyrus's lips. "No? This was the man who kidnapped you 20 years ago. He locked you up in a cage and tortured you for days. "I'm sure that left quite an impression. You must have wished to kill him every time you thought about it. How could you possibly forget his face?"A cold glint flashed in Justin's dark eyes, but his tone remained even. "Oh, that's him? But like you said, that was 20 years ago. It's only natural I wouldn't remember something from that long ago, don't you think?"Cyrus narrowed his eyes slightly. "And yet Jasper recognized him at a glance. That man was Gustav Holm, the thug who kidnapped both of you back then. Your brother is five years younger than you, which mean

His parents had high hopes for him from childhood, and he was the role model of his siblings. He sailed through life and was considered one of the elite attorneys

    Simon remarked with an amused expression, "I will do my best to win the case if the defendant seeks my help and gives me their trust.""I found something interesting," chirped Cyrus, who crossed his legs and examined Simon in the manner he'd observe a suspect. "Your clientele appears to be quite rich
