Chapter 611

Before Phoenix finished her sentence, Elijah was already sweating profusely. His throat seemed to be clogged with phlegm, rendering him speechless.

"Are we fighting or not?" Phoenix asked again. "Just say the word!"

Elijah took a deep breath, collected his thoughts, and then sighed deeply.

"To think my second son would degenerate to such a degree, drinking and taking drugs until he fell to his death. It's a tragedy! Truly lamentable!"

Behind him, the faces of several Thompson family children turned pale.

"Father! Didn't you say Kelvin was murdered?"

"Yes! When Kelvin left, he was perfectly fine. How could he have committed suicide?"

"We are a noble family! If this gets out, what will happen to our reputation?"

They protested vehemently, arguing with righteous indignation.

Despite that, Elijah slapped them and cursed angrily.

"Such disrespect! How dare you spout nonsense in a matter of life and death! It was suicide! Just suicide!"

He spoke with uncharacteristic conviction.
