On stage, Cyrus was still lying on the stretcher that was temporarily moved here. He could already feel his muscles while Melanie and his personal assistant were guarding him.Melanie could feel the chill down her spine. She knew that it was legal to have a taser gun here, but she didn’t expect that she would be a witness to an assassination, especially when the murderer was so close to her and Elder Gibson!She raised her eyes and looked at everyone that was on stage.Joseph was sitting in his wheelchair, remaining still throughout the entire ordeal.Charles was already dead, and his corpse had been moved off stage by his servants.The other two families left were the Murrays and the Romero. The former had a steelwork-focused business while the latter started their family fortune through medicine. The patriarchs of both the families were confused, started by Charles’s butler.“We’ve already called the police! If we can’t find the murderer that killed my master, none of you can l

Not long after, the police officers dispatched by the nearby station had reached the area and began their investigation. A coroner was with them.Under the police officers’ orders, all the guests that wanted to leave could leave without any issues as long as they were willing to queue up for a pat down and investigation.Due to the uniqueness of the case and the fact that the victim was a local wealthy man, not to mention that the witnesses and suspects were all local leaders, the police station had dispatched a large number of officers to investigate the case on the island, and all suspects couldn’t leave the island temporarily.About half an hour later, the coroner had completed his task, and he held the same opinion as the doctor on the island. The officer also found the taser gun buried in a flowerpot.“Calm down, everyone.”“We’ve already found the taser gun that was used for the crime. After investigation, the gun had only been fired twice when the crime took place. The micr

“Ms. Melanie, solitary confinement doesn’t allow anyone else to accompany...” the police officer cut her off with her frown.“I’m talking about something else,” Melanie said calmly.Her insistence surprised those who were watching. Even the police officers themselves were surprised. No one could have thought that the first person that could regain their composure was the young woman in front of them, especially when she was accused of being Charles’s killer with all the evidence pointing at her.How could she be so calm? How could she even think of exchanging terms with the police officers?“This is a murder and a scheme. While I’m the primary suspect, I request to be a witness to the investigation,” Melanie said.“You don’t have that right,” the officer refused.But Melanie still refused to give up. “From what I know, your country also has no right to allow all those people in the VIP seats to be there when you’re gathering evidence, right? You still allowed them to do so either

Joseph sat in the garden’s greenhouse. The angle he was sitting at allowed him to see Melanie inside the room. Only after a long while did he say...“Cyrus really likes his little disciple.”“That’s right. He’s been sitting by the door. He never left.” The butler agreed.At this time, a sharply dressed subordinate quickly walked over. He said something to the butler and gave him a document. The butler read it and his expression changed slightly.Before he could say anything, Joseph asked without turning his head, “The test results are out?”“Yes... Master Joseph.”“She’s not...?” Under Joseph’s eyelids, his eyes trembled.“No...”The butler walked over and put the results in Joseph’s hand. “Miss Melanie Jones is not the young master’s descendant... But someone has been tracking us all the way, wanting to sabotage the test results during the festivities. However, our people managed to avoid them without alerting them. The result is real... Master Joseph... Please don’t be sad...

The man had a bony face with very prominent cheeks. He had handsome features and his lips curved downward. His hair, brows, and sideburns were neatly trimmed, and even his collars were properly ironed.Melanie instinctively felt that he was probably the cleanest man she had ever seen in the past twenty-odd years.He was one of the Yorks’ heirs?Before coming to Medonia, she had read up on the Yorks. Because the Yorks had a hereditary heart condition, the family had always had few members.The patriarch, Joseph York, had one son and one daughter, but they both passed away when they were still young. They had left behind two young grandchildren for Joseph. One was said to be very violent, and the other quite hardhearted. She wondered which of these two he was...The high-ranking officer read the bloody report and called the police station’s laboratory, asking them to do the same test on the same sample.“Bring me the person that brought us the report with no silicon traces!” The hi
