“Mr. Richards, the person who went into Vivian’s bedroom could be the one who changed her will. We can arrest her and interrogate her now. Not to mention, that day, she pushed Madam to the ground. It should be her.” Standing next to him, Lomen recalled.
Hansen narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, “Is she still in Richards Manor?”
“Yes, she was Oscar’s sugar baby. Matteo was furious after he found out about it. He sent people to reclaim all his property and money. She came to Richards Manor in this desperate situation. Madam saw that she had been disfigured and had lost the ability to bear children. So, she took her in for a few days, hoping that she could turn over a new leaf. As we can see, she hasn’t changed even after all this,” Lomen reported everything that happened in the past few days after Hansen left, his tone was filled with indignation.
John at the side also nodded and agreed. “Madam is too kind. She shouldn’t have let that woman in.”
Hansen’s eyes narrowed. “Some people won’t learn unless they are taught the hard way. Jenna had already let her off. If she had learnt something from it all and left readily, I would have stopped the investigation for the sake of my grandmother. However, she obviously doesn’t know how to repent and is still so vile after coming in. Thus, this time, she won’t be able to escape the law.”
Speaking of this, he thought of Vivian’s will. Shifting his gaze to Lomen, he asked, “How long will it take for Grandma’s will to come out?”
“Mr. Richards, I’ve been hurrying them. I’ve even asked a finance manager who has a close relationship with the Richards Group for news. He said that the results will come out ahead of schedule. I think it’ll just be a matter of one or two days,” Lomen immediately replied.
“Well, Jenna has given her a chance and done her utmost to be kind to her. However, she did not repent but took advantage of it. Such a woman is trouble. This time, hand over all the evidence to the police. Let’s settle this once and for all. She cannot blame others. It’s just a matter of time before her free ride comes to an end,” Hansen said coldly with no expression on his face.
If Liya had promised never to enter Richards Manor again, then the Richards family wouldn’t have gone this far despite her heinous crime. However, she had chosen the path herself with her actions.
“Alvin, gather everyone in the Grand Eagle. From this day forth, I will clear every evil in this manor and return peace to our family.” Hansen hesitated no longer and gave orders to Alvin.
Alvin nodded and left immediately.
Hansen was about to lead his men down to catch Liya when he caught a glimpse, from his window, of Jordan coming over with two policemen.
He frowned and thought for a while before bringing Paul downstairs with him.
“Mr. Richards, you’re back.” When Jordan heard that Hansen had returned, he immediately came. When he saw him, he walked up to shake hands with him.
After they shook hands, he said, “Mr. Jordan, please take a seat.”
They sat down on the couch in the living room.
“Mr. Jordan, have you found the cause of Meroy’s death?” As soon as they sat down, Hansen asked.
“Mr. Richards, we have already obtained two fingerprints at the scene, but considering that Madam Vivian’s funeral is still ongoing, and the workload of any subsequent action will be heavy, we thought we’d come to you to ask what you think,” Jordan said frankly.
Hansen thought for a moment and questioned, “Mr. Jordan, if you have something to say, then just say it.”
“Well, Mr. Richards, I’ll not beat around the bush then,” Jordan said decisively. “In our line of work, there are no assumptions made. ‘Evidence’ is everything. We found two fingerprints on Meroy’s clothes and the knife handle. These are very important pieces of evidence. As long as we can find out who they belong to, it will be solid evidence. No one can deny it. So, we can directly arrest the murderer to be brought to justice.”
Hansen listened carefully before asking, “Mr. Jordan, based on your analysis, who do these two fingerprints belong to?”
Jordan smiled. “We analyzed the scene and checked the surroundings of the manor. According to the case report, it’s temporarily confirmed that someone who works or lives in the mansion committed the crime. However, evidence is crucial. Thus, to find out who killed Meroy, I need the fingerprints of those who were in the mansion that night, including Mr. Trevor. We were hoping you could provide them. This is quite challenging. After all, Madam Vivian’s funeral has yet to come to an end. Plus, there’ll be a memorial party tomorrow. The number of people will only increase. If we want to find the owner of the two fingerprints, then I’ll need your cooperation. That’s why I came.”
Hansen narrowed his eyes. His brows tightly knitted together as he remained silent.
Grandma was so generous and had done countless good things in her life. No one had expected that even her funeral ceremony would be disturbed by such matters. However, he believed that Vivian would understand and agree with him.
Soon after, he stood up and said decisively, “Well, close the clinic from now on and postpone Grandma’s memorial service for one day. Today, I’ll ask Maud to gather everyone and get their fingerprints.”
“Alright.” Jordan stood up as well. “If that’s the case, then I’m relieved. Sorry to disturb you. This must be disrespectful to Vivian. However, what we’ll be doing is also for the greater good. I believe that Vivian will understand.”
Pain flashed across Hansen’s eyes. Without a word, he strode outside.
“Ask Maud to see me.” As soon as he walked to the gate of Ink Garden, he paused and ordered John.
“Alright.” John nodded and turned to leave. However, as soon as he took a few steps, a gorgeous sightseeing car came in front of him. An electric vehicle followed closely behind with Maud in it.
After the electric vehicle stopped, Maud immediately jumped down from the back.
“Mr. Richards, Mr. Moore and Miss Jaqueline have come to mourn Vivian.” Maud came down and reported to Hansen loudly.
At that time, only Hansen and Norton were at the gate of Ink Garden. When Hansen heard the announcement, he was shocked. When he looked up, he saw Nuncio and his daughter Jaqueline coming down from the cart.
After being stunned for a moment, he hurried forward to greet him with a half bow.
“Mr. Moore, Miss Moore, thank you for coming.” Nuncio raised his hand slightly and said, “Hansen, my condolences to you and your family.”
Norton immediately handed them their sleeves and flowers.
“Hansen, I’m sorry for your loss.” Jaqueline took a step forward and comforted him in a soft voice.
“Thank you, Jaqueline.” Hansen nodded slightly at her and said to Maud, “Wait here.” Then, he took Nuncio and Jaqueline to his grandmother’s mourning hall.
When the guards in the room saw the Moore family coming, they all stood up to welcome them.
Nuncio and Jaqueline came to Vivian’s memorial tablet. Each of them solemnly bowed three times to Vivian and offered her flowers.
“Thank you for coming to Grandma’s funeral. This way.” Jenna respectfully curtsied at Nuncio and led him to the guest resting area where Trevor was stationed.
The Moore family were the Richards family’s important guests. So, she did not dare to irritate them.
“You are Jenna, aren’t you?” Nuncio asked after looking at her from head to toe.
“That’s right,” Jenna answered, lowering her eyes.
Nuncio looked at her again, paused for a second, and then looked away.
Jenna was uneasy and led Nuncio to Trevor’s side before politely walking away.
Jaqueline was standing in front of Vivian’s memorial tablet. Jenna was about to lead her to the guest area to sit down. When she looked up, she saw Jaqueline bowing to her. Hansen was standing beside her.
“Jaqueline, thank you for coming.” Hansen looked at Vivian’s portrait on the memorial tablet and felt bitter in his heart. Since he arrived, it was the second time he had come to his grandmother’s spirit tablet. For the following days, he might be so caught up in work that he did not have much time to stay until the burial ceremony.
“Hansen, you can defeat Yadriel no matter what. Grandma will be happy in heaven. My condolences to you and your family.” Jaqueline saw Hansen’s sorrowful gaze. So, she comforted him in a soft voice.
Hansen’s eyes turned to look at her as he nodded slightly at her.
At that time, Jaqueline’s eyes were full of considerate care, and her beautiful eyes were intelligent and clear.
Jenna, who was about to step here, suddenly halted, and her heart was in a daze.
Ever since her husband had gone to Capital City, she had been scared. That day, he had finally come back. However, the first woman he talked to was not her, but Jaqueline, who came from Capital City.
Jaqueline was dressed in a long ivory dress, looking stunning. Standing by his side, the scene was truly beautiful.
They were standing in front of Vivian’s memorial tablet and whispering something to each other, acting very intimate.
Her eyes suddenly teared up. Suddenly, she didn’t want to bring Jaqueline to the resting area anymore. She felt that her help was unnecessary and that she would even disturb them. This was an indescribable feeling, which made Jenna lose her self-confidence.
She lowered her head and turned around.
