Panic flashed across Charles’ face. Subconsciously, he looked at Andrew but was met with an ice-cold gaze, causing his heart to quiver.
“B*tch! You are talking nonsense! Andrew, whatever she said is false. This b*tch is willing to say anything in order to hurt me. You must not be fooled by her!”
“Are you afraid? I thought you were fearless?” Elizabeth laughed heartily. “Seeing that you’re so afraid, I’m relieved. This proves that you can’t run away anymore. It doesn’t feel good to lose everything, huh?”
“You b*tch! How dare you scheme against me like this?” He pounced on her angrily, but Mason stopped him.
“Don’t you dare hurt my aunt!”
“Your aunt? How dare a b*stard like you call her your aunt?” He was so angry that he spoke with no filter.
“This b*tch is not your aunt, she is your mother! She secretly had you with your dead father, and she pretended that you were her nephew and kept you by her side to carry on the Eich family’s glory. She is one of the most vicious b*tches in the world!”
“What?” Mason was stunned and turned to look at her in disbelief.
She smiled and said, “Mason, he’s right. I’m not your aunt, I’m your mother. I planned to tell you a few days later, but it doesn’t matter now that he told you. I got close to him because I wanted to help you, and I thought that he would be a big help for your future, but I didn’t expect him to be so vicious and shameless. How could he be generous to others when he’s already so cruel to his own son? I was blind!”
“You’re such a f*cking b*tch. How do you have the audacity to defend yourself after plotting against me with another man’s child? From the day you seduced me, your plan to kill my wife had already started, right?”
“Enough!” Andrew, who had been staring at Charles coldly, shouted suddenly.
“Andrew, I was confused before, but I really didn’t do this on purpose. This b*tch was behind everything. It was her plan all this while. I fell into her trap…”
Elizabeth couldn’t help but laugh out loud when he tried to take the blame off of himself. “Charles, stop blaming other people. None of us can run now, so let’s go to the police station to talk about it. I have evidence for everything that happened back then!”
When he heard that she had evidence, his arrogance disappeared but he still tried to explain himself to Andrew.
Before he could finish his sentence, several hurried footsteps came from the door, and fully armed policemen appeared. When they saw the policemen, Charles’ face instantly turned pale.
In the Howard family’s estate, Hayden was in a bad mood because of Savannah’s incident. He sat down on the sofa and read a newspaper in a sullen mood.
The headlines of the news were all about the Saunders family’s gathering last night. The more Hayden read, the more agitated he became.
He threw the newspaper aside and asked Lucas, “Where is William right now?!”
Lucas immediately replied, “He is currently in the Wolf Group.”
“After such a big thing happened, he didn’t even ask about me and went to the company? Does he not take me seriously at all? What was the point of raising him, huh? All of them have their own selfish ambitions and don’t give a d*mn about me at all!”
Lucas smiled apologetically. “Sir Hayden, William has been wronged as well. He’s the most innocent person in this entire situation, but you scolded him so fiercely yesterday. It’s not unreasonable for him to act like this…”
“You don’t have to speak up for him. It’s all because of him that the whole situation turned out this way. If he hadn’t been with Valeria, he wouldn’t have schemed against Savannah. This way, she wouldn’t have gotten divorced, and she wouldn’t have committed suicide to force me…”
He felt guilty as he spoke. When he thought of Savannah’s evil actions in the past, he stopped sulkily. “I’m going to take a walk in the garden. Alas, my life is so chaotic. I originally wanted to live a long life, but it looks like I’ll die soon out of anger.”
Hayden got up and walked towards the garden. When he reached the door, Lucas’ phone rang. He picked up the phone and hurriedly chased after Hayden. “Sir Hayden! Something happened to Sir Howard!”
Hayden stopped in his tracks and looked at Lucas, who was sweating profusely on his forehead. “Andrew accused Mr. Howard of murder.”
“What?” His eyes widened. Lucas bit the bullet and said, “Elizabeth woke up and confessed everything about the murder that happened back then. She even gave them evidence. Sir Andrew called the police, and Mr. Howard is now arrested by the police. The sergeant of the police station called to ask how do you plan to handle this?”
“What else can we do? Let’s go to the police station!” Hayden growled.
Ashley sent Raelyn away and stood outside for a long time before returning to the villa. She went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water and brought it to Savannah’s room. Frowning, Savannah leaned against the bed and sneezed continuously.
Ashley walked towards her with the glass of water in her hand and said gently, “Madam, drink some water!”
“Take it away!” She dismissed it impatiently.
“Madam, I know that you are upset now, but I overheard your conversation with Raelynn, and I think that she is right. You look so miserable now, so Hayden will definitely soften his heart when he sees you.”
“What do you know? You have no right to tell me what to do.” She did not look at Ashley at all.
“I just want to share your worries. Parents can never be cruel to their children. Take my mother for example, she has done so many things out there, but she has always been very tolerant of me. No matter what I do, she will not blame me. At most, she will scold me out of anger. But she would still cover up for me after she was done being angry. I think your father is the same as my mother.”
“Come on, don’t mention your d*mn mother. If she hadn’t made that mistake, I wouldn’t be in this position right now.” She interrupted Ashley impatiently.
“Madam, you were just unlucky. I think you have a chance to turn the tables, and I have an idea for you. If you think I’m right, you can listen to me. If you think I’m wrong, you can assume that I didn’t say anything.”
“Go ahead.”
“Even I feel sorry for you when I see you like this, not to mention your father. Use this opportunity when you’re ill to ask for forgiveness from him. If he doesn’t forgive you, you can threaten him with your life. He only has one daughter, so he would definitely give in for you.”
“Suicide? Are you kidding me?”
“Yes, suicide. You were framed by Ronald on your previous suicide, so we’ll turn the tables using it. I’ve even thought about the suicide method for you. When you go there, bring a rope and tie a fake knot. It’s fake, so you won’t actually die from it. I’ll show you how to do it. If they save you, you can tie it into a real knot. If not, you can untie it.”
As she spoke, she took out a rope and tied the fake knot. She stood on the stool and put her head through the loop, then kicked the stool away.
After struggling for a while, she reached out and pulled on the rope, and the knot came undone. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Ashley, Savannah sat up and said, “Okay, I’ll do as you say.”
