Declan smiled bitterly. Since he was familiar with the vicious art of abusing his power, he naturally knew what William meant.
However, he had no chance to reverse the situation. His only hope was that William could protect Talitha. He said, “It’s my fault. My daughter is innocent and I hope that you can help my daughter. I can tell you anything you want to know.”
“It’s about my mom!” William said slowly.
“I’m sorry about what happened to Madam Howard. I admit that all of this was planned by Raelyn and me.”
Declan did not dare to look at William and lowered his head. “I was obsessed with Raelyn, so I listened to her. She liked my brother, but he was in love with Natalie. She hated Natalie after she knew about his interest in Natalie. At that time, it was a coincidence that Savannah hated Natalie as well, so they agreed to work together. Raelyn told me about her and Savannah’s plan, so I arranged for someone to carry it out. First, I set a trap for your mother to fall down and I hired someone in the hospital to tamper with your mother’s medicine.”
“All of this was planned by three of you? There’s no one else?” William asked.
“Yes! I’ll explain it to you right now. Raelyn and I designed several plans at that time, but they were all pushed aside for various reasons. Until later, we began to contact a person.”
“Who?” William asked.
“Gurmisran Knight!”Declan spat. He thought that William did not know such a person, so he explained, “You probably don’t know him because he’s very low-key. His business is not very big, but he had a lot of connections. He was the one who helped me smuggle all my illegal drugs, including the drugs that were used to harm your mother.”
“Is Gurmisran the person that sourced all of your drugs?” William asked.
“No, but he knew the people from abroad and he was the middle man. He was only responsible for smuggling in the drugs.” Declan breathed heavily. “Speaking of your mother, Gurmisran was the one who gave me the instructions. At that time, Raelyn and I didn’t think of doing this, but Gurmisran suggested it when we had a private meeting. He said that it was too easy to kill someone because there was a drug abroad that was colorless and tasteless. As long as the drug was injected into the body, no one could find out the reason for their death. I pondered on his idea after I heard it. Then, I went back and discussed it with Raelyn. They agreed immediately after that.”
“After Gurmisran gave us the drug, Raelyn and I didn’t dare to act rashly. We used the drugs to kill an opponent who had grievances with us first. As expected, nothing happened. Raelyn felt relieved after this, so she decided to kill your mother with the drug.”
William nodded expressionlessly. “Do you know who Gurmisran works for?”
“No. Everything is kept under wraps because we’re in shady business. The goods were smuggled, so it’s impossible to sign a contract. The payment is paid with cash. The drug mule is different every time, so I wouldn’t know who the person is.”
Declan immediately added when he saw William frown, “I’ve always been careful when I’m doing things. I won’t be at ease if I don’t know the details of the other party. So, I investigated Gurmisran thoroughly and found that he was very close to the Floyd family.”
“Someone from my grandfather’s family? Are you sure?” William emphasized.
“Yes, he’s your uncle’s bodyguard and his name is David. I found that one of the main businesses of the Floyd family is medicine production, so I think the mysterious figure should be from the Floyd family. However, I don’t know who he is.”
Declan took a careful look at William. “Your uncle used to hang out in Misurton, so I have a bold guess. William, could Callum be the mysterious figure? I think your mother is also one of the successors of the Floyd family. Did Callum want to take all the assets for himself?”
William’s expression changed when he heard Declan’s words and he cut Declan off harshly, “It can’t be my uncle! He won’t be as dark and evil as all of you! He won’t do something as vicious as that!”
“Don’t be angry, William. I’m just guessing!” Declan explained immediately when he saw that William was furious. “I only know this much about the mysterious figure. You can start your investigation with David. Since you’re smart and meticulous, I’m sure you can find the answer you want from him!”
William looked at Declan coldly. “That’s all you know? I’ve already known all these things and I’ve already arranged for someone to keep an eye on Gurmisran. Do you think it’s logical for me to protect your daughter’s safety based on this?”
“I also know one more thing about Raelyn!” Declan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
“I know why Raelyn is not close to Archer, and why she is trying his best to scheme against Archer and Gavin!”
“Really?” William’s gaze became sharp. “Tell me about it!”
It was eight o’clock in the evening and Raelyn was still trying to convince Gavin.
After such a long time, Gavin gradually calmed down from his initial anger.
He was indeed very angry with Raymond and Archer’s attitude towards him, but on second thought, he realized that this was not a trivial matter.
This was a murder and it was a matter of losing his life. If Raymond really killed Talitha, what would he do?
Of course, it was impossible to send Raymond to prison because he wasn’t someone who would harm his own family members.
Since initially, he took sides with Raelyn’s family even though they were vicious, he could naturally stand on Archer’s side as well. Gavin would always do his best to be a peacemaker. As long as he was alive, he would never want to see his children turn against each other.
Gavin suppressed his anger and began to persuade Raelyn, “Raelyn, calm down first. Talitha’s matter will depend on the police investigation, so you can’t say whatever you want. If the police find out that Raymond is the culprit, I will definitely get justice for you.”
“Dad, will you really help me?” Raelyn asked.
“Of course, as long as the police have the evidence, I will never let him off. However, I only know the story from what you’ve told me, so I don’t know the whole truth. We’d better wait for the police to complete their investigation.”
“What if the evidence was destroyed by my brother?”
“You can’t say that. Your brother is just an ordinary person. How can he have the power to do such a thing?” Gavin told Arthur. “Meet Archer and tell him about this. Ask him to come over as well.”
