"I'm here." Donald held me in his arms and said, "don't worry. I'm here with you."
"Send this evidence to the police station..." I said in a trembling voice, using up all my courage.
I'm really going to kill my family
I didn't expect that my parents were really behind all this
I used to give them too many chances to turn over a new leaf. This time, no matter what, I can't be softhearted
The bodyguard immediately sent the phone to the police station.
"I'm going to sue them..." I can feel the coldness all over my body. "I don't mind being a criminal's daughter, but I can't let Grandpa die so wrongly..."
"Okay." Donald stroked my hair and said, "no matter what you want to do, I will support you."
"Can our wedding be postponed?" I raised my eyes, with tears in them. "Or... Don't make it public? If others know that you married the daughter of a criminal..."
"I don't care what other people think..." he said gently, "you are you. You don't have any other name or halo... I love you just because you are your. It has nothing to do with whose daughter you are... Even if your parents are criminals... Trista, don't give yourself any psychological pressure."
"But..." I cried in his arms. I was so sad to know that grandpa died like this.
"Cry loudly. I'm the only one here and no one will hear me." He gently stroked my hair and said, "cry if you feel uncomfortable. Just cry."
I broke down and cried out
Ashley's pov
When I got home, I couldn't wait to find my parents. "Guess who I met today?"
"Who?" Just as they asked this question, there was a sudden sound of neat footsteps outside the door
A group of police officers rushed in. The head of them said, " Mr. Leonard and Mrs. Swift are involved in a homicide case many years ago. Please go back with us to assist in the investigation."
"Sir, did you make a mistake? How could my parents be involved in the murder case? Is there any misunderstanding?" I tried to smooth things over with a smile.
"Mr. Leonard and Mrs. Swift are suspected of collusion to murder the founder of the Moon group, Mr. Troy. Now someone has come out to testify against them. The evidence is solid. Please cooperate and go back with us to assist in the investigation."
What???
I looked at my parents. How could grandpa's death have anything to do with them!
When parents heard the name of Troy, their faces turned pale all of a sudden
Seeing several policemen coming forward and catching them, I was flustered. "Dad, mom, someone must have set you up in secret. Don't worry. I will ask the Mortimer to save you. He went out and hasn't come back yet. You must wait for me! Don't talk nonsense before the lawyer arrives!"
"Ashley, please send someone to save us. Ashley, I don't want to be in jail anymore!" Her mother burst into tears.
"Ashley, find a way to save us. I'm waiting for you..." my father panicked.
"Don't worry!" I followed them out and watched them get in the car. "I will save you out. Don't be afraid. Don't talk nonsense when you arrive at the police station. Don't admit what you haven't done..."
The car left before I finished my words
The exhaust of the car choked my face. I coughed a few times and hurriedly dialed the number of Mortimer, but no one answered. I thought for a while and found that my parents were suddenly wronged. Did it have anything to do with Trista?
Yes, that's right. In this City A, only Trista doesn't like us. Emos can't have anything to do with me anymore. The only possible person to hurt them is Trista
I dialed the number of the Mortimer again, but to MY surprise, the person who answered the phone was the assistant of the Mortimer. "Miss Trista, the Mr. Mortimer is in an emergency and is dealing with it. I saw you call several times. What's up?"
"I have something urgent to talk to him. Can you let him call me back after he finishes his work?"
"Of course. Mr. Mortimer likes to hear your voice the most." The assistant smiled.
"By the way, can you help me check the whereabouts of the next car? The license plate number is five oneS. I want to know where it is now."
"Wait a minute. I'll tell you the result soon."
"Thank you."
I hung up the phone and waited anxiously. Ten minutes later, my assistant called me -
"Miss Ashley, the car you said is parked in front of A newly opened French restaurant in City A. I think the driver should have dinner there."
"Really?" "Thank you! By the way, don't forget to ask the Mortimer to call me back!"
"You're welcome. I'll convey it."
I hung up the phone and asked the driver to send me to the restaurant. Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived, Donald and Trista were ready to leave.
Seeing Donald's car start, I rushed to stop the car without hesitation. If the driver hadn't braked in time, I would have been knocked away!
Seeing the car stopped, I rushed to the back seat of the car and asked through the window, "sister, why did you do that? Why did you wrongly accuse father and mother of murder? Grandpa died of a heart attack at that time, and his bodyguards can prove it in the park!"
"The police will judge whether they are murderers or not. If you have any objection to the result, you can go to the police. Now we are leaving. Please leave. Don't delay our schedule."
"Even if you can't let go of the past, you can't put such a big blame on our parents. I know you have always blamed them for defending me and caring about me. In comparison, they love me more. But you can't do such a thing !"
Trista's POV
"I say it again. Please leave." I don't have the patience to waste on her.
However, Ashley didn't want to leave. "Ashley, if I divorce Emos because of him, how long will you hate me? I can't be with him anymore. If you have anything to do with me, just target me alone. Don't involve father and mother..."
"There is no audience here. Why do you have to act? " I
"Sister..." she looked at me tearfully. "It's not easy for Dad and mom to raise us up. You can't put such a big crime on them... Do you know what the police station is like? Dad and mom are all powerful people. Once they are imprisoned, what will others think? How will dad and mom see people in the future?"
"……"
Debbie was rendered speechless
"If everything goes wrong in the end, others will laugh at us..." Ashley wiped her tears and stole a glance at Donald. "You said that dad and mom killed Grandpa. Do you have any evidence?"
"The evidence has been sent to the police. If you are interested, you can use your relationship to go to the police station. But I think... Even if you don't go, the police will call you soon."
"What do you mean?"
"Before Heidi passed away, he told me that the cause of my mother's death had something to do with you . I will apply for investigation with the police. If the truth is really like what Heidi said, you can't escape the blame. And the person who kidnapped me last time has been sent to the police station now. You'd better have nothing to do with these two things, or you will be in jail."
With her eyes wide open, Ashley took a step back in disbelief
Ashley's POV
The death of Trista's biological mother is indeed related to us, but how can I admit that
Trying to squeeze out a smile, I said with a pale face, "how can you believe a servant's words? Sister, do you want to send the three of us to prison so that you are satisfied? What benefits will it bring to you? The Swift family's reputation is damaged. Once the news that you and Mr. Donald get married is spread out, it will only embarrass Mr. Donald..."
"You don't have to worry about that. If you have time to think about it, you'd better think about how to bail your parents out and defend yourself!"
"Don't forget that they are also your parents!"
"I don't have such kind of family."
"Sister... Even if you don't want to admit, the relationship between Dad and you is always undeniable.."
"If you have time to talk nonsense with me, you'd better buy more heart disease medicine. They have a weak heart now and need it very much."
"Sister..."
"Drive." Donald suddenly asked.
The driver stepped on the pedal and didn't care that my hand was still on the window. I couldn't react at once. I was dragged forward by the car speed. By the time I subconsciously loosened my hand, I had fallen heavily to the ground.
It hurts!
I held her injured wrist and it was bleeding! This Donald is as cold-blooded and ruthless as my sister. It seems that my good image just now is useless. He can't be moved at all!
What if my parents really kill Grandpa and were in jail , what should I do ?
No, Trista still wants to find out the real cause of her mother's death. If the police find out the truth of that year and know that my mother and I conspired to kill her mother
So far, only Mortimer can save me!
Thinking of this, I called the Mortimer in a hurry. Unexpectedly, the assistant who answered the phone this time sounded flustered. "Miss Ashley, something happened to the Mr. Mortimer. He can't answer your phone now."
"What's wrong with him?"
"At this noon, Mr. Mortimer crashed into Mr. Donald's car and lost two hundred and seventy million dollars. I didn't expect to be sued by Mr. Donald."
"Just because you crashed into Mr. Donald's car?"
"No, it's not like that. The annual sales of ten coal mines owned by Mr. Mortimer only amounted to ten million. After working for five years, he didn't have much money left except for expenses and investment. But now he suddenly took out two hundred and seventy million. The higher ups suspected that his money had an unknown origin. After investigation, they confirmed that the Mr. Mortimer was involved in tax evasion and had been arrested..."
"What did you say?" My brain went blank when I heard this.
What should she do?
I had expected the Mortimer to help me, but now he suddenly fell . Who should I turn to?
