Chapter 202
Listening to discussions, Hackett's head hurt even more.
He looked at the bodyguard beside him. "Kick him out!"This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Got it!"
Hence, Ernest was forcefully dragged out of the scene by the bodyguards.
Ernest roared at Hackett, "How can you let down Mr. Barron's spirit in heaven! Mr. Barron died for no reason. How can you bury him like this? Do you think Mr. Barron would actually roll down the stairs for no reason? How are you going to take responsibility for the entire James family? Mr. Barron really doteil on you for nothing..."
Ernest's words were ear-piercing and hurt Hackett's heart.
He said Barron had doted on him for nothing...
How could he have doted on him for nothing? Hackett could not just let his grandfather pass away like that. It was just th he was a little scared now...
What if it turned out that Barron's death was really related to Valeria?
He knew that he shouldn't suspect Valeria like this, but everything was too coincidental. Although his rationality wanted to find out the truth, his intuition told him that he should choose to believe Valeria without any conditions.
Valeria was forced into a corner by Ernest. She saw that everyone present was sizing her up with strange really a murderer.
gazes as if she was
If she did not make her stance clear, perhaps rumors would be spread all over Alcomara by the end of tonight that she was the one who caused Barron's death.
Valeria turned around and looked at Hackett. "Hackett, you must find out the truth to comfort Grandpa's soul in heaven. You also have to prove my innocence. I haven't done anything guilty, so I'm not afraid of any rumors or false judgments against me."
With that, she left with the child
Hackett's dark eyes were slightly stunned. He suddenly felt ashamed of himself for doubting Valeria.
He had already warned himself countless times to trust Valeria, but still...
Cheryl, who was hiding outside the door, panicked when she saw this scene. If Hackett really wanted to investigate the matter, would he find any clues? What if he followed the clues and went after her...
This couldn't end like this. Cheryl felt that she needed to alter all the evidence and point it towards Valeria
Currently, Valeria was the most suspicious person since she was the first one to discover the body of Barron
Cheryl turned around with a sly look in her eyes. She muttered to herself, "Valeria, don't blame me for being ruthless. Blame yourself for being so unlucky that you happened to be the first person to discover the prime scene..."
In the cemetery.
The rain was pouring, and the sky was so gloomy that it seemed like it was about to collapse. It was suffocating
Hackett stood in front of his grandfather's tombstone with a black umbrella and looked at his grandfather's photo
He had been standing in this heavy rain for a long, long time....
In the distance, Tyler was also accompanying him with an umbrella. After serving Mr. Jarnes for many years, he developed some understanding of Mr. James's personality. At this moment he did not need to step forward to comfort him. He just needed to wait quietly. Mr. James's emotions needed to be self-regulated. No one else could help him.
Hackett stood in front of the tombstone and finally spoke to his Grandpa's photo, "Grandpa, I should go. I can't accompany you anymore. I still have a lot of things to deal with. I have to find out the truth about your death. I also have to manage the entire James Group," "By the way, I sent my mother to the sanatorium again. You want blame me, right? She's more suitable to stay there. It can also protect her."
However, no matter what Hackett said, there was no response from his irritable grandfather. The only response was endless silence and the sound of heavy rain.
The heart in Hackett's chest kept tearing apart. The pain was so immense that it was beyond any description of words.
He had already experienced the pain of losing his family twice at such a young age
The man stood in front of the tombstone for a while longer and said, "Il come and see you next time
He slowly turned around and left. When he passed by his father's tombstone, he could not help but chuckle. He felt so ridiculous.
He didn't believe in the so-called curse, but his loved ones died one after another. Was this really just a coincidence! He wondered whether his grandfather would meet his father in another world or not.
After his father passed away, his grandfather always told him that he would see his father in his dreams. Barron missed his father very much
Seeing Hackett leave, Tyler followed. "Mr. James, where are we going now?"
"To the clubhouse."
the zone. He thought
"Are you going to see someone?" Tyler was already in Mr. James was going to investigate the truth behind Barron's death.
Unexpectedly, Hackett replied expressionlessly, "To drink"
Drink??
as stunned for a moment. He thought he had heard it wrong. Didn't Hackett pull himself together? Why was he Tyler going to drink again?
Tyler coughed twice. Although he shouldn't mind Mr. James' business, he still had to remind him of this situation.
"Mr. James, now Barron... He's gone. The board of directors is in mess. They all want to usurp the throne. You have to pull yourself together at this time. If this continues, the shares of the company will be all taken away. Even Barron's spirit in heaven will be angered to death if he finds out." After saying that, Tyler felt that he had gone a little overboard
"Sorry, Mr. James...
Hackett stopped in his tracks. He glanced at Tyler who was behind him and said, "Do you think I don't know what you know?
¥470%
It's true that I am going to the club to drink, but it's not to drown my sorrows. It's to take back the shares of Grandpa."
During the few days when he was dispirited, his aunt had already secretly snatched the shares of his grandfather. She had even written a fake will and colluded with a lawyer.
Just because he didn't care didn't mean that he didn't know. For the past few days, his aunt had been arrogant and showing off while saying Barron liked her the most since all of his shares were passed to her as written in the will. No one understood how that happened. Tyler laughed out loud. "That's right, Mr. James! Don't you know that your aunt has been showing off everywhere these past few days? She used some shameful methods to snatch the shares. Yet she was still restless and tried to spread rumors everywhere." Hackett asked as he walked, "Oh? What did she say?"
"She said... Tyler was a little embarrassed to say it because it was too unpleasant.
"If you had any guts, say it."
Tyler cleared his throat and recounted the rumors that Hackett's hunt had created. They said that you might not be the James family's bloodline, so Barron refused to give you the shares. He had doted on you so much as a show for outsiders She also said that... you might be a jinx which caused your father's death. Now, you jinxed Grandpa to death... and '
Hackett was furious. "Enough. That's it!"
This auntie of his had almost described him as a monster out there. If he did not teach her a lesson, she would probably kick him out of the board of directors.
When Grandpa was still alive, Aunt had been complaining that Grandpa favored Hackett's father and him. Now that Grandpa was gone, she started to make up lies and spread them everywhere.
After Hackett got into the car, he said, "Go to the clubhouse and ask any good-for-nothing cousin to meet me there." "Yes!" Tyler sat in the driver's seat. He started the car and left the cemetery
