Chapter 146 He should pay the price
“I’ve said all I need to say, how Alan treats you you should also see for yourself,” Edith sneered, a contemptuous face, “their closest relatives so gone, if you still rely on Alan’s side, I really for grandma is not worth. ”
Lexie fiercely clutched the clothes on her chest, her heart hurting as if it were going to rupture out of her chest, and her shapely features were screwed up into shape.
“Is everything okay Lexie?”
Flora held her up, “I’m going to call the doctor.”
When Edith didn’t leave, Flora scolded, “What are you still doing here? Get out of here!”
Edith was startled and stumbled a step, “Just go, what’s the big deal, when you here I would like to stay?”
The sound of high heels disappears into the hallway.
Flora goes to call the doctor and is pulled back by Lexie.
“What’s wrong with you? Where are you not feeling well?”
Lexie clenched her teeth in a deadly grit, repressed even sign language can not be compared.
Halfway through the day, she spat out a mouthful of blood with a ‘wow’.
“Lexie!”
Flora blushed miserably.
The infusion needle was inserted into the vein, and the doctor slowed down the infusion speed and instructed, “The patient is too emotional now, and it is recommended to rest and not to be stimulated any more.”
“Yes I know, please doctor.”
“I should.”
After the doctor left, Lexie woke up.
Flora sat down on the edge of the bed, “Is everything okay?”
Lexie doesn’t nod or shake her head, her mind reeling from what Edith just said.
She begged Alan to save her, but he was indifferent. Not only that, he even called the police, which led to the kidnappers tearing up the ticket.
Grandma was indirectly killed by him, he is a murderer.
“It’s only human to call the police when something like this happens.”
Flora tucked her in and said soothingly, “Don’t take Edith’s words to heart, she’s eager to see you have a bad time and come to stir up trouble.”
[She’s right.
Lexie holds out her hand and hands Flora a USB.
“What is this?”
[When I was in L City, Alan took me to a party, and I met a girl at the party, and this is what she asked me to pass on to you.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Flora’s pupils contracted sharply and she looked at the USB incredulously, “Is that girl’s name Joanna?”
Lexie nods her head.
Flora was shocked for a while.
“Have you read the contents of this?”
Lexie shakes her head.
She hadn’t had a chance to find out what was in it since Joanna had given her the USB, but she guessed that maybe it had something to do with a deal between Alan and his group.
[It should be related to what I overheard last time].
Flora was slightly stunned, “Are you trying to get back at Alan?”
[It is only right to kill to pay for one’s life.
Lexie’s face is pale, a pair of eyes because of too many tears, has been red and swollen, but at the moment is like a pool of stagnant water, has not been able to provoke a ripple.
There was no way she could get Alan the punishment he deserved, but those deals could, and she was pretty sure Alan’s dealings with Mr. Jorden were illegal.
Flora gripped the USB tightly, “Don’t worry, I will immediately go to investigate, if it is really related to Alan, I will personally send him to the big jail.”
Lexie nodded her head with difficulty, but her heart was desolate.
“You get some rest and I’ll come see you when I have time.”
[Hmm.]
Into the night.
Alan had just arrived home when he saw the police car parked in front of the door.
“Mr. Howard, we received a report that you are suspected of smuggling, please come with us.”
The police officer in charge showed his ID and looked serious.
Diana shouted anxiously, “How is it possible? You guys got it wrong, right?”
Alan, however, did not change his face, as if he had expected such a scene, “Yes, but I hope you can have solid evidence, do not let me make this trip for nothing and waste my time.”
The police officer was slightly stunned, “Get in the car, Mr. Howard.”
As the police car whistled by, Diana yelled to Mr. Stanley for help.
Marry said, “Ma’am, the police are gone.”
Diana’s eyes calmed down almost instantly and she went inside and dialed a phone number.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is turned off.”
She slammed the phone on the sofa in annoyance, “Where did the person die to? He disappeared for so many days!”
Marry poured tea, “Madam, you should calm down first, I think things are not that serious.”
“Not that serious? How much more serious? I just received word that the Howard Group board of directors is ready to hold an end-of-year meeting, this time to discuss the redistribution of equity.”
“What are you afraid of? The young master is the major shareholder, no matter what, your position is untouchable.”
“This is not a good time to be a parasite.”
Diana was holding the sofa, her face was gloomy, “I thought things would go smoothly without that dummy, but I didn’t expect Edith to be a vegetarian, and that Lydia, always a thorn in my side.”
“You do not rush, there … is not no news for the time being? No news is good news.”
Speaking of ‘over there’, Diana glanced at her cell phone, which had been dropped on the couch, and thought about it.
Three days later, grandma’s funeral.
The sky was gray and drizzly.
Lexie was holding her grandmother’s posthumous photo, and Kevin was holding her umbrella for her, with half of his own shoulders soaking wet.
Patrick, and Flora are here, as well as Grandpa David.
The cemetery was arranged with Kevin’s help. The officiant in charge of the funeral placed grandma’s ashes inside, and several staff members were responsible for covering the grave.
“The family bowed three times.”
Lexie held back her tears and bowed to the photo on the tombstone.
In this life, I haven’t had the chance to repay my grandmother for raising me, and I can’t do it anymore.
“Lexie, be sad, grandma in heaven doesn’t want you to feel so bad.”
Kevin’s voice came from beside him, “Those who deserve to be punished will eventually get their comeuppance.”
“Yeah, hasn’t that Alan been arrested? People like him are definitely going to be in jail for life and never get out again.”
Patrick cursed viciously.
After Alan was taken away by the police three days ago, he has been interrogated about drug smuggling, a case Flora is personally responsible for, and the evidence inside the USB is enough to send Alan to jail.
Flora didn’t say anything, patted Lexie’s shoulder and placed the bouquet in her hand in front of grandma’s tombstone.
The sound of a car engine suddenly came from the entrance of the cemetery.
The black car stopped at the door and a figure got out with an umbrella and walked towards them.
Patrick was the first to see the visitor and his eyes widened incredulously, “Alan?”
Hearing these three words, Lexie was viciously stunned and turned around to look, her pupils contracting.
I can’t believe he came out!
