Chapter 651
"You're right.I'm a suspect, but I'm not afraid to be investigated."
Lily looked at Jonathan with a faint smile and continued, "Besides, when it comes to suspects,
everybody in this family has a possibility of being the culprit.
"Since you oversee our family affairs and are willing to seek justice for my grandfather, so does a
thorough investigation.Remember that the three-day due date will come soon.Tomorrow, you have to
give me a satisfactory answer."
Jonathan was shocked by Lily’s imposing manner and took a while to react.
No, she was most suspicious and should be the first to interrogate, but how could he be the one who
owed her an explanation?
"Lily! Stop quibbling.My reason for not making a big deal of this matter is entirely for the Lodge family's
pride.Now that you’ve spread the news and let everyone know about it.What is your intention?!"
Jonathan knocked his cane heavily on the floor, making a loud banging sound.
"You want an explanation?! Fine.You don't have to wait for the elders to come over tomorrow.I will tell
you now.The lab report has proved that the scented candles contained chronic poison.
"If you are sensible, admit your doings now.Then this matter will stay within the family while we
implement the punishment with family rules.Otherwise, we will imprison you!"
‘Tsk tsk, this is a direct accusation toward me.He even neglected the so-called evidence"
Lily thought Jonathan would at least hypocritically present some evidence, but instead, he wanted to
convict her with just a few sentences.
Lily laughed angrily.
"Sure, I don't like to be sneaky, so I'll go to court and put myself in jail."
"It's just..."
After a pause, she continued, "The police will not care about sensibilities as our family does.They only
deal based on evidence.I'm afraid that, ultimately, it's hard to say who will get arrested."
"Do you think you can escape your crime?"
With a cold snort, Jonathan seemed to have remembered something.He raised his eyes and looked at
Alexander.
"So, that’s why you won't listen to your elders.It turns out you have support and protection from
someone."
"I "
Just as Lily was about to refute, Alexander, who had been silent the whole time, spoke calmly, "Since
it's about me, I have to interject.Sir..."
Alexander smiled faintly.
Calling Jonathan sir instead of granduncle showed that he did not regard him as a respected elder.
"Sir, I’m a person who will be biased.I will be a supporter when I'm happy, especially for my woman.To
be fair, to respect my wife's wishes, I haven't intervened.However, since you said it, I will protect her.
"La Beauté Group is not only good in the beauty industry but also in entertainment and media.As for
the Lodge family’s recent events, how do you want the media to write about it?"
Alexander said so many words in one breath, and Lily had never seen him say such a long, threatening
sentence so calmly.
Although it was in a polite and modest tone, it made one feel cold shivers running down one's spine.
"W-Why you!"
Pressing one hand on his chest, Jonathan hammered his chest again and again with anger.
"All right, I see what you are doing, Lily! I didn't want to believe you could do such a vicious act on your
grandfather.However, it seems that it's not surprising for you to unite with an outsider to disrespect the
elders and do such a terrifying thing!"
"Why? You use your age as an advantage, but you’re the one being unreasonable."
Surprisingly, Alexander said such a sentence to him indifferently.
This sentence acted as a knife stabbing Jonathan's heart.He was so angry that he could not stop
coughing.
"You're old, so you should rest and take good care of yourself.People your age should look at fame and
fortune with an open attitude.Why bother with it?"
After Alexander finished speaking, he reached out to Lily and held her.
"As the younger generation, we will not disturb your rest.Goodnight, sir."
From his speech, Lily no longer needed to say a word.
Alexander was in control of everything as he was protecting his wife.Lily quietly followed him upstairs
and entered the room without saying anything.
