Chapter 405 - 391: So She Was the Murderer

Hmph!

Old Master, oh Old Master.

You’re far too blatant in favoring your youngest son, aren’t you?

Don’t forget, the Johnson Family still has the matriarch holding the fort.

Once Gabriella Dyer had issued her instructions, she felt reassured and picked up the shopping bags to continue shopping.

It’s well known, Alan Johnson is the old man’s illegitimate son.

Under no circumstances could the matriarch tolerate an illegitimate child just coming to seize the Johnson Family’s inheritance rights.

That’s why Gabriella Dyer never worried about this point.

It’s a pity, Gabriella Dyer never did know what really happened back then.

Nor did she know the entanglements involved.

Of course, Lorelei and Soren Johnson never spoke about the events of those years either.

With Gabriella Dyer’s support, Alexander Johnson and the matriarch Lorelei soon received the news.

The first person to receive the news was the matriarch Lorelei.

"Matriarch, I heard that the second master has returned home, and the old master personally went to meet him, moreover, the second master’s first stop was Aethel, the old master personally went to Aethel too."

After receiving the news, Mrs. Morgan hurried over to report.

"Alright, I know."

Lorelei gazed thoughtfully out the window, paused, then continued to feed the parrot caged beside her with the grain in her hand.

It’s been so many years, Soren Johnson had never visited Aethel to pay respect to Rosalind. She’s been gone for so long now, there’s nothing left to fuss about.

Even if it were back then, if Soren Johnson had gone over, she wouldn’t have said anything.

Actually, Lorelei had always known that the reason Soren Johnson didn’t go back then was, above all, to save face for The Reed Family.

When it comes to matters of the heart, the more suppressed they are, the more they balloon, the more one misses, the more out of control it becomes.

Going once is good too, to speak of the matters of the past, to express the feelings buried deep in the heart for so many years.

"Matriarch, should we... go back?"

Mrs. Morgan asked again.

"There’s no need to rush, let’s wait a bit. What is yours, will always be yours; what isn’t yours, there’s no use forcing."

Lorelei continued to calmly and slowly feed the parrot.

"Alright."

Mrs. Morgan nodded, said no more, and directly stepped back.

Having followed Lorelei for so many years, naturally, she knew how Lorelei handled things, and she knew Lorelei’s temper.

Regarding the events that happened years ago, Mrs. Morgan was very clear about them too.

Mrs. Morgan knew that the eldest misses had always done very well, without needing anyone to remind her.

Otherwise, she couldn’t possibly have held the position of matriarch of the Johnson Family so steadily for so many years.

Also, in all these years, Soren Johnson had never been out searching for women outside.

In contrast, in Kyohai, the entire upper-class circle.

Which affluent family is so clean?

This time, surely the Johnson Family will not be peaceful again.

After all, that eldest miss of the Dyer Family is never like Lorelei, indifferent to worldly affairs.

Even the information was actively disclosed by the eldest miss of the Dyer Family, how could Mrs. Morgan not know?

Heh, sometimes, not fighting is the best fight.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Morgan smiled and shook her head, closed the door for Lorelei, and went downstairs.

On the other side, upon hearing the news, Alexander Johnson smiled calmly.

"Uncle is returning, that’s good, his return will also give me some relief and divert Gabriella Dyer’s attention."

"But, Eldest Young Master..."

On the other end of the phone, Jack Woods wanted to say more, but Alexander Johnson didn’t let him, "No matter, how is Chloe Simpson doing?"

Jack Woods reported over the phone, "Miss Simpson hasn’t shown any abnormalities, but she’s just not gone out; ever since arriving at the Johnson Family, she’s stayed in her room, with the servants delivering all three meals."

Alexander Johnson frowned slightly, "Good, I got it."

After hanging up the phone, Alexander Johnson put down the pen in his hand, walked to the door, intending to go to Chloe Simpson’s room.

But upon reaching the door, he retreated.

After all, this was the Johnson Family, not outside.

In the guest room, Chloe Simpson was staring intently at the email on her phone.

Her eyes reddened with a bloodthirsty hue, tears having flowed continuously for an hour, almost dry now, unable to shed another drop.

The email had been received an hour ago.

Inside was nothing except a short phone call recording.

The recording was of Selene Wilson instructing her subordinates to stage a car accident.

It was the accident that killed Emily Sterling, the date of the recording matched perfectly.

Chloe Simpson tightly clutched her phone, playing the recording in an endless loop.

This was her eighth time listening to this email, she could almost recite it now.

The heart ached beyond endurance ages ago.

Like being pierced by a thousand arrows, the arrows lodged in the heart.

Even after they were removed, many holes remained, letting the wind through, freezing cold to the bone.

Moreover, until this moment, she couldn’t believe her eyes.

No, more accurately, she couldn’t comprehend, couldn’t understand why Selene Wilson would do this.

Clearly, her birth and background couldn’t compare to that of the Wilson Family’s oldest daughter, and she could never be a threat to Selene Wilson.

Yet Selene Wilson still took action.

That too, when she and Mom had already decided to leave Kyohai.

But in the end, Selene Wilson still acted, Mom still died.

Ha! How wonderful!

Just wonderful!

She truly was sold out and still counting money for the seller!

Naturally blind, treating her mother’s murderer as a benefactor, even imagining Selene Wilson would help investigate who hurt her mother.

Who knew, she was the murderer herself.

"Mom! I’m sorry, I actually treated my mother’s murderer as a benefactor, don’t worry, I won’t let her go, never will I let her go!"
