Chapter 696 Phillip didnât look back, just heard the noise behind him. He didnât even bother to glance at Mr. Winters before ordering the people around him, âShow the guest out.â
Mr. Winters froze. He was like a fish out of water. He realized the worst possible outcome, Phillip wasnât planning on letting him off the hook, nor was he going to give his granddaughters, Noreen and Enid Winters, a chance to turn over a new leaf. The rest of the Winters clan would also be in the crossfire.
The Winters were toast!
Half an hour later.
News of Mr. Winters turning himself in to the police became the hot gossip.
Everyone was in disbelief. This wellâknown philanthropist, whoâd rubbed elbows with the McMillians for years, had done something wicked, almost offing Romeoâs father.
And Noreenâs parents, who had been waiting for good news at home, were taken aback by Mr. Wintersâ sudden surrender.
Apparently, Romeoâs father hadnât fallen into the pool by accident years ago but was pushed by Mr. Winters.
Patrick was sweating bullets. Before he could gather his wits, the butler hurriedly reported that the police were at the door to investigate a cold case. Patrick and Belinda Winters immediately thought of the little girl they accidentally hit and killed while driving on a mountain road years ago.
The girl came down the mountain with her grandmother after picking herbs. They were tired and were resting under a tree. The girl was about to fetch water from a nearby stream when Patrick, in a hurry to get home, was driving too fast and couldnât stop in time..
They wanted to settle the matter privately with the grandmother, but the griefâstricken woman refused any financial compensation, demanding that the driver pay with his life.
Learning that the woman and her granddaughter had been living on their own for years, Patrick and Belinda decided to run her over, too, and dumped their bodies off a cliff.
They thought they had gotten away with it, but now the cops were at their door.
âCould it be Romeo?â Patrick shivered.
Only Romeo had that kind of power. Anything he set his sights on, he got.
Now, the Winters were his prey. Once he had them on his radar, they were screwed!
Belinda nervously said, âCould it be Arabella? I heard from our daughter that sheâs not a pushover.â
Whoever it was, the Winters were in deeper trouble than they thought.
Before the cops hauled them off, Patrick got a call from the company about a tax evasion investigation. The stock price was plummeting, and people were jittery.
Soon, news of Patrick and Belindaâs hitâandârun and tax evasion became the talk of the town.
They were even rumored to be involved in illegal activities.
J Shortly after, Noreen and Enid hiring a hitman also became hot news.
Online public opinion was overwhelmingly against the Winters, condemning them for their inhumanity and outrageous actions.
And all of the Wintersâ distant and close relatives, whether in politics or business, were under police investigation.
âBella, good job!â On the phone, Kelly couldnât help but praise when she saw this news. She had no doubt that this was Arabellaâs doing.
Arabella, âThey brought it on themselves.â
They were the daughters of the Winters family, but they personally got involved in this, even trying to get away with it would be hard.
Kelly, âMaybe they didnât trust anyone else with this, but they didnât consider the consequences if things went south.â
In short, they were just plain stupid.
These two troubleâmaking sisters, the worst in history, had dragged their entire family into the abyss.
