Chapter 366 Uncovering My Wifeâs Secrets Preston immediately took a big step forward and stood in front of Lianne. In the past, it was always his sister who protected him. It would be his turn to protect her in the future. âWhat are you doing? Iâm just asking Lianne for her phone.â Jared looked at Preston with annoyance. He had to format Lianneâs phone and completely destroyed the will video right away. âWhat do you want my phone for?â Lianne asked as she took out her phone. Jared snatched it over and formatted it at once. âWhat are you doing?â Lianne asked. âWhy do you have so many questions?â After formatting her daughterâs phone, Jared felt as if a great weight had been lifted off his shoulder. Suddenly, Mia exclaimed, âDad, look at the news!â âWhat?â Jared asked. Mia immediately handed her phone to Jared. They had made headlines on different online news sites. âMadam Blake Has Made a Will, Preston Will Take Over Blake Corporationâ âMadam Blake Has Made a Will, Who Will Take Charge of Blake Corporation? âWinner of the Inheritance Dispute of Blake Corporation, Legitimate Son or Illegitimate Son?â âSatisfying! The Greatest Respect for Marriage Is to Leave All Inheritance to the Legitimate Childâ Jared clicked on the news and saw the reporterâs sappy narration of the Blake familyâs situation at great lengths.
There was even a complete video regarding the will attached in the middle. The reporter applauded:
According to sources, after Preston Blake lost his memory in a car accident six years ago, his IQ regressed to that of a child. But Annalise cured his amnesia in less than two months. She is indeed Master Quigleyâs proudest student⦠Jared glared at Lianne angrily. âYou sent the video to the press?â
âIs there a problem? The will itself is something that should be made known,â Lianne said calmly. She was extremely grateful to Annalise and Julian. Annalise had miraculously cured her brotherâs illness and stabilized her grandmaâs condition, Whereas Julian had acted ahead and immediately sent the video to the media, destroying all possible ways out of Jared. Otherwise, if Jared deleted the video, the situation would probably become complicated. Preston, Lianne, and their grandmother would be in danger. For someone as devious as Jared, he would probably burn them all to death, so he would be able to have Blake Corporation to his himself.
In the past, Lianne thought that no matter how evil Jared was, he still had a shred of conscience and humanity left with him. But after what had happened to her brother, she finally realized that he was heartless, and he was an animal. Even if there was no evidence, she knew that the beast was the one who caused her grandmother to vomit so much blood today. Although the video was made public, there was still a risk. Just like what Michelle had said, they could claim that the old lady was terminally ill, muddle-headed, and mentally unsound. Therefore, the will she made did not count. After all, the will had not been notarized. Jaredâs roots sunk deep in Blake Corporation and he had many supporters after being at the helm of the company for so many years, What they had to do next was to transfer their grandmother to a safe place before taking control of Blake Corporation.
They had already called Metropolis Hospital to pick the old lady up just now. Jared stared at the news again. The more he read it, the grimmer his eyes became. He wondered if there was any way to turn the situation around. âKill the old lady and deny everything in the video? âThatâs going to be very hard.
âBoth Preston and Lianne are around. It would be difficult for me to do anything to mom again.
âMoreover, the video has been made public. I donât think I can deny it. Everyone could see that although Mom is weak, she has a sober mind. âAnd a will doesnât need to be notarized to be valid as long as it is made according to the testatorâs will and is properly constructed and witnessed. âWhat should I do then?â Jared frowned. If there was no better solution, he could only think of a way to pin the blame on Preston. He had to find a way to frame Preston for causing the old lady to vomit blood and accused Preston of feeding her poison. âA person who tries to kill his grandmother is naturally not qualified to inherit the family business. âBut why would Preston want to kill Mom? âOf course, he wants to take ownership of Blake Corporation sooner. And why does he want to get Blake Corporation?
âWhich young man from a wealthy family doesnât want to be a successor? Not to mention that Preston is my ex-wifeâs child. He hates his stepmother and her children to the bone.â After figuring that out, Jared immediately took out his phone to take photos. He aimed the camera at the old lady and then at the carpet. Especially the blood that looked appalling on the carpet, he took a close-up shot of it.
Lianne knew to use the power of the media, and so did he, âA rumor told repeatedly will be accepted as truth.â All he needed to do was to get some people to spread the rumors, Brainless netizens would buy it and chew Preston out. If more and more people were talking about it, everyone would believe that it was Preston who wanted to kill the old lady. Seeing Jared taking photos, Preston followed suit. âWhat are you doing?â Jared asked his son irritably. âIâm probably doing the same thing as you are,â Preston said coldly. He had been through hell once six years ago. He wouldnât give Jared any chance to make baseless accusations against him again. No. Never! Now, it was payback time. Preston wanted to get back everything his father owed him, his grandmother, and his mother. Jared snorted and continued taking photos. However, Preston was calling 911. âHello, I want to make a report.â He wanted to strike first. Jared was probably feeling guilty. He immediately looked up at Preston and asked, âWhat are you doing?â âCanât you tell? Iâm calling the police.â
Preston then told the person on the other side of the phone that his grandmother had been poisoned.
After hanging up the phone, Jared scolded Preston. âWhat poison? Jonathan Woods failed to treat your grandmother. Besides, sheâs old and weak now. Thatâs why she had a relapse.â âI believe the police will investigate whether itâs a relapse or poison,â Preston said. Jaredâs heart missed a beat. He felt that Prestonâs attitude towards him was a bit strange. He couldnât help but wonder, âDid he find out what happened six years ago?â Outside, the siren of an ambulance was howling. Preston and Lianne glanced at each other and helped Grandma up. What are you guys doing?â Jared asked. âTake Grandma to the hospital,â Lianne replied. Judging from Grandmaâs current condition, sending her to Metropolis Hospital to convalesce would be the safest. âOkay, just send her to the hospital.
Iâll go with you.â Jared reached out to take Madam Blakeâs coat. Jared thought that since his mother was so tough, he might as well send her to the hospital for treatment first. If he could convince her that it was Preston who poisoned her, the old lady would probably change her will. Seeing that everyone was going to the hospital, Michelle walked to the coffee table and wanted to take the bowl away. Jared told her off, âWhat are you doing? Donât we have servants at home? Do you enjoy doing house chores so much?â He thought, âThis will arouse othersâ suspicion? How stupid!â âLucy, tidy it up,â Michelle instructed. Lucy had mixed feelings. She still could not figure out what went wrong as she was the one who had been feeding the medicine soup to Madam Blake. She didnât understand why the old lady suddenly coughed up blood.
