Chapter 666
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
âJustin!"
Henry roared.
"It doesnât mean you can disrespect your elders this way just because youâve held on to the family seal for two years! Weâre still uncertain about who the head of the family is before we know the truth behind your grandpaâs death!"
Justin nodded.
"Yeah, youâre right! We should know the truth about Grandpaâs death, so..."
He nodded to his assistant, who picked up the phone, hunched over, and began talking.
Vaguely, they could hear him say, "Okay.Got it."
Then he reported to Justin.
"Theyâre about three minutes away."
"what are you doing?" Henry stared at him.
"It doesnât matter who you bring here today! Weâre discussing an internal matter of the family today, so it should be settled within the family.We have the forensic report now, but if you are still going to deny it..."
"Youâre wrong!"
Justin interrupted loudly.He had his hands placed behind his back, looking fair and just.
"This isnât just an internal matter of the Lodge family! Since we're unclear about the true reason behind Grandpaâs death, this is an unsolved crime! Itâs a human life that was taken away, and Iâve decided to look past any personal grudges and choose the fairest way to find out the truth about Grandpaâs death."
As soon as he finished his sentence, a sharp siren sounded outside the hall, stunning everyone at the scene.
Henry and Jonathan's facial expressions shifted radically.
"You called the police?"
"Yes, I did! Letâs have the police investigate this case.If Grandpa was poisoned, what poison was used, and how was he poisoned? Who is the murderer? Weâll get all the answers to that soon."
While Justin spoke, he looked over at Lily.
The two met gazes and smiled.
Calling the cops was a decision that was made after Lily and Justin discussed things.
Although the Lodge family was powerful and had to be mindful of their image and influence in society, all of that was considered nothing compared to their grandfatherâs death.
Earlier, Lily thought something had gone wrong as she had not seen Justin or the cops.
âJustin, you unfilial brat! Youâre going to embarrass the entire family and ruin our reputation! The Lodge family is going to become the laughingstock of everyone in town! You've wronged the..."
Before he could finish his words, Lily interjected, "Unfilial brat? Does it make you guys filial for making false accusations just because Grandpaâs cause of death is unclear? Did you mention the Lodge familyâs reputation earlier? With all the chaos you guys have created, what reputation do we have left?"
Lily continued, "Itâs already the biggest joke that all of you are here, questioning the head of the family!
Didnât you insist that I was the murderer? Iâll stay here and cooperate with the police because I have nothing to fear! Only those who are guilty of something would be scared!"
Regardless of how much Henry and Jonathan were unwilling to be involved in the investigation, they could do nothing because the police were already there.
Now the forensic department would examine the real cause of Wilfredâs death, and all relevant parties would be brought back to the station for questioning.
Henry never expected Justin to get the police involved, even when it was at the expense of the familyâs name.
Before he left, he gave Lily a death stare.
"Lily, do you think that you have defeated me? Youâre still too naive."
On the other hand, he said nothing when passing by Justin.
Instead, he just stared at him fiercely.
Lily would also need to go to the police station, which was within her expectations.
She was also desperate to find out how her grandfather died and whether someone had murdered him!
She would not let the murderer off the hook, no matter what!
