Chapter 457: The Faults in Causes and Consequences

Kent said, “Don’t rush to encircle them and draw a clear line to fight. Where should this line be?

Don't treat us as fools. My friends and I know things. Among you are Finn Meyer, the old fox's

accomplices. I don't care if you do other bad things, but if you've done anything sorry to the Hoyle

Family, the best is to confess yourself. We all know about your details. If you feel ashamed, I might

as well show you a clear way. You can explain the matter to Simon in private. I don't have much time

for you, so it's best to cherish it. It's been a long time since I use unreasonable method to punish

some obedient people. It's best not to make me feel that way. Otherwise, you'll be very unlucky.”

His words made the chaos instantly silent. Everyone looked at each other and didn’t dare to move.

Only those who were clear-hearted had their backs straight.

Finn snorted, “Aren“t you ashamed at hiding in the back?”

Kent paid no mind, “I'm used to keeping a low profile. I can do whatever I like.”

At this time, the banquet hall's door was barged open. Mrs. Hoyle, who they said she was

unconscious was accompanied by her children. She stomped in angrily, throwing a page of the test

result at Finn.

“Finn Meyer, such a shame how much I trust you. Is this how you return to me? Have you really

treated the Hoyle is dead? You're afraid that this old lady will get in your way if I'm not dead, so you

force to inject poison in me. I've really been blinded.”

Already foreshadowing ahead, the Meyer had already been mentally prepared for Mrs. Hoyle's

sudden appearance. This meeting was also speechless.

No amount of argument would help in front of evidences. Not to mention that Alan Hoyle had

come prepared, it would be impossible to let them go so easily.

Finn suddenly laughed like a maniac and vicious words spilled out of his mouth, “Yes. I did all of this.

So what? I do want to ruin the Hoyle. I do want to destroy everything Albert Hoyle cherish.”

Mrs. Hoyle was heartbroken, “Why? Why did you do this? Did Albert ever treat you wrong? He

treated you like his own brother, but you did this to him. Why did you kill him?”

"Why?" Finn laughed sarcastically. “Sis-in-law, you ask me why though you're not qualified to ask. If

you want to blame, you can only blame yourselves.”

Mrs. Hoyle frowned, she didn't even understand and so was her children.

“Speak clearly,” Aoba really wanted to kick this murderer. It was a shame how much he respected

him before. Even if he didn't like Ophelia, he still regarded him as his closest elder. It wasn't until his

brother pointed out some things that he just realized a person could hide so deeply. On ordinary

days, he was a loving elder. When he turned around, he was a cannibal devil.

Mrs. Hoyle looked torn by grief and heartbroken, “If only I had known you have this wicked

intention, even harming my husband, my son, and the inheritance my husband had worked so hard

for...”

Finn laughed at her until his entire face changed, “Yes. Of course you didn’t know, because you've

forgotten that you used to be an executioner with your beloved husband, killing an innocent

woman and the child in her stomach. That child, who had been more than seven months old, could

have survived as a premature baby. The doctor said he was a boy and he could come to this world

in two months. He would call me dad when he grew up. But you guys, you all dislike her. You

injected labor induction syringe into her body, watching her blood flow all over the floor and

hurting her to death

As soon as his words came out, it shocked the people present. Women suddenly gasped.

“What?”

"How could this happen?”

“How could it be so cruel?”

“Yeah. How could they? Two lives in one body..."

One after another blamed and they changed their target. This was a so-called injury for injury, which

was probably the case.

“You're spouting nonsense,” Ada sternly scolded.

It wasn't strange for her to believe that her mother had the view of superiority and inferiority. But, it

was still a bit difficult for her to believe that her parents would do such inhumane things. Especially

her father who always taught them to be kind with the weak when he was alive.

Finn laughed, “Nonsense? Ada, don't forget how did your first love leave you. Your mother still

won't recognize your brother's woman and the child she gave birth to. Do you think with my old

age now, I still need to make up such a sad story to win your sympathy?”

His past surprised Olive a little. She had guessed various possibilities, but she didn't expect that

there was such hidden secret in it.

Alan's face looked a little dark. Didn't know what he was thinking.

On the contrary, Mrs. Hoyle asked with a sense of enlightenment, “You mean, Maria?"

That woman who had been dead for more than 20 years was indeed a blur now. She thought that

that page had been turned over a long time ago, that it had drowned throughout the years

“You finally remember this name. Don't you feel guilty all these years? Do you sleep well every

night?”

Whenever he thought of this name, his heart ached. He would think of that blood-stained person,

pointing her finger at the murderer who murdered her. She was so in pain that she couldn't speak.

She slowly became cold in his arms and never woke up again.

At that time, he swore that he would make these executioners pay their due price.

He loved Maria. That was his purest relationship without any impurities. He loved that person and

he even wanted to marry her. But as his brother and sister, they disagreed. They found happiness

themselves, but they opposed him to have the same.

For so many years, his dreams were the shadows of her and the child. A little boy blurrily held his

hand and asked him sadly, “Dad, dad. Why didn’t you want me? Why didn’t you protect me? Why

didn't you save me?”

But what nobody thought was that after Mrs. Hoyle's initial dumbfounded, she suddenly stepped

forward and slapped Finn twice and hard.

Two sounds of a slapped face stunned everyone present, including Finn Meyer.

“Because it happened that we were by Maria's side when she was in an accident, so you conclude

that it was me and Albert who did it?” Mrs. Hoyle couldn't hide the deep disappointment in her

heart.

It turned out that the trust between brothers was so fragile.

Finn sneered, “Isn't it?"

Mrs. Hoyle slapped him again and Finn was furious. When he was about to lay a hand, two strong

men rushed out to stop him

"Yes, I admit that Albert and I had prejudice against Maria because she was improper. But even if

she stole the company's secret and sold it to a competitor, we didn’t embarrass her much for your

sake. We just asked her to resign herself and leave the company, giving her enough respect.

Because not wanting to spoil her beautiful image in your head, she begged me and Albert not to

tell you about this matter and we agreed too. So, until she was dead, you don't know what she had

done. Yes, I also admit that until now I haven't fixed my bad habits for looking an appropriate

match. Maria didn't have a good background, I also used this as an excuse to oppose you two being

together. But if you ask me who was pregnant back then to act on another woman, you might can

do it, but we couldn't. I was afraid that the wrath would fall on our child. For the child's good, it was

impossible for us to do it.”

Finn's eyes were red, “If it wasn't you, then who? Maria died with regret and she pointed at you two

at her last breath. Now she’s dead and there's no evidence. I'm unlucky for falling into your hands

Right and wrong could be made up by you guys. Maria wasn't the kind of person you said. It's

impossible.”

How a pure and busy woman in his heart could do such thing.

Aoba grabbed his collar, “Because of that woman, you killed my dad, caused chaos to Hoyle Group

and dragged innocent people. You've done a lot of bad things, but you still have the guts to hold on

your good image for so many years. Such a shame I ever respected you. Finn Meyer, you're not

worth it.”

Finn laughed at the sky, “Innocent? Those people weren't innocent at all. They're greedy. Do you

think they don’t have ambition? You think they don't want to climb up, you think they don't want to

have more? Greed is a human nature. Don't take all people too noble.”

Alan was calm. He saw where Ivy was standing, holding back the impulsive Dave who wanted to

rush over.

“Dave, be patient. Let's wait until the Hoyle and Meyer resolve their grudges.”

Dave was impatient, “I can't.”

Ivy said, “You have waited for so many years, why be impatient at this moment? At this moment,

Finn Meyer has lost his mind. Even if he tells you, it may not be the truth.”

"Fine, I'll listen to you,” said Dave reluctantly. At the same time, he yelled at the center of the scene,

“Mrs. Hoyle, do you know who the murderer is? Why don't you say it?"

Finn snapped out of it after he heard this voice, “Since you said that you guys arent the murderer,

how can you prove that the murderer is someone else?”

Ada said, “Mom, do you know something? What are you hiding?”

Mrs. Hoyle's gaze swept to Ophelia’s mother, then landed on Finn's face in the end, “Finn, don't

forget. Back then, when you liked Maria, who else enthusiastically pursued you?”

Ophelia’s mother's face changed slightly, “Sis-in-law, what do you mean by this?"
