Chapter 2055 Dead

Chapter 2055 Dead

Roxanne returned to the manor in utter exhaustion.

Lucian brought her a glass of warm water for her to drink.

Then, he served her a bowl of mushroom soup.

"Darling, what you need to do now is to stay calm.We will think of a way together to gather sufficient

evidence.Perhaps we can get some clues from Grant.We'll go and talk to him again tomorrow to make

him recall as many details as he can."

Lucian remained collected.

They could confirm that his mother-in-law had died from a premeditated murder by poisoning.Still, there

was no doubt they needed sufficient witnesses and physical evidence.

"Honey, first, we must get the case filed.To do that, I've decided to exhume the body and perform an

autopsy."

Tears uncontrollably streamed down Roxanne's cheeks again when she uttered those words.

Mom suffered so much when she was alive.

Unexpectedly, her peace has to be disrupted even after she has passed on.

All of this happened because of Grant! In Roxanne’s memory, before Winnie, the mistress, entered

their lives, her parents were already arguing all the time.

Grant would lose his temper for no reason and constantly criticized her mother.

Now, she realized Grant had been trying to force a divorce, but he had underestimated Roxanne's

mother's commitment to relationships and dedication to preserving the family.

Hence, in the absence of any other means to force Roxanne's birth mother to get a divorce from Grant,

Winnie resorted to malicious methods.

Lucian's face was suddenly filled with sorrow as well.

He had always harbored a regret in his heart for not having the chance to look after his mother-in-law

properly.

From that day onward, regardless of the resources he had to expend, Lucian was determined to bring

Winnie to justice.

The couple fell silent for a few moments.

Meanwhile, Elias and Sonya, who were upstairs, noticed Lucian and Roxanne had returned.

They went downstairs to check on them, wanting to remind them that the weather was cold and that

they should go to bed early.

Unexpectedly, they sensed their son and daughter-in-law's mood was off, so they hurriedly asked what

was going on.

Elias and Sonya fell into a daze after they heard Lucian's account.

They couldn't believe their daughter-in-law's birth mother had suffered such a tragic fate.

A few seconds later, Sonya exploded with rage.

"Lucian, no matter what, we must not let Winnie off the hook this time! That woman is too terrifying!"

Elias, a composed and rational man, grimaced.

"Lucian, tomorrow I'll seek help from a friend of mine who is a senior police officer.Perhaps he has

experience in this area."

Lucian and Roxanne nodded firmly.

Roxanne, in particular, felt a surge of strength in her heart.

With the support of her entire family, she had the courage to face whatever was to come.

The two elders comforted Roxanne for a while longer, telling her to leave the children under their care

so that she could deal with the issue at hand without worry.

They also reminded her to always discuss any problems she encountered with everyone in the family.

To reassure her parents-in-law, Roxanne gradually pulled herself out of her dispirited mood, nodded,

and urged them to go upstairs to sleep first.

"Let's go and take a hot shower for now.We'll continue working hard again tomorrow." This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Lucian held his wife's hand and slowly moved upstairs together.

At that moment, Roxanne’s phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from the Jarvis residence's housekeeper.

She frowned.

What's up with Grant this time? After answering the call, she heard the housekeeper's panicky voice.

"Mrs.Farwell, something terrible happened! Mr.Jarvis took his own life"

Roxanne's face froze in an instant.

Lucian also arched his brows as astonishment filled his chest.

They had actually anticipated Grant's death and were prepared for that day to come sooner or later.

However, they never expected him to end his own life at that critical juncture.

"Grant, you heartless beast! I just saved your life earlier today.I needed you to provide evidence, yet

you voluntarily took your own life.You're a coward and a sc*mbag! Do you intend to let my mom's

murder case slide just like this?"

Roxanne suffered yet another episode of emotional breakdown.Her tears gushed out again while she

hugged Lucian and sobbed in his arms.She wasn't sad.

Instead, all she felt was resentment as her hatred for Grant intensified.
