Chapter 45
Heston looked serious. Before he could say anything, Cassie asked, “Why are you here?”
I had an appointment with Aunt Anne and Uncle Lucas to discuss studying abroad, but I heard on the way that their car rolled off the mountain road and exploded.” Julia cried bitterly. “How could this happen? I was just talking to Aunt Anne this morning, and now this!”
The car rolled off the mountain road and exploded?” Heston frowned and asked, “Who told you that?”
Julia sobbed, “They called me before the accident, saying they were on the winding mountain road. I checked the license plate number released, and it really was their car. Grandpa, you must stay strong!”
“Shut up!” Heston shouted angrily with his eyes wide open. If Julia hadn’t been a girl, he would have slapped her.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Grandpa, it’s true!” Julia cried.
“Are you sure?” Cassie asked.
“I am sure,” said Julia, annoyed.
She thought, ‘By now, the Murphy family should have received the death notice. Just now, Cassie and Grandpa seemed to be hurrying to go out. Why are they acting like they don’t know anything?”
If she hadn’t gone to the garage to confirm that the tampered car had been driven out, she might have doubted it too. “What are you sure of?” At this point, Anne’s voice came from the living room.
Julia was stunned and looked behind Cassie.
Anne and Lucas were standing there, completely unharmed..
“You… Julia’s face was filled with shock.
“I’m not dead. Are you disappointed?” Anne asked coldly.
“What are you talking about? Isn’t it bad luck to talk about death so early in the morning?” Heston asked sternly.
by you to the company today. I have some old scores to settle, Cassie said, holding
“Grandpa, I won’t be able to accompany Heston’s hand tightly.
“Cassie, this is another one of your tricks!” Julia snapped, pointing at Cassie, after coming to her senses.
She used to think that Cassie was still the same idiot she had always been.
It wasn’t until she saw yesterday’s photo that she realized Cassie had been playing dumb and hiding her true strength all along.
If it weren’t for the waiter who saw the man entering the private room and took a photo out of curiosity, she might never have known Cassie’s true colors.
“What does this have to do with me?” Cassie sneered. “How did you so naturally assume that it was my parents’ accident when you heard about the crash on the mountain road?”
I heard about it!” Julia quickly composed herself. “It seems someone played a prank on me. Since Aunt Anne and Uncle Lucas are fine, I’ll take my leave now,”
“What’s the hurry?” Cassie asked.
At the same time, Larry appeared at the door.
Julia stiffened.
She took a deep breath, turned around, and asked, “Ca**ic, what are you trying to do? Isn’t it enough that you got someone to rape me? Now you’re trying to kill me to silence me?”
“You’re spouting nonsense!” Lucas came out in large strides. “You haven’t answered my question yet. When did Anne and I invite you over? Didn’t you call saying you wanted to jump down the building and ask us to rush to the West District within an hour?”
Julia’s face turned pale, but she still stubbornly said, “Can’t I have made a mistake?”
“What a coincidence. If we had left as you said in that tampered car this morning, we’d probably be dead by now!” Lucas said angrily. “Julia, you’re so young, but you are so vicious!”
“I’m vicious?” Julia said, looking at Lucas. “Uncle Lucas, you can’t accuse me of something I didn’t do to cover up Cassie’s involvement in getting someone to rape me. I know nothing about your tampered car Even if your car had problems, what does that have to do with me?”
“That car was tampered with by someone!” Lucas was furious.
This morning, he and Anne were in a hurry to leave, but they were stopped by Louisa as soon as they reached the garage.
At first, the two of them insisted on leaving.
It was Cassie who came downstairs and stopped them, telling them about the car being tampered with.
“The garage surveillance is broken,” Cassie said slowly.
Julia rolled her eyes and sneered, “So there’s no evidence, right? I consider you my family, given you raised me for a few years. But since you’re so shameless in covering for Cassie, we might as well clear things up today!”
She knew that with things at this point, it was impossible to live peacefully with the Murphy family. Therefore, she decided to be upfront about it and break all ties with them.
She was confident that she would not suffer a loss.
She crossed her arms and shoved past Cassie, striding in
Cassie patted her shoulder where she had been hit.
“Has this girl gone mad?” Heston’s face darkened.
“Almost.” Cassie smiled and signaled Louisa with her eyes.
Louisa immediately understood and left.
Anne’s face was pale, and Lucas was furious.
“Mom, Dad, relax” Cassie patted their hands
“Why are you all just standing outside?” Julia, now sitting in the living room, impatiently shouted towards the outside.
Cassie walked in unhurriedly.
“Julia, why are you so impatient?” She glanced at Julia and picked up the small remote control on the coffee table. “I said the cameras in the garage were broken, but I didn’t say there was no evidence. Why are you so eager to reveal your true colors?”
Then Cassie smiled at Julia-and said. “By the way, you have no right to do that.”
“Shut-Julia was about to tell Cassie to shut up.
But she suddenly stopped because the TV screen lit up, and a high-definition video appeared before her eyes.
The time was 3 a.m., in the dead of night when everything was sent. A skinny man quietly approached the garage, tin**ed. with Lucas’ car for a while, and then quickly left.
Julia’s face turned pale, full of shock, Obviously, she hadn’t expected Cassie to have this.
Damaging the surveillance cameras and arranging for someone to tamper with the car were all done on a tight schedule, spur-of-the-moment decision. She thought no one had noticed, but… how did Cassie find out and even set up another device to catch her in the act?
“Looks like justice has prevailed! Recently, I’ve been very interested in plants and insects, so I set up several cameras in the garden at night. By a stroke of luck, this was captured Cassie clicked her tongue and shook her head. “My parents are good people, and even heaven doesn’t want to see some people’s evil plans succeed.
“What does this have to do with me? Is that person me?” Julia quickly calmed down and sneered, “I could say this was a self- staged act by your family to frame me.”
