Upon hearing that, Lila suddenly clamped her hand over her mouth. Just now, she was so busy

defending herself that she had unwittingly spilled the beans.

“… ..”

Lila was at a loss for words.

“I just forgot to mention it to her coach. Besides, why are you all looking at me? Even her coach didn’t

notice it!”

No one believed a word she said.

“You saw that her parachute was tampered with and kept that information to yourself. That’s a crime in

itself.” Ethan’s gaze was so piercing that it bored into Lila’s skull.

“Since you can’t give us a reasonable explanation, we’ll conclude that you deliberately kept it to

yourself.” Her reaction had given her away. Ethan had seen through her at a glance.

“Even if you didn’t do it yourself, you’re partly to be blamed. You knew the parachute wouldn’t work,

and yet you said nothing. It’s clear to us that you wanted Janet dead!”

Faced with Ethan’s aggressive questioning, Lila didn’t know what to say. Indeed, she saw that one of

the strings had been cut and retired, but she didn’t warn Janet.

“No, I didn’t… That’s not…” Lila was at a complete loss and burst into tears. She shouted, “I didn’t do it!

I wasn’t the one who wanted her dead! You can’t put the whole thing on me!” Her whole body was

trembling. She had never been considered a suspect before, let alone a murderer Ethan rolled his eyes

at her quibbling.

“You were sneaking around the equipment. Even if you really didn’t cut the string, you probably did

something to conceal it, which was why Janet’s coach didn’t notice that anything was wrong when he

inspected it.” Ethan had figured it all out.

“You… You don’t have any proof!” Lila glared at him angrily. She hated how smart Janet’s husband

was! He had put the pieces together so soon. Ethan indeed didn’t have any solid proof, so he couldn’t

do anything to Lila in the meantime.

Lila’s eyes darted all over the place in a panic. She seldom played dirty let alone got caught red-

handed; now she didn’t know how to get herself out of this situation.

At a loss, she stormed out of the hospital in tears. She had to find a way to solve this matter as soon as

possible. With Brandon’s connections, he would find the truth out sooner or later.

After Lila left, Ethan returned to Janet’s ward. When Janet saw him come in, she broke into a sweet

smile.

“Where’ve you been?” After hesitating for a few seconds, Ethan decided to tell her what he had just

found.

“No wonder she suddenly invited me to go skydiving with her.” Janet smiled bitterly.

On the inside, she was completely shocked. She had been having a bad feeling ever since Lila started

acting nice around her. But it never occurred to her that Lila would actually try to kill her. Ethan said

nothing

“Do my parents know?” Janet suddenly asked.

“Since Lila tried to hurt me, maybe she’ll try to hurt them, too.” Ethan pinched her cheek and smiled.

“You silly girl. She wanted to hurt you because you are your parents’ biological daughter and the future

heir to the White fortune. What good will come out of hurting your parents? And no, I haven’t told your

parents about it yet. I’m afraid they might not believe it was Lila and will try to hinder the investigation.”

Janet lowered her head.

“Of course they won’t believe it. Lila was their daughter for so many years…” Ethan wrapped his arms

around her comfortingly.

“If you’re sick of this place, let’s go back to Seacisco and I promise things will go back to normal.”

Plus, in Seacisco, Ethan could protect her. Just then, the door to the ward suddenly swung open and

Johanna stormed in.

“What’s going on? I won’t let you take my daughter away from me!”
