Chuckling softly, Samuel remarked, “Zachary, you’re not that dumb after all!”
In sheer panic, Zachary said, “Master Hughes, you can’t do this. I work for you, so I’m one of your men.
Y-You can’t kill me. Besides, I’ve already been abandoned by the Jacksons. There’s no point in killing
me.”
“Regardless if you’re an abandoned child, you’re still a descendant of the Jacksons, and they’ll definitely
seek revenge if you die in the hands of others. Even if Mr. Newman tries to help, it may not be of any
use! Tonight, it was Matthew who kidnapped you here.
If you were dead, there’s no way he wouldn’t be implicated in this. That will work out fine, because
without doing anything, I can just sit back and watch the show. How interesting!” Samuel then laughed in
a shilling, cold manner which also carried triumph.
Trembling in fear, Zachary pleaded but it was of no use at all. Samuel’s men killed him and left his body
in the wilderness. Thereafter, Samuel and his men cleared all evidence and left under the blanket of
the night. This whole matter was executed without a single soul knowing about it.
It wasn’t until near his death that Zachary truly regretted his actions. Why did he pick a fight with Matthew
out of the blue? Now, he even had to pay with his life.
More importantly, and the most frustrating part was, he died without knowing exactly why, and his death
was even manipulated for the benefit of others. The next day, his body was discovered and the news
spread like bushfire throughout the whole Eastcliff with everyone talking about it.
The Jacksons declared that they would definitely find the murderer and make him pay with his life.
Subsequently, Jacob jumped out and told everyone that it was Matthew who killed Zachary.
He explained in detail the feud between the both of them, including the part where Zachary instructed
him to stir trouble at the construction site of Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. With that, Matthew would
have the motive for killing Zachary.
Immediately after that, someone revealed that it was Matthew who followed Zachary that night, and the
woman who was with him stood out and pointed out Matthew as the one who crashed into Zachary’s car
and took him away.
All the evidence pointed at Matthew as the murderer. In the early afternoon, he was taken away for
investigations and this topic became the talk of the town in Eastcliff.
Many members of the Jackson Family stood out and clamored for him to pay with his life, and Zachary’s
parents even made a scene at Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, demanding Sasha to hand over Matthew.
Because of this, work couldn’t be continued, and no matter how Sasha persuaded them, they refused to
leave until she gave them an explanation.
When her family heard about this, they all rushed to the company and Demi was the first to exclaim the
moment they stepped into the room. “Sasha, well isn’t your husband just amazing? I’ve told you to
divorce him, but you wouldn’t listen.
Great, now he has killed someone and the whole of Eastcliff knows that we have a murderer as an in-
law! Our family has been innocent all these while but with this, our reputation is completely tarnished!”
With reddened eyes, Sasha cried, “Don’t say things like that, Demi! How could Matthew be a murderer?
He must be innocent and everyone else must have wronged him!”
“Wronged?” Demi snorted. “Are you saying everyone in Eastcliff ganged up to accuse him? How could
he be wronged when so many people saw it and there’s concrete evidence? Sasha, you’re the only one
who trusts him!
Take a closer look at him—pointy mouth, an ape-like chin, triangular eyes and high cheekbones with a
vicious look in his eyes. It’s only a matter of time before he becomes a killer! With such a person at
home, just the thought of it is enough to send chills down my back.”
James added in a disappointed tone, “I’ve never thought that he’s such a person! Sasha, I don’t expect
you to marry into a noble family, but your husband should at least be a simple and kind person!
Look at him now, and he can even commit murder! T-This is terrifying! This won’t do. You must divorce
him this time!”
