Chapter 628
She personally handed the candle to Justin, not thinking that any problems would occur.
“After you brought the candle back, did you light it up yourself, or did you hand it over to the
housekeeper?”
Taking a deep look at her as if guessing her thoughts, Justin’s lips moved a little, and he faintly said two
words: “Uncle Roger.‘”
Lily was silent.
Roger did not have to explain himself. He was deeply devoted to Wilfred and had spent many years
serving by his side. Nobody in the Lodge family would ever question Roger’s allegiance.
In other words, the doubts about the whole situation fell on the three of them. Since Lily and Justin
could not argue, Henry and Jonathan saw this as an opportunity to attack them. At that moment,
neither their guilt nor their innocence could be established with certainty.
“This is a conspiracy!” Lily’s hand clenched into a fist. How vicious!
It was not just as simple as framing. She wanted to know who tampered with the candle.
“I must find the real murderer who killed my grandfather!”
“Then what?” Justin asked calmly.
“Make him pay the price!”
“If they dared to do this, they would’ve already cleaned all the evidence,” Standing up, Justin took two
steps forward and pointed out the door.
He was pointing in the direction of the corridor, “You know, the Lodge family has never had the habit of
installing security cameras. Even if they did it outside grandpa’s room, as long as they weren’t caught
red–handed, there wouldn’t be any evidence.”
Looking in the direction he pointed, Lily frowned slightly.
Justin was right. This was a window of opportunity for the culprit, and they took advantage of it. The
most critical fact was that the culprit got the jump on them, and they were caught off guard as a result.
They would have found some clues if that were not the case.
“I remember something called trace science. I believe that there will be evidence as long as something
has been committed. I’ll find my grandfather’s real murderer!”
Justin retracted his hand and turned to face her, “Although there’s no conclusive evidence at the
moment, it’s not so hard to guess who that person is, right?”
Those words cut like a knife through her soul. She insisted that locating the actual murderer was her
priority, but did she have any clue as to who might be responsible?
Henry returned unexpectedly and invited many elders to participate in the discussion. The elders did
not speak out against Justin openly, but their bias was clear, and they could remove power from him.
The coincidence was more like a hoax.
However…
From the bottom of her heart, Lily did not want this to be the case. Still, considering they were
on the opposite side of the boat from Henry, they must not underestimate his capabilities.
Henry got expelled from the Lodge family at an early age. Even if she did not care for him, he was still
her uncle and a Lodge. Was he the one behind this murder, just to gain power over the family?
Lily did not want to believe it.
After a pause, she asked in a very soft voice, “Are you afraid of chaos in the Lodge family? Was that
why you took the initiative to hand over your power so quickly?”
If Justin continued holding on to power, a rift would form between the new group of people who backed
him and the elders who supported Henry. As a result, the Lodge household would be in disarray, and
the damage at that point would be immeasurable.
