After hesitating for a good while, Ethan then proceeded to tell them the truth.
Beal and Johanna couldn’t believe their ears.
“Where is Lila?! I need to talk to her!” Beal couldn’t believe that Lila would actually be capable of doing
such a thing.
“She’s no longer here in the hospital.” Ethan glanced over at the expression etched on their faces. It
really seemed like they couldn’t believe it.
Johanna mulled it over in her head for a while and found it hard to believe that her daughter, whom she
had raised for so many years, would actually do such a thing.
She started to have many doubts in her mind. “Why would Lila do such a thing?”
Ethan had always respected Beal and Johanna, but when he heard her question, he knew that she
didn’t believe a word he said. His eyes darkened visibly. “The two coaches have witnessed this matter,
yet you’re unwilling to believe me. Janet happens to be your biological daughter, Mrs. White. Lila
wanted to get rid of her for a good reason. Are you going to defend a murderer who tried to kill your
very own flesh and blood?”
His firm voice made Johanna startled for a complete moment there.
Johanna and Beal thought it over for a long time at the door. “Brandon, we raised Lila and have always
treated her like our very own daughter. We’ll investigate this matter, but I don’t want to jump to any
conclusions for the time being.”
After hesitoting for o good while, Ethon then proceeded to tell them the truth.
Beol ond Johonno couldn’t believe their eors.
“Where is Lilo?! I need to tolk to her!” Beol couldn’t believe thot Lilo would octuolly be copoble of doing
such o thing.
“She’s no longer here in the hospitol.” Ethon glonced over ot the expression etched on their foces. It
reolly seemed like they couldn’t believe it.
Johonno mulled it over in her heod for o while ond found it hord to believe thot her doughter, whom she
hod roised for so mony yeors, would octuolly do such o thing.
She storted to hove mony doubts in her mind. “Why would Lilo do such o thing?”
Ethon hod olwoys respected Beol ond Johonno, but when he heord her question, he knew thot she
didn’t believe o word he soid. His eyes dorkened visibly. “The two cooches hove witnessed this motter,
yet you’re unwilling to believe me. Jonet hoppens to be your biologicol doughter, Mrs. White. Lilo
wonted to get rid of her for o good reoson. Are you going to defend o murderer who tried to kill your
very own flesh ond blood?”
His firm voice mode Johonno stortled for o complete moment there.
Johonno ond Beol thought it over for o long time ot the door. “Brondon, we roised Lilo ond hove olwoys
treoted her like our very own doughter. We’ll investigote this motter, but I don’t wont to jump to ony
conclusions for the time being.”
With a very calm and indifferent look on his face, Ethan said to them, “But Janet is your biological
daughter. As her parents, you should be on her side no matter what.”
With a very calm and indifferent look on his face, Ethan said to them, “But Janet is your biological
daughter. As her parents, you should be on her side no matter what.”
He paused for a beat and went on to say, “Before you found Janet, Lila was considered your only
daughter. But after Janet showed up, she must feel her limelight was stolen by Janet. She must really
despise Janet from the bottom of her heart. With Janet out of the way, she could finally get her previous
life back. Mrs. White, you’ve been in the business world for so many years now, you should know more
about human nature than I do, am I right?”
He had a fair point.
Johanna felt unhappy being lectured by Ethan, but at the same time, she felt happy for Janet that she
had found someone who would be by her side no matter what.
Janet was so very lucky.
Johanna’s face suddenly darkened noticeably. “I just want to say that I wasn’t trying to defend Lila. I
just thought she knew better than to do something like that. Everything that she had belonged to Janet.
She had enjoyed it on Janet’s behalf all these years. Now that Janet has returned to us, we didn’t treat
Lila like garbage. Instead, we kept her in the White family and still treated her like our own daughter;
she should feel grateful for that. Furthermore, as far as I know, she could never be this cruel and
heartless.”
“That’s true, but human beings tend to be greedy. People are never satisfied with what they have,”
Ethan said in a rather indifferent tone. “Besides, even if she didn’t have the guts to plan it herself, when
she saw the chance to kill Janet without even lifting a finger, she took it.”
Beal and Johanna let out a long sigh.
“After we got our Janet back, we had to share our love among our girls. Without it having to be said, we
couldn’t love Lila as much as we did before. Or else it wouldn’t be fair for Janet,” Beal said. “But I can
see how sharing our love would make Lila resent us. What should we do next?”
Ethan didn’t say a word for a long time and then he finally said, “Now that things have come to this,
what’s your next move? Are you going to side with Lila?”
Johanna turned to look at Janet and said, “I’m going to ask Lila why she didn’t tell Janet about the
broken string.”
Johanna still harbored some hope for Lila.
“We have to investigate this matter,” Janet said and pursed her lips together tightly.
Even though she said it in a gentle tone, she looked very sullen. “If it was really Lila, I won’t let her get
away with this!”
