Chapter 708: Chapter 708

Old Master Lancaster knew Julian Lancaster was in a bad mood and wanted to find a place to vent. He thought it was best for Julian and Nina Sinclair to separate for now, and he couldn’t be bothered with other things, so he got up and headed to the room upstairs.

Seeing that Old Master Lancaster wasn’t in a good mood, Old Madam Lancaster decided not to oppose him.

She said, "Your grandfather is really upset. I’ll go check on him."

With these words, Old Madam Lancaster also stood up and left.

In the living room, only the Lancasters and Justin Leighton, along with his daughter Heidi, remained.

The atmosphere was particularly tense and oppressive; no one spoke.

Julian Lancaster looked at Heidi Leighton and the family doctor, his voice deep and ominous. "Murder, bribery—are you planning to confess on your own, or wait until the police arrive to talk?"

"Julian... Julian Lancaster, what are you talking about?" Find the newest release on novel⦿fire.net

Heidi Leighton hadn’t changed out of her clothes, having wanted to see Nina Sinclair’s downfall.

She hadn’t been delighted for long after seeing Julian and Nina part ways before Julian had focused his attention on her.

At this moment, Heidi Leighton looked disheveled and was visibly agitated. Upon hearing Julian Lancaster’s words, she vigorously shook her head and said, "I didn’t do that. We accidentally fell into the water together just now."

Heidi Leighton’s explanations were weak and ineffective. She had had a significant altercation with Nina Sinclair earlier, providing a clear motive to harm Nina.

Seeing Heidi Leighton panicking, Justin Leighton placed a hand on her shoulder, signaling her to calm down. He then looked at Julian Lancaster and said, "Young Master Lancaster, is there some misunderstanding here? Heidi could never do such a thing; perhaps you should investigate further."

Julian Lancaster glanced coldly at Justin Leighton, "You probably don’t know that there are surveillance cameras all over the Lancaster estate, do you?"

With those words, both Justin and Heidi Leighton froze, their faces turning pale.

When they discovered that Nina Sinclair had gone alone to such a remote and deserted place, they were secretly delighted, thinking their opportunity had finally come.

They never imagined that the Lancaster estate would have surveillance cameras.

Could it be that there was footage of Heidi Leighton pushing Nina Sinclair into the water?

Justin Leighton initially wanted to argue, but now he didn’t know what to say and stood there awkwardly.

His expression was clearly that of someone who knew the inside story.

Julian Lancaster couldn’t be bothered to say much more to the father and daughter. After today’s events, the old master would absolutely not consider them again, and the matter of them targeting Nina Sinclair had to be properly dealt with.

He intended to make sure they disappeared from between him and Nina Sinclair forever!

Julian Lancaster didn’t say any more and took out his phone to make a call.

Justin and Heidi Leighton’s eyes were filled with terror upon hearing Julian Lancaster making a phone call. Heidi looked at Justin miserably, not knowing what to do.

Could it be... was she going to go to jail?

Once proud and aloof, she couldn’t imagine herself ending up in prison; it would ruin her life!

Heidi Leighton was almost at the brink of collapse, completely losing her senses, seeking help from Julian Lancaster.

She pleaded pathetically, "Julian Lancaster, please let me go. I know I was wrong."

Heidi Leighton cried pitifully, looking as delicate as a flower after a rain, enough to make any ordinary man weaken with sympathy.

But Julian Lancaster merely gave her a cold glance, feeling no sympathy whatsoever for Heidi’s pitiful state.

Shortly afterward, the sound of police sirens echoed outside the Lancaster estate.

Upon hearing the sound, Heidi Leighton became terrified—the police had actually been called to arrest her!
