Lillian Rivers was wildly punching and shouting.
Dylan Drexler’s wife didn’t care whether she was right or wrong. She rembered Dylan Drexler wanted to kill her anyway, so why not strike first?
The two won joined forces and truly dealt ruthless blows to Dylan Drexler.
One of the won quickly found a good opportunity and struck Dylan Drexler hard in the groin with a stick.
Dylan Drexler curled up in pain imdiately.
The two won took the opportunity to hit and kick him in different ways, and Lillian Rivers even choked Dylan Drexler tightly from behind.
Dylan Drexler tried to resist strongly,
but it was too late.
His wife shoved the stick against his throat, and the two won combined all their strength.
Gradually, Dylan Drexler truly took his last breath.
His eyes, wide open in death, glared round and unwilling.
He died resentful, falling at the hands of the two most important won in his life.
The sound of police sirens soon echoed outside.
Vivian Sinclair and Julian Thorne had reached the banyan tree.
From a distance, they watched Patrick Powell and Dominic Archer rescue Mrs. Archer from the villa’s basent.
Then Dylan Drexler’s body was carried out.
Lillian Rivers and Dylan Drexler’s wife were handcuffed and led directly into the police cars.
The villagers finally crowded in to watch the commotion.
But before they figured out what had happened, Vivian Sinclair and the others were already driving away.
...
With Dylan Drexler’s death, the kidnapping case of Old Madam Grant and Mrs. Archer also ca to a close.
However, Lillian Rivers, the head of The Grant Family, was formally detained on charges of murder and inciting kidnapping.
Although it was ultimately proven that she and Dylan Drexler’s wife had acted in self-defense, they still couldn’t deny the multiple illegal acts committed during the abductions.
The prosecution filed multiple charges against Lillian Rivers.
The subsequent investigation and trial process would be lengthy, so Lillian Rivers was destined to spend the rest of her life in prison.
This was another severe blow to The Grant Family.
Once the news broke, The Grant Family’s stock plumted again.
The whole world learned of The Grant Family’s scandal.
The daughter-in-law kidnapped the mother-in-law and the family’s old servant.
Then, with her lover’s wife, she killed her lover.
No matter how much The Grant Family wanted to suppress such an explosive story, it was already out.
Once the news was released, everyone in Zethria was consud by the drama online.
The police kept releasing details.
Everyone was shocked by this sensational news.
The daughter-in-law not only kidnapped the mother-in-law but also her son and daughter-in-law?
The daughter-in-law’s quick wit allowed her to escape first and successfully call the police.
She even set fire to wild grass outside the kidnapping site to block pursuit, using her intelligence to help her husband and grandmother hide until the police arrived.
The police especially praised Vivian Sinclair.
But within half a day, the detailed news was retracted.
However, it had already spread everywhere online, and people were talking about Vivian Sinclair again.
They knew she was the faux heiress of the Sinclair Family, that her life was troubled, and that she was stunningly beautiful.
But they didn’t know she was also as wise as snow.
To think she could escape the kidnappers, call the police, set fires, and even hide again using her nimble mind.
These actions were hard for ordinary people to achieve; she certainly was a major credit to The Grant Family.
But why did the police withdraw the article?
Was it because of pressure from the Sinclair Family or The Grant Family?
After all, people in affluent families are always secretive; few are willing to expose themselves to the public.
But the more officials did this, the more excited people got.
So even leaked photos of Vivian Sinclair online.
Then people started revealing Vivian Sinclair’s educational background, so of her stories, and even The Grant Family’s private matters, like her last ti smashing a jewelry store in anger.
Yet sohow, all this information was quickly censored.
Within a minute of posting, everything disappeared automatically from the backend.
Anything related to Vivian Sinclair.
No information could be found online.
Just as people realized sothing was amiss, the police released another ssage.
This ti, the details were similar to before but included more comprehensive details.
Vivian Sinclair’s identity was labeled as ’Forr Daughter-in-law of The Grants’!
Theodore Grant flew into a rage upon seeing these news reports.
He called the police to question them, but they said this information was verified with the civil affairs bureau after soone raised concerns.
For accuracy, the police anded the news details.
Hearing this response, Theodore Grant’s phone fell right to the ground.
His body trembled violently before collapsing onto the floor.
When Austin Grant ca in and saw this scene, he hurried over to help his father up: "Dad! Dad, what’s wrong?"
Theodore Grant had just experienced the pain of losing his mother.
His son was also seriously injured and hospitalized.
The Grant Group was under siege from all sides, on the verge of collapse—
And the cause of all this was his wife of thirty years.
Even the fact that she had conspired with her lover to kidnap his mother was sothing he only found out when Austin Grant and Old Madam Grant were sent to the hospital.
Only at this mont did Theodore Grant realize how much he had failed as a husband, son, and father!
As the head of a family, he was almost watching helplessly as the Grant Family was about to be destroyed by his own hands.
How could Theodore Grant not be enraged?
A tallic taste surged up his throat, hard to swallow, and as Austin Grant helped him up, he stumbled towards the door.
When he staggered into Austin Grant’s hospital room, Austin had just seen the latest news.
When Theodore ca over and grabbed him by the collar, shouting: "You bastard, why would you do such a foolish thing?"
"Do you and your mother really have to bring down the Grant Family to be satisfied?"
"You are also a Grant, why can’t you do what is right for the family’s interests like I did back in the day, why!?"
"Tell , why must the Grant Family fall at our hands!"
Saying this, Theodore fell backward, and if Austin hadn’t rushed over to catch him, he would have hit the ground again.
"Dad, Dad, please calm down."
"You shouldn’t bla big brother for this."
"Perhaps, in big brother’s heart, love is still more important?"
"After all, he doesn’t want to repeat your mistakes with Mom, so pursuing true love... It’s sothing he can’t help, Dad."
Hearing these words from his younger son, Theodore Grant was at a loss for words.
He wanted to say nonsense.
He wanted to say, how dare they?
He wanted to say, shut up.
But he couldn’t say it.
Otherwise, he would lose his younger son.
The older son was already a lost cause.
Wallowing in emotional affairs all day long, a useless person.
So he brought his younger son back, hoping to place his hopes in him again.
But the younger son ntioned his mother, the love between himself and her.
Theodore Grant was already a realistic businessman, the head of the Grant Family.
The love in his heart had long been buried.
What he wanted was the stability of the Grant Family and the prosperity of the Grant Group.
But now everything was ruined...
Everything was gone!
Austin’s few words left him unable to even scold Austin Grant anymore.
Just as he was about to give up completely, letting Austin go his own way, Austin grabbed him desperately and said, "Dad!"
"It’s not true!"
"I’m not divorced from Vivian."
"Although we did process the paperwork, we’re still in the cooling-off period, and I haven’t planned to really get the certificate with her."
"I won’t divorce her."
"So I have no idea what’s going on."
"There’s a problem at the Civil Affairs Bureau, I need to figure it out."
"Dad, trust ."
"I’ve fallen in love with Vivian, I don’t want to be apart from her... How could I bear to really divorce her?"
As Austin spoke, his hands were trembling.
Seeing his expression, which didn’t seem fabricated, Theodore Grant sensed sothing was wrong.
"Is what you’re saying true?"
Austin: "About Mom’s situation... I’m very sorry too. As her son, I even feel ashad!"
"But regarding Vivian, I didn’t make a foolish mistake with her, Dad."
"I definitely haven’t divorced Vivian, there’s sothing fishy about this!"
Vivian Sinclair was also surprised.
Why did the police specifically make this change in the announcent?
Although she and Austin did complete the divorce paperwork, they were still in the cooling-off period, so they weren’t technically divorced.
So was this change on the part of the police a mistake or... ticulousness?
He thought it was Julian Thorne’s doing, so he specifically went to his study to ask him about it.
However, Julian, leaning against the door fra with arms crossed, innocently said, "It wasn’t ."
"Although I did make the complaint call."
"I just wanted the police to retract the notice, to reduce the online discussion about Miss Sinclair."
"I didn’t expect the police to give such a surprise."
Julian smirked as he spoke.
"Miss Sinclair, congratulations on your divorce."
