Chapter 916: Chapter 916 Difficult to Deal With_1 Chapter 916: Chapter 916 Difficult to Deal With_1 “I take it back,” Allen Rivera raised his hand, switching to another question. “Mr. Henry Jason, why did you go to the deceased’s house that evening?”
Henry Jason tried to keep his emotions in check, “Because we were getting married the next day, and Lina was very nervous, sothing like… pre-wedding jitters, fear of gain and loss. She said not having Sean Patterson’s blessing would be her biggest regret, so we went to Sean Patterson’s house to have a good talk with him.”
“Did you get his blessing?”
“No, he gave a good scolding.”
“What did he scold you for?”
“He…” Henry Jason paused, then continued slowly, “he… scolded for being a good-for-nothing, a poor teacher who wasn’t worthy of Lina. He also said…”
Henry Jason seed unable to continue and fell silent.
Allen Rivera asked, “What else did he say?”
Henry Jason took a deep breath before speaking again, “He also said, everything Lina eats, wears, and uses, was bought by him, that the money I make couldn’t even afford a pair of Lina’s panties. Compared to those rich businessn who are willing to spend a fortune on Lina, I’m not even worth a toe of theirs. He told to get the hell out…”
Mr. and Mrs. Jason in the spectator seats all changed their expressions.
The Jason family, a literary family, naturally couldn’t compare with those business tycoons, but they were certainly not poor. To be spoken to in such a manner was an imnse insult.
Allen Rivera continued to ask, “What did you do after that?”
Henry Jason replied, “I left there.”
Allen Rivera slightly raised an eyebrow, “After being insulted like that, you… simply left his house? Without any retaliation? Mr. Henry Jason, that’s really hard to believe. Didn’t you think about coming back to teach him a lesson?”
“I was indeed very angry at that mont, but Sean Patterson is a very important person to Lina! I didn’t want to make Lina sad or put her in a difficult position, so I chose to keep the peace and left!”
“Did you hear Sean Patterson making threats against Noelle Nichols when you left?” asked Allen Rivera.
“I heard,” Henry Jason said, “He ntioned that if Lina dared to step outside, she would regret it for the rest of her life.”
“What did you do?” Allen Rivera looked at him, “Did you still leave?”
Henry Jason nodded, “Yes, I didn’t look back. I left.”
“Mr. Henry Jason, you just said that you deeply loved Noelle Nichols, yet when your beloved woman was threatened, you remained indifferent? Even after Sean Patterson called you good-for-nothing, you were still indifferent; you left without doing anything?”
Henry Jason’s face turned extrely grim as he said sternly, “Yes.”
Allen Rivera asked, “You did nothing at all? This man trampled your dignity, threatened your woman, and you didn’t hate him? Didn’t want to kill him?”
“No!” Henry Jason replied.
“You drove off to cool down, and as you recalled Sean Patterson’s words, you beca angrier and angrier, until finally, unable to contain your rage, you drove back and killed Sean Patterson!”
“No! I didn’t!”
“Of course, you didn’t, because Sean Patterson wouldn’t drink the liquor you poured, so you conspired with that woman—” Allen Rivera pointed to the pale-faced Noelle Nichols, “you had her deceive Sean Patterson into drinking wine laced with sleeping pills, waited for the drug to take effect, and then placed him in the bathtub to stage an accidental death! Is that what happened?!”
“No!” Henry Jason stood up angrily, “I didn’t kill him! I didn’t!!!”
Allen Rivera ceased questioning and looked towards the judge, “I have finished my questioning, Your Honor.”
Henry Jason’s chest was still heaving with quick breaths, his face reddening with annoyance.
Purple Sumrs held her forehead and sighed softly.
Allen Rivera was indeed tough to deal with…
