Albert had been found and was on his way back to Suham.
Charles actually chere to confess at this time? Lyra and Malcolm looked serious at the stime, looking at Charles without saying a word.
Seeing that they didn't speak, Charles walked up to Lyra who was sitting on the sofa, "Madam, you cto the villa two days ago and talked toearnestly. | said at the tthat | would consider it, and now I think about it clearly. Can you trust me?" Lyra can see his eagerness for approval, and nodded, "I believe you. Charles, you have been with Grandpa for most of your life.
No matter what decision you make, it's for Grandpa's good." With her words, Charles breathed a sigh of relief.
Before Albert was sent back to NIB, Charles explained everything, from his perspective, without reservation.
"Mr. Ryan and Mr. Albert were indeed there on the day of the accident. Not only that, but they were sitting in the car that caused the Mr. Denis’ accident..." On the day of the incident, Ryan and Albert went to socialize together and drank a lot of alcohol during the dinner.
Albert wanted to call a chauffeur to drive them home, but Ryan insisted that he could drive back. Seeing that he was not obviously drunk, Albert agreed.
He didn't expect that Ryan would inexplicably detour a long way while driving.
He was speeding on the road and the vehicle lost control. When turning at the intersection, he happened to hit the luxury car of Malcolm's parents. Because it hit the most dangerous and weak position on the side of the luxury car, Malcolm's mother, who was the on co-driver, died on the spot.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt even caused an oil leak outside the fuel tank in the car, causing an explosion. Malcolm's father suffered multiple burns all over his body and died on the way to the hospital.
Rudolph led someone over. It was Albert who was intoxicated in the driver's seat, and both suffered minor injuries.
Rudolph was heartbroken, brought his two sober sons back to the family meeting for questioning, and even punished them based on the family rules.
However, for Rudolph, his eldest son and his daughter-in-law could not be saved.
Ryan insisted that he was drunk and had an argument with Albert on the way.
Albert said that Ryan drove the car, but Ryan refused to admit it, and it was indeed Albert who was in the driving seat at the end.
Albert, who was almost drunk and in blackout, couldn't tell if he did it himself.
But in any case, both sons must be responsible for this incident.
The car accident had a huge impact. If he let this go on, he was afraid that it will ruin the future and life of the other two sons.
After all, they were both his sons. Rudolph had to use all the connections in the military to suppress the news of the car accident and use other methods to finally calm the situation.
And he made his two sons out of the matter.
Charles sighed as he spoke, looking distressed.
"Mr. Rudolph really can't do anything about it. He can't directly see his three sons die because of a car accident, and let the whole Crana see it as a joke of the White family." Malcolm frowned. His expression was very serious, and he seemed to be strongly dissatisfied with the truth form Charles.
"Regardless of whether Ryan or Albert planned this incident, there should always be a truth to the matter. However, grandpa did not choose to find out but chose to cover up his two sons, and used family rules to exchange my parents’ life." Even when he asked about it, he was still covering up his two sons and lying to him.
Malcolm's jaw line tightened and he snorted, feeling extremely disappointed.
Lyra sensed the change in his mood, reached out and held his clenched fist, comforting him silently.
Charles felt very sorry, "Mr. Malcolm, Mr. Rudolph actually has felt guilty about this for a long time. He feels guilty for Mr. Denis and his wife, and he is also feeling guilty for you, so he brought you to his side and helped you stop the conflict in the clan. And he sent you to NIB." "Before you were incapable of mastering the White family, he never chose to retire, holding the family firmly and not giving it to Mr. Ryan or Mr. Albert, and other elders in the clan who had voices. He just helped you to hold the position of power, and handed over this to you when you have the ability." Malcolm sneered sarcastically, "You don't have to say it so righteously. Grandpa just wants to cultivate the man in power with his own hands. Otherwise he will not leave his men in NIB to monitor me. He pretended to be sick and calledhome, and then let the planted agent secretly send Travis away." "Mr. Malcolm, Mr. Rudolph was in charge of the family and had to maintain the balance. He has always loved you, the eldest grandson. It's not using, let alone trying to support a puppet. Mr. Malcolm, he...” "All right." Malcolm's face looked heavy and he interrupted, "Charles, you've been out for too long. Go back before Grandpa wakes up." It was an obvious eviction order, and Charles had no reason to stay.
There was a bunch of things in his heart that he wanted to justify Rudolph, but obviously Malcolm couldn't hear him no matter how much he said now.
There was no way. Charles could only bowed and left.
Before walking to the door of the office, Charles grabbed the doorknob and said a little unwillingly, "Mr. Malcolm, | hope you can understand your grandfather. He's also suffering. When you're in his position, it's really hard to choose." Malcolm said nothing and his expression was cold.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCharles could only sigh, pulled the door open, and left Malcolm's office.
As Charles was gone, Lyra wrapped around Malcolm's strong waist from the side, resting her chin lightly on his shoulder.
Her fingertips unreasonably pushed aside his clenched fists and intertwined with his palms.
"I know grandpa is the closest elder to you. You can't understand sof his actions and even feel disappointed, but it doesn't matter. You still have me, as well as Spencer and Momo. We're your loved ones in this world." Her gentle and peaceful voice was like a good remedy to calm Malcolm's inner turmoil.
Malcolm turned his head to look at her and kissed her between her eyebrows, "Rara , don't worry. I'm not really disappointed. But according to Charles, Ryan and Albert, who is the culprit in the car accident, and this needs to be found out.” His breath was heavy. His black eyes turned to watch the corner, "I actually let the murderer who killed my parents live unharmed for so many years under my nose. This time, no matter how grandpa objects, | will let the real murderer pay for it." Feeling distressed, Lyra touched his face. It was impossible to say that he was not disappointed. The person he once regarded as the only closest and trusted family, turned out to be an accomplice to the accident of his parents.
For him, this may amount to betrayal.
Charles’ sudden arrival and confession did not stop Malcolm from investigating the truth of the incident.
At 3pm, Ted took someone to pick up Albert, who had been sent back to Suham, to the interrogation room of NIB.
Malcolm put on his coat and was ready to question him himself.
Lyra took the initiative to help him fasten the buttons, carefully buttoning the uniform one by one.
He took the opportunity to hug her, and lowered his head to ask her soft lips, as if he would not get tired of sticking to her.
"Okay. You're going to do business soon but you're not serious at all.” Lyra frowned and nudged Malcolm's shoulder lightly.
Malcolm hugged her tightly and promised the trip she said last time, "These things will be over soon, and then we will go out with Micah and Abigail." Lyra laughed and said, "It will be fun to travel far away with Micah and Abigail, because Micah is cold and arrogant.”
