His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)
Spoiled By Mr. Russell By Luminous Night Chapter 623Chapter 623 “Well said! If there’s another reason for my grandfather's death, I'll investigate the truth! So... “Lily looked around. “Let's report it to the police!” She pulled out her mobile phone as she spoke, “Since we all have different opinions, we might as well hand this matter over to the police. It's the fairest thing to do to get justice. When the investigation is cleared, Grandpa can rest in peace.” However, her arm was held against her before she could dial the number. Jonathan frowned and said solemnly, “You can’t call the police!” “That's right. You can't call the police.” The elders surrounding them all spoke up. Surprisingly, they all decided against contacting the police.
“The Lodge family is a plutocratic family with a century—old foundation. It would be a shame. for our family if something like this were to spread, regardless of who was responsible. The Lodge family must resolve things internally, and when we identify the guilty party, we'll give them a fitting punishment. No outsiders shall intervene!” Jonathan's words were the voice of most of the elders, and they all nodded in approval. “Granduncle Jonathan! This is a serious issue involving my grandfather’s passing rather than a trivial dispute. If someone intentionally did this to my grandfather, they'd be guilty of murder. How could you settle this within the family?” The fact that these traditionalists refused to call the police and instead sought to settle the situation personally caught Lily off guard.

Nonetheless, you're no longer a member of the Lodge family if you dare to call the police and ruin the hundreds of years of the good nour family has earned. Never cback to this family!” Jonathan glared at her with his stern words.
Lily glanced over and saw that everyone was silent as they agreed with this statement. She looked at Justin again. He remained mute, seemingly oblivious to the conversation, as if it had nothing to do with him.
“Justin, do you think so too?” Lily could not help saying.
“You and Justin can’t escape the suspicion, and his opinion is not qualified to use as a source. I'm now going to temporarily take charge of the Lodge family while | investigate my father’s death,” Henry adjusted his cufflinks and stated while keeping a straight back.
“Interesting. Justin took over the Lodge family a long tago. Do you think you can seize his power with just your words?” “Lily!” Henry scolded, “I still regard you as a member of the Lodge family. You better not be rude!” She wanted to say more, but a voice scolded, “Enough!” Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Justin slowly standing up. He straightened his body as his hands were hanging by his side.

“The truth of Grandpa's death will be revealed. No matter who's the real murderer, no one can escape the punishment!” He said affirmatively, word by word.
His eyes slowly slid across the crowd, glanced at Lily, and paused.
Finally, Justin's eyes stopped at Henry and met his eyes. “Uncle Henry, | understand that you don’t wantor Lily to avoid suspicion. Still, you just cback from abroad, so you don‘ know much about the company and family affairs. The company’s affairs are simple. A few vice presidents will take care of it for the tbeing. As for the family’s affairs...” “I can take over whether it’s the company or the family. Even a little boy like you can do it, why can’t I?” Henry said disdainfully.
