NovelEnglishChapter 251 Unexpectedly, Alexander didn't get angry, but he threw away the cigarette in his hand.
If Aveline wanted to leave, he wouldn't stop her. His voice csoftly, "Aveline, you better not lie to me." He stared straight at Aveline's back, expecting her to cback, but Aveline didn't even turn her head.

Alexander looked up at the starry sky above, covered by layers of clouds, only faintly seeing one or two stars. What exactly was Aveline's hidden purpose? He thought of her words that day, "If it wasn't Anthony who killed Layla, then who was it?" "Mr. Sterling, the madam has been gone for a while," Jordan, like his shadow, stood in the dark. Alexander sighed deeply, "Jordan, I want to re-investigate Layla's case." "For the madam?" Jordan didn't understand. The matter had already been settled, especially since it was the biggest taboo in Alexander's heart. It was not even allowed to be mentioned, let alone touched. Re-investigating it was like tearing open his still unhealed wound, perhaps even more painful than before.
"The incident happened suddenly, and although the evidence seemed conclusive, it was a decision made in my anger. For the past two years, I have been immersed in the grief of losing Layla, blaming her death on Aveline. If.." Alexander's arm trembled for a moment, "If it really wasn't Anthony, how should I face her?" Many things couldn't stand careful scrutiny, especially this matter, which was particularly sensitive to Alexander, and everyone would automatically avoid it.
"Mr. Sterling, there was evidence for everything that happened back then. You shouldn't overthink it," Jordan said.
Alexander looked at Jordan, "What do you think of Anthony?" "Setting aside this matter, he used to be gentle, courteous, and generous. He was a good father and a person with a great zest for life. If it weren't for the things that were found out, I would have thought he was @good person." "Yes, everything would have been different without that incident." Jordan noticed that Alexander's expression was not right, "Mr. Sterling, are you suggesting..." "From the discovery of the body to finding out the truth, how long did it take us?" "About a week." Alexander lit another cigarette, "Think carefully, don't you think it went too smoothly? It's like someone deliberately laid out a trail for us to follow and find all the answers." Jordan shook his head, "But those victims really did becmentally ill, and the suicides by jumping off buildings were not fake. Mr.
Sterling, it's understandable that you feel for the madam, but we can't erase the truth." Alexander looked at him, "So what do you mean?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I don't agree with a re-investigation. Mr. Sterling, you were deeply affected by that incident back then, don'tm know what kind of life you've had in these two years. Bringing up the old matter again will only reopen your wounds, and I'm afraid it will worsen your condition."
Jordan continued, "Let's take a step back. If it wasn't Anthony, and there really was a so-called mastermind, how long would that person need to plan? Is that person male or female? What was their purpose? If it was to separate you and the madam, that has already been achieved. But recently, Mr. Sterling's life hasn't changed, and no new people have appeared." Alexander rubbed his temples, exhaling a puff of white smoke in frustration.
Jordan patted his shoulder, "You need to get a good night's sleep. You've been too tired these past few years." "Fine, let's leave it at that. Let's go back," Alexander extinguished the cigarette and left the rooftop in a despondent manner.
Jordan was right. Every piece of evidence in each step wasconclusive, so what could go wrong? Why waste ton such matters again? If Aveline wanted to investigate, then let her investigate to her heart's content.
