NovelEnglishChapter 674: Whitney's lips parted, but no words came. Her breathing turned shallow, her fingers curling tightly into fists. She tried to appear furious, but beneath the surface, she was trembling. Clenching her teeth, she scoffed, “Ha! You're really something, Khloe. Saying all this just to pushinto a corner? I see what you're doing. You're trying to turn Henrik against me. Henrik, don't listen to her!" As she spoke, her heart thumped madly.

Gloria wondered if Henrik had a different stance on the matter-perhaps he intended to keep Whitney under his control rather than turning her over.
"Search her. Take anything of use. Then hand her over to the police-they can charge her based on the evidence we already have." Khloe turned to face Henrik. "Don't worry; I'll uncover the full truth about your mother and get you the answers you deserve." Even if the truth cto light, Henrik would never be able to take matters into his own hands. The best course of action was to let Whitney face the law.
As Whitney was led away, Khloe turned back to Laura, comforting her and asking her to wait. Then, she walked beside Henrik towards another laboratory.
"I was deliberately trying to mislead her just now," Khloe began once they were in the laboratory. "When I modified the gene technology, I found a flaw in the original structure, but there was no serious problem. But when I developed the medicine, I realized something..." "Strange. If I had followed the original technology, the drug wouldn't have worked, but it wouldn't have been lethal either. Yet in Whitney's trials, every test subject died. That's when I started to suspect she had used additional substances. Then I remembered what you toldabout how the Dayton family had a long history of this genetic disease and how your mother's decline was so sudden that she never even had a chance to say much before she passed. That ledto Whitney and Sheri. They can't be true Dayton family members. That would explain why they were unaffected by the genetic disorder. And if that's the case, then what if Whitney had already started using your mother as a test subject back then? Her symptoms didn't worsen naturally-Whitney might have accelerated them through her experiments. When I confronted her just now, I watched her closely. Her reaction was subtle, but it was there. If we investigate the medication your mother took before she died, we can find out the truth." Henrik's jaw tightened as he processed everything. His lips pressed into a thin line before he let out a bitter laugh. "You've likely already figured it out. Now, all we need is proof. Last time, she invited you to the Dayton family's estate, and you wandered into the garden. Meanwhile, she used my mother's death as a diversion to throwoff. When I questioned her, she only mentioned that my mother passed suddenly and endured immense suffering. Then, without warning, she shifted the conversation to Morris." Even then, he had sensed something wasn't right. He had known Whitney was hiding something, but he had never considered that she might have orchestrated his mother's death.

Henrik was silent for a moment before he finally nodded.
Regardless of what the truth revealed, he told himself he would stay composed. From the beginning, From the his only wish had been for his mother to leave this world with dignity. Yet, the lingering suspicion that there was more to her death than he had been told had driven him to seek answers.
