Chapter 1159
In Marcus’ mind, it was totally believable that Granger and his gang could do such monstrous things, “Can you give
me the details?
Gloom replied, “Once, a maid stumbled upon these images. She thought about going to the police, but was worried
that the evidence couldn’t take down the powerful Granger and that she’d end up being the one getting screwed.
So, she made a sneaky copy and quit her job with the Reese family, laying low somewhere far away, hoping to
expose Granger and his gang one day.”
Marcus asked, “Did you check out this person’s background?”
Gloom replied. We did. She’s clean, not one of Granger’s people.”
Marcus didn’t say anything else, but his hand clenched the stack of documents so hard he was about to make a
hole through the pages.

they’re legit. There have been rumors about Granger being involved in multiple deaths, but they’ve all ended up
going nowhere, which tells you the kind of connections Granger has. I was worried that acting prematurely would
tip them off, so I haven’t made this public.”
Marcus said, I’ll get someone on it. You give the documents to him and he’ll get them verified by the most
authoritative organization.”
Gloom replied, “Okay”
Marcus said, “If these documents are confirmed to be real, hand the evidence over to the police. We have to make
sure Granger and his gang get what’s coming to them”
Gloom replied, “Before we turn them over to the police, I’ll make sure they get a taste of a living hell”
Marcus nodded, then asked, “How’s things with John?”
Gloom replied, “John’s still clinging to the story that he didn’t mean to kill Cornelia, that he just accidentally hurt
Granny Rebecca and it’s got nothing to do with anyone else. Because he’s been cooperative and didn’t cause a
major fallout, he probably won’t get the death sentence, maybe just 20 to 30 years. If he behaves in prison, he
might even get out early.”
Gloom paused for a few seconds, then said, “President Hartley, do you think we should stir up some public opinion
on this?”
Marcus replied, “No! The less attention this gets the better.”
Marcus remembered when Granny Rebecca was buried and Cornelia mentioned that she wanted to meet the
murderer, but Marcus stopped her with the excuse that the murderer couldn’t have visitors. Because he didn’t want
to see Cornelia get hurt again.
Now, in order to get a harsher punishment for the murderer John by stirring up public opinion, it would definitely put
the criminal in his place, but it would also hurt Cornelia, the victim’s family member. Marcus would never allow
anything that could potentially hurt Cornelia to happen.

Marcus replied, “Keep a close eye on this matter and report to me every day.”
Gloom replied, “Okay”
Marcus said, “And do everything you can to find Clair’s real body”
Gloom replied, “I’m afraid that’s not possible.”
Marcus asked, “What?”
Gloom said, “I’ve compiled all their information, you can check it out whenever. They’re brutal, not just killing
people but also dismembering the bodies and burning them, spreading the ashes in the sea. It’s like they’re making
it impossible to find any evidence.”
Hearing this, Marcus, who was already frail, started to cough violently. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Gloom quickly yelled, “President Hartley!”
Marcus waved his hand, trying to control his cough, I’m fine.”
They continued to talk, showing no signs of stopping. Dr. Lester couldn’t stand it anymore, “You’re fine? You’re
coughing up blood and you say you’re fine? Marcus, there’s no need to discuss this now, you should rest and
recover first, then we can talk about this later.”
