NovelEnglishJustin gently patted Ryan's bulging arm to calm him down.
“l know you have been looking into your father’s death for years. The biggest suspect on your list has always been Liam, but there
hasn't been any proof. Now that Selena is asking for a divorce tied to many conditions, she must have a fatal hold over Liam. Even
if Liam has nothing to do with your father’s death, what she has must be enough to make him spend the rest of his life in prison.”
“It has to be Liam. | can’t think of anyone else other than him.” Ryan mused over his father’s death, and the pain ripped his heart
apart, his eyes turning red.
“He and my father traveled to South City for business. The aircraft had a gearbox malfunction over the ocean and propelled into
the waters, plunging deep into the sea. Though my father wore a life jacket, the sinking happened too quickly, and the closed cabin
sealed his escape. In the end, he and three otherpany executives, as well as the captain, lost their lives. Liam was the only
one who survived the disaster.”
Justin pressed his lips together.
“Do you believe in such coincidences? Why was Liam the only one who had a lucky escape?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRyan slammed his palm on the table heart-wrenchingly. “My father had worked all his tfor the Hoffman Group, and he was
passionate about charity, turning the family business into a legitimate one. Why would God take the life of an outstanding, diligent,
and kind man? | doubt God would be so cruel.”
Justin grew solemn. “No one but Liam survived the ordeal. It is strange.”
“I know, right? It's not like Liam was God.” Dean was furious.
“Liam was only able to get out of the cabin because he had a special hammer to break windows with him. He broke the window
and swam to the surface.” Yasmin’s gruff voice carried a tinge of resentment.
“After the incident, Liam explained that he had the habit of keeping this specific tool with him and argued that he was not a good
swimmer to save Mr. Finn too. Apparently, none of them would have survived if he had gone to save them. No one would believe
that horrible excuse. Liam held sway in the business and took advantage of Mr. Hoffman because he was young and without
anyone to rely on.”
Justin fell silent for a moment and took a deep breath before uttering, “Even if Liam seems guilty, the incident happened too long
ago, and we don’t have proof to pin it on him. My mother’s case is an example. If Linny had not recorded Shannon's confession in
hiding, and if we hadn’t found the maid who once served my mother to testify, | wouldn't have avenged my mother.”
Ryan gritted his teeth, his eyes bearing bitterness.
“But Selena could be my breakthrough.”
Justin frowned. “She must know a lot of Liam's secrets as his wife.”
“| heard Old Master Logan has gotten everything ready for Liam to migrate overseas. He won't be allowed back in Savrow. Clearly,
Old Master Logan is giving up on Liam.” Yasmin added in ponder. “Liam is no longer a threat since he is banished from the family
without power or money. Plus, he's a cripple now. No wonder Selena would ask him for a divorce.”
“The divorce could be our chance.” Justin narrowed his eyes, his gaze piercing. “Once she’s without the influence of the Hoffman
Group and Liam, it will be easy to manipulate her.”
Ryan nodded in agreement.
Dean was impressed and scared as Justin turned out to be quite devious.
No one other than Bella could rise above Justin.
Ryanmanded in an icy voice, “Keep an eye on Selena, Dean. Wait until her divorce with Liam goes through and report back to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmme.”
“Yes, sir.” Dean got down to business.
Justin said, “Brace yourself. She probably won't admit to it.”
“| have ways to handle those with sealed lips. Even if she doesn’t talk about my father’s death, she might reveal something else.”
Ryan let out a bright smile, like before. “It's getting late. It's been a while since we got together. How about dinner?”
Justin curled his lips. “Sure.”
