Chapter 287


    “Why are you going to the Xander residence? Old Mr. Parks was a little worried. He continued, “Anna,


    there are people in the Xander family who don’t wee you. Don’t go to the Xander residence in the


    future. Let’s stay in our own house and live happily.” “Nancy is dead. We have to pay our respects,”


    Julian said. When Old Mr. Parks heard that Nancy was dead, he fell silent. At his age, he had long lost


    the vigor of a young man. However, he still felt that Julian had made the right decision. Nancy was a


    wicked woman. And because Annalise was capable, she gained the upper hand.


    Nancy would not know how to hurt Annalise. After a moment of silence, Samuel said, “Alright,” He then


    instructed Julian, “You have to protect Anna. Don’t stay in the Xander residence for too long. You have


    to stay close to Anna.” “Grandpa, don’t worry,” Julian said. “Once you arrive at the Xander residence,


    don’t eat anything they offer you. Also, be wary of Lily and Yechiel,” Samuel added. He had never


    interacted much with Yechiel or Lily. But an adage went, “A daughter’s character is determined by her


    mother.” If the daughter were terrible, there was a high chance that her mother would not be any better.


    In addition, Lee had lost his son 20 years ago, and his wife had run away with someone else. He could


    not shake the feeling that this matter was strange. It might be rted to Yechiel. In the past, he had


    never thought too deeply about this. However, the situation was different now. Annalise was Lee’s


    daughter. Since she was now rted to the Xander family, he had to consider it more carefully.


    “Grandpa, don’t worry. We’ll only be going to light some candles,” Julian said. “Alright, go ahead.


    Protect Anna, especially when you’re going to the restroom. Never let your guard down,” grandpa said.


    “Okay,” Julian replied. The two of them changed their clothes and went to the Xander residence. At the


    Xander residence…


    As soon as Julian’s car arrived in front of the Xander residence, Lee’s trusted aide immediately ran to


    greet them politely. “Miss Barton, Mr. Xander. Mr. Lee Xander asked me to wait for you here.” Annalise


    recognized Floyd Watson. She nodded and followed him into Lee’s vi. Although Lee could now move


    freely, his body was not as strong as it had been at his peak. He would get tired after standing for a


    while. He had already gotten someone to ce a chair in front of the vi. He had waited there for a


    long time. He could not stand for long, so he sat and waited.


    When he saw Annalise, he immediately stood up and smiled lovingly. “Annalise, Julian. You’re here.”


    “Dad.” Julian and Annalise shouted in unison. Lee nodded. When Lee heard Annalise’s voice, his heart


    was filled with gratitude and satisfaction. He immediately called out to them, “Go in and rest for a while.


    Light the candlester.” “Okay.” Annalise knew that Lee probably wanted to find out more about the


    situation The three of them entered the house. Lee-instructed Floyd, “Watch over them. Don’t let


    anyone sneak into my vi.” “Yes, Mr. Lee Xander.” Floyd personally went outside to guard the vi.


    Lee poured tea for Julian and a ss of in water for Annalise. After sitting down, he did not beat


    around the bush. He looked at Julian and asked, “Did you ask Trevor to kill her?” Afraid that they would


    misunderstand, Lee added, “Don’t worry. Trevor was only protecting Annalise. Even if he killed


    someone, I would protect him. I only want to know what happened in the process and if we could use


    anything to our advantage.” Julian took out his phone and showed Lee photo. The photo was taken at


    the unfinished building before Annalise exposed Nancy’s true identity. At that time, Nancy was still


    wearing the ck butterfly mask.


    In addition to Nancy, there were several men and a few foreign henchmen. Upon seeing the photo, Lee


    smiled. “Alright, I understand.” With this photo, everything should go smoothly for them. No one knew


    that the masked woman was Nancy A group of people held Old Mr. Parks hostage. They wanted to


    save him and attacked in a hurry. During the process of being kidnapped, they could act in self-defense


    however they needed to. From the beginning, Julian had not said he told Trevor to kill Nancy. He only


    showed Lee the photo He was still wary of Lee. After all, Annalise was not his biological daughter.


    If Lee wanted to protect them, he would. It did not matter if Lee switched sides in the Xander family.


    Julian would still protect Annalise “Let’s go and light some candles for Nancy,” Lee said. They went to


    the funeral hall to light the candles for Nancy. As soon as she saw Annalise, Lily became agitated.


    “Annalise, you murderer. Give Nancy back to me.” She pounced on Annalise, but Lee pushed her


    away. Lee’s body was still weak. He used all his strength to push Lily away. He scolded Yechiel,


    “Yechiel, watch Mrs. Zeller. Don’t let her go crazy in front of the Xander family.”


    Yechiel took this opportunity to make a fuss. “Lee, you’ve lost your son, too. You should understand the


    pain of losing your child. How can you rub salt on Lily’s wound?” Lily continued to cry. “Annalise, you’re


    so ruthless. You killed her just because she didn’t like you. You killed Nancy. If I upset you, will you kill


    me, too?” ‘Mrs. Zeller, I’ve said it before. Evidence is everything,” Lee said sternly. “Would I spout


    nonsense without any evidence? Huh? I’ve already called the police. I won’t agree to handle this


    among ourselves.” Lily cried. When Julian and Annalise arrived, Lily’s people had already notified her,


    so she immediately called the police.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    They had already found the people Nancy had hired when she was alive. Three of those people were


    willing to testify for money. One was a foreign henchman, one was the person who held Samuel


    hostage, and the other was La. La knew a lot of details. “I agree. Call the police. It’s best if


    everyone investigates the truth.” Lee said sternly and nced meaningfully at Lily and Yechiel. First,


    Yechiel’s executive assistant had arranged for someone to cause trouble at Chloe’s pharmaceutical


    company. Lee did not believe Yechiel and Lily did not know anything about Nancy kidnapping Old Mr.


    Parks.


    If they knew, they would not be able to extricate themselves, either. Lee was only bedridden for twenty


    years. He was not dead. If he needed a better identity to protect Annalise, he would not mind iming


    what had once belonged to him. “Lee, what do you mean by that?” Yechiel was very unhappy. He


    immediately asked Samuel for help. “Dad, look at Lee.” Samuel was also sad that his granddaughter


    had died. He was about to speak. Sybil beat him to it. She said, “Yechiel, Lee didn’t say anything


    wrong. Of course, we have to investigate anyone who might be rted to Nancy’s death. Yechiel, you


    spoiled Nancy too much.”


    Is this Nancy’s fault? Huh? Nancy lost her life. Is this how you speak to your aunt?” Lily red at Sybil


    and started crying again. “Nancy suffered so much. She was murdered. Even after she died, people


    were dragging her name through the mud Nancy, open your eyes and take a look… Outside, sirens


    began to wail Lily cried. “Even if Nancy is dead, I still believe there is justice in this world. I believe her


    life has to be paid with the murderer’s life.” With that, she stumbled off to meet the police.
