Chapter 497:It’s Human Nature


    After hesitating for a good while, Ethan then proceeded to tell them the truth. Beal and Johanna


    couldn’t believe their ears.


    “Where is L?! I need to talk to her!” Beal couldn’t believe that L would actually be capable of doing


    such a thing.


    “She’s no longer here in the hospital.” Ethan nced over at the expression etched on their faces. It


    really seemed like they couldn’t believe it.


    Johanna mulled it over in her head for a while and found it hard to believe that her daughter, whom


    she had raised for so many years, would actually do such a thing. She started to have many doubts in


    her mind.


    “Why would L do such a thing?” Ethan had always respected Beal and Johanna, but when he heard


    her question, he knew that she didn’t believe a word he said. His eyes darkened visibly.


    “The two coaches have witnessed this matter, yet you’re unwilling to believe me. J happens to be


    your biological daughter, Mrs. White. L wanted to get rid of her for a good reason. Are you going to


    defend a murderer who tried to kill your very own flesh and blood?” His firm voice made Johanna


    startled for aplete moment there. Johanna and Beal thought it over for a long time at the door.


    “Brandon, we raised L and have always treated her like our very own daughter. We’ll investigate this


    matter, but I don’t want to jump to any conclusions for the time being.”


    With a very calm and indifferent look on his face, Ethan said to them, “But J is your biological


    daughter. As her parents, you should be on her side no matter what.”


    He paused for a beat and went on to say, “Before you found J, L was considered your only


    daughter. But after J showed up, she must feel her limelight was stolen by J. She must really


    despise J from the bottom of her heart. With J out of the way, she could finally get her previous


    life back. Mrs. White, you’ve been in the business world for so many years now, you should know more


    about human nature than I do, am I right?”


    He had a fair point.


    Johanna felt unhappy being lectured by Ethan, but at the same time, she felt happy for J that she


    had found someone who would be by her side no matter what. J was so very lucky. Johanna’s face


    suddenly darkened noticeably.


    “I just want to say that I wasn’t trying to defend L. I just thought she knew better than to do


    something like that. Everything that she had belonged to J. She had enjoyed it on J’s behalf all


    these years. Now that J has returned to us, we didn’t treat L like garbage. Instead, we kept her in


    the White family and still treated her like our own daughter; she should feel grateful for that.


    Furthermore, as far as I know, she could never be this cruel and heartless.”


    “That’s true, but human beings tend to be greedy. People are never satisfied with what they have,”


    Ethan said in a rather indifferent tone.

    “Besides, even if she didn’t have the guts to n it herself, when she saw the chance to kill J


    without even lifting a finger, she tookBeal and Johanna let out a long sigh. “


    After we got our J back, we had to share our love among our girls. Without it having to be said, we


    couldn’t love L as much as we did before. Or else it wouldn’t be fair for J,” Beal said.


    “But I can see how sharing our love would make L resent us. What should we do next?” Ethan didn’t


    say a word for a long time and then he finally said, “Now that things havee to this, what’s your next


    move? Are you going to side with L?”


    Johanna turned to look at J and said, “I’m going to ask L why she didn’t tell J about the


    broken string.” Johanna still harbored some hope for L.


    “We have to investigate this matter,” J said and pursed her lips together tightly. Even though she


    said it in a gentle tone, she looked very sullen.


    “If it was really L, I won’t let her get away with this!”
