Chapter 1147


    Karan was taken aback when she nced at the documents She never thought Liana would go to such


    lengths as checking bank records. But she quickly regained herposure, feigning ignorance as she


    took the documents, her face filled with surprise


    “Wait, I had no clue! Why on earth would he send money to those people?”


    As she scanned through the paperwork, her brow furrowed Liana sat across from her, silently


    observing Karan, trying to spot any unusual emotions pn her face. But Karan gave nothing away, her


    expression instead hinting at anger


    “That scoundrel Hubert, why would he send money to the very people who’ve harmed you?”


    After going through the documents, Karan was so mad she tossed them away, her body trembling with


    rage.


    “If that dirtbag wasn’t six feet under, I’d definitely hunt him down and give him a piece of my mind. Why


    would he do such a thing?”


    Indeed, Hubert was dead If he were still around, Liana could have directly sought Aidyn’s help to nab


    him. Once they had evidence, they could confront Karan, leaving her no room for excuses But with


    Hubert gone, Liana had no choice but toe here and try to coax the truth out of Karan


    Watching the fuming Karan, Liana paused for a few seconds before saying in a nonchnt tone,


    “Karan, Hubert was sending money to each of those guys once they were out of jail. It suggests he was


    the real mastermind. Otherwise, he had no reason to send them money”


    Karan’s eyes flickered, buts he pretended to be confused, ‘Wasn’t Tyler the real culprit? He confessed


    when we confronted him. How could it be Hubert? Maybe Hubert owed money to those people, and


    that’s why he sent them money after they got out. You know how desperate people can do anything.


    Perhaps Hubert was afraid they’de after him, so he paid them off”


    Despite Karans usible exnation, Liana wasn’t buying it. “Those hoodlums were Tyler’s people.


    They were much younger than Hubert. How could Hubert possibly owe them money? And since he


    was afraid of being caught, he always gambled abroad. How could he have any connection with them?


    Besides, weren’t you and Hubert both strongly against Tyler? How could he borrow money from Tyler’s


    people? Those thugs didn’t have much money either. How could Hubert borrow from them?”


    Karan was left speechless by Liana’s interrogation but was still defiant. “Liana, I don’t know much about


    Hubert’s affairs, who he was friends with, who he gambled with, who he owed money to, and how


    much. He never told me anything, he only asked me for money… Maybe he did have some dealings


    with Tyler’s people. Perhaps Tyler bribed Hubert, leading him to harm you You know Hubert had a huge


    gambling debt then. Since I didn’t help him pay it off, he might have turned to Tyler out of anger. It’s not


    impossible for them to have colluded.”


    Knowing it would be tough to get the truth about Hubert’s payments from Karan, Liana changed tactics,


    adopting a softer approach/“Auntie, you must know about Hubert’s dealings He lived off your earnings


    all his life. If he was bribed by Tyler and did something harmful to me, he would certainly have told you.


    Tyler is gone now, and my grudge with him is over I won’t fight with you over his matters, nor me


    you for concealing anything I just want to know the truth.”


    Karan remained calm, scrutinizing Liana Seeing Liana’s continued respect and friendliness towards her


    without a trace of resentment, she was slightly moved. But she still denied it, “Liana, I really don’t know


    why Hubert would send money to those thugs.*


    After saying this, she let out a long sigh. “He’s gone now, and no one knows why he did what he did.


    But I find it hard to believe that he was the puppet master, especially since Tyler had openly admittedThis belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    he was the one behind everything”


    If Karan had agreed with Liana now, saying Hubert was the puppet master, Liana would have been


    more suspicious of her. Karan decided to pin it on Tyler instead. After all, he had once entertained that


    thought, even if only to intimidate. It wouldn’t hurt to use it as an excuse to shrug off responsibility now.
