Chapter 629


    Lara yelled, "Stop with the nonsense! What evidence do you have?"


    However, her words just sounded like a dog barking, as everyone simply ignored her.


    Everyone had their gazes fixed on Edward, who hadn''t said a word in a long while. Indeed, if Ellen had


    set the fire to capture his heart, then why was he grateful to Lara?


    It was because after Lara returned, Edward still didn''t manage to get a divorce, so Ellen drugged him


    and they ended up having Brian. Because of this preconceived impression, he epted Lara''s


    provocation and hated Ellen to the core, feeling that his life had been ruined by her to the point where


    he didn''t like Eugene and Brian. He disliked Brian, in particr, because he felt that it was a betrayal


    toward Lara.


    However, he never thought that the woman was probably just using that method to keep him by her


    side.


    What had he done?


    He plotted a scene of Ellen cheating and forced her to divorce him and she even ended up dying at


    Lara''s hands.


    Lara was the one who directed that scene and Edward had liked her even more because of that scene


    where he didn''t think he could live without her.


    For so many years, he had been spoiling her and treating her as his savior, but how was he supposed


    to believe her now?


    No matter how capable Eugene was, it was impossible for him to look for so many people to speak for


    him. The disappointment Edward felt was magnified. What he thought was affection and righteousness


    turned out to just be a conspiracy.


    He stared at Lara with red-rimmed eyes. "You staged the entire incident and pitted her against me.


    Even if you wanted to be with me, why did you kill Ellen? We were already divorced!"


    Lara initially wanted to make up more lies, but seeing that Edward already believed it, she simply gave


    up and sneered. "It''s hard to guarantee that you won''t rekindle your old feelings. Ellen is so shameless,


    and she even stalked you at school. I was better rest assured when she was dead."


    Edward was immediately filled to the brim with anger as he pointed a finger at her. "Y-You''re so


    heartless!"


    Eugene snorted. His method was much simpler than what Edward nned as he instantly gave the


    bodyguard a look.


    The bodyguard immediately understood and pped Lara twice across the face.


    The sound of her being pped truly relieved Eugene''s anger.


    "Eugene, how dare you hit me!" Lara shouted angrily.


    He let out a coldugh. "If I hear you insult my mother again, you''ll be getting more than these two


    ps!"


    With that, he stood up and walked to Nigel and Hannah before thanking politely, "Mr. Lowe, Mrs. Lowe,


    thank you foring here for my mother''s sake. If you''re tired, you can head back and rest first. I''ll


    treat you both to a meal tomorrow."


    "Okay," Nigel responded.


    Eugene ordered his men to bring the witnesses out first.


    Everyone slowly left the conference room. After all the outsiders had left, whatever happened within


    closed doors were the affairs of the Nn Family.


    The somewhat bustling environment earlier became quiet in an instant.


    He sat back in ce and looked at Edward. "Is there anything else you want to say?"

    For some reason, Edward felt guilty. "I didn''t know she did so many things."


    Eugene was reluctant to let him off the hook and wanted him to take a stand. "Now that you know, what


    are you going to do?"


    Edward shot Lara a slightly bitter look, then sighed helplessly. "Whatever you want. She only made


    such a mistake because she cares too much about me!"


    To that, Eugene chuckled and abruptly leaned back against his chair. His eyes were filled with


    disappointment, and he felt as if he had been sapped of vitality.


    After knowing that Lara had done so many bad deeds, Edward was still speaking up for her.
