Lily looked at the people from the X Bureau, terrified out of her wits. Her mind was filled with images of that closed room from before, and fear spread through her heart. She instinctively took a step back, her voice trembling, “I… I… didn’t you investigate thoroughly? I didn’t research the virus, why are you arresting me again?”
She was very scared. She didn’t want to go back to that room.
The team leader looked at her with a stern face, “You are suspected of attempting to murder the captain of the X Bureau. We are arresting you ording to thew!” He showed the arrest warrant.
Lily’s eyes widened in shock, “What are you talking about? When did I try to murder the captain of the X Bureau? I clearly…”
She clearly wanted to kill Tina! How could Tina be the captain of the X Bureau?
The team leader remained serious, “Jared is the captain of our X Bureau special operations team. At three o’clock, you had someone ce a steel rod aimed at Captain Farrell, intending to murder him. Pleasee with us.”
“What!” Lily and the Reed family werepletely stunned. Jared was actually the captain of the X Bureau! Who said he was useless? How could a useless person be the captain of the X Bureau special operations team?
Standing not far away, Jasper’s eyes narrowed. Jared’s identity was beyond his expectations. He had been focusing on Tina and had forgotten about this guy.
“No, it’s not…” Lily snapped back to reality and looked at the team leader in a panic, “That wasn’t me!”
“Take her away!” The team leader didn’t give her a chance to exin. Two fully armed men immediately took Lily away without saying a word.
Willow wanted to stop them but wilted when she saw the people from the X Bureau.
After the people from the X Bureau left, peace returned to the Reed family.
Logan slowly stood up from his chair and nced coldly at Muff, whose eyes were vacant. “You always say you’re better than me andpete with me in everything. Besides your taste in women being better than mine, what else do you have over me?” Logan snorted coldly, “Look at what kind of wife you found? After all these years, you didn’t realize she was such a vicious person.”
Muff sat weakly in his chair for the first time without rebutting Logan’s words.
Logan couldn’t be bothered with him either. “Although I didn’t personally kill Annabelle to avenge Sydney, she got her punishment. I need to go light some incense for Sydney and tell her this news.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Muff suddenly stood up, “I’ll go with you!”
Logan didn’t say much more; he just snorted and turned to leave.
Muff immediately followed him.
The Reed family members slowly came back to their senses.
Juliet and her siblings were frightened by all the blood on the ground.
Jasper and Garrett remained silent; neither spoke a word.
Damian was the first to react and said, “Let’s arrange grandmother’s funeral first.”
The body had been taken by the criminal police but would be returned eventually. No matter what Annabelle did, they were her family and needed to handle her funeral.
Jasper finally raised his eyes and scanned everyone before instructing Damian in a deep voice, “You handle the funeral arrangements.”
Then he looked at Tina, “Come with me to my room; we need to talk.”
There was no trace of grief for his mother’s death on his face.
Tina nced at him indifferently and said coldly, “I will talk with you, but not now.”
She then walked over to Juliet and pressed her lips together slightly, “Do you me me?”
Tina had no blood rtion with anyone in the Reed family and felt no affection for them. Her reason foring to the Reed family was solely to find out why her mother died.
She had never been soft-hearted in doing things; she never intended to spare anyone in the Reed family from the start. But she did have different feelings for Juliet and her siblings because they always stood by her side helping her even though she didn’t need their help. But she could never be ruthless towards anyone who showed her kindness.
Sure enough! Soft-hearted people can’t achieve great things.
Juliet looked at Tina with her mouth open but didn’t know what to say for a long time. After a while, she forced a smile, “From a moral standpoint, I don’t me you; grandmother killed ten people and should pay for her actions. But from a familial perspective, I can’t understand it; she is your grandmother too. Even if she’s guilty, you could have reported her and let the police arrest her instead of killing her on the spot.”
As Juliet spoke, she suddenly started crying. She shook her head, “I don’t know what to do anymore; everyone in this family has changed. Everyone wears a mask now; I don’t want to stay here anymore; I’m leaving.”
With that said, Juliet turned around and ran off.
Tina lowered her eyes slightly; her long eyshes fluttered gently as she pressed her lips together again before looking at Damian and others. “me those who did wrong; everyone must pay for their actions-no one can escape!”
With that said, she left with Jared without lingering any longer.
