Chapter 480 Lisa’s Not Dead
Veronica''s thoughts were indeed calcted. In her twisted logic, by killing her rtives and saving the
Crawford family during their time of disaster, she believed she would be the heroic benefactor of
the Crawford family.
Unfortunately, her mental faculties seemed to have abandoned her, preventing her from realizing the
contradiction in her actions. Instead, she now used the Crawford family of hiding the corpse,
unknowingly exacerbating the disaster she had caused.
Lilly shook her head in disbelief and whispered to Jack, "Has her mind been eaten?"
Pablo chimed in, "Yes, she has,"
Lilly''s eyes widened in surprise. "Seriously? Her brain has been eaten?"
Pablo replied, "Don''t speak, let''s focus on resolving the current situation,"
Lilly quickly covered her mouth, realizing the need for silence at that moment.
"Corpse?" Anthony said coldly, "You mean her?"
He turned around as he spoke.
Huh? Where did she go?
Anthony was taken aback when he realized that Lisa was still in the living room when both the police
officer and the McCarthy family entered the premises. However, given her paleplexion, Veronica
and the others probably had not noticed her.
How could Lisa suddenly disappear now?
Jack quickly whispered to Margaret, "Where is Lady Lisa?"
Margaret was equally bewildered. "She was here just a moment ago!"
The second elder of the McCarthy family sneered, "What''s the matter? Can''t the show continue?"
Veronica eximed, "Of course, the corpse isn''t here! Why would the body be here..."
The steward interrupted, "Just search and you''ll find out!"
The steward''s toothless speech, resembling that of an elderly woman, irritated him greatly.
The police officer was about to respond when suddenly a dog barked. They noticed a woman standing
silently under therge tree in the garden, her emaciated figure resembling nothing more than a
collection of bones. Her pale face appeared lifeless as if she had just emerged from the realm of the
dead.
The police officer''s gaze fixated on her. Years of experience in handling cases allowed them to quickly
recognize that this woman was not in a normal state and appeared to be deceased!
In previous cases, there had been instances where murderers disguised the corpses to appear as if
they were still alive. The police officer considered this possibility while observing the motionless woman
before them.
Veronica was startled, taking a moment toprehend that the lifeless figure nearby was her sister.
The sudden turn of events made her pale even further. It must have been the consequence of her
sister''s demise after the parasite was crushed.
Veronica quickly eximed, "Ah... that''s my sister... that''s my sister!"
The second elder of the McCarthy family sneered, "Officer, do you see? The woman before us is the
corpse we have been searching for! She belongs to our McCarthy family!"
The police officers hesitated to approach, concerned that there might be delicate threads or evidence
surrounding the scene that could inadvertently be disturbed.
"Are you certain?" one of the police officers inquired cautiously.
The second elder of the McCarthy family spoke with a heavy tone, insisting, "Absolutely!"
His gaze shifted towards Anthony as he continued, "I thought you were so confident. Is that why you
ced the deceased under therge tree to create the illusion of them being alive for the police
officer?"
Veronica wept, her voice filled with anguish, "My poor sister... How could this happen? I didn''t believe it
at first, but now I do! It turns out that the two elders truly killed my sister..."
The two elders of the McCarthy family were taken aback, their expressions filled with confusion and
surprise.
Veronica, seizing the opportunity upon seeing her sister''s "corpse", could not help but express her
stance immediately, fearing that if she hesitated, she might not get another chance. With grief and
anger, she pointed usingly at Steward, saying, "Last night, the elder asked me to apany him to
the deste mountain. He imed that my sister was worthless, squandering the resources of the
McCarthy family and that he intended to kill her!"
"I couldn''t believe it back then, especially considering that my sister was also a member of the
McCarthy family! I never anticipated that not only did the elder murder my sister, but they also framed
the Crawford family, all to gain control over the two children..."
Steward and the Second elder of the McCarthy family were speechless.
Both of them were consumed by doubt, as the situation seemed riddled with inconsistencies, leaving
them unsure where to begin in their refutation.
"You idiot!" The steward struck Veronica across the face.
Veronica copsed to the ground, wailing loudly towards Lisa in the distance, "Sister! Your fate was so
cruel! I couldn''t bring myself to believe the elders would stoop this low, but seeing you here today, I now
realize my mistake. Boohoo…"
Everyone remained silent.
Veronica, already emotionally charged, took out a USB eximing, "These are the evidence revealing
the uwful detention and mistreatment my sister endured at the hands of the First Elder and the
Second Elder! My sister was deceived until her final moments, and they imprisoned me as well. My
sister never disclosed this to me, but she suffered brutal torture under their custody. The situation was
grave and malicious!"
Steward was taken aback by that.
The police officer received the evidence.
Beneath the tree, Lisa remained expressionless, she did not blink and stood motionlessly.
The two police officers stood on high alert, with one of them calling for backup and urgently requesting
the presence of a forensic doctor.
Suddenly, Lisa raised her hand.
A wave of tension swept through everyone present.
Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that Lisa tightly grasped two dog leashes in her hands.
Mechanically, she slowly extended her five fingers and released the leashes.
"I''m mean!" she dered.
At that moment, the general and the watchman dogs barked ferociously and darted forward!
Veronica and the rest stood there in utter bewilderment, their expressions filled with confusion and
disbelief.
Meanwhile, the members of the Crawford family maintained a stoic silence, their emotions difficult to
discern.
Without a moment to spare, General pounced on Veronica, sinking his teeth into her with a fierce grip.
The police officer quickly instructed the Crawford family to restrain the dog and driven by his duty, he
rushed to rescue Veronica from the dog''s clutches.
Once freed, Veronica''s face bore the brutal marks of the attack, with her features mauled beyond
recognition. Only her nose remained intact.

"Ah... Ah!!! My face... It hurts so much!" Veronica trembled as she gingerly touched her disfigured face.
She recoiled in horror, screaming, "I''ll kill you!"
Despite the police officer''s attempts to hold her back, she still lunged at the dog, but she ended up right
in front of General again, who instinctively mped down on her nose without hesitation.
Now, even her nose had been bitten, worsening her injuries.
Veronica screamed like a pig.
The police officer was left nearly speechless as he observed Veronica''s condition, simultaneously
urging the Crawford family to take the dog away and keeping a watchful eye on Lisa, to prevent any
attempts to tamper with the "corpse."
However, just as the dog was being pulled away, they witnessed Lisa spring into action.
Without bending her knees, she charged straight at Veronica, using her head as a battering ram.
Boom...
Veronica''s nose instantly gushed with blood, causing everyone to be forcefully propelled backward.
The damage inflicted on her face, which was already difficult to behold, became even more severe.
Lisa stood firmly in her ce, fixing her gaze upon Veronica, and repeated with rity, "I''m mean!"
Then, she abruptly lunged towards Steward, grabbing his shoulder and forcefully smashing her head
into his face.
"Damn it!" she eximed vehemently, "Damn it!"
Everyone present stood there in stunned silence, their expressions a mix of shock and confusion.
