Chapter 985 Can’t Say Anything Now?
Looking at Bettany''s expression, ir inexplicably felt anxious.
Can I have once again done something with good intentions that ended up causing trouble?
But how can it be? Winona would not do anything as extreme as murder or arson.
At most, it was just a romantic entanglement. There was no need to make such a big fuss about it.
Compared to ir, Helen was truly panicked.
When Bettany came out, she wanted to run away immediately.
She knew what Winona had done before and did not dare to continue this entanglement. It would be
like exposing herself.
"Let''s go, let''s go!" Helen pleaded as she pulled ir''s arm. "Today is a happy wedding day for the
Crawford family. Let''s not talk about it anymore. Let it go, let it go!"
ir looked at her with fear, restraint, and anxiety, feeling even more sorry for her.
The ghost on his head shook its head continuously and said, "No, we can''t just leave like this."
"It''s already difficult enough for the olddy to ovee many difficulties to see his granddaughter.
Why does the Crawford family have to bully an olddy like her?"
"If we leave here today, she will return and wipe her tears alone."
ir became even more determined and held Helen''s hand, insisting, "Don''t be afraid, olddy! We
just need to discuss it, and I''ll help you."
Today was a good opportunity.
The way the Crawford family treated Helen was probably not a recent issue.
With many people present today, perhaps they could persuade the Crawford family to help the elderly
solve their future difficulties.
Helen was almost at her wits'' end. She was so pleased with ir''s help just now, but now she hated
him so much that she wanted to push him into the sewer.
Bettany seemed to see through ir''s intentions and sneered, "Mr. ir, are you nning to fight for
some rights for Helen in front of so many people? You im to be kind but use moral coercion and
public opinion to pressure my family."
"You''re not that noble either."
Bettany was straight. These words initially took ir aback. He felt the urge to argue back but
struggled to find the right words to express himself.
Yes, he was also using moral coercion.
ir was left speechless as Bettany''s words struck him like a crushing blow, hitting him deeply in the
heart and making him doubt himself.
Bettany continued, "I know that the outsiders have always been curious about Liam''s divorce!"
When Winona was arrested, Bettany did not mention that Winona had killed someone to protect
Hannah.
Adults are considerate and won''t speak recklessly, but what about children?
She did not want Hannah to suffer teasing at school because of this. They would say, "Hannah is the
child of a murderer." or "Look! Her mother is a murderer!"
This kind of thing happened a lot.
The outsiders only knew that Winona got divorced, and some people even knew that she was
sentenced to 25 years, but they did not know the specific reason.
Bettany stared at ir and said coldly, "Winona, Hannah''s mother, she wanted to marry into the
Crawford family before, and she bribed a female worker on Liam''s construction site for putting drugs in
Liam''s water."
"Liam med himself for having an affair with her. He wanted to pay her some money, but she refused
until she found out she was pregnant."
The crowd was in an uproar, whispering to each other.
It was unexpected that Winona had married into such a wealthy family with such despicable means.
The affairs of the wealthy were explosive.
ir instinctively said, "The means are hical, but since the child is born, we should care for her.
Moreover, Helen should not take the me. How can the grandmother bear the responsibility for the
mistakes made by her daughter?"
Anthony''s face was cold, and he said, "It would be best for you to wait until we finish speaking before
speaking up."
Lilly nodded.
Bettany''s face was pale and cold, and she continued, "Afterwards, Winona was worried about her

deeds being exposed, so she killed the female worker she had bribed."
K-Kill?
ir''s eyes widened instantly, and the words he wanted to say were all stuck in his throat.
The surrounding guests were also stunned. This news was too explosive. Not only did Winona use
unspeakable means to marry into the Crawford family, but she also killed the person she had bribed!
It was like a pce drama from ancient times, but now society was ruled byw.
Bettany looked at ir expressionlessly and said, "Can''t say anything now? There''s more."
ir was greatly shocked and took a step back unconsciously.
Bettany did not stop talking. "When Winona was pregnant with her second child, it was when the
Crawford family''s eldest daughter, Jean, was seriously ill."
"My family has eight sons, but only one daughter and my family is known for showering love on my
daughter."
Everyone nodded, well aware of this fact.
How could they not spoil the precious girl among a group of boys?
Bettany continued, "Winona also understood that girls are highly valued in our family. In order to ensure
that her unborn child bes our family''s sole daughter, shemitted another crime."
The Crawford family members experienced excruciating pain due to this statement reopening an old
wound.
Bettany''s fingertips trembled slightly, and she could not continue speaking for a moment.
Anthony pursed his lips, preparing to say something. But to everyone''s surprise, Lilly spoke up with the
most crucial information, "Aunt Winona discovered that the baby in her womb was Hannah. To ensure
that Hannah would be the only girl in the Crawford family, she took my mom away and abandoned her
while unconscious."
"My mom woke up and didn''t remember who she was. Later, she was adopted by a man named
Stephen, who became my foster daddy. However, my foster dad was not kind to my mother. In thest
few days before her death, she suffered greatly. She pleaded with him to buy her some painkillers, but
he refused and grew impatient. That''s how my mother passed away in South City, suffering from illness
and pain."
