Chapter 280 Murder Suspect


    The news hit Jocelyn like a bolt out of the blue. She had received many blows today. Her head


    suddenly became woozy and she felt like fainting. "Dad, please calm down. Even though my mother


    did something wrong, you shouldn''t abandon her. She''s your wife. You have to find a way to save


    her." Leaning against the headboard of the hospital bed, Jocelyn begged her father pitifully. Her


    mother was her source of support. She would be lost in this world without Fiona by her side.


    The happenings of the past few days had made her cry several times. Since the Lind family went


    bankrupt, she had suffered a lot. She became the mistress of an old married man, and now, she


    had suffered a miscarriage.


    Jocelyn didn''t know who to me for her suffering.


    At this moment, Bernie''s voice came again from the other end of the line. He sounded as if he had


    aged a lot within seconds. "By the way, why are you in the hospital?"


    Sheer embarrassment made Jocelyn hesitate. After biting her lower lip for a long time, she held her


    face with one hand and replied sadly, "I had a miscarriage. It was Luke''s baby but he didn''t want it.


    He asked his driver to hit me. He intentionally made me miscarry the baby!"


    Jocelyn cried and shouted to vent her anger.


    Bernie instantly had a splitting headache.


    This was thest thing he wanted to hear. He knew before that his daughter was Luke''s mistress.


    He began to suspect her when she suddenly brought arge sum of money and moved them into a


    new vi. Jocelyn didn''t have a job, so it was suspicious that she managed to get the money and


    live an extravagant life.


    His suspicion had been confirmed when he overheard her talking to Luke on the phone.


    The Turner family of Seacisco was well-known in the world. Bernie had also heard of it. It was then


    he confirmed that his daughter had a sugar daddy.


    However, there was nothing he could do to put an end to the rtionship. He couldn''t because


    Jocelyn refused to listen to him; also, the Lind Group indeed needed funds. All his efforts to


    dissuade her from continuing her rtionship with Luke failed. He was forced to stop pestering her


    afterward.


    "You brought this upon yourself, Jocelyn. You have no self-respect! I advised you not to date that


    man. You and your mother were colluding to do something evil after she first got out of jail. Have


    you seen where disobedience hasnded you? You should have listened to me! You aren''t a three-


    year-old child who needs to be pushed around. I want you to know that you and your mother are to


    me for your current situation!" Bernie said without mincing words.


    "Dad, why are you ming Mom and me? We are not at fault. Everything is J''s fault! If it


    weren''t for that bitch, my mother and I won''t be in this situation. We wouldn''t have gotten bankrupt if


    she hadn''t betrayed us. All her atrocities are what pushed me into dating Luke in the first ce,"


    Jocelyn retorted in a low voice. The pain all over her body was rapidly draining her strength.


    Bernie waspletely disappointed with Fiona now. He didn''t want to have anything to do with her.


    More so, he wouldn''t be able to help her even if he wanted to. His hands were tied.


    "You know that our family no longer has power like before. There''s nothing I can do to get your


    mother out of prison."


    Despite her father''s logical excuse, Jocelyn still didn''t want to give up. She suggested, "We used to


    have many loyal partners, didn''t we? Last time I checked, some of them were still on good terms


    with you. Please ask them for help. I''m sure they wille to your aid."


    "No, they won''t help me. I have been cklisted by all of them since our fortune went down the


    drain."


    Bernie''s annoyance towards Jocelyn didn''t affect the fatherly love he had for her. After sighing


    deeply, he asked, "Which hospital are you in? I''ll pick you up."

    He rushed down to the hospital and brought Jocelyn back home.


    Bernie''s heart ached when he saw his daughter in this sorry state. After helping her to her bedroom,


    he said, "Let bygones, be bygones. We need to start afresh. Don''t covet whatever doesn''t belong to


    you from now on. I''ll find a good husband for you. But if you don''t want to get married, it''s fine. I will


    continue to support you for as long as you don''t spend extravagantly." Jocelyn''s eyes were void of


    their usual spark. As her father spoke, she justy on the bed without saying a word.


    Bernie couldn''t help but sigh deeply. All of a sudden, the doorbell of the front door rang. He rushed


    downstairs to answer it. To his surprise, a group of uniformed police officers stood outside.


    "Hello, we are here for Jocelyn Lind. She''s wanted for a murder case. She has toe with us to


    the station," one of them said with a deep frown.
