    Upon hearing that, L suddenly mped her hand over her mouth.


    Just now, she was so busy defending herself that she had unwittingly spilled the beans.

    "I... I..." L was at a loss for words. "I just forgot to mention it to her coach. Besides, why are you all


    looking at me? Even her coach didn''t notice it!"


    No one believed a word she said.


    "You saw that her parachute was tampered with and kept that information to yourself. That''s a crime


    in itself." Ethan''s gaze was so piercing that it bored into L''s skull. "Since you can''t give us a


    reasonable exnation, we''ll conclude that you deliberately kept it to yourself."


    Her reaction had given her away.


    Ethan had seen through her at a nce. "Even if you didn''t do it yourself, you''re partly to be


    med. You knew the parachute wouldn''t work, and yet you said nothing. It''s clear to us that you


    wanted J dead!"


    Faced with Ethan''s aggressive questioning, L didn''t know what to say.


    Indeed, she saw that one of the strings had been cut and retied, but she didn''t warn J.


    "No, I didn''t... That''s not..." L was at aplete loss and burst into tears. She shouted, "I didn''t do


    it! I wasn''t the one who wanted her dead! You can''t put the whole thing on me!"


    Her whole body was trembling. She had never been considered a suspect before, let alone a


    murderer.


    Ethan rolled his eyes at her quibbling.


    "You were sneaking around the equipment. Even if you really didn''t cut the string, you probably did


    something to conceal it, which was why J''s coach didn''t notice that anything was wrong when


    he inspected it." Ethan had figured it all out.


    "You... You don''t have any proof!" L red at him angrily. She hated how smart J''s husband


    was!


    He had put the pieces together so soon.


    Ethan indeed didn''t have any solid proof, so he couldn''t do anything to L in the meantime.


    L''s eyes darted all over the ce in a panic. She seldom yed dirty let alone got caught red -


    handed; now she didn''t know how to get herself out of this situation. At a loss, she stormed out of


    the hospital in tears.


    She had to find a way to solve this matter as soon as possible. With Brandon''s connections, he


    would find the truth out sooner orter.

    After L left, Ethan returned to J''s ward.


    When J saw hime in, she broke into a sweet smile.


    "Where''ve you been?"


    After hesitating for a few seconds, Ethan decided to tell her what he had just found.


    "No wonder she suddenly invited me to go skydiving with her." J smiled bitterly. On the inside,


    she waspletely shocked.


    She had been having a bad feeling ever since L started acting nice around her. But it never


    urred to her that L would actually try to kill her.


    Ethan said nothing.


    "Do my parents know?" J suddenly asked. "Since L tried to hurt me, maybe she''ll try to hurt


    them, too."


    Ethan pinched her cheek and smiled. "You silly girl. She wanted to hurt you because you are your


    parents'' biological daughter and the future heir to the White fortune. What good wille out of


    hurting your parents? And no, I haven''t told your parents about it yet. I''m afraid they might not


    believe it was L and will try to hinder the investigation."


    J lowered her head. "Of course they won''t believe it. L was their daughter for so many


    years..."


    Ethan wrapped his arms around herfortingly. "If you''re sick of this ce, let''s go back to


    Seacisco and I promise things will go back to normal."


    Plus, in Seacisco, Ethan could protect her.


    Just then, the door to the ward suddenly swung open and Johanna stormed in.


    "What''s going on? I won''t let you take my daughter away from me!"
