Chapter 497 It''s Human N ature
After hesitating for a good while, Ethan then proceeded to tell them the truth.
Beal and Johanna couldn''t believe their ears.
"Where is L?! I need to talk to her!" Beal couldn''t believe that L would actually be capable of
doing such a thing.
"She''s no longer here in the hospital." Ethan nced over at the expression etched on their faces. It
really seemed like they couldn''t believe it.
Johanna mulled it over in her head for a while and found it hard to believe that her daughter, whom
she had raised for so many years, would actually do such a thing.
She started to have many doubts in her mind. "Why would L do such a thing?"
Ethan had always respected Beal and Johanna, but when he heard her question, he knew that she
didn''t believe a word he said. His eyes darkened visibly. "The two coaches have witnessed this
matter, yet you''re unwilling to believe me. J happens to be your biological daughter, Mrs. White.
L wanted to get rid of her for a good reason. Are you going to defend a murderer who tried to kill
your very own flesh and blood?"
His firm voice made Johanna startled for aplete moment there.
Johanna and Beal thought it over for a long time at the door. "Brandon, we raised L and have
always treated her like our very own daughter. We''ll investigate this matter, but I don''t want to jump
to any conclusions for the time being."
With a very calm and indifferent look on his face, Ethan said to them, "But J is your biological
daughter. As her parents, you should be on her side no matter what."
He paused for a beat and went on to say, "Before you found J, L was considered your only
daughter. But after J showed up, she must feel her limelight was stolen by J. She must
really despise J from the bottom of her heart. With J out of the way, she could finally get
her previous life back. Mrs. White, you''ve been in the business world for so many years now, you
should know more about human nature than I do, am I right?"
He had a fair point.
Johanna felt unhappy being lectured by Ethan, but at the same time, she felt happy for J that
she had found someone who would be by her side no matter what.
J was so very lucky.
Johanna''s face suddenly darkened noticeably. "I just want to say that I wasn''t trying to defend L. I
just thought she knew better than to do something like that. Everything that she had belonged to
J. She had enjoyed it on J''s behalf all these years. Now that J has returned to us, we
didn''t treat L like garbage. Instead, we kept her in the White family and still treated her like our
own daughter; she should feel grateful for that. Furthermore, as far as I know, she could never be
this cruel and heartless."
"That''s true, but human beings tend to be greedy. People are never satisfied with what they have,"
Ethan said in a rather indifferent tone. "Besides, even if she didn''t have the guts to n it herself,
when she saw the chance to kill J without even lifting a finger, she took it."
Beal and Johanna let out a long sigh.
"After we got our J back, we had to share our love among our girls. Without it having to be said,
we couldn''t love L as much as we did before. Or else it wouldn''t be fair for J," Beal said. "But
I can see how sharing our love would make L resent us. What should we do next?"
Ethan didn''t say a word for a long time and then he finally said, "Now that things havee to this,
what''s your next move? Are you going to side with L?"
Johanna turned to look at J and said, "I''m going to ask L why she didn''t tell J about the
broken string."
Johanna still harbored some hope for L.
"We have to investigate this matter," J said and pursed her lips together tightly.

Even though she said it in a gentle tone, she looked very sullen. "If it was really L, I won''t let her
get away with this!"
