Chapter 567 Two Cases


    Ethan had been very busy these days. Seeing him go out so early ande back sote every day,


    J started to wonder what he was up to exactly.


    Ethan was indeed very busy, but he didn''t tell J why right away.


    When he found the evidence that J was poisoned, he hired the best private detective in


    Seacisco.


    "What? A twenty-year-old case? The streets have been torn down and rebuilt and houses have


    been demolished and reconstructed; the world has changed a lot. This is going to beplicated,


    to say the least." This private detective used to be a journalist for Seaciscso''s famous Gossip


    Weekly. He was well-informed and resourceful.


    "Be that as it may, I believe in you." Ethan pulled out a newspaper from that year and slid it across


    the table. "I want the information of everyone who had had contact with this woman and Elissa


    Lester."


    He had to dig deeper into the death of his mother. This had to be a lead.


    Time passed. It took the detective a lot of effort and resources to find the people rted to the case


    Ethan brought up.


    Most of the witnesses had either aged or died over the years, while the rest had moved away.


    However, there was still a glimmer of hope. Most of the people who had had contact with Elissa still


    lived in Seacisco. They relied on the Lester family to make a living.


    Everyone covered up for Elissa, trying hard to conceal the truth. It probably never crossed their


    mind that Sylvia''s death would be investigated again after twenty years.


    The detective gathered all the information he could find and passed it on to Ethan, who then found


    the man who had sold Elissa the poison.

    Now that the evidence was stacked up against Elissa, Ethan sued her under two charges: murder


    and attempted murder. Afraid that things might go awry, he put the bestwyers of the Larson


    Group in charge of the case. The indictment instantly became a sensation. Two major cases, the


    poisoning of J and the death of Sylvia, was enough to draw in the attention of the public.

    It didn''t take long before the news reached Patrick''s ears.


    It wasn''t the first time Elissa had humiliated him. He felt both shocked and angry, but at the same


    time, he began to worry about the stock price of Lester Silk Fabric. Although Ethan was his bastard


    son, he still carried the Lester family name. He didn''t think it was right for Ethan to humiliate the


    whole family just because he hated Elissa.


    Patrick was so angry that he personally went to Barnes to see Ethan on the day he found out about


    the news.


    "Ethan Lester! You really have the gall, don''tyou?" Patrick spat aggressively.


    "Your wife killed my mother, and now, in trying to kill me, she almost killed my wife," Ethan said


    calmly. "Let''s settle the old and new grudges together. I''m telling you—I won''t give her the chance to


    get away with her crimes."


    Patrick''s eyes went as wide as saucers.


    He knew about Sylvia''s sudden death, but he didn''t think too much about it. After all, Sylvia was just


    some woman he had a one night stand with.


    Moreover, he needed Elissa and her family''s support, so he had to turn a blind eye to the fact that


    Elissa hated Sylvia to the core. Now that he thought about it, he found it highly possible that Elissa


    had killed Sylvia.


    And he also knew that Elissa wanted to kill Ethan, too. After all, she had already tried once.


    Ethan had enough evidence to prove it. The man was no longer the loser he used to be. He had the


    Larson Group, and Patrick couldn''t do anything about it.


    Seeing the hesitation in Patrick''s eyes, Ethan sneered coldly. "Since you have nothing else to say,


    get out. Now!"


    Patrick clenched his fists and stormed off angrily.


    He had already warned that damned woman, but Elissa didn''t take him seriously at all.
