Chapter 474


    From the moment I walked into the room, I spotted him, but his face... it was the same one Hannah had


    captured on her camera at the airport just two days ago.


    When I softly called out "Jerome," his eyes narrowed sharply, fixating on me with a steely gaze.


    I looked at him, a teasing smirk ying on my lips, and said coolly, "You think a new face can fool me,


    Jerome? No matter the disguise, you can''t hide. You''ve been out too often; you really think the police


    wouldn''t notice?"


    His expression was odd, his pupils constricted, yet his face remained eerily motionless.


    "I knew it was you the second I saw you at the airport," I said with mock gravity.


    Jasper, who was desperately holding onto a struggling Jessica, glowered at me and spat, "Aaliyah,


    you''d better keep your mouth shut!"


    "Oh... is that a threat?" I locked eyes with Jasper. "You’ve finally dropped the act, Jesper."


    My n wasn''t just about riling up Jerome; it was about infuriating the Dawsons. Only by sowing seeds


    of resentment among them could they possibly be even more foolish.


    "My silence is irrelevant; after all, the police don''t take orders from me!"


    Jan grabbed my arm with vicious fury, ring at me with pure rage. Hannah, who was right behind


    me, stepped forward, but before she could intervene, Jerome''s voice cut through, "Let her speak."


    Jan, seething with anger, violently released my arm. I stumbled to one side, regained my bnce,


    and brushed over the spot where he had grabbed. Then, I shifted my gaze back to Jerome, our eyes


    meeting once again.


    "Jerome, don''t you think that Hazel lying here today is your doing?" I took a step towards him. "As the


    eldest of the Dawsons, your conduct has been disgraceful, leading your siblings astray. You believed a


    nanny''s nders and killed your own flesh and blood, causing Hazel to take her own life, while you just


    walked away. Do you really think you can escape?"


    Jerome''s gaze darkened at my words, his fists clenching tighter.


    "Getting angry with me is pointless! Do you know who kidnapped your son in the first ce?" I


    challenged him, my eyes filled with defiance. "You''re such a fool, yed for a sucker, even killing your


    own son! You''re worse than a beast!"


    I''d been itching tosh out at him, and today I finally had my chance.


    "That sweet boy, the night he died, he came to me soaking wet to say goodbye! With his big watery


    eyes, he said, ''I''m leaving! Don''t look for me! They won''t feed me, they beat me, and tell me to keep


    quiet. I have to go! I don''t know where, but someone ising to get me!''"


    "You''re lying!" Jan finally erupted with a roar, like a wild beast in its final throes.


    "Lying? The same night you had your goons kidnap me, they shoved me into a drain pipe, and that''s


    when the boy came to say farewell! He told me not to look for him anymore. Such a good boy, and you


    didn''t deserve him."

    He looked at me, his eyes redder with bloodshot fury.


    A strange silence fell over everyone in the room, including the previously ranting Jessica.


    "Do you know? Zora is the mastermind behind all this drama. She''s been your brother''s trusted advisor.


    Your siblings went to all the trouble of swapping Evan''s DNA results, and you believe ra, the woman


    by your side, is some innocent little doe?" Iughed darkly. Content of Draм??ovels


    Jerome''s breathing becamebored, his eyes shifting to Jan with a coldness that spoke volumes.
