Chapter 237
Emma''s eyes immediately welled up after hearing this. She held back her tears and took the thing
from Shirley''s hand.
Shirley turned to Ines and Ethan, frowning, "Mr Meyer, Ms Ines, what''s the deal here? Why the hell
did you bring the police to the hospital?"
"About Mr Galeana''s sudden death, we got a call saying it wasn''t an ident, so we need your
cooperation in our investigation."
Shirley let out a smallugh and corrected, “Officer, let''s get this straight. I''m Hunter''s wife. Please
call me Mrs Galeana.”
n Lin hesitated, then said, “My apologies, Mrs Galeana, we need your cooperation in our
investigation.”
"Who gave you the right to do this? I am Hunter''s wife. Who called the police? I don''t recall making
any calls. Please leave. I don''t want my husband to be disturbed. He just wanted to leave quietly."
Shirley said coldly.
"It was the butler of the Galeana family, Mr Galeana''s secretary Ss who called us. We came here
after receiving the call."
Shirley nced at Ss and told the police, “I am Hunter''s wife, and let me make this clear, we don’t
need your investigation. I know my husband''s health condition very well. He has been suffering from
hypertension for many years. There''s nothing unusual. Please leave.”
n Lin looked at Ethan with difficulty. This case was unlike other criminal cases where they could
proceed with the investigation forcibly. If the family did not want the police to interfere, they could
not start their work.
Upon hearing this, Ines couldn’t help but step forward, and red at Shirley: “Shirley, if you have
nothing to hide, why are you afraid of an investigation? Officer Lin, I am the deceased''s daughter
and want you to investigate this thoroughly.”
Shirley looked at Ines as if she had heard a joke, mocking, “Did I hear that right? Are you his
daughter? Since I married him, I’ve never heard you call him dad. Now that he''s gone, you suddenly
appear. What''s your motive? You know it very well.”
Emma, still thinking about what Hunter told herst night, pulled Shirley’s arm, “Mom, just let them
investigate. If it’s an ident, it’s good, but I sincerely hope no one did this on purpose.”
“Emma, have you lost your mind? Don’t you know why they are here? Isn’t it obvious they are after
the Galeana Group’s fortune? When have you ever seen them this proactive before? Even when we
invite them for dinner, Ss has to call several times.”
Hearing her mother say this, Emma looked at Ethan and Ines, choosing to remain silent.
Ines was shaking with anger, “Shirley, stop talking nonsense.”
Ss stood up: “Officer Lin, I can confirm that Ms Ines is indeed Mr Galeana''s biological daughter.
You can act ording to her instructions.”
“Ss, you’ve always been close to them. Who can be sure you guys haven''t teamed up to take
over the Galeana Group’s fortune? Your words are not convincing.”
“My words may not count, but Mr Galeana left a letter. If anything happened to him, he wanted me
to send it to all the newspapers, telling everyone that he had misunderstood his daughter, Ines. He
thought she made a serious mistake, so he kicked her out of the house. He wanted to exin this
situation to the public.” As Ss spoke, he took out a letter from his pocket.
Ines quickly took it. It was indeed Hunter''s handwriting, and it was an apology letter. He apologized
to her in public, saying he had misunderstood her.
Thest sentence was, “My Izzy, she has always been my most beloved daughter, and I want to
apologize to her.”
Tears rolled down Ines’s cheeks; then.....
Tears rolled down Ines’s cheeks.
Shirley''s face turned ugly, and she remained silent with her lips tightly sealed.
Seeing the situation, n Lin asked Shirley, “Mrs Galeana, where were you when this happened?”
“I was sleeping.” Shirley''s hand tightened slightly.
“You were sleeping? Didn''t you notice when your husband got up?”
Shirley chuckled, “You should ask him. He should know better than anyone.” Shirley pointed at
Ss.
Ss''s face also turned pale. It was difficult to say, but he confessed, “Mr Galeana and Mrs Galeana
have not been sleeping in the same bedroom. Their bedrooms are on different floors.”
Ines’ hand also tightened. Even though she already knew this, hearing Ss say it made her sad.
Ethan held her hand tightly.
n Lin paused for a moment and then continued to ask, “So you live on the second floor. Did you
hear any noise?”N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.
“No, when I heard the noise and came out, Hunter was already lying on the floor. Ss was standing
beside him.” Shirley was expressionless, showing no emotion on her face.
No matter what n Lin asked, Shirley always said she didn’t know..
The Galeana family didn''t have any surveince, and Shirley insisted that she was sleeping in her
room the whole time and didn''t hear any noise. n Lin couldn''t get any helpful information out of
her. He said he would have to go back topare the statements of others before deciding what to
do next.
Ethan patted Ines''s hand, “Don''t worry. If there is any hidden truth, it will be revealed.”
“Ethan, Shirley''s attitude is very unusual. After such a big thing happened, she didn''t cry or make a
fuss. She was so calm.”
Ethan''s eyes flickered. He always felt Shirley was moreplicated than Emma, “Don''t worry. If
she did it, there will always be traces to find.”
At that moment, Lauren Nelson and Cam rushed over. Ethan handed Ines over to them and went
with Ss to take care of Hunter''s affairs.
The two brought Ines straight back to their ce in the city. Ines clutched her father''s letter, not
uttering a word, and seemed somewhat lost.
Lauren gently brushed her cheek, "Izzy, you can''t be like this. You have got to keep it together,
especially now. The Galeana Group''s business is all on you and Ethan now. But Ethan. He''s not an
employee, he can''t get involved in the Galeana Group''s business. So, you need to step up. He''ll be
there backing you up. The Galeana Group was your father''s pride and joy. You gotta protect it for
him, got it?"
After hearing this, a faint glimmer sparked in Ines''s eyes. She silently stared at Lauren, her face
void of expression, making her feel as if all the sadness in the world was welling up at once. Lauren
felt a tightness in her chest. She lifted her hand to cover Ines''s eyes, "Izzy, don''t look at me like that.
It breaks my heart."
