Chapter 524
Seeing this message, Keira frowned. She suddenly felt it was ridiculous. One man was dead, and another was still in the emergency room, hanging onto his life. Did that mean nothing to the other party? Were they just tools for her to complete her mission?!
….
If they could treat human life so heartlessly to make her complete the mission, she would rather not do such a mission at all!
Keira clenched her fists tightly and looked at Nara. She stepped forward, protecting Nara. If the Gill family dared to touch Nara, Keira would protect the girl at the cost of offending the Gill family again!
But just as Keira was thinking this, she saw…
Lady Gill suddenly squatted down, hugging Nara. “Barbara, what nonsense are you talking about? He’s your brother! It’s his duty to ensure your safety!”
Mr. Gill, standing nearby, also began speaking with tearful eyes, “Barbara, how could we blame you? If it hadn’t been for you, it would have been your brother who got kidnapped by traffickers back then. He owes you his life!”
Austin’s two elder brothers stepped forward, and one of them sighed. “Austin has been childish. He has mistreated you, but throughout these years, Austin has been searching for you everywhere. Do you know that he would travel every year, not for leisure, but to look for you in other cities…”
Lady Gill wiped away her tears. “We were about to give up, but Austin never did! I know he’s a scoundrel and a bastard. He has deeply hurt you… Barbara, I’m not asking you to forgive him or me. Just don’t push us away. Let us protect you without disturbing you, okay?”
Hearing those words, Nara looked at them in disbelief. After a moment, she suddenly hugged Lady Gill, weeping aloud, “Mom!!”
Lady Gill gently patted her back. “Barbara, don’t cry, your brother will be fine. I promise!”
Nara immediately nodded. The two Gill brothers came forward, one holding Lady Gill, the other holding Nara. “Mom, Sister, let’s get up and talk.”
Nara and Lady Gill stood up, and the family waited outside the operating room for an update. Keira stood in the corner, not joining the Gill family…
She quietly stood there, suddenly feeling that blood relation was a strange thing… It made the villain Austin brave danger to save his sister…
But with Mary, her parents could so heartlessly use her as a tool for making money.
Keira sighed and then took out her phone, and as expected, she saw that the same number had sent another message. “I didn’t expect Crera’s family bonds to be like this… Keira, this time, you’re fortunate in this incident! The Fox’s meddling has accidentally helped you resolve the hard feelings between Nara and the Gill family… But next time, you might not be so lucky! Watch out for the Fox!”
Keira frowned. The Fox… who exactly is this person code-named Fox?
Was it Susan? Or was there someone else behind Susan? What role did they play in the affairs of the Gill family?
Keira quickly sent a message to Lewis. “Help me interrogate Mrs. Spencer, see if there’s any clue about the Fox!”
No sooner had she sent the message than Lewis appeared silently beside her, speaking in a low voice, “I’ve found some information about the Fox.”
Keira immediately walked with Lewis to the end of the corridor near the stairwell, and Lewis ensured there was no one around before he said, “I used some contacts on my end and interrogated Mrs. Spencer. It turns out she has been talking with someone online known as Fox. The two met on the internet. Mrs. Spencer felt a close bond, and the other party patiently chatted with her, easing her loneliness and helping her deal with solitude. They are best friends…”
Keira’s brows knitted together upon hearing this. “Was it this Fox who egged on Mrs. Spencer to separate Gary from Nara?”
Lewis nodded. “Exactly. According to their chat logs, Mrs. Spencer has always been quite indulgent toward Gary. So, after he pestered her for a long time to accept a mute girl as his girlfriend, Mrs. Spencer confided her helpless feeling to Fox, thinking she might eventually give in to her son’s wish. It was Fox who urged her to oppose firmly and even suggested that she could use suicide as leverage… Later, when Mrs. Spencer was complaining about her son blaming her, Fox again suggested that Nara could be Gary’s mistress, which would end any possibility between Gary and Nara.”
Keira clenched her fists. “And Gary’s death?”
Lewis nodded. “That was Fox’s doing too. Apparently, Gary realized Mrs. Spencer was manipulating him after he saw the chat logs between her and Fox, which led him to resent her and lose the will to live…”
Keira took a deep breath. “Is there enough evidence for the police to make an arrest?”
Lewis shook his head. “The clever part about the person is that they haven’t done anything illegal. It was all normal conversation, and all incitement was done in a normal tone. There was nothing excessive. Fox even led Mrs. Spencer to say things herself…”
Keira tensed her jaw.
Just then, the door to the operating room opened, and the doctors and nurses came out. The Gill family surged forward, surrounding the doctors. “Doctor, how is Austin?”
Keira immediately looked over with concern…
