Lorraine's eyes, which were painted with light golden eye-shadow, glanced at me. Then she smiled meaningfully and said, "You're definitely Scott's daughter, because you make me disgusted no matter how many times I see you."
"Really? When I see you, I feel very uncomfortable as well." I replied fearlessly.
"Little girl, how dare you." Lorraine had never been answered back before. She looked at me with a sullen face and said with cold eyes.
I sneered, "So what?"
Lorraine's face suddenly became extremely angry because of my impoliteness.
It could be considered the first battle between me and Lorraine.
After grandpa's funeral was over, everyone left except Ashe, Edward, Cornelia, and me.
I knelt in front of grandfather's tombstone and looked at his photo sadly.
I still remembered that grandpa and Ashe had so much fun not long ago, and he even left a large amount of inheritances to me and my mother. But he was dead.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry." I covered my face with my hands, then bust into tears.
"Ashley, don't cry." Edward squatted down and hugged me tightly. "Edward, I'm so sad."
My mother hadn't woken up, and my grandfather was dead. I was really sad.
"If you are sad, grandpa will be sadder. He doesn't like you to be cowardly. Tears have always been a symbol of the weak. What we need to do now is to find the murderer who killed grandfather." Edward wiped away my tears with his fingers, and his cold eyes were filled of hatred.
"Yes, I must find the murderer who killed my grandfather. I will definitely not let the murderer go."
I slowly stood up, looked at my grandpa's photo, clenched my fists, looked at Edward and said firmly.
Edward touched my face lovingly and said with deep eyes, "That's right. This is the Ashley whom I know."
Grandpa, wait for me. I would definitely find out the murderer who killed you.
A week later, Lawyer Hong came to divide the inheritance. Before grandfather died, he didn't say any last words, and the property of the Ye family could only be divided equally.
When those people were quarreling, I took out the contract that grandpa gave me, then my uncles became very unhappy.
"Where did you get this contract? I knew it was you who killed my father. You vicious woman. I must give you a lesson. Will, send her to the police station immediately." Looking at the contract in my hand, my aunt was so angry that she even asked the housekeeper to send me to the police station.
But she was stopped by lawyer Hong.
"What do you mean? Do you want to help Ashley? Let me tell you, this is our Ye family's business. We didn't ask you to come and divide the property." Those elders were very unsatisfied with lawyer Hong's behavior, and they sneered at him.
"I am Mrs. Xi's lawyer. Her grandpa gave her this document personally. Here is his signature."
Lawyer Hong's words made them surprised. But soon, they began to shout, "So what? Maybe Ashley played some tricks. Otherwise, how could dad give her two-thirds of the Ye family's property? She is just a granddaughter. How could dad leave his property to her rather than us?"
"That's right. I think that it was her who killed dad. She forced dad to sign the contract and then killed him."
"Send Ashley to prison."
Looking at those people, I smiled, took out my mobile phone, and said to them, "Since you think that it's impossible for grandpa to give these things to me, let's see what grandpa said at that time. I have recorded everything, and you can check whether this video is true or not."
Then I played the video I recorded. My uncles and other relatives couldn't say a word.
"Does anyone have any objection?" Lawyer Hong looked at them and asked.
With the video and recording, there was no way for my uncles and other relatives to refute me. Then the lawyer divided the property. In the end, Edward handed over the evidence he got to the lawyer.
Edward found the evidence that my two uncles colluded with the elder to kill grandpa, and the witness was the doctor who injected grandpa the drug. Then I remembered that the figures I saw that night were two of my uncles.
It was not until my uncles and the elder were sent to the police station that this matter finally came to an end.
Ryan's father was very upset. He probably didn't expect that his two younger brothers would be so cruel to kill grandpa for property.
I didn't know how to comfort him. It was better to let Ryan comfort him.
Cornelia and Ryan were in love, and they were about to get married.
I stayed in the Ye family for a few days and then left there with Edward.
The Ye family's affairs had come to an end, and the death of my grandfather was a blow to me.
The first thing I did when I returned to Beijing was to tell everything to my father.
He looked at me with a calm expression and sighed, "So... he died in that way."
"Dad, don't be sad." I held Leonard's hand and said to him.
Leonard shook his head wearily and said to me with a wry smile, "In fact, I have always respected him, although he had never regarded me as his son-in- law over the years." "I know."
I looked at Leonard and nodded, "In fact, grandpa had admitted you a long time ago, but he was too embarrassed to tell you that. Before he died, he said that you are a great person."
"You must suffer a lot in the Ye family." My father reached out his hand, touched my hair, and said.
