His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 623

"Well said! If there’s another reason for my grandfather's death, I’ll investigate the truth! So..." Lily looked around. "Let's report it to the police!"

She pulled out her mobile phone as she spoke, "Since we all have different opinions, we might as well hand this matter over to the police. It’s the fairest thing to do to get justice. When the investigation is cleared, Grandpa can rest in peace."

However, her arm was held against her before she could dial the number. Jonathan frowned and said solemnly, "You can't call the police!"

"That's right. You can't call the police." The elders surrounding them all spoke up. Surprisingly, they all decided against contacting the police.

"The Lodge family is a plutocratic family with a century-old foundation. It would be a shame for our family if something like this were to spread, regardless of who was responsible. The Lodge family must resolve things internally, and when we identify the guilty party, we’ll give them a fitting punishment. No outsiders shall intervene!"

Jonathan's words were the voice of most of the elders, and they all nodded in approval.

"Granduncle Jonathan! This is a serious issue involving my grandfather's passing rather than a trivial dispute. If someone intentionally did this to my grandfather, they’d be guilty of murder. How could you settle this within the family?"

The fact that these traditionalists refused to call the police and instead sought to settle the situation personally caught Lily off guard.

"You shouldn’t assume that your education gives you carte blanche to do whatever you like. I assure you that as long as I live, I’ll continue to have a say in the Lodge family. It isn’t your place to give me a lecture. We’ll investigate the cause of your grandfather's death. Nonetheless, you’re no longer a member of the Lodge family if you dare to call the police and ruin the hundreds of years of the good name our family has earned. Never come back to this family!"

Jonathan glared at her with his stern words.

Lily glanced over and saw that everyone was silent as they agreed with this statement. She looked at Justin again. He remained mute, seemingly oblivious to the conversation, as if it had nothing to do with him.
