His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 651

“You’re right. I'm a suspect, but I'm not afraid to be investigated.” Lily looked at Jonathan with a faint smile and continued, "Besides, when it comes to suspects, everybody in this family has a possibility of being the culprit.

“Since you oversee our family affairs and are willing to seek justice for my grandfather, so does a thorough investigation. Remember that the three-day due date will come soon. Tomorrow, you have to give me a satisfactory answer."

Jonathan was shocked by Lily’s imposing manner and took a while to react. No, she was most suspicious and should be the first to interrogate, but how could he be the one who owed her an explanation?

"Lily! Stop quibbling. My reason for not making a big deal of this matter is entirely for the Lodge family's pride. Now that you’ve spread the news and let everyone know about it. What is your intention?!"

Jonathan knocked his cane heavily on the floor, making a loud banging sound. "You want an explanation?! Fine. You don't have to wait for the elders to come over tomorrow. I will tell you now. The lab report has proved that the scented candles contained chronic poison.

“If you are sensible, admit your doings now. Then this matter will stay within the family while we implement the punishment with family rules. Otherwise, we will imprison you!"

‘Tsk tsk, this is a direct accusation toward me. He even neglected the so-called evidence.’

Lily thought Jonathan would at least hypocritically present some evidence, but instead, he wanted to convict her with just a few sentences.

Lily laughed angrily. "Sure, I don't like to be sneaky, so I'll go to court and put myself in jail."

"It's just..." After a pause, she continued, "The police will not care about sensibilities as our family does. They only deal based on evidence. I'm afraid that, ultimately, it's hard to say who will get arrested."

"Do you think you can escape your crime?" With a cold snort, Jonathan seemed to have remembered something. He raised his eyes and looked at Alexander. "So, that’s why you won't listen to your elders. It turns out you have support and protection from someone."
