Jane felt her legs go soft. She had to support herself with the wall.

She felt a chill down her spine, looking at the terrifying scene in front of her.

Blood pooled on the floor. The pungent smell of blood filled the air, making Jane unable to

think.

Holding on to the wall, she slowly moved to the couch.

Her tears gushed out when she saw what was lying beside the couch.

“Honey! Sarah!” Jane rushed over. “What happened?” she howled.

The loving man who always talked to her in a gentle voice could no longer wipe away the

tears on her cheeks.

“Honey! Don’t Leave me! How am I going to live if you leave me?” Jane let out a heart-

wrenching cry.

“Mommy? What… what happened?” It was Sasha’s voice from the door.

“I don’t know. Who could be so cruel and kill him? He was the most friendly person I know

and got along well with everybody.” said Jane in a hoarse voice.

Sasha was terrified. “What happened to Daddy? Daddy! Don’t leave us! Daddy!” she cried

loudly to hide her fear.

Suddenly, she saw a dagger in Leah’s hand, who lay unconsciously on the floor next to

Gordon.

“Mommy, look at her hand. Is that the weapon that killed Daddy?”

Jane looked over with her teary ears. Indeed, there was a dagger in Leah’s hand.

Jane gasped. She could not believe it!

Slipping in and out of consciousness, Leah faintly heard someone crying loudly.

She felt dizzy and a sharp pain shot from the back of her head.

Still disoriented, Leah woke up with her hand on her head. She saw Jane holding Gordon in

her arms and wailed.

Sasha was sitting next to Jane, staring at Leah with her bloodshot eyes blazed with hatred.

Leah finally remembered.

Dad… Dad…

Leah quickly crawled to Gordon. He was dead. Jane was trying to catch her breath amidst

crying.

Leah walked to Jane and held her. “Mom, don’t be sad. I know who killed Dad, and I swear I

will get him!”

At that moment, Sasha ran over and pushed Leah away.

“Stop pretending! You are the murderer! You killed Daddy!” said Sasha through her gritted

teeth as she glared at Leah.

Leah furrowed her brows. “No, Sasha, it wasn’t me. When I found Dad, he was already…

But I saw the murderer. It was Charlie Parridge!” she quickly explained.

“Nonsense! Charlie Parridge was your adoptive father. Wasn’t he dead already? Sarah

White, I couldn’t believe you are so cold-hearted! Didn’t Daddy treat you well? How could

you kill him?” Sasha was yelling at the top of her lungs.

“No, it wasn’t me. It really wasn’t me…” Leah shook her head.

“You are still holding the murder weapon. You are the murderer! Who else could it be?”

Sasha pointed at Leah’s hand.

It was then Leah realized she was holding a dagger in her hand.

She was shocked and dropped the dagger like a hot potato onto the floor. She looked at

Jane. “You have to believe me. It wasn’t me! I will catch the murderer…”

Jane closed her eyes, and tears ran down her cheeks.

Then, she held Gordon’s cold, lifeless body and started to drag it to a room.

“Sasha, come and help me,” she said.

Jane did not ask Leah for help.

She did not even look at Leah anymore.

Leah felt like her head was going to burst.

Thud!

A loud noise came from behind.

Leah turned her head and found Jane had fainted.

She quickly ran over and wanted to help Jane, but Sasha pushed her away. “Don’t touch

them, you murderer! I am calling the police!”

“It really wasn’t me. Why can’t you trust me?”

“The evidence is clear as day. So how can I trust you?”

Sasha gave Leah another glare. Then, she helped Jane return to her room before making a

phone call.

Leah was still bewildered by the situation. She sat on the floor and looked at the blood-

smudged floor. She was unable to think of anything.

After a while, sirens were blazing outside. The criminal investigators had arrived.

A group of men in uniform came in. “Where’s the murderer?”

Sasha came down from the stairs and pointed at Leah, who was covered in blood. “There

she is. She killed my Dad!”

“No! It wasn’t me!” Leah shook her head and denied.

I didn’t do it!

“You will come with us. We’ll know whether you did it after the investigation. Right now,

you are the prime suspect.”

Leah spaced out. “No, it wasn’t me. I know who the murderer is,” she kept muttering.

“We will see after checking the crime scene. So let’s go,” said the crime investigator flatly.

Leah was pulled up from the floor, but after experiencing such traumatic events, Leah lost

her will and strength. Immediately she fell to the floor.

The fate of the White family of Linkville had changed completely over a night!

The news spread like wildfire. By the morning, everyone in Linkville knew the news: the

head of the White family was murdered by the long-lost daughter who had recently

reunited.

Every newspaper headline reported the news, along with pictures of Leah brought away by

criminal investigators.

It was the most discussed news in Linkville.

“Oh gosh! How terrifying is that?”

“Sentence her to death!”

“Exactly! She doesn’t deserve to live!”

“Killing your own father, that ungrateful, wicked witch!”

The comments on various online forums were unforgiving.

Eventually, the news reached Molly.

She was cutting a piece of steak elegantly in a restaurant and looking at Han with a know-

it-all expression. “Han, did you know how ungrateful the girl the White family brought back

not long ago?”

Han frowned. ” What do you mean?”

“She murdered Gordon White. When the White family called the police, Mrs. White did not

even defend her. I’m sure she is definitely going to jail this time.” Molly smirked. “Oh, she

is such a wicked person. I think we better not get too close with someone with a

suspicious past.”

However, Han did not hear what Molly said.

Leah is a murderer?

That’s impossible!

Those were the first thoughts that came to Han’s mind.
