Meeting The One For Me

At that time, George and his wife, Edith, insisted on adopting Ryan. Thus, Wilfred had no choice but to give in.

He thought that Ryan was just an adopted son, and there would be plenty of ways to drive him out of the Lambert Corporation in the future.

After all, Wilfred was blood–related to the Lambert family.

At the very least, he could have his child adopted by George, ensuring that he would inherit half of the Lambert family’s fortune.

George was eager to marry Ryan and Cecilia to keep Wilfred out.

He wanted to find a powerful family for Ryan, ensuring Ryan could maintain control of the Lambert Corporation after his passing.

A few days ago, Wilfred heard that George intended to adopt a foster daughter for Wanda, and that girl happened to be Ryan’s relative.

Wilfred couldn’t sit still.

“You’re spouting nonsense! These documents must have been forged!” Lyra held the documents and looked at George. “Uncle George, do you trust an outsider more than your own blood relative?”

Wilfred suddenly spoke up, “Yes! George! You can’t trust this outsider, Ryan! He’s only after our family’s fortune!”

“You guys are beating a dead horse.” Ryan glanced at his watch. “In another ten minutes, the hired killer you paid to kill Ms. Wanda all those years ago will be brought here in custody.”

Wilfred widened his eyes and instinctively glanced at George. He almost lost his footing after seeing George’s dark and stern face.

“Bullshit!” Wilfred raised his voice.

Audrey helped George sit down.

“Grandpa, if the evidence is clear, although the statute of limitations has passed, the judicial authorities can seek approval from the district attorney’s office to initiate prosecution if they deem it necessary.

“For suspects evading investigation or trial, there is no time limit for prosecution,

“Furthermore, 13 years ago, when the prosecution period was still valid, Wilfred bribed the household staff to drug you, intending to commit both theft and murder for the Lambert family’s assets.

“Although Paige discovered you in time, your health has never been the same since. We can send Mr. Wilfred to prison for all of this.”

Ryan unbuttoned his suit jacket and sat down on the couch. “Once we’ve straightened things out, we’ll call the police. They will decide if I’m speaking the truth.”

Wilfred had approached Wanda as her uncle, and he had taken her away when she was least on guard.

At that time, when he handed her over to the killer, the intention was indeed for them to end Wanda’s life.

However, what Wilfred didn’t expect was that despite paying the killer, Wanda was not killed. In fact, he had no idea where she had been taken.

Even more surprising was the discovery of Wanda over a decade later. Although Wanda survived, Wilfred was relieved that she became mentally unstable.

When she was first found, Wilfred had tried every means to contact the killer but couldn’t reach him, and the matter was left unresolved. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Unexpectedly, Ryan claimed to have found the killer from back then.

Lyra grasped her father’s hand firmly, her expression resolute. “My father never did what you’re accusing him of. Are you trying to frame him by just bringing anyone over?”

Lyra turned to George, who had remained silent. “Uncle George, say something! Ryan and Audrey are trying to eliminate all your loved ones!”

George almost blurted out Audrey’s true identity. No one was closer to him than Audrey when it came to blood relations.
