At the sight of Lizbeth suddenly growing so emotional, Josephine inquired with puzzlement on her face, “What's wrong? Jared is really great! I know him well, and I've even met his parents.”
“What do you know about him? Do you know that he's a murderer? He wiped out the Whitaker family! He's truly ruthless!” Lizbeth blurted the truth, no longer able to hold herself back.
However, regret swamped her when she had done so. After all, it wasn't appropriate for Josephine to know about such a thing.
She initially thought that Josephine would be shocked to learn about that. To her surprise, the latter remained calm and unruffled. Instead, she even admitted with a nod, “I know. He only did that because of me!”
“Because of you?” Mystification was written all over Lizbeth's face.
Josephine then recounted everything she had experienced, including the incident at Yeringham.
“How despicable of that Tyrion Whitaker! Death was indeed a fitting end for him!”
After hearing the entire story, Lizbeth was so incandescent that she slammed her fist onto the table.
“Lizbeth... Don't tell me you came to Horington this time to arrest Jared?” Josephine questioned as realization abruptly dawned upon her.
Words eluded Lizbeth for a moment, and she didn't quite know how to answer her.
“Lizbeth, if you're here to arrest him, don't blame me for cutting ties with you. Besides, he was the one who saved Mr. Grange, so you can't repay his kindness with enmity!”
Josephine's expression turned a touch frosty.
“What? He saved Grandpa's life?” Lizbeth exclaimed.
I never knew that'.
“Of course! Go and ask Mr. Grange if you don't believe me. However, I’m not sure about the specifics either.”
Josephine merely heard Jared mentioning it every now and then, but she had no idea what exactly happened.
