“I mean it when I said no. What’s wrong? Don’t you believe me?” As Sisley spoke, she grabbed a cleansing sheet to wipe away the eyeliner and continued to put on makeup.
Even though Hera was suspicious of Sisley, she didn’t have any proof.
Her mother’s answer put her at ease.
We have depended on each other for so many years. Mom won’t lie to me. Why would she?
She has nothing to do with Grandpa’s accident.
That’s great... If Mom really did it, she will be in deep trouble once the police find out.
She couldn’t imagine the severity of the consequences.
As much as she wanted to be the Chapman family’s successor, she never thought about hurting her grandpa.
How can I take someone’s life to achieve my goal?
“Okay, put on your makeup quickly. Once you’re done, we will go to the hospital to visit Grandpa.” Hera calmed herself down and told her mother.
Meanwhile, Sisley continued to put on makeup seriously and said, “Since he is in the ICU now, we can’t do anything even if we are there.”
“If we don’t go to the hospital, I’m sure my uncle and the rest will complain about us,” Hera still wished to stay by Mr. Chapman’s side to show that she cared for him.
They wasted quite some time and finally arrived at the hospital at noon.
Much to their surprise, Ashlyn was already waiting in front of the ICU.
“She’s shedding crocodile tears,” Sisley’s twitched as she muttered in disdain. She couldn’t help but feel angry once she recalled Ashlyn was Fiona’s daughter.
Nevertheless, she wouldn’t tell Ashlyn about it.
Even though the other Chapmans guessed the same thing, none wished to reveal Ashlyn’s identity.
Since Fiona caused outrage in the family before, they wanted to avoid anyone related to her.
As such, they kept the secret to themselves.
On the other hand, Ashlyn didn’t glance at Sisley but continued to discuss with the doctor beside her.
“Doctor, you said his condition is stable, but there are numerous bone fractures in his body. Does he have a brain injury?” Ashlyn asked softly.
After all, the situation could deteriorate in no time if he had a brain injury.
