Harrier questioned Hazel, “Hazel, are you crazy? The fact that Francesca released her snake to poison your father to death was clear as day! What does it have to do with Mrs. President? Who brainwashed you to act like a lunatic?”
Hazel lifted her head to look at Harrier. “Harrier Harrington. “You weren't present when the incident occurred, and you didn't examine my father's body or investigate the case after the incident occurred. Do you even understand what's going on? Why do you insist that this has nothing to do with Mrs. President?”
“What reason does she have to do this?” Harrier threw the question back at her.
Kevin chimed in, “He's right. Why would Mrs. President want to kill your father? She has no reason to do so.”
“There's no need for me to explain her motive for murdering my father because both of you know it better than I do. We're all clear on the situation, so let's not pretend to be dumb.” Hazel stared at them with annoyance.
“You—”
Hazel uttered furiously, “You guys assume that by cornering Mr. Lindberg and placing the Lindberg family in the president's control, you'll reap more benefits. I think that's just a foolish fantasy. Since the president used such unscrupulous methods to deal with Mr. Lindberg, he can use similar methods to deal with us in the future. Once the Lindberg family is completely under their control, we would have served our purpose, and we would meet our doom!”
Upon hearing those words, Kevin's expression changed greatly as his eyes darted around amidst his state of panic.
“I think that there's something wrong with your brain.” Harrier paid no heed to Hazel's words. “Why are you spouting nonsense? Everything happened because the two of you are competing over jealousy! Why must you drag the president and his wife into your sordid affairs?”
“Why are you still putting on an act? What's the point?” Hazel couldn't be bothered to reason with them anymore. “It's only natural that you think you're the greatest beneficiary. After all, someone will have to take charge of Lindberg Corporation in the future. The Atkinson family has fallen, Mr. Lindberg is no longer here. and Mr. Yarrow isn't presentable. Hence, you'll be the one at the helm. However, do you really wield any substantial power? You'll be a puppet at most.”
“You—”
Harrier wanted to retort her, but Hazel could not care less and had already walked away.
