After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 235

"I will investigate what really happened," Gideon interrupted her in a low voice. "But if you dare to lie to me, I won't spare the Rowan family or the Brent family."

With that, Gideon took one last look at Lilith and turned to leave.

Roxanne, who had been wiping away tears, now had a dark glint in her eyes.

She took out her phone and called Nathan. The call was answered almost immediately.

"This hot spring is really nice. You should come try it sometime," Nathan said from the other end, soaking comfortably.

"You were right, honey. When you get older, you can't worry about so many things. It's time to enjoy life."

"Darling, Lilith passed away..." Roxanne said, her voice choked with sobs.

"And Aria was the only one with her when it happened. What are we going to do? Now the police want to investigate Aria..."

"What?" Nathan was stunned. He quickly replied, "Aria has already cut ties with us. Nothing she does will involve us!"

His own biological daughter was dead, and Nathan's first thought was whether Aria would drag the Rowan family down with her.

Roxanne's eyes filled with scorn, but she kept her voice weak. "The medical examiner wants to perform an autopsy on Lilith. Should we agree? If we do, won't Aria officially become a suspect? That would be an embarrassment for the Evernight family, and things would get difficult for them... But Lilith died so mysteriously, I really don't know what to do..."

On the other end of the line, Nathan's tone turned cold. "Aria made her own mistake. It's only right that she be investigated. Old Mr. Evernight is not an unreasonable man. If he wants us to show mercy, we'll see how sincere the Evernight family is. If they truly want to protect Aria, they'll handle it. If they don't, then a life for a life. It's only fair!"

Roxanne nodded repeatedly. "Then please hurry back, darling. I'll wait for you to take charge."
