Chapter 373
After a long silence, Sam said, "Maybe, none of them lied. The one who lied... is Alex."
Gale was startled. "Alex?"
"If I guessed correctly, Alex found Shawn and asked him to give half of the shares to Zach to support his half-brother. However, Shawn is not willing. Alex understands this son's character and knows this matter needs to be negotiated slowly, and it won't work out in awhile."
"So Alex planned to approach Shawn first, express his ideas, and then discuss them. Who knew, that night, Zach's girlfriend was pregnant and got him into trouble. When he told his father, Alex was very angry, and in a fit of anger, he said that he would not give any shares to him, which made Zach feel dissatisfied. Alex's words made Zach feel ashamed and hopeless."
"Then the next day... Alex was seriously injured in a car accident. Peter went to the emergency room for treatment, but a medication error hastened Alex's death." Sam's expression was solemn.
After finishing speaking, the whole box fell silent.
After a long while, Gale said, "Is there a possibility that even the car accident was a conspiracy?"
Sam shook his head. "It's unlikely."
"Why?
"How could he fool everyone by causing a car accident? After Alex passed away, Shawn must have sent someone to conduct a careful investigation to make sure it was an accident so that he can pin the fault on Peter."
Gale digested Sam's words. "So, the car accident was a sudden event. But Paula and Zach thought it was an opportunity, so they simply became cruel and changed Alex's medicine, letting him... die."
"Very likely, the truth is what you just said."
Gale closed her eyes and sighed. "But...there is no evidence.
"How do I look for evidence?"
Alex had passed away more than two years ago, and there were not many traces of anything.
The doctors and nurses in the hospital had already changed several times.
"You can't find evidence, Gale. If Zach had left any clues, Shawn would have found out."
"Then what should we do..."
