"Natalia, help me gather all the guests tonight. I have something to say."
"Okay, I'll go now."
"Kayden, I'll leave Ralph to you. Please follow up on the police investigation. The lawyer team also needs to get ready. We can't let Ralph suffer any losses."
Kayden immediately nodded and said, "Aunt, don't worry. Uncle was wronged. I won't let them succeed."
Lottie nodded calmly and then looked at Violet. "Violet, call Connie. Tell her not to come over and go straight back to the company. Let the PR team have it all control."
She had to do her best to protect Ralph so that he wouldn't be slandered or charged with murder.
"OK!" Violet knew that the situation was urgent, so she immediately took out her phone and called Connie.
After Lottie arranged a series of things in an orderly manner, she looked around the scene. Finally, she walked to a corner and took out her phone to call Alfred.
"Al..." Before she could finish her words, she heard Alfred's calm voice, "I'll be right there."
Alfred had received news that something had happened to Eve earlier than Lottie and the others, so he prepared earlier.
Lottie let out a small sigh of relief when she heard Alfred's words.
"What's going on?" Lottie still couldn't believe it. "Is Eve really dead?"
There was a sound of the door being closed from Alfred's side. Lottie did not know if he was going to get in or get out of the car.
Alfred quickly replied, "She fell from the 16th floor and died. It was terrible."
Lottie was silent for a moment. With mixed feelings inside, she was lost for words.
As for Molly's matter, she didn't know the details, because York and Ralph were the ones discussing how to deal with it.
She didn't even know that this incident would have such a huge impact on Eve, so much so that she was dead unexpectedly.
"Most likely, she didn't commit suicide. Someone pushed her down the stairs." Alfred quickly added.
Lottie was surprised. "How do you know that?"
"After receiving the news, I contacted my friend as soon as possible. He is a member of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Municipal Bureau. He leaked some information to me."
Lottie was shocked by Alfred's connections and asked, "Then who is the murderer? Why did the police take Ralph away? He's been with me today, so he doesn't have time to commit the crime..."
"Did Ralph leave for a period of time?"
Lottie paused. She suddenly remembered that at noon, Ralph had indeed left for a short period of time.
"Yes, he said that he had something to deal with in the company, and helped us get lunch, so he went out for about... an hour or so?"
Ralph had been very busy for the past hour. How could he go to kill Eve?
"According to their investigation, the time of Eve's death is very close to the time when he left. Moreover, the location of Eve's fall is very close to the gymnasium. So, it's possible for a round trip within an hour."
Most importantly, the police found many things related to Ralph on Eve's phone. Furthermore, Ralph's fingerprints were at the place where Eve had fallen.
That was why the police immediately listed Ralph as the prime suspect.
Lottie shook her head. "That's impossible!"
"I know, but the police need evidence." Alfred's tone was low. "This may be a little tricky."
He thought for a moment and said, "Now that Ralph is not there, it will be easier for Lincoln to take action. You ask someone to protect Natalia first and then evacuate the fans on the scene. I will let Connie release the notice of the delay of the concert later, and a compensation plan will be attached."
