The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet) novel Chapter 495

Of course, Ethan wouldn't just trust in this woman's words. He went to the ward of Janet's coach, who was also severely injured in the accident.

The coach's foot was in a bulky cast. Knowing that Ethan was here to ask about the accident, he recounted the details carefully. "I was explaining the dos and don'ts to Mrs. Larson when I noticed her friend sneaking around the parachute equipment. I didn't think much of it because at the time, I just thought she was curious about the equipment, like our other customers usually are."

If the coach hadn't been questioned by Ethan, he would've forgotten all about it.

After interrogating the coach, Ethan went back to Janet's ward to take care of her.

Beal and Johanna stayed in Janet's ward, too. They didn't ask how the investigation was going until Janet was taken to the doctor's office for a follow-up examination.

"I have a suspect." Ethan went straight to the point.

Now that he had pieced together the puzzle, he felt that Lila was very likely to be the one who tampered with Janet's parachute.

When Lila answered Janet's phone earlier, she kept crying profusely and refused to even finish a sentence.

Logically speaking, she was already a grown woman, not some child. Even if she was scared out of her wits, she wouldn't have cried that like. It was more likely that she was deliberately stalling him, hindering him from saving Janet

Beal seldom got angry. He was usually gentle and non-confrontational, and even when he was angry, he usually wouldn't show it on his face. But now, he looked absolutely enraged. "Since you have a suspect, let's call the police. I doubt anyone in Barnes would dare to go against the White family."

Ethan pursed his lips and didn't say anything. After all, he hadn't questioned Lila yet.

"I'll tell you who it is when I come back." After saying that, Ethan pulled Lila's skydiving coach aside for a talk.

At this time, Lila was sitting on a bench in the corridor, crying her eyes out.

Ethan locked eyes with Lila and said ominously, "We need an explanation, Miss White."

Lila took a step back, fear written all over her face. The two coaches had seen her. She couldn't deny that she didn't tamper with the parachute now. But she didn't do it with her own hands...

Facing the serious gaze from Ethan, Lila bit her lower lip and explained in an aggrieved tone, "I... I did check her parachute and saw that the strings had been tampered with. But I didn't do it!"

Well, at the very least, she didn't break it with her own hands!

She wasn't the one who started all this.

Ethan narrowed his eyes at her. Through gritted teeth, he demanded, "Then why didn't you tell anyone? You've skydived before. You should've known that Janet could've been killed!"
