Chapter 2055 Dead

Roxanne returned to the manor in utter exhaustion.

Lucian brought her a glass of warm water for her to drink. Then, he served her a bowl of mushroom soup.

“Darling, what you need to do now is to stay calm. We will think of a way together to gather sufficient evidence.

Perhaps we can ger some clues from Grant. We'll go and talk to him again tomorrow to make him recall as many details as he can."

Lucian remained collected. They could confirm that his mother-in-law had died from a premeditated murder by poisoning. Still, there was no doubt they needed sufficient witnesses and physical evidence.

“Honey, first, we must get the case filed. To do that, I've decided to exhume the body and perform an autopsy.”

Tears uncontrollably streamed down Roxanne’s cheeks again when she uttered those words. Mom suffered so much when she was alive. Unexpectedly, her peace has to he disrupted even after she has passed on. All of this happened because of Grant'.

In Roxanne's memory, before Winnie, the mistress, entered their lives, her parents were already arguing all the time. Grant would lose his temper for no reason and constantly criticized her mother.

Now, she realized Grant had been trying to force a divorce, but he had underestimated Roxanne's mother's

commitment to relationships and dedication to preserving the family.

Hence, in the absence of any other means to force Roxanne's birth mother to get a divorce from Grant, Winnie resorted to malicious methods.

Lucian's face was suddenly filled with sorrow as well.

He had always harbored a regret in his heart for not having the chance to look after his mother-in-law properly.

f rom that day onward, regardless of the resources he had to expend, Lucian was determined to bring Winnie to justice.

The couple fell silent for a few moments.

Meanwhile, Elias and Sonya, who were upstairs, noticed Lucian and Roxanne had returned. They went downstairs to check on them, wanting to remind them that the weather was cold and that they should go to bed early.

Unexpectedly, they sensed their son and daughter-in-law's mood was off, so they hurriedly asked what was going on.

Elias and Sonya fell into a daze after they heard Lucian's account. They couldn’t believe their daughter-in-law's birth mother had suffered such a tragic fate.
