The people in the hall looked up at where the source of sound was and saw a beautiful doll sitting on the guardrail with her legs swaying in the air and a slingshot in her hand. No one took any safty measures nor did an adult guard her.
Ophelia finally knew the perpetrator who caused the pain in her body. She was so angry that her whole face turned green. She didn’t expect that she would be defeated by that bitch Olive, then was teased by this little bitch again.
“Whose child is she?”
“She should be Mr. Hoyle’s daughter.”
The adults were shocked, but they were surprised at the little girl’s bravery and the calm voice that radiated from a young age.
Olive also raised her voice. What was going on with Kent? He said that he would take the kid to watch a good show at the top, but he allowed Annie to do such dangerous thing while didn’t know which corner he was hiding at.
Annie took her slingshot, aiming at Finn and giggling, “Dad, this uncle seems to have dementia. Do you think we need to enlighten him to treat Grandpa’s amnesia?”
Finn’s face looked really ugly. Ophelia was so angry that she sneered at Olive, “Olive Steele, is this the good daughter you raise? She doesn’t have a bit of self-cultivation.”
“Cultivation?” Olive simply smiled, “I would like to ask Ms. Meyer to tell us mother and daughter what cultivation is?”
“Mommy, it’s not like you don’t know that Auntie Ophelia has a very high level of cultivation. We can’t learn it even if we learn it for a lifetime.” Annie kept her slingshot and counted with her fingers, “For example, kidnapping, threatening, deceiving, causing car accident, secretly changing paternity test result, telling tales…”
There was a lot of discussion. They had also heard about these things. Now that a little girl said it in such a mocking tone, some people were somewhat shocked, vaguely feeling that something big would happen tonight.
“You…” Ophelia flushed with rage. She really wanted to rush upstairs to slap that little brat a few times. What kind of monster did Olive give birth to? What a fluent mouth.
Finn shot a meaningful glance at his daughter, then smiled at Olive and said, “Ms. Steele, my daughter is young and ignorant, and had done some hurtful and wrong things. Here, I apologize to you. Please accept my sincerity.”
Olive was disgusted. It was a waste that this whole family didn’t pursue acting career. To not give Finn Meyer a credit for his acting was an insult for him.
Alan was also disgusted, but his expression remained the same. His faint smile always carried a cold knife. “Uncle Finn, if you want to say young, my wife is two years younger than your daughter. I take notes everything she had done to my wife. I also already know everything what you did to my father, to the Hoyle like the back of my hand. I also won’t beat around the bush with you anymore. How about I ask everyone here and you to listen to a recording?”
Finn forced himself to be calm. Under Alan’s pressure, cold sweat started to break on his forehead.
As Alan snapped his fingers, a distant voice seemed to come from hell.
“Mr. Wood, how much money isn’t a problem. As long as I can buy Alan’s life, I’ll pay even if it’s a sky-high price.”
“Mr. Meyer, outsiders think that you’ve always taken good care of Alan Hoyle and regarded him as your son-in-law. Yet you want his life now. If it’s because he abandoned your daughter at the wedding, even though it makes sense, it’s still a bit far-fetched.”
“I might as well tell you the truth. This kid Alan has a hold of my deadly secrets and I can’t let him. Now, his wings are growing big and he keeps looking down at me. It’s a disaster to keep him.”
“Deadly secrets?” There was a pause, thinking. “Could it be that Mr. Meyer did the disaster in the Hoyle Family six years ago?”
“Mr. Wood, take my money and help me to eliminate the disaster. You better hear less of the other things.”
“Hahaha, okay, okay.”
The recording stopped abruptly here. It was very short, but the information revealed was enough to make everyone’s faces shifted. That Mr. Meyer’s voice was indeed belonged to Finn Meyer in front of them.
“Finn Meyer, is this true? Did you plot to murder the late Mr. Hoyle? He was your sworn brother. How could you?”
“You wicked man. Such a vain to regard you as a friend. I’ve been wrong about you.”
“Why did you do it?”
Accusations came one after another. These people were who usually had some friendship with the Hoyle. Hearing such recording at this moment simply overturned what they knew about this world. They didn’t expect that a farce between the children would develop into this way.
Ophelia grabbed Alan’s shirt to defend her father, “There are so many ventriloquists now. You can find anyone to imitate. Alan, ask yourself. After Uncle Hoyle passed away, how did my father treat you? He treated you as his own son, and even had the thought to give all the Meyer’s companies for you to handle. If he really wanted to hurt Uncle Hoyle and target the Hoyle Group, he could kill you six years ago, putting the Hoyle Group in his own pocket. But he didn’t do it. Why do you believe such recording that we don’t even know where it comes from?”
Annie sighed deeply again, “Uncle Kent, don’t you think we should give Auntie Ophelia an Oscar?”
