Chapter 215 Forget It All
Joseph looked at him and continued, word by word, “Chandler, da mn it, he deserved to die. If he were still alive now, I would definitely make sure he’s dead.”
Gerald looked at him incredulously, “That’s your brother, your own flesh and blood! How can you let past grudges and conflicts, all because of a woman, blind you like this, unable to distinguish what’s truly important?”
Chandler had passed away, and the members of the Black family should at least thoroughly investigate and delve into the truth behind it.
The truth could never be determined solely based on the brief exchanges between Deborah and Ashton!
Moreover, at this point, Deborah hadn’t even explained a single thing to Joseph!
She didn’t offer any excuses. Regarding Chandler’s death at her and Ashton’s hands, she hadn’t said a word.
How could Joseph just assume that she did nothing wrong?
Gerald was eager to say something, but Joseph spoke first, “My stance is clear. If the Black family refuses to accept Deborah because of this, then I will no longer accept the Black family.
Even if Chandler was killed by her on purpose, I would still find the best lawyer to defend her and prove her innocence.”
Gerald’s eyes were filled with fury. “What are you talking about!”
Joseph looked at the agitated person in front of him, his face calm and indifferent.
“I said, you all can leave now.”
If it weren’t for Deborah, he would never have set foot in Black Manor again after leaving three years ago.
Jane was crying her heart out, and Joseph looked at the two bodyguards who had followed them in. “Since Officer Lamb can’t take action, why don’t you two escort her out?”
The bodyguard took action immediately, escorting Jane and Gerald out politely.
In the corridor outside, Jane’s sharp cries still echoed.
The sound was quite piercing, causing Deborah’s heart to constrict a little as she listened.
The image was still etched in her mind, as she watched with her own eyes Ashton taking action, causing Chandler and
Brandon to fall off the steep cliff.
Two lives vanished before her eyes in an instant.
Thinking back on it, she still got goosebumps all over her body and her scalp tingled.
Thinking of Ashton, she recalled what she had just heard that he was now in the emergency room, and his condition wasn’t good.
It was hard to say what was going on now.
Joseph held her hand tighter, feeling the warmth of her palm.
“Take a nap, you need to rest now. Don’t worry about anything else. If the police want to talk to you, I’ll cover for you first.”
Deborah gathered her thoughts and nodded. “Alright.”
Joseph glanced sideways, taking a look at Evelyn who was beside him.
As a secretary who had been by his side for many years, Evelyn instinctively wanted to stand at attention with her legs together and present a document with both hands whenever their eyes met.
The fear she felt towards her boss, Joseph, was just like how she felt in middle school when facing her homeroom teacher.
So, what she admired most about Deborah was her ability to win Joseph’s heart and maintain a relaxed and enjoyable intimate relationship with him.
Evelyn’s thoughts drifted away for a moment, but she quickly snapped back to reality, understanding the meaning behind Joseph’s gaze.
She immediately called out to Adrian and Alyssa, “Let’s go out first and let Deborah rest for a while. We shouldn’t disturb her here.”
Alyssa was very cooperative. Seeing that Deborah was not seriously injured and that there were medical staff taking care of her in the hospital, she immediately wanted to follow Evelyn out.
Adrian was no longer happy, standing still like a stone sculpture, not moving from his spot.
“You guys go ahead, I’ll stay here and take care of Deborah. We need to have someone here anyway.”
