Chapter 1318
"Yes! We couldn't save her in the end. Now that she has passed away, we have just informed her family members!"
Adam and Anthea were petrified.
They hadn't expected that it would end like this.
Anthea frowned and looked into the ward where Madam Jiles was. The bed was covered with a large piece of white cloth. All the medical instruments around had been removed. The person lying on the bed was stiff and breathless. It was obvious that there were no vital signs in her.
When she was still at the police station, Madam Jiles held her chest with her hands and fainted.
This was the nearest hospital. Anthea originally thought that Madam Jiles could be rescued, but she was too old. When Madam Jiles fainted, Anthea had no medical instruments in her hand, and she could only make the judgment that it was a heart attack, which was life-threatening and with a high rate of death.
Anthea knew that in the emergency room, there had been many cases of heart attack that the patient couldn't be saved.
Anthea originally thought that Madam Jiles would be punished by the law. She hadn't expected that her life would end so soon. To some extent, Madam had paid the price for the crimes she committed. Adam said, "Thank you. We understand."
Anthea and Adam looked at each other and saw a flash of doubt in each other's eyes.
When they came out of the hospital, none of them said anything.
They were both thinking about Madam Jiles' behaviors when she was alive.
But these were just their thoughts. After all, Madam Jiles was a criminal suspect who had been accused directly in reality. Besides, the evidence that she hired a murderer six years ago was conclusive, although she had been denying it all the time. To a large extent, she just wanted to evade the conviction of crime!
Adam opened the door of the passenger seat and said in a low voice, "This case will be settled soon."
Anthea nodded.
She looked back in the direction of the hospital and clenched her fists. "It's her good luck to die in such a manner!"
Six years ago, Madam Jiles killed her husband in order to inherit all his properties and wealth. Six years later, she tried to kill Anthea. Anthea thought that such a vicious old woman should be punished in prison for a period of time before being executed by shooting.
Adam said, "Well... The marriage relationship between the Hsu family and the Chin family is still there. I'll need to show up at the funeral."
Anthea nodded. "Hum..."
Six years later, the Hsu family held another funeral.
However, compared with the previous funeral for Master Hsu, this one was much more low-profile and modest. After all, Madam Jiles was a criminal suspect of murder. There was an official record at the police station. Even if the Hsu family wanted her funeral to be high-profile, they couldn't.
If anyone looked from afar, the entire Hsu family was almost enveloped by white colors.
The trees in the yard were all adorned with decorations of white color, which were gently blown by the wind.
Anthea thought about the funeral of her grandfather six years ago. She had no sympathy for Madam Jiles at all. After all, Anthea Lee was not Mother Teresa of Calcutta.
She accompanied Adam here, but she didn't intend to go into the Hsu family's villa.
The jeep stopped on the private road outside of the villa. Anthea watched Adam's tall figure entering the villa.
She leaned against the passenger seat and waited.
At this time, several persons went out of the gate of the Hsu family's villa. She thought Adam might be among them, and therefore she looked up subconsciously.
The four or five persons seemed to be very important guests. After the condolence, Jayden Hsu personally came out to see them off.
The two elders of the Hsu family had passed away one after another.
Master Hsu had been married twice throughout his life. His family had once been thriving. However, his eldest son, Hendrix Hsu, had passed away many years ago. The eldest daughter of his second wife, Rory Hsu, had also died early. Now the only family member who could take charge of important things was the youngest son, Jayden Hsu.
Jayden looked thinner than before. He was wearing mourning clothes and a mourning belt around his waist.
After the guests got into the car and left, the servant next to Jayden pointed in Anthea's direction, seeming to report to his master something in a low voice. Jayden immediately raised his head and
looked at Anthea.
The next second, he ran towards her aggressively.
As she had acquired some previous experience in the Hsu family, Anthea was prepared. She locked the door before Jayden approached her.
Jayden slapped the glass of the jeep window with his hand.
Anthea was afraid that Jayden might really get excited. What if he threw a stone at the glass?
In this case, the broken glass might hurt her. Anthea lowered the jeep window, revealing a gap of about five centimeters. She could hear Jayden's words now, but at the same time such a little gap would not allow him to do anything harmful to her.
Jayden glared at her angrily, as if she was his enemy. "Anthea Lee, you little b*tch! How dare you come here!"
Anthea replied expressionlessly, "I'm not here for the funeral. I'm just waiting for someone!"
"Waiting for whom?" Jayden saw her sitting in this jeep. How could he not know whom she was waiting for? He said rudely, "You little b*tch! You're so shameless! It's all your fault that my mother was locked up in the police station. She was not allowed to be bailed or see her lawyer. That's why she suddenly got sick and passed away!"
Upon hearing this, Anthea sneered. "It served her right!"
"Say it again! How dare you!" Jayden pointed at her through the car window.
Anthea looked at Jayden with sharp eyes and said in a cold voice, "Wasn't it? Why was she not allowed to be bailed or see her lawyer? Because she was involved in a homicide case!"
"..." Jayden sobbed and was speechless.
He couldn't refute Anthea at this. As a result, he didn't say a single word.
Six years ago, Jayden and his mother blamed Anthea angrily that it was she who killed Master Hsu. Unexpectedly, Madam Jiles turned out to be the one who deliberately murdered her husband for the sake of snatching all the properties and wealth!
These were all known by Jayden when he found the lawyer, while both of them couldn't meet his mother.
He was completely shocked by what he learned!
Even if Madam Jiles really killed Master Hsu, for Jayden, it only meant that he had lost both his father and mother. Now he was the only one left in the Hsu family, and what he felt was nothing but misery and anger.
The cold smile on the corners of Anthea's mouth caused Jayden to become very resentful. "Anthea
Lee, you are watching the tragedy of our family as a joke!"
Anthea's gaze became sharper. "Little uncle, I told you before. Madam Jiles deserved to be punished. If I hadn't been rescued after I was kidnapped that day, then she would have murdered two persons. Even if she dies twice, it would still serve her right!"
Hearing this, Jayden argued angrily, "Anthea Lee, you little b*tch! How dare you slander my mother's reputation after she passed away?!! Have you personally watching her killing to persons? I may not know what she had done to my father, but I do know what had happened to you!
"At that time, she sent someone to kidnap you because she didn't want you to take part in the property notarization! I asked her if she would hurt you seriously the night before you were kidnapped. She replied that you wouldn't be hurt. At most, she just wanted to lock you up for a few days!"
Anthea was stunned.
Then she squinted her eyes.
She sharply stared at Jayden, trying to see whether he was telling the truth.
At this time, another servant rushed over and reported, "Young Master, another distinguished guest has arrived!"
Jayden's face darkened. "I know!"
Through the window, he pointed his finger at Anthea fiercely. Then, he turned around and left.
When they were about to enter the yard, Adam came out from the inside. The two of them passed over each other. Adam frowned slightly.
