Because of this, Uncle Dexter became even more confused about why they actually divorced.
Could it really be like what those servants said?
"Hmm." The man sitting on one side of the back seat responded indifferently, lightly tapping his long fingers on his knee twice, and then gave a deep order to Mark Joyce in the front seat: "Pass a message to the police station."
"Yes, President Hawthorne."
As the saying goes, good news never goes beyond the gate, but bad news spreads far and wide. Hugh Murray had just been arrested in the blink of an eye, and the news had spread throughout the entire Murray Family, alarming Elder Murray, who had been in seclusion, to come out early.
After understanding the reason behind the matter, Elder Murray was furious on the spot, but the anger was not directed at Hugh.
"I always knew Cyrus Vaughn was someone who climbs high and steps low, but I never thought his granddaughter would be the same. Looking down on my Murray Family is one thing; how dare she insult someone from my Murray Family?!"
Mrs. Murray was even crying like a tearful mess, "Exactly! Little Hugh was willing to look at her, a lonely orphan, not minding that she was divorced, and eager to marry her. She is so blessed, and yet she dared to set up my son!"
"Stop crying, the urgent matter now is to get the person out; everything else can wait." Mr. Murray consoled her from the side.
"That bitch, once she marries into the Murray Family, I’ll teach her what rules and propriety are!"
Elder Murray snorted coldly, for the first time acknowledging that this dull daughter-in-law had some sense, "Now that she’s finally left the Hawthorne Family, a lone orphan with no one to rely on, does she really think she can turn the tables on us?"
"Hugh is good in every aspect, except he’s too impulsive, causing trouble for himself and tarnishing the Murray Family’s reputation. Fortunately, this small matter is not serious. You should inform the police station; for the sake of the Murray Family, they dare not do anything to Hugh."
Such words spoken by an elder naturally meant that the younger ones were not better off, all displaying the same kind of attitude. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn n0velfire.net
Mrs. Murray and Mr. Murray, having no backbone or opinions, accepted Elder Murray’s words without argument.
After hearing the instructions, the couple hurried to the police station.
Upon seeing Hugh Murray with one eye bandaged, face flushed with injuries, and an awkward, distorted walking posture, Mrs. Murray couldn’t even recognize this one-eyed ’pighead’ as her handsome and suave son!
The first reaction of a person is often the most real.
Mrs. Murray was particularly skilled in this area. She tugged at Mr. Murray’s hand and opened her mouth, "Didn’t we come to see Little Hugh? What is this ugly pighead thing?"
About to speak, Hugh "..."
Mr. Murray was slightly better than Mrs. Murray. At least he recognized him by the mole on Hugh’s neck, awkwardly chastising Mrs. Murray, "What nonsense are you spouting? This is our son."
Mrs. Murray’s surprise deepened, and heartache surged, "Oh... damn it all! That bitch turned you into this ghostly state! How dare she!?"
A police officer at the side couldn’t bear it any longer and reminded them, "Madam, it was your son who tried to kidnap someone first, and the victim was only acting in self-defense. As for your son’s injuries, it was all a coincidence."
Why say it was a coincidence?
When they were escorting Hugh downstairs, he suddenly knelt forward as if giving a big ceremony, rolling down the stairs like a ball before they could stop him.
He brought this upon himself. How does this concern the victim?
"What coincidence!" Mrs. Murray shouted sharply, "If that bitch had behaved herself, why would my son kidnap her and not anyone else?! Now she has hurt my son , why don’t you arrest her too and lock her away? It would be best if she dies in prison!"
What nonsense is this!
The officers’ faces turned red with anger, restrained from lashing out, but their impression of this mother and son pair had already plummeted.
Initially, they had suspicions about Hugh’s eye injury since he claimed it was Ann Vaughn who plotted against him, and only the two of them were at the scene. They were actually suspicious of Ann Vaughn.
But listening to Mrs. Murray, hurting others seemed to be her son’s privilege?
No wonder a mother raises such a son.
The officer immediately sterned his expression, "The victim was found with multiple severe injuries and is receiving treatment in the hospital. The injury report just came in. If you have anything to say, save it for your lawyer!"
Hugh is going to court, indicating that the police station won’t give any face to the Murray Family; otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a quick conclusion!
Mrs. Murray rolled her eyes and fainted.
During her days in the hospital, Ann Vaughn didn’t hear the shortage of updates about Hugh’s incident.
The Murray Family’s attempt to bail him out failed, leading to a life sentence.
Hugh was sentenced so severely not just because of Ann Vaughn.
Even before Ann, he had more than a few lives on his hands, using the same methods he planned for Ann — dissecting people alive without anesthesia until death—
The fact that these matters remained undiscovered all this time indicates the meticulous handling of Hugh’s crimes, leaving not a trace of evidence.
But this time, the evidence that had been previously wiped clean reappeared, ultimately sealing Hugh’s fate.
Because of Hugh’s imprisonment, the entire Murray Family was greatly affected; first with the collapse of the Murray Family company’s stock, cutting the financial chain, then Elder Murray, amidst a burst of anger, suddenly hospitalized, leaving chaos up and down the family.
Without Elder Murray as the pillar, Mrs. Murray egged Mr. Murray to take on the responsibility alone.
However, this load was too much, and it crushed him.
The Murray Family went bankrupt overnight, with aggressive creditors coming to the door. Mr. Murray didn’t hesitate to flee abroad with the last bit of family wealth, completely forgetting about Mrs. Murray, a pale shadow of her former self, a brutal reality.
Chased by a swarm of violent creditors every day but unable to pay, Mrs. Murray met her retribution before she could see Ann Vaughn marry into the Murray Family to be tormented.
Over at the hospital, though Ann had her suspicions that the Murray Family was trying to use her as a pawn in a grand scheme.
But before she could figure it out, the Murray Family had utterly perished, without a trace to make a splash.
The Murray Family could indeed endure. All to avenge the humiliating rejection and cutoff of ties by Old Master Vaughn, they painstakingly observed Ann Vaughn’s every move.
Finally, after waiting for Ann to divorce Cyrus, losing that reliable support, the Murray Family couldn’t hold back.
Yet who would have thought, in less than two days, they were finished.
"So, impulsivity is the root of original sin." Ann Vaughn clicked her tongue, resting her chin, not bothering further since everything was resolved.
At this moment, the hospital room door was suddenly pushed open.
