Raina Lowell looked at Isabelle Everett in shock, scarcely believing the words coming out of her mouth.
Their grandfather hadn’t died from her confession, but because Isabelle removed his oxygen tube?
With so many people in The Grant Family, how could they let an adopted daughter from The Everett Family kill their grandfather?
How could she be so heartless and not fear being struck by lightning or face retribution?
Suddenly, Raina Lowell went mad, completely losing her senses, grabbing Isabelle Everett’s arms and shouting hysterically:
"You and I are irreconcilable enemies. Give me back my grandfather’s life."
Isabelle Everett laughed sharply, raised the dagger in her hand, and when she was about to stab Raina Lowell, she deliberately taunted:
"If you care so much about your grandfather, why don’t you go to Hell and accompany him!"
Yet, she didn’t actually stab down.
Seeing the dagger, Raina Lowell became fully deranged, snatching it and without hesitation, stabbed Isabelle Everett.
One stab didn’t vent her anger, so she pulled it out and stabbed again ferociously.
Only when she saw blood spilling from Isabelle Everett’s abdomen, and the smile on her lips, did Raina Lowell realize she might have been set up.
Even though she knew she had been trapped, thinking of what she and her daughter went through, and her grandfather’s death, she still felt that Isabelle Everett didn’t deserve to live.
Even if it cost her life, she had to send Isabelle Everett to Hell.
With a hardened heart, Raina Lowell pulled out the dagger and thrust it into Isabelle Everett’s chest again.
By the third stab, Isabelle Everett finally couldn’t withstand it and collapsed.
At that moment, the hotel staff rushed over, and seeing the scene before them, immediately called the police.
Adrian Grant, Ethan Everett, and the host family’s second son, Alaric Jennings, who had been dealing with business outside, hurried back to the hotel.
But they were still a step too late.
Raina Lowell was taken away by the police.
Isabelle Everett was taken to the hospital, her life hanging by a thread.
The man who attempted to assault Raina Lowell, however, escaped.
Upon learning of Raina Lowell’s crime of murder, Adrian Grant first went to the hospital to check on Isabelle Everett.
Isabelle Everett was severely injured and still in critical condition; only then did he rush to the police station.
In the interrogation room at the police station, Adrian Grant saw Raina Lowell, her body still stained with blood.
She huddled in the corner, trembling all over, her eyes vacant.
The whole person looked like she had lost her soul, appearing so pitiful.
Despite his anger at her for murder, Adrian Grant realized it wasn’t the time for reprimand. He approached her, squatted down in front of her, and asked:
"Why did you kill Isabelle Everett, Raina Lowell? This is Yarrow; do you realize what you’ve done means you can never return and see your children?"
He knew that this woman detested Isabelle Everett’s existence, but how could she be cruel enough to kill?
If Isabelle Everett died, Raina Lowell wouldn’t survive either; it would be a life for a life.
Raina Lowell lifted her gaze, staring vacantly at Adrian Grant, tears rushing out.
"Adrian, it was Isabelle who murdered grandfather; Isabelle also set up the kidnapping of Aurora and me, almost costing us our lives."
Suddenly, she grabbed Adrian Grant, frantically trying to explain:
"Do you know? As soon as I woke up, she sent a man to assault me and then incited me to attack her."
"Adrian, call the police and have Isabelle Everett arrested; she deserves to die ten thousand times over, she can’t be allowed to live, do you understand?"
Adrian Grant looked at her condition, feeling his heart turn cold.
He had to ask again to confirm, "So, did you really kill her?"
Raina Lowell dodged the question, "Is she dead? If she isn’t, you need to kill her; she pulled out grandfather’s oxygen, leading to his death."
Seeing she had truly gone mad, endlessly babbling nonsense, Adrian Grant shouted in a stern voice:
"I know better than you how grandfather died, and how could weak Isabelle possibly kidnap you and your daughter."
"It seems you are truly incorrigible; just to keep her from being with me, you went so far as to take such a ruthless action against her, just how venomous is your heart."
Adrian Grant shook her off and stood up coldly.
"Stay put; if you refuse to see reason, even I cannot save you."
Seeing him about to leave, Raina Lowell rushed forward to cling to his leg.
"It’s not like that, Adrian, I’m telling the truth; Isabelle killed grandfather, and it was she who arranged for my Aurora to be kidnapped, check it out, you’ll see."
Adrian Grant kicked her away, "I know Isabelle Everett’s nature better than you."
"And yet you, willing to go to any lengths just to leave me."
He felt utterly that this woman was beyond help, unnecessary to talk any further.
He still needed to rush back to the hospital to see Isabelle Everett.
If Isabelle Everett really died, she would never be able to return to the country for the rest of her life.
Adrian Grant left the interrogation room and headed back to the hospital.
As soon as he departed, Alaric Jennings appeared before Raina.
He was like a ray of light, illuminating the dark world that Raina Lowell had just collapsed into.
Raina Lowell looked up at him, her eyes still glistening with tears.
Alaric Jennings crouched down and held her in his arms, softly consoling her, "I believe you wouldn’t harm anyone without reason; you must have had your reasons, didn’t you?"
"Don’t be afraid; I have the power to protect you. Just tell me the truth."
Here, his word was law.
Protecting someone posed no issue.
Moreover, this woman was the unattainable ideal always in his heart.
If he couldn’t even protect the woman he loved, how could he claim to love her?
Raina Lowell was stunned.
She could hardly believe the man she deeply loved, the one she spent years with, had not an ounce of trust in her, placing all faith in outsiders.
While this man holding her right now, the one she had rejected multiple times.
She hadn’t uttered a word of explanation, yet he believed in her unconditionally.
Raina Lowell found it laughable.
How blind had she been back then to fall in love with a man like Adrian Grant?
She calmed her emotions and recounted the events thoroughly to Alaric Jennings.
Alaric Jennings listened, examining her closely, full of concern.
"Did that beast hurt you? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Raina Lowell could feel that he genuinely worried about her.
She shook her head, "I’m fine, but I want Isabelle Everett dead, even if it costs my life."
She must avenge her grandfather.
If Isabelle Everett lived another day, her grandfather would never rest in peace, and she wouldn’t find peace either.
Alaric Jennings hugged her again, reassuring her:
"If you want her dead, I’ll do it for you; someone as pure as you shouldn’t have blood on your hands."
"Come, I’ll take you to a different place; even if you’re in the police station, we should stay in the most luxurious suite."
Upon arrival, Alaric Jennings had everything prepared.
In Yarrow, there was nothing money couldn’t solve.
Whoever he wanted to protect, even The King of Hell would have to return them obediently.
Raina Lowell obediently followed him out.
She always knew she wasn’t worthy of Alaric Jennings, even when he told her he was willing to help raise Aurora and Evelyn; she still felt unworthy.
When Adrian Grant reached out to bring her back, she left without hesitation.
She thought there wouldn’t be any intersection with this man again, but fate is wondrous, bringing them back together. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel-fire.net
Raina Lowell looked at the man holding her hand as he led the way forward.
She thought, if she could live after coming out of prison if he could make Isabelle Everett die, and help her bring Aurora and Evelyn to her side.
She would never leave again.
As for Adrian Grant, she never wanted to have anything to do with him again for the rest of her life.
