Chapter 210 One Ring Hooks Another
Lachlan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Dale and his apprentice finally arrive. “Dr. Hall, can you tell us what happened? How did they bribe you to harm Mrs. Lowe?” Lachlan pointed at the Romeo family as he spoke.
The three members of the Romeo family couldn’t help but feel uneasy and their faces turned sour.
Their hearts sank to the bottom when they realized that Dale was still alive.
But then, in the next moment…
“What do you mean bribe me to harm Mrs. Lowe? Mr. Willis, what are you talking about?” Dale asked with confusion on his face.
Dale’s reaction caused Lachlan’s expression to freeze and his face turned pale.
He didn’t expect that after they arrived, Dale would deny everything and act like nothing had happened.
Lachlan looked at him with cold eyes while the Romeo and his family once again showed their smugness.
“Dr. Hall, you have no idea. After Lachlan drove you away, he completely ignored my mother!”
“And now, they are framing and accusing us of colluding with you to harm her!” Romeo sneered.
Yeah, what were they afraid of?
Almost forgot, if Dr. Hall testified against himself, he wouldn’t be off the hook either.
Even if they failed to silence him, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to incriminate himself.
“Willis, accusing us of plotting against Mrs. Lowe. Do you have any evidence?” Eliza asked triumphantly, as if she already had everything under control.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
“You and Miranda drove my grandmother to this state. At least, our family found Dr. Hall to treat her. But you, not only did you ignore her, but you also played the victim first?”
“Saying we conspired with Dr. Hall to harm my grandmother. Well, why don’t you show some evidence? Everything should be based on evidence, right?” Harlow taunted, looking at Lionel. “Mr. Burke, he’s slandering us; he should be held responsible, shouldn’t he?”
Lionel frowned and looked at Lachlan with a questioning expression.
At this moment, Lachlan, with a calm face, cast a cold gaze at Dale.
“Dr. Hall, do you remember I told you not to play tricks, or you would regret it?”
Dale smirked, a mocking look on his face. “Regret? What do I have to regret? Do I have to regret not helping you with false testimony?”
“That’s right! We’re just telling the truth here! What can you do about it?” The young apprentice also chimed in with a cold laugh.
In front of so many people, and with the authorities present, they didn’t believe Lachlan would dare to do anything to them.
Lachlan laughed, a sinister laugh mixed with cruelty. “Why is that? I wanted to talk to you guys nicely, but you thought I was easy to deal with? I wanted to be a good person, but you forced my dark side out!”
“Who are you scaring…” The young apprentice sneered before his face suddenly changed.
Dale and the young apprentice’s expressions twisted in pain. They let out low screams as if millions of ants were biting their blood vessels and organs.
The excruciating pain made them unable to live or die! This scene shocked everyone present!
“You want evidence? You’ll have it soon!” Lachlan said with an evil smile as he walked towards Romeo’s family of three.
He patted each one on the shoulder meaningfully.
“What… what are you doing? Don’t touch me!” Harlow shivered uncontrollably at Lachlan’s smile feeling uneasy for some reason.
Lachlan snorted coldly before looking at Dale and his apprentice. “Speak.” He uttered one word indifferently with an icy expression on his face.
“Ahh! I’ll speak! It was Romeo who found me and asked me… to secretly kill Mrs. Lowe!” Dale rolled around in agony on the ground while contorting his features painfully.
“Their offer was 20 million dollars plus my grudge against you which is why I agreed…”
“I also spoke up! There was dried goose meat in my master’s prescription which when combined with eggs can make people lose their vitality… Eliza made chicken soup for Mrs. Lowe using this recipe which caused her body functions to deteriorate…”
“Mr. Willis… spare me please… spare me…I’ve told everything…” The young apprentice begged pitifully while revealing all this information causing everyone present including Romeo’s family of three look horrified and disgusted by what they had done – attempting murder on Victoria.
Victoria’s already withered face became even uglier as she stared at Romeo’s family, especially her daughter-in-law Eliza, with a thick expression of resentment. She had previously thought that this daughter-in-law was considerate and filial to her, especially when she made egg custard for her. It turned out to be a bowl of poison!
At this moment, Lachlan chuckled and looked at Dale and his disciple, “What do you mean by sparing you? I don’t know what happened to you guys! Oh right, have you finished talking? What else did you do behind Mrs. Lowe’s back? If you want to frame me, just say it!”
Dale desperately grabbed his own body and looked completely unrecognizable, appearing extremely miserable, “Okay! Okay… I’ll tell… I’ll tell…”
“When I used acupuncture last time… to seal Mrs. Lowe’s life gate acupoint… I thought you would take over… and then when Mrs. Lowe appeared weak later on… you would definitely give her supplements… by then Mrs. Lowe wouldn’t be able to absorb them properly anymore…. and die faster!”
“Romeo’s family can then accuse you of killing Mrs. Lowe…”
“I came here today because I wanted to profit from the situation…. when the time comes all I have to do is unblock Mrs. Lowe’s life gate acupoint and give her medicine that nourishes vitality…. then she will come back alive…”
“Romeo wanted me dead before so he could silence me but now he won’t succeed.”
“In the end….. I will gain both fame and fortune… not only did I deceive you but also took revenge on Romeo’s family…”
“That’s…that’s it!” He begged for mercy, “Spare me…spare me…” He screamed in pain, “Ah ah ah…I’m in so much pain! Just kill me!” Dale shouted out everything.
Everyone present couldn’t help but show expressions of pity or anger after hearing these words; they didn’t expect this matter would be so complicated!
Romeo and Dale were also scheming; one conspiracy led into another!
