meanwhile, cyril, the eldest son of the clan leader, was much calmer than everyone had expected.
when patriarch faires had proposed to get married, he had not objected.
when the clan head brought lu wenjun to the small island to recuperate, he silently took over the heavy responsibility and handled the clan affairs in an orderly manner.
his reaction led many people to believe that cyril wasn’t against his father’s remarriage.
after all, he had already grown up, and his wings were well-developed. even if patriarch fiers had other children, they would not be able to shake his position.
however, it was only today that the clansmen realized that they had been wrong!
it wasn’t that cyril didn’t care, but he hated lu wenjun to the core. instead, he calmed down and held back his anger, waiting for the critical moment to give lu wenjun a fatal blow!
“oh my god, the death of the former patriarch’s wife is really … really related to lu wenjun? she looked so weak, but she … she actually dared to kill? this is unbelievable …”
“what’s so incredible about that? the more beautiful a woman is, the more vicious she is. don’t be fooled by her face!”
” i’ve heard of this rumor before, but i thought it was just a rumor. i didn’t expect it to be true! “
“the clan leader actually married such a vicious woman as his wife, he’s really been blinded by beauty! no wonder young master cyril is like this …”
“that’s right, being the third party is already shameless enough, and he actually dared to force the first wife to death! she’s really unscrupulous in order to marry into a rich family!”
after a short silence, the clansmen present began to discuss again.
they looked at lu wenjun with undisguisable contempt.
even though lu wenjun’s speech was not smooth, his hearing was fine, and he could clearly hear cyril’s complaints and the discussions of his clansmen.
her eyes widened in shock and confusion. she opened her mouth and tried to explain, ” “xi … lille, i … i didn’t … didn’t … your … your mother … she’s …”
she used all her strength to spit out a few words.
however, before she could finish, cyril chimed in with a sneer. ” are you trying to say that my mother died of natural causes and that you didn’t kill her? “
pAn,D a-n0ve1,c-o-m lu wenjun nodded with all his might.
cyril immediately sneered,’lu wenjun, you’re still trying to quibble at a time like this! to tell you the truth, when you went to the hospital to look for my mother, i was just outside the ward. no one knows the situation better than me. as soon as you entered the ward, my mother was so angry that her illness acted up, and you still dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?”
“no… no… it’s … it’s not like this …”
lu wenjun’s face was filled with anxiety, and he was eager to explain.
however, her stiff body didn’t listen to him at all, and she still enunciated each and every word. cyril was certain that she was lying, and he didn’t have the patience to listen to her at all.
“enough, cyril!”
at this moment, patriarch fields could no longer listen to this. he strode out and blocked lu wenjun’s path.
“how can you speak to your stepmother like that? didn’t you hear what she said? she had nothing to do with your mother’s death! wenjun and i feel sorry for joanna’s death, but it was just an accident. it was a misunderstanding!”
cyril’s rage grew even more intense when he saw the patriarch’s protective stance.
“even now, you still want to protect this b * tch?”
