1281 1281: I Am Not The Murderer
Eddie was looking confused as well.
“No matter what, both these children are forcing me to find out the truth about their parent’s death. They would only be willing to talk to me once I find out who the murderer is, or else, they would refuse to talk to me about anything else. You may have to be a little busier these days. No matter how hard it gets, you have to uncover the truth.”
Qi Ye nodded his head before saying, “Miss Jiali has been waiting for you for a long time. Would you like to meet her?”
“Hmph!”
Eddie sneered and couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh after thinking about the mess that Hawkins had steered up.
However, he still said, “Let her in.”
After some time, Jiali rushed into the room and quickly said, “Big brother, Hawkins has been arrested. You have to save him!”
“Save him? How? Am I supposed to abandon the Hess family and save him after the whole world witnessed him kill Mrs. Feng and Saka?”
Tears started rushing out of Jiali’s eyes.
“Well, you can’t allow them to keep him inside. He is my only son!!! How could you do this to your own nephew?!”
“Then, tell me. What do you want me to do? Release a media statement saying he didn’t kill anyone and didn’t release a bomb in Saka’s house? Or perhaps would you like me to apologize to the Di family? You are the mother of the man who caused all this, but you didn’t even apologize to them. Given that the Di family has become enemies with us and finally threw Hawkins into prison, do you think they would be willing to listen to me? Do you think they would tell the rest of the world that the video they released was photoshopped?”
Eddie’s words made Jiali feel hopeless. She cried out loud as she asked, “Isn’t there anything that you can do?”
Eddie sneered and said, “You’re speaking as if there’s something that you can do about this.”
Jiali didn’t know what to say.
This was because he was right. There was nothing that she could do about this.
“Jiali, I have warned you about Hawkins more than once. I told you to stop him from being too extreme and to keep a low profile. Because of the Hills and the Hess families, you have not had any opponent until today. If you had, it would be highly likely that you would have a rough fight with them. The Di, Zhan, and Du families are allies now. Their forces are powerful, and they don’t live in the Centrals. No matter how powerful we might be, it would still be difficult for us to reach them but…”
Eddie suddenly changed his tone and said, “It’s not impossible for me to try and save Hawkins, but you have to reveal the person who killed Jiamo.”
Jiali was shocked at first before looking at Eddie in disgust.
“Big brother, just because you want those two to return to the family, you are willing to sacrifice me? Even if I admit it now and you saved Hawkins, both of them would definitely hate me for the rest of my life. You’re doing this so that you’ll be the one who’ll benefit from it?”
“Jiali, you shouldn’t take the rest of us as idiots. Did you really think that I have no idea about what you did to Jiamo’s children? Aren’t you the one who caused the accidents a few days ago? As well as the one that Ah Chuan was involved in. Do you think that they know nothing about it? Do you really think that what you said now will change the outcome? With how they are, they will never go easy on you. So, it will be better for you to tell me the truth. I will only be able to help you once you tell me.”
