"Dad! Did he confess?" Outside, Sasha sat in a wheelchair with Nattie beside her, both of them looking expectantly toward the door.
Of course, Belle was present, too. It was her idea to send Warren in, hoping to leverage their relationship to break Felix's psychological defenses and force him to confess, which would make everything easier. "No, Sasha. Let's go home. Can we start over?"
Sasha was stunned upon hearing Warren's words. Then, she immediately erupted in anger. "Excuse me? Are you even my father? Your daughter is now a disabled person, needing a wheelchair to go qut, and you still have the audacity to lecture me about starting over?" Seeing Sasha's tears flowing, Nattie became furious. "Are you even a man? You can't even protect your daughter! I was blind to marry you!"
Unexpectedly, Warren suddenly raised his right hand and pointed sternly at Sasha. "Do you dare say you're innocent? Sasha, look me in the eyes and tell me you did nothing
wrong! We've come this far, and it's all your own doing, isn't it?
"Did Felix ever intentionally make things difficult for you? Tell me!"
Sasha was shocked, as this was the first time Warren was treating her harshly. She introspected and realized it was indeed all her fault. If she hadn't kept causing trouble for Felix, even collaborating with Ted to the point of wanting to kill him, none of this would have happened.
"I don't care! Anyway, Felix is the one who did this to my legs. I saw him kill someone with my own eyes! You'll definitely bring him to justice, right, Ms. Frost?"
Although the process had been rocky, Belle had long since made her arrangements and nodded slightly. "Don't worry. We won't let any criminal go unpunished."
After Belle left, Warren sat in a chair, feeling defeated.
"You were worried from the beginning that Felix would try to take our family's property, and you've held onto that mindset until now without thinking it through. You must think that he has no backing now that Lord Kane has left, right?
"Just yesterday, I went to the Stellar Group's office in Avesburgh, and the current person in charge is Felix's close friend, Jack Graham. So, let me ask you. Since Felix has lost his. status, how did he win Jack a middle management position in a huge company like Stellar Group?" Nattie and Sasha were both dumbfounded. If that were true, it only meant that Felix was more impressive than they had imagined.
However, after just a few seconds, Sasha hardened her expression. "So what if he's impressive? Felix is now in the Phoenix Legion's custody. He's done for!"
Just then, Belle entered the room with two rough-looking thugs.
""Is that him?"noveldrama
The two thugs looked at Felix and nodded in unison. "That's right. He killed Mr. Adams."
"Yeah, he was so decisive when he killed Mr. Adams, and then, he crippled Sasha's legs. We all saw it clearly."
With a wave of Belle's hands, the two thugs left.
Belle smugly said to Felix, "Those two are Stinger's subordinates and were present at the crime scene. On top of the victim's statement, we have two witnesses. Do you really think you can escape conviction? I don't even need your testimony to put you on trial right now." Stinger's subordinates? Felix found it ridiculous. Even if he had a knife to Stinger's throat, none of his subordinates would dare betray him. This was clearly a show arranged by Belle. "Belle, I can only say that Xena must be blind to have chosen you as her deputy. Although I don't have much praise for that woman, her sense of justice is unquestionable.
"Yet you, who have been by her side, have stooped so low as to commit perjury. Your death will be well-deserved."
