Chapter 1985 The Killer

Not long after that, someone from the government rushed over anxiously upon receiving the news.

This time, the official stepped into the room with his back bent over. Upon seeing Solomon, the former

quickly apologized, “Mr. George, I’m terribly sorry. It’s our fault for being incompetent in dealing with

this matter. I’ve just looked into it. Though someone caused the accident deliberately, it really has

nothing to do with us.”

“What did you just say?” Those words filled the air with an intimidating aura. Hearing that, the informant

wiped off the sweat on his forehead. “I-It’s true. It’s the Tilan family who planned the entire thing.”

The Tilan family. As Solomon sat with his legs crossed in the middle of the hall, he finally raised his

brow as if he was quite surprised. “They still have descendants?”

“Yes. Hugo has a daughter called Melinda. She followed Lacey to another country after Tilan Palace

was blasted by Mr. Hayes. No one knows when she came back. We didn’t discover her involvement

until we started looking into the truck.” While talking, the informant took out pieces of evidence one by

one. Solomon had to admit that he was quite efficient in carrying out the investigation.

The former then picked up the evidence and studied them. True enough, the pictures portrayed the

scene of an ordinary-looking woman meeting with the local big shots. There were even a few public

officials among them.

“Wow!” The informant suddenly cleared his throat awkwardly. “Don’t worry, Mr. George. We’ll

investigate this thoroughly. Our main problem now is Melinda. She’s been holding a grudge ever since

the Tilan family was destroyed by Mr. Hayes. She’s the very reason Hayes Corporation keeps failing to

progress. In fact, she’s the one ordering all the big shots to go against Hayes Corporation on purpose.”

The informant told Solomon everything he knew. There was nothing to hide anymore since the former

had already exposed his own colleagues After listening to him, Solomon scrunched up the pictures,

finally grasping the situation.

In other words, this accident was caused by Melinda. She’s also the reason why the Hayes family has

been facing difficulty after difficulty ever since they came here. This is interesting.

A vicious look flashed through his eyes as he sat there and stared at the pictures. Soon, midnight

came. In an inconspicuous old-fashioned building, Melinda, who had not appeared in public for some

time, smiled when she heard a man telling her Ian was still unconscious.

“Well done. This is for you.” She took out two rolls of cash from her dressing table’s drawer and handed

them to the man. The man accepted the cash and walked away with a grin. Meanwhile, Melinda sat in

front of the dressing table and carefully put on makeup while gazing at her reflection.

After witnessing the exchange, the housemaid, who was bringing Melinda supper, could not help but

ask excitedly, “Ms. Tilan, if this Mr. Hayes dies, does it mean we’ve succeeded?”

However, Melinda scoffed. “Succeed? Oh, it’s still too early for that. Success is when I get rid of the

entire Hayes family and dominate this country again.”

The housemaid was stumped.

This woman is really ambitious. Well, I guess it’s understandable. Ever since Tilan Palace got

destroyed and her father was captured, all her siblings vanished. Some died while some absconded.

She’s the only person left who wants to restore the family to its former glory. Those useless things are

nothing compared to her.

Melinda dolled herself up prettily and got ready to go over to the customs head office.

Just then, one of her subordinates rushed in from outside. “Ms. Tilan, something bad happened! I

heard that the head administrator is killed!”

“What did you say?” Melinda’s expression changed, and her legs went weak.

“Why would he get killed? Who dares to do that? How dare they kill him?” she questioned in shock and

anger.

“I-I don’t know. I suddenly heard a gunshot at the headquarters, and… and someone from the council

went over.” The trembling subordinate dropped her another shocking news.

The council was the most powerful organization in the country. In fact, they were in charge of the

customs head office.

Melinda started to panic.

Truth was, she was the smartest person among the Tilans. Originally, she was merely the child of

Hugo’s mistress.

When she was brought back to Tilan Palace, she was discriminated against because of her biological

mother’s identity.

However, to carve a name for herself in Tilan Palace, she willingly pretended to be an obedient child for

over ten years. She stuck close to Lacey, acting mature and obedient, and did everything as requested

by her siblings. Hence, Hugo constantly heard praises of Melinda.

What everyone did not know was that she was secretly a vicious and cunning person.

Melinda hated Rosalie the most because the latter was the child of the legitimate wife. Moreover,

Rosalie’s maternal grandmother was part of the royal family, and her power was not to be

underestimated.
