Chapter 1625

Emerence stood at the door to prevent Julie from escaping.

John walked to the bed and stared at Julie with a grim gaze. “Why?”

Julie had never heard of or seen his terrifying side. Her body trembled violently as she cried out loudly, “J- John, H didn’t | didn’t

It's not what it seems.

Queenie helped her mother up and then shouted at Julie, “We were already outside when you came into the room. We saw

everything!”

When Emerence told her that Julie tried to harm her mother, she refused to believe it. Even when her mother woke up and told

her that Julie was a vicious woman, she still refused to believe it.

Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she felt betrayed. Her eyes were bloodshot She shouted, “Mom never treated you badly

Why did you try to kill her?”

Julie stuttered, “I-I really didn’t try to kill her | thought she wasn’t going to wake up, and when she woke up, | thought | was

hallucinating, so | was just trying to confirm if she was alive.”

Queenie continued, “We saw everything! Stop giving excuses!”

They were not blind.

Julie had tossed the oxygen mask on the floor and spoken vicious words to Madam Stockton.

Both John and Queenie heard and saw her clearly.

Julie’s eyes flickered nervously. She looked at John.

John was two meters away from her He looked as handsome as always, but the frosty aura that he emanated distanced himself

from her, striking fear into her heart.

Julie unconsciously took two steps back. Her eyes trembled when she said, “John, I...” She could not even speak properly

anymore.

The man’s frosty voice sounded. “I'll ask you one more time. Why?”

“IP” Julie had never expected this to happen. The terrifying man before her robbed her words from her

mouth.

John frowned. His handsome face was shrouded with vicious killing intent.

Julie’s legs turned weak. She collapsed on the floor with a thud. Her eyes were filled with fear Her face looked pale and her lips

trembled vigorously, causing her to lose her ability to speak properly

The room went quiet for a few seconds.

Madam Stockton then sighed. “It’s because | found out about her secret That’s why she tried to kill me.”

John looked at her

Queenie asked, “What secret?”

Madam Stockton sighed. She looked at Emerence and said, “You tell them. I’m too tired of this.”

Emerence nodded. She then said, “Madam went to visit Ms. Julie one day and accidentally found the secret room behind her

closet. The closet is filled with Master Stockton’s pictures, and there’s a lifesize

wax statue inside as well.”

John frowned.

Queenie widened her eyes in shock.

Julie’s eyes widened as well “How did you know? Mother said she’d never tell anyone!”

“Madam didn’t tell anyone, not even me

Julie’s eyes were bloodshot. “Then, how did you know?”

“| was in your room when Emerence came looking for me. She saw it as well,” Madam Stockton said coldly

Julie frowned Not only did Madam Stockton know about her secret, but so did Emerence! She suddenly. remembered when she

had tried to suffocate Madam Stockton the other day, but Emerence’s sudden entry foiled her plan.

Her eyes flickered multiple times before she looked at Emerence. “Aunt Emerence, have you been suspecting me? You knew?”

Emerence looked at her coldly and said, “Indeed, | have. When Madam got into the crash, | was on the phone with her, and |

heard her talking to the driver. The reason why the car crashed was that the brakes were tinkered with.”

“What? Mom’s car has always been well-maintained. How could the brakes not work?” Queenie asked. John pursed his lips and

stared at Julie coldly.
