Chapter 233: Chapter 179: What He Feared Most Still Happened_3

Richard said, after Mom and Dad passed away, he felt like the sky had fallen. Back then, she thought so too.

She felt that without them, her life was pretty much over.

Because she knew very well there was no one else in this world who would indulge her like Mom and Dad did.

Especially since her relationship with Hunter Warren was really bad at the time.

She couldn’t even remember how many times she had run to her parents’ grave, sitting there all day in grief.

They were gone, and besides her world being hollowed out, she couldn’t find a place to act spoiled anymore.

That feeling, it’s like the world was yours, then suddenly one day someone jumps out and tells you, it’s all just a dream.

Hunter Warren turned to hold Faye Townsend in his arms.

Looking at Richard with a calm expression, it was the first time in years he had seen Richard cry.

Richard is indeed infuriating, but beyond that, he’s also pitiable.

This must be the first time the siblings sat together to reminisce about their parents since their parents’ passing.

"Stop crying." Hunter Warren kissed her hair: "Dad once said, as his son-in-law, the basic standard is to understand his daughter’s preferences; peeling chicken skin during meals is basic, and the most important thing is that this man cannot make his precious daughter cry.

If you’re crying like this now, Dad’s spirit in heaven would be angry at me. Okay, Richard, don’t cry either.

Regretting now, what’s the use of it."

Richard wiped away his tears: "Dad was a good driver, I don’t believe for a second he would drive the car off a cliff for no reason.

That morning, Walter Hansen got out of the car, and something was definitely off.

He must have tampered with that car, otherwise, it wouldn’t have happened."

Faye looked at him through tear-filled eyes and shouted, "Since you knew something was wrong, why didn’t you say anything earlier?"

"When I got the news that Mom and Dad were gone, I was completely dumbfounded, I didn’t think that far.

After their first seven days memorial period passed, I suddenly realized someone was missing at home.

I asked Uncle Rivers where Walter Hansen went.

Uncle Rivers said Walter Hansen resigned and returned to his hometown.

I had some suspicion at the time, thinking you weren’t in a good mood either, so I didn’t mention it to you.

Then I secretly sent someone to investigate in Walter Hansen’s hometown.

But I heard he supposedly died in a car accident on his way home.

With him dead, I thought talking about it was useless, so the matter was shelved.

Until a few days ago, I saw our family photo in your office.

When you told me it was taken back from Walter Hansen, I was suddenly alarmed.

Walter Hansen certainly has issues; he clearly isn’t dead and staged his death in a car accident to mislead us.

That day, he came to propose to Dad to marry you, Dad refused, and he must have held a grudge against Dad, which led to his murderous intent."

Faye clenched her fists, if this were true, wouldn’t it mean Mom and Dad were killed because of her?

Tears streamed down her face once more, impossible to stop.

Hunter tried to wipe away her tears, but they wouldn’t stop: "Faye, nothing has been fully investigated, you mustn’t blame yourself too much yet.

No matter what the truth is, Mom and Dad know you love them.

Seeing you like this breaks my heart, truly, don’t cry anymore, okay?"

Faye closed her eyes and hugged him, "Sob sob, Mom, Dad, I’m sorry, I didn’t even know you might have been framed.

All these years, it never occurred to me to investigate if there was a clue in the accident back then.

Mom, Dad, I was wrong, I’m sorry."

Hunter sighed lightly, his parents-in-law were good people; if they were truly framed, the world would be unjust.

He had to help Faye find out the truth, regardless, he couldn’t let his in-laws die in vain.

When Hunter brought Faye out of Richard’s office, Faye’s eyes were still red.

The rare moment these siblings weren’t fighting, both ended up in tears.

Hunter thought it best to mention this matter less in the future.

He would first send someone to investigate it himself.

He took Faye downstairs for dinner, but even with the food on the table, Faye had no appetite.

He personally cut the steak and pushed it in front of her: "Faye, eat."

"I... have no appetite."

"Even if you have no appetite, you must eat, be obedient."

Faye looked up at him, her eyes carrying a bit of sadness.

"Faye, if Mom and Dad were truly murdered by Walter Hansen, then I’m the biggest culprit.

If back then I could have realized my feelings for you sooner and been with you wholeheartedly, not giving Walter Hansen any opportunity, he wouldn’t have approached Dad for a proposal.

If Dad supported me instead of him, he wouldn’t have targeted Mom and Dad.

So, no matter how you look at it, I’m the culprit."

"That’s not true." Faye shook her head: "What happened has nothing to do with you, don’t say such things to comfort me."

"I’m just thinking along your lines. If you don’t want me overthinking, then you shouldn’t overthink either.

Let’s wait until the truth is investigated before we decide further, okay?"

Faye nodded slightly.

"Eat your food."

Faye obediently picked up the fork and ate the cut steak.

Hunter smiled with satisfaction; he had just taken two bites when his phone rang.

It was a call from the secretary’s office.

Hunter answered the call: "Shang Yi, what’s up?"

"Second Master, this afternoon, Director Turner from BlueHorizon Group had lunch with Young Master Zhan."

Hunter frowned, glancing up at Faye. What he feared most had happened.
