The Heiress Who Took Revenge

Chapter 627 A Reasonable Explanation

Eliza's brows furrowed. "Weren't all the dangerous items supposed to have been removed from the room? Where did a knife come from?" Anyone could tell something was wrong. The doctor shook his head and said, “We don't know who left a scalpel in the room. By the time our people realized something was wrong and went in, it was too late.” “Time of death?” “7:30 tonight.” At that time, everyone was at their engagement party. In other words, the other party had specifically made their move on the day of the party, a time when their protection of Wendy was lax, as most of their manpower was guarding the party venue. Eliza fell silent. It was obvious: the person who gave Wendy the knife had to be one of Tyson's people. No wonder Tyson had been so agreeable today. The moment he was asked to attend the family banquet, he immediately accepted. Eliza took out her phone, preparing to call Henry and ask about the situation. But Nolan pressed his hand down on hers and said, “I'll do it.” Eliza didn't refuse, instead letting Nolan step into the hallway to call Henry. The call on Henry's end was cut short, and the underground elevator doors suddenly opened. Henry walked out of the elevator. When she saw him, Eliza frowned. “You didn't attend our engagement party today. Where were you?” “The Foster family business is demanding. Where else could I be? I came over immediately after I got the call.” Henry's expression was indifferent. He glanced at the body in the morgue and said, “She is my aunt, after all. I have to see her off on her final journey. My father asked me to come and collect her body. She will be buried tomorrow.” “You're not even going to ask how your aunt died?” “I was told clearly on the phone. You understand as well, don't you? Someone must have forced her to do it. That person... wasn't it Cramer?” Eliza frowned. “It wasn't Cramer, it was…” “You can take her.” Nolan merely said this and nothing more. Henry had already come prepared. Hearing Nolan's words, the bodyguards behind him quickly stepped forward and carried Wendy's body away. But Wendy still held too many secrets. Eliza wanted to stop them but was held back by Nolan's arm. “Nolan, there's definitely something wrong here…” Wendy had never intended to reveal the identity of the person behind the scenes, but for her to die so bizarrely... although they already knew Cramer had called Tyson and told him to make a move... ...Tyson absolutely did not have the ability to get to Wendy in the city center hospital. Who didn't know the city center hospital was Foster family territory? If the Foster family hadn't cleared the way, how could Wendy possibly have died? Therefore, Henry was definitely lying just now. But Nolan still said nothing, merely allowing Henry's men to take Wendy's body. “Thanks.” Henry dropped this single, abrupt word, then turned and left. When he reached the elevator, Henry suddenly stopped and said, “With Wendy dead, there's no need for you to continue investigating. It's not worth getting burned. Besides, the person behind it has nothing to do with you. You don't need to get involved in this mess.” After speaking, Henry stepped into the elevator. Only after Eliza watched him leave did she pull her arm free from Nolan's grasp. “Why did you stop me just now? Why didn't you let me ask?” It was obvious to anyone that something was strange. Nolan naturally knew it too. He just didn't intend to expose Henry's lie at this moment.“He must have his reasons for doing this. Besides, I don't think the person who died just now was Wendy.” “Not Wendy? How is that possible?” The doctor had just said Wendy's carotid artery was cut when she died. But, as Nolan pointed out, that was just what the doctor said. They had never actually seen Wendy's body. From the moment they entered, the body had been covered by a white sheet, and the doctor had shown no intention of uncovering it for them. And Henry had arrived immediately afterward, demanding to take the body. After taking the body, he had warned them not to investigate the person behind it. All of this made Eliza suddenly realize. “The Foster family previously reached a cooperative agreement with Tyson. Tyson must have approached Henry and asked him to dispose of Wendy. But we both know Henry would never kill his own aunt. So, did Henry secretly transfer Wendy, and the body lying in there was just a random corpse from the morgue?” “It's the most reasonable explanation I can think of.”
