Chapter 87
“Sasha? Does it have anything to do with her?” Leah frowned and looked at Ian in disbelief.
After all, Sasha had been living with the White family for 10 years. She had changed from a little girl to a grown-up. It was scary if she really ganged up with Charlie from the beginning.
“I’m not sure yet, but Charlie is indeed Sasha’s biological father, and he caused the tragedy to happen. Leah, do you believe such a coincidence?” Ian looked at Leah seriously as he thought she was fearful to find out the truth.
Hearing that, Leah could not help but blink and quickly avoided Ian’s gaze. She sighed and clenched her fists slightly.
“Although I did not mean to remind you about your sad memories, do you know that Sasha was there on the day Mr. White met with the accident?” Ian asked.
Leah tried to recall after hesitating for a moment. However, she could not remember anything after thinking for a long time.
She shook her head. “I can’t recall anything, and I don’t know if I saw Sasha.”
Hearing that, Ian nodded and looked at her with concern. He continued, “I’ve been investigating, and I got the surveillance video of the White residence from Mrs. White. Sasha.. she did not leave the White residence that day.”
Leah’s face darkened when she heard that.
If Sasha did not leave the White residence and had been at home all the time, it was impossible she did not hear such a loud noise.
Seeing Leah’s expression, Ian knew she had the same thought as him.
“Forget it. I’ll look into it myself. Don’t worry about it. You just came back. What you need is more rest.” Ian said and sighed.
Shaking her head, Leah forced a smile. “It doesn’t matter. I’m almost recovered. Besides, I’m one of the members of the family. I’ll investigate with you.”
“Speaking of which, I think you look fine. But I heard you had a hard time in prison. How did you get through it?” Ian frowned and looked at Leah worriedly.
At the thought that Leah might have suffered inhuman torture in prison, Ian felt heartbroken as he could not help her at that time.
Hearing that, the scene where she had been bullied in prison suddenly flashed through Leah’s mind.
Leah could not help but close her eyes. However, her body trembled slightly, and a hint of pain appeared on her face.
Seeing that, Ian could not help but step forward to hug her. He sighed and whispered in her ear, “It’s all right. It’s all over now. You will live a normal life when we catch Charlie.”
Hugged by Ian, Leah hesitated whether to push him away. However, thinking that he did that for her, she did not resist and let him hug her.
However, Ian interpreted it as something else. Seeing that Leah did not push him away, a hint of joy appeared on his face. He looked into her eyes and said, “Sarah, when everything is settled, can you…” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
However, before Ian could finish his words, his phone rang.
Ian could not help but frown slightly. Then he took out his phone from his pocket and pressed the answer button.
The person on the other end of the phone said something, and Ian’s expression changed. He stood up from the couch and asked nervously, “What? What did you say?”
A moment later, Ian pursed his lips and muttered, “Okay, I know. I’ll be right there.”
Looking at the nervous look on Ian’s face, Leah somehow felt nervous too. She stood up and asked, “What happened?”
“They found Charlie.” Ian wanted to continue to say something but stopped on second thought.
Hearing that, Leah was stunned. “Really? That’s great. Where is he now? Let’s send our men to catch him as soon as possible!”
“Sarah…” Ian held Leah’s hand and said, “Listen to me. No matter what happens, you have to control yourself, okay?”
Hearing that, Leah was confused. Nonetheless, she had no choice but to agree. However, she had a hunch that something bad had happened.
Leah followed Ian to a building. As soon as she got off the car, she was shocked by the chaotic scene. In front of her was the police cordon, and police officers, doctors, and nurses were running here and there. Everyone was busy.
Ian informed the detectives, and he took Leah across the cordon and went straight to the center.
In the middle, there was a white cloth with blood everywhere. A few detectives were taking photos, and some were taking samples. Not only that, a few detectives were having intense discussions with each other.
Looking at the person covered by the white cloth, Leah suddenly felt dizzy.
“What’s going on?” Leah grabbed Ian’s hand.
Right then, a few detectives and forensic experts in white coats came over.
“He’s dead. He fell from the 16th floor and had a severe bone fracture. Even God could not save him.” A forensic expert shook his head and looked at Ian.
Hearing that, Leah’s face turned pale.
One of the detectives looked at Ian and then looked at Leah again. “Are you the adopted daughter of the dead? The murderer who murdered Mr. White is your adoptive father?”
Leah nodded, her face was so pale. “The person who fell off the building…”
“He’s Charlie, your adoptive father,” the detective said expressionlessly. “After we received the evidence from Mr. Sanders, we went all out to chase after him. We almost arrested him today, but unexpectedly, he ran to the International World Trade Building and jumped down from the 16th floor and was dead.”
Hearing that, Leah could not help but her body quiver. Luckily, Ian was beside her and caught her in time.
“He’s dead?” Leah could not believe it. Charlie killed Gordon and ruined her happy family. Not only that, he let Sasha replace her and let Han torture her for three years, but now he was dead. Who was going to pay for what she had suffered before?
Seeing the expression on Leah’s face, the forensic expert sighed, “We’re sorry, Ms. White. But the murderer is dead, and the case is closed.”
“No! You can’t do that!” Leah exclaimed. “At least, we have to clarify the truth to everyone.”
“But he is dead. How could he clarify and admit what he has done? As for your identity…Maybe…” Maybe no one could prove it forever.
Leah clenched her fists tightly. She wanted to ask Charlie in person if he had replaced her with Sasha 10 years ago.
Holding Leah’s shoulder, Ian felt sorry looking at her. “Don’t worry. I will explain it to Mrs. White. I know everything. You’re the only daughter of the White family and no one can replace you.”
Leah looked up at Ian. Suddenly, a figure appeared in her mind.
“Sasha!” she gasped.
