Chapter 386
Outside the villa, Lamont's expression was stern. "Miss Anderson, you can't trust Mr. Dawson, do you understand?"
"Why can't I?" She asked.
"Paxton was the one responsible for your mother's death, and he is the younger brother of Savannah's maid. Savannah had a grudge against your mother before, so I suspect that she had something to do with this matter. If that's the case, do you think you can trust Joseph?"
"I trust him! If I can't even trust Joseph, then there will be no one in this world who can be trusted!"
"Miss Anderson! You can't be so oblivious. Joseph and you are just an ordinary couple. Haven't you thought about his true identity? Is he really as simple as he looks?"
"What do you mean? What other identity does he have?"
"I don't have any evidence now, but I'm sure that he's not an ordinary person!" Lamont gasped for breath and continued, "Miss Anderson, you've been with him for so long, and you don't doubt him at all? Maybe he has a motive for getting close to you."
"What motive do you mean here? What can he get from me?" She retorted, "Listen, Joseph doesn't lack wealth or women. He just likes me."
"It would be best if this is true! I am afraid that... Anyway, if this situation with Paxton can be solved smoothly, and the truth gets exposed, I'II believe that he has no other motives for you. If something unexpected happens, then you know what that means!" Upon finishing his sentence, Joseph rushed
out of the villa in a hurry. "Paige, hurry up. We need to go to the hospital right away. Something may have happened to Paxton!"
The news of Paxton's death reached them before they arrived at the hospital. Upon hearing that, Joseph clenched his fists.
Lamont, who was driving, had a sullen look on his face. He coldly looked at Joseph from the rearview mirror.
Feeling his gaze, Joseph looked at him. Their eyes met fiercely. Then, Joseph said slowly, "Lamont! Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lamont was also someone with influence.
He had been by Archer's side for decades and thought that there was nothing he was afraid of. However, he felt the pressure when meeting Joseph's sharp gaze and hearing his calm tone.
Joseph always put on a frivolous and mischievous look. This sudden change in his gaze made him look completely different from before. He was still himself, and his face was the same. However, his aura was completely different.
He sat in the back row with his back straight and a murderous look in his eyes. This was the imposing aura of a superior person.
Lamont suddenly braked, and the car stopped at the side of the road. "Don't you think that what happened today is too coincidental, Mr. Dawson?"
"Coincidental? Do you think it's sheer luck? This is premeditated murder. It has nothing to do with coincidence!" Joseph sneered.
"Oh, so you also know that this was murder? So tell me, who killed Paxton? What was the purpose?" Lamont countered.
"How would I know who killed Paxton?" Joseph sneered. At this point, Lamont intended to accuse him of killing Paxton.
"Don't you know?" Lamont replied.
"Uncle Saunders!" Paige, who was sitting next to him, also noticed that something was wrong. Was Lamont suspecting Joseph?
How was that possible?
She immediately stopped him.
"Should I know?" Joseph sneered in response.
"Lamont, I know you suspect me. Do you think that I planned all of this? Use your brain! If I was the one who plotted Paxton's death, why would I spend so much effort and wait until now? If I didn't investigate it, would you even suspect Paxton? Would you find evidence? I see that you have no clue on what Paxton has done at all, right?"
"Uncle Saunders, how could you possibly suspect Joseph? You're crossing the line!" Paige was
unhappy. She hugged Joseph.
"Joseph, don't be angry. I don't suspect you! I believe in you no matter what!"
Joseph patted her head. Lamont's accusations made him very unhappy, but Paige's words comforted him. If both of them suspected him, he would be in a bad mood.
His efforts paid off. As long as she stood up for him, he did not care about what other people thought.
However, Lamont must have said something bad about him in front of Paige. He couldn't just let it go.
Joseph looked at him coldly and said, "I won't argue with you for Paige's sake today. I'II let you off the hook. If there's a next time, don't blame me if anything happens! I don't care how great you used to be, but if you mess with me, you will bear the consequences!"
Lamont did not say anything in response.
Indeed, if killing Paxton was Joseph's doing, he wouldn't have started an investigation for it.
If it wasn't Joseph, then it must be Savannah.
Joseph and Paige couldn't be together in the first place. Now that such a thing had happened, it was even more impossible for them to be together.
No matter what, he must prevent them from being together!
In Ruthorham, Savannah had not slept at all She anxiously waited for news all night on her bed.
Finally, her phone rang, and she picked it up immediately. "How's it going?"
Then, Dixie said in a hoarse voice, "Madam, it's done!"
Savannah felt relieved. "Good job, don't worry. I'll fulfill what I promised you! Your son will get the position he wants, and I'll take care of your brother's daughter as well!"
"Thank you, Madam!" Dixie expressed her gratitude. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
She didn't want to kill her own brother, but she had no choice.
If she didn't do it, someone else would do it.
Paxton was destined to die, so it was better if she were the one to end him. This way, she could help her son and increase Savannah's trust in her. She could also give Paxton's daughter, Sophia, a good life.
She thought that she'd done a good job investigating the situation, and she killed two birds with one stone.
In the Saunders family's house, Gavin knocked on the table with the smoking pipe in his hand. After a while, he asked, "So Paxton is dead?"
"Yes! They couldn't rescue him, so he passed!" Arthur answered.
"She is simply too vicious!" Gavin sighed softly. "I misjudged her! I thought she would be a gentle and
virtuous young lady, but she is the devil!"
"It's not your fault... Savannah is just too good at disguising herself! Furthermore, judging by your relationship with Hayden, you couldn't have known that the Dawson family's eldest daughter would be so vicious!"
"They've already taken three lives! I don't know if there will be any more in the future…"
Gavin sighed softly. "Did Hayden say anything?"
"No. He probably doesn't know about it, or maybe he is helpless like you now. After all, this matter has brought shame to their entire family!"
"That's right. The ones who are affected are the Saunders and Dawson family. Who's going to clean up her mess for her?" Gavin laughed bitterly. "Is there any news regarding the child I asked you to investigate?"
"Yes, I was about to bring it up. Miss Anderson's DNA has a 99.99% correlation to Sir Archer's.
