She Became Rich After Divorce
Chapter 503: Gossip

Chapter 503: Gossip

As a scion of a wealthy family, Davon had the reason to appear arrogant.

The enforcers, weak as they were, might have been afraid of offending the Todd family and chosen to retreat, but Gordon was known to be a tough nut, upright and resolute.

The more brazen and domineering Davon acted, the more Gordon wanted to eradicate this hypocritical "cancer".

With a cold smile, Gordon met Davon's gaze with dignity, "Master Davon, rest assured, I never wrong a good man and I will never let a villain go!"

Having been in this line of work for many years, Mr. Welch had long heard of Gordon's reputation. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

At present, it was unknown what evidence the police held. If they clashed right now, the chances of winning were only fifty percent.

"Mr. Murillo, my client is a lawful citizen and would never engage in illegal activities. What entitles you to arrest him? According to judicial procedures, we have the right to demand removal of the handcuffs and exercise the right to bail," Mr. Welch began.

Before Mr. Welch could finish speaking, Thalia, seated nearby, rose from her seat in a fit of rage and began to shout at the multitude of police officers.

In her high heels, she rushed forward, grabbed Gordon by the collar, and began to hit and kick him.

Her dignified and refined demeanor was completely ruined, resembling a shrew in every way.

"You are not allowed to take away my son. What crime has he committed? Who accused him, and what evidence is there?" she bellowed.

Suddenly, a strange and husky voice came from behind.

The husky voice, tinged with a hint of sexiness, was unmistakably distinctive, leaving a strong impression.

"It was me who accused him!"

Cheyenne turned back in surprise to see a slender and striking figure slowly walking towards them, appearing to be around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. The woman was dressed in a deep green silk kimono embroidered with small red peony patterns, the vibrant and exquisite colors complementing her slender figure.

She wore white silk socks and wooden clogs, presenting an image of grace and elegance by simply standing there.

Beside her, she held a three-year-old boy, as beautiful as a doll with delicate features.

Was this Master Lewis of the Todd family?

Everyone knew that Kai, in his old age, had fathered a pair of adorable twins, but they had never appeared in public, not even a single photo taken by the most renowned paparazzi in the country. Now, finally, the twin boy's true face was revealed. It was startling to discover a very important piece of information. Upon closer inspection, the little boy's features bore a resemblance to Master Davon! Thalia, raising her head, her angry face turned incredible.

'Sophie Todd... How could she be here? I have my men keep an eye on Sophie's every move in Jostrana. I gave Sophie the information that Kai's condition had improved considerably after taking the medicine and he would recover soon, but why did Sophie know the press conference today and show up?'

Thalia's fury suddenly shifted towards Sophie, who came straight at her, indignant, questioning, "Sophie, why would you slander your own brother like this? Don't forget who has been taking care of you all these years!"

Lewis was frightened and sought refuge in Sophie's embrace, his grape-like eyes filled with tears, pitiful and trembling like a small beast in the dark night.

He cried and tremblingly pointed a chubby, dirty finger at Thalia, his weak voice choking, "It... It's her. She's the one who killed my sister."

What! Thalia murdered one of the twins!

But that's not all. Sophie exposed a recorded conversation in public, which was a talk between Madam Thalia and Mr. Todd on the day of the incident.

It turned out that Mr. Todd's illness was not simply a stroke - he was poisoned!

Madam Thalia, in order to coerce him into signing the will, went so far as to kill a three-year-old child.

It was simply insane!

This earth-shattering revelation sent the journalists into a frenzy! They were excited as they got so much newsworthy information today.

Intrigue and strife within a wealthy family, father and son at odds, siblings at war, poisoning, murder... How many dirty secrets were hidden behind the facade of the Todd family's prosperity? The voice in the recording...

Damn it!

Thalia stood transfixed, her hand clenched into a fist beneath her sleeve, allowing her nails to dig into her palm, blood dripping onto her beloved, pure white dress.

Yet, she seemed to feel no pain at all.

How could Sophie have this recording?

She was in Jostrana, and it was impossible for her to have spies around her. So who was it?

Who was monitoring her from behind?

Gordon did not give Thalia the time to ponder. Without expression, he unshackled the handcuff and swiftly clamped the handcuff onto Thalia's wrist.

As the cold sensation struck her, Thalia struggled and glared at Gordon with bloodshot eyes.

"Ridiculous! You want to arrest me based on a sourceless recording. Do you know that my father is your superior's superior? Young man, you probably have no idea what consequences await you. Believe me, I can get you fired at any time!"

Sophie's mouth curved into a gentle smile. Wearing wooden clogs, she walked elegantly to Thalia and looked at her teasingly.

"Madam Thalia, you want the evidence, don't you? I have it!"

She took out a small brown medicine bottle and a doctor's signed confession from her handbag and slammed it onto Madam Thalia's face.

"This is the confession of the doctor you bribed. He has confessed to helping you. And the bottle contains the poison you gave my father. Mr. Murillo, you can have it tested."

Gordon nodded and handed the bottle to his assistant.

Davon furrowed his brow and silently watched his "good sister," his eyes filled with an increasingly intense bloodthirst.

He had underestimated his sitter.

He had always thought that his greatest competitor was that cripple, never expecting his sister to be his enemy.

Sophie snapped her fingers and revealed her secret ace - the will!

She cast a meaningful glance at her elder brother, Davon, and said softly, "I hope, after hearing this, you won't regret it."

The will read:

I, Kai, a native of Onistead, born in 1968, owns real estate worth one billion, liquid assets of one hundred billion, vineyards, and horse farms, and voluntarily distributes them as follows.

Eldest son Iker Todd 15%, second son Davon Todd, who has contributed the most to the family, Poppy and her daughter Sophie 20%; the twins, 15%; and the remaining 10% will be donated to a public welfare foundation...

How could this be?
