Chapter: 1053

“Look! You've started doubting us because of her! Did Maddie tell you anything? "You can't believe it! She's not just anyone; she's your mother. You're her son, She'll be sad if you, of all people, don't believe her!" Godfrey instantly got so excited.

"I don't care about any other thing. I'm already used to her tyranny for so many years, but she shouldn't have harmed Bethany's mother."

“Your mother..."

"We both know clearly whether she did it or not."

Jonathan didn't accept that his father wasn't aware of it.

But given his mother's character, she wouldn't let his father be aware of everything. At most, she would only say little about it.

“What are you insinuating?" Godfrey reacted, wearing a frown. “You brought the children back today to interrogate us?"

"I don't have anything to ask. The evidence was right in Bethany's hand, and I'd seen all I needed to see. Also, I've sent people to confirm what Maddie said. As for other things, I'll see how the court will appraise them."

Godfrey took hold of Jonathan, who was about to leave, looked into his eyes, and asked, “What evidence does Bethany have? Is she trying to incriminate your mother? Jonathan, don't forget that she is your mother!"

"I didn't forget." That was the reason he stood here today.

“So tell me, what does Bethany intend to do?" Godfrey also realized that something was off as if it wasn't as straightforward as what his wife had told him. "Your mother told me she just connived at what Maddie did and did not participate! I reprimanded and told her she shouldn't have indulged Maddie like this!"

With a disapproving look, Jonathan asked, “Are you sure my mother was being honest?"

Godfrey became quiet suddenly. He wasn't sure.

“Bethany is going to take legal action against my mother and Maddie for murder. And as for the court's judgment, I won't interfere. If my mother is the victim, she can show the evidence." Jonathan straightened his back and said in a deep voice, “But if she wants to conceal this whole situation by hurting Bethany, I won't act so ignorant like you."

No matter how the lawsuit turned out for Bethany, everything hinged on the evidence. Jonathan remained steadfast, refusing to mediate.

Moreover, he vowed not to let anyone compromise the fairness he had assured Bethany.

Bethany's sole desire was justice. She deserved to be vindicated and for the wrongdoer to face consequences.

Thus, Jonathan provided Bethany with the toughest evidence and witnesses. It was his final act of support for her.

He pushed aside any other thoughts.

"Murder?"

The word caught Godfrey off guard.

Usually unflappable, he stumbled back a few steps. “Your mother couldn't have..."

"There was a long-standing grudge between Bethany's mother and Maddie. If Maddie had intended to act, she wouldn't have delayed."

Godfrey fell silent, absorbing the weight of the revelation.
