Chapter 428 Return as the Heir
Natalie also knew that without concrete evidence, the police couldn't do anything to her.
No one could prove that she harmed Dovie.
Landon couldn't get the truth out of Natalie, so he had to continue looking for new evidence.
Ophelia, upon learning the situation, felt a rush of anger and a sharp pain in her stomach.
Finnegan, seeing her pale face, quickly helped her sit down. "Ophelia, don't worry."
"In 48 hours, Natalie will be out, and my mom will have died in vain," Ophelia said anxiously. "She killed my mom. Doesn't she fear having nightmares at night?"
"There are no deeds without traces. As long as she did it, there will be traces, and the police will find them," Finnegan reassured Ophelia, patting her back. "You've been too emotional these days, and it's not good for you or the baby."
Ophelia had become much more haggard these days, with sores at the corners of her mouth from anxiety. Sometimes, when the baby didn't move in her belly, she would panic, worrying that something might happen to the baby.
Ophelia could only endure.
While waiting for the police to find results, major events were also happening in France.
News of an official being arrested for corruption and bribery caused a great stir in France and even made the news in the U.S.
When Ophelia saw the news, she immediately realized that the official's arrest must be related to Finnegan.
Ophelia, with her belly protruding, went to the study room to find Finnegan and happened to overhear his conversation with Atticus.
Atticus said, "Finnegan, the matter has been settled. Besides the official, many others are implicated. The situation has escalated, and the decision-makers in France can't suppress it. They can only push the official out to give the public an explanation."
A cold light flashed in Finnegan's eyes. "He should have had this realization long ago. You've done well."
"By the way, there's no movement from the person behind that incident. It's been so long, and there's no action from the other side," Atticus said puzzledly. "When that person sent the video of Sybil being harmed, he shouldn't have just stopped there."
"We're not in a hurry. We'll wait for them to take action first," Finnegan said calmly. "Ophelia is about to give birth. Increase the security in the shadows to ensure her safety."
Finnegan set up double protection for Ophelia. In addition to Tate's close protection, there were also bodyguards in the shadows, which made him feel at ease.
Niamh was also a lunatic. With Natalie not coming out for less than 48 hours, Finnegan was also worried about what this lunatic might do.
"Yes, Finnegan," Atticus said. "I'll handle it."
"Good, go ahead."
As Atticus walked out of the study room, he found Ophelia standing at the door and greeted her respectfully, "Madam."
Ophelia nodded in response. After Atticus left, she entered the study room. "There are eleven hours left until the 48 hours are up. If there's no new evidence by tomorrow morning, Natalie will be released. I want to go to the Parks Family."
"Okay, I'll go with you," Finnegan said, not questioning what Ophelia was going to do. He supported her no matter what.
Dovie had passed away, and Ophelia had nothing of her mother's. She wanted to go to the Parks Family to collect some of her mother's belongings as a keepsake.
An hour later, in the Parks Family, Niamh had been staying at home these past two days, not going anywhere. She was frightened, feeling safe only at home.
When the maid said Ophelia had arrived, Niamh, startled, couldn't help but be curious about what Ophelia was doing there and hurried downstairs.
This house was under Dovie's name, and Ophelia had the right to inherit it. With just a word from Ophelia, Niamh would have to leave here.
Seeing Finnegan accompanying Ophelia, Niamh immediately cowered, standing aside without daring to speak.
Niamh harbored resentment, wishing she could kill Ophelia with her eyes. If she had known Ophelia was her stumbling block, she wouldn't have kept her in the company.
Ophelia was her lifelong nemesis. As long as Ophelia was around, everything that belonged to her was gone.
The identity of Parks Corporation's heiress was gone, Parks Corporation was gone, and even her title of Mrs. Abbott was taken by Ophelia.
Ophelia gave Niamh a cold glance and then asked the maid, "Where is my mother's room?"
"This way, on the second floor," the maid, knowing Ophelia was the true heiress of Parks Corporation, replied sensibly.
"Thank you."
Ophelia followed the maid to the second floor while Finnegan waited in the living room. With just a look, he kept Niamh from making any moves.
