Chapter 526 Choosing to be Strong
Deacon was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. Oscar's confession confirmed that his ten years of planning was a joke.
For ten years, he worked for that person, doing things step by step, leading to today, all to make Finnegan pay the price. He had sold his soul, only to find that there was someone else who had killed his parents, and this person had been by his side all along.
How ironic.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Deacon collapsed on the bed, his eyes wide open. Ophelia instructed the police to take Oscar away first. Ophelia did not rush Deacon. She waited for him to recover before asking, "The person you wanted, I have brought him here. You have vented your anger. Now, Deacon, it's time for you to fulfill your promise."
Deacon just stared at the ceiling like that, finding it hard to accept reality. After a while, he finally moved his eyes and looked at Ophelia. "I don't know who wants to kill Finnegan. You can think about who Finnegan might have offended."
"Deacon." Ophelia was angry, thinking he was talking nonsense.
Deacon smiled. "I have never said that I know." From the beginning, Deacon had no intention of telling the truth. He also knew that Ophelia would not really trade Oscar's life for the truth.
It had been ten years. Oscar, who was a minor at the time, and the death of his parents was deemed an accident. Who would pay for the lives of his parents? Of course, Deacon dared not say. Because if he did not say so, he could still live. Once he said it, he would die even faster. That person would not let him off.
Suppressing her anger, Ophelia stared at Deacon for a few seconds, then walked out of the room.
Oscar had already been taken away by the police.
The feeling of helplessness made Ophelia desperate. She couldn't make Deacon tell the truth, and she vaguely sensed that the person who wanted to harm Finnegan was not simple.
Ophelia left, leaving Deacon feeling somewhat surprised. He thought Ophelia would get angry and would do whatever it took to make him tell the truth, but she didn't.
Ophelia sat in the hospital corridor. After some time, her legs felt a bit numb. Landon walked over and asked her, "Do you need a ride back?"
Ophelia shook her head, refusing Landon's offer to drive her back. She went back on her own.
Back at home, the maid dared not ask anything.
Warmie was at the Abbott family's old mansion, taken care of by Celia and the others. When Ophelia returned to her bedroom and closed the door, she couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.
Every corner of the room was filled with beautiful memories of Finnegan. Scenes of Finnegan getting drunk and acting stubborn, leaning against the headboard calling her, coming out after a shower wrapped in a towel, the towel suddenly dropping to the floor, seen by her...
Each memory made Ophelia feel more and more uncomfortable.
The sweeter it was, the more bitter it felt at this moment.
After crying for a while, Ophelia took a shower in the bathroom to clear her mind. After a brief breakdown, she chose to be strong.
According to Atticus's account, Finnegan was ambushed that night, perhaps by someone from the underworld.
Thinking of this, Ophelia called Tate, thinking that as long as she found the person who had harmed Finnegan that night, she would know where Finnegan was.
On the other side, Tate had moved to the North Gate Villa area in City N with Lloyd. Coincidentally, Finnegan also had a house in this neighborhood where the Golden Python was being kept.
When Tate saw Ophelia's call, she hesitated to answer. Even if she didn't answer, she knew why Ophelia was calling. Something had happened to Finnegan, and she was no longer Ophelia's bodyguard. Now, back at Moonlight Gate, she shouldn't have any more dealings with Ophelia.
As the phone continued to ring, Tate hesitated. A voice suddenly sounded behind her. "Is it a call from the Abbott family?" Lloyd appeared behind her.
Tate immediately turned off the phone and respectfully said, "Master."
"Tate, always remember your identity." Lloyd handed Tate a bottle of medicine. "This is your medicine for this month."
"Thank you, Master." Tate took the medicine, hiding the chill in her eyes.
To control the people in Moonlight Gate, everyone in Moonlight Gate was given medicine, a drug they had been taking since childhood. Once they disobeyed, they would have no antidote, only a dead end.
Whether it was her or the others in Moonlight Gate, they were all just tools of Lloyd.
Lloyd ordered, "Tate, go deal with someone. Anthony made a mistake, and that person is now under the police's watchful eyes, posing a great risk. You must make sure that person never speaks again."
Tate asked, "Deacon? Is he also from Moonlight Gate?"
