Chapter 1109 The Suspect Emerges
When Blake arrived, he saw the person on the ground, tortured beyond recognition. He immediately ordered someone to douse her with saltwater and chili water, causing Lola to scream in agony once more.
But this was just the beginning.
From the past to now, they had given her countless chances, yet she never repented and only escalated her behavior.
If she hadn't been so self-destructive, she would still be the daughter of the Medici family, attending Innovation University, with Henry, who loved her deeply, and a bright future ahead.
The Medici family would treat her well as they always had, and the Hall family would accept her as their daughter-in-law.
Even if things went south, after Maria and Jacob secretly sold her clothes, shoes, purses, and jewelry, as long as she stopped in time, she would still have over a billion dollars in her bank account. By the time she married Henry, the gifts she received would easily push her net worth over three billion dollars.
How many rich girls have three billion dollars in savings?
But she was never satisfied and ended up with nothing.
Meanwhile, when Abella visited her base to check on Sam and Quincy, everyone was all delighted.
Some were getting better, while others pretended to be in pain to get Abella's attention.
When Scorpion opened his eyes on the hospital bed, he was surprised to be alive. He heard from those around him that Abella had tried to take him with her when the church was about to explode, and it was Phillipe who carried him out.
"You're lucky Mr. Bourbon carried you. Not just anyone gets that honor."
"Yeah, how did it feel to be carried by Mr. Bourbon, the richest man in the world?" They teased.
Scorpion looked at Abella with gratitude and was about to get up to apologize when she noticed and helped him.
Abella looked at him calmly and said, "I promised you a new identity and life. Once you're healed, you should leave."
Her words moved Scorpion deeply. This was a true leader, unlike Jacob, who only used them for dirty work and pretended to be a good person.
He suddenly felt a bit envious of Sam and the others for having such a leader.
"Those who can get out of bed, come with me to send off our friends one last time."
Even those who couldn't get out of bed were helped into wheelchairs to follow her.
"By the way, Ms. Medici, what about Jace and his men?" Tony asked, walking beside her.
Jace wasn't Abella's subordinate; he was a bodyguard for the Medici family.
"I already sent some money to their families. Their funerals will be held in the next few days, and we'll go pay our respects."
"Yes, Ms. Medici."
At Long Island Manor, a servant hurriedly reported, "Mr. Medici, Mrs. Medici, someone just delivered this box outside, specifically for you. I didn't get a chance to ask what it was before they left."
Kimberly saw the servant holding an intricately carved wooden box, slightly larger than an A4 sheet. Beckett and Kimberly immediately recognized it as a gift they had bought for George at an auction.
George had always loved collecting antique items and was thrilled when he received this box, treating it like a treasure.
Inside, there was a thick stack of property deeds, stock transfer documents, villa keys, car keys, and more.
There was also a letter.
[Beckett, Kimberly, please allow us to call you that one last time. We know we no longer deserve to be your family. These are all our assets, now transferred to you. The bank card is in your hands, and the password is Margaret's birthday. We wish you all the best. We are grateful to have been part of your family in this life. We hope that in the next life, God will give us a chance to repay you. Take care, Beckett, Kimberly. We are truly, truly sorry.]
Beckett and Kimberly felt a mix of emotions after reading the letter.
Just then, Beckett's phone rang, and a frantic voice came through. "Mr. Medici, your brother and his wife have turned themselves in at the police station... They've confessed everything. This..."
How was he supposed to handle this?
It seemed like a private matter for the Medici family, but it involved serious crimes like hiring hitmen, each one a capital offense.
"Let them be," Beckett said, about to hang up.
"Mr. Medici, they could be detained. If the charges are confirmed, they could face life imprisonment or even the death penalty."
"Don't tell me about their matters anymore. Handle it however you see fit," Beckett said, hanging up.
Soon, it was time for the new school term.
Abella returned to school and was immediately surrounded by fans.
Since her identity was revealed, she had become a school celebrity. Throughout the winter break, Isla and Lola had repeatedly made headlines, often involving her.
People were curious about the power struggles within wealthy families and admired her for surviving so many schemes and thriving.
Since it was known she was a special professor at Innovation University, the teachers no longer pressured her to attend classes.
Inspired by the brain chip for medical use, Abella and Rodolfo developed a new smart chip aimed at helping patients, such as controlling epilepsy.
The initial experiment was a success, making headlines and boosting her fame.
One day, Sam called her. "Ms. Medici, I found something. I'm not sure if I should tell you."
Abella paused her experiment and said calmly, "If you don't, you'll lose this month's bonus."
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you," Sam said quickly. "I accidentally found out that on the night you were born, Phillipe's parents were on Evergreen Street."
Ystad Hospital was on Evergreen Street, at the intersection of three cities.
"I mean, is it possible that the mastermind is Phillipe's parents?" Sam said hesitantly. "They've always been so nice to you, maybe to deceive you."
Someone knocked on the lab door, and Abella instructed, "Keep investigating."
After hanging up, she said, "Come in."
It was Louie, one of Dennis's men. "Ms. Medici, Mr. Medici insisted I bring you some food. I told him I didn't want to disturb your experiment, but he kicked me..."
