Chapter 1031 Can You Tell Me Now?
It was not that she had not thought of that method. She was even prepared to kill him at that time. However, with the circumstance of having high chances to get into trouble, Joseph would be even more cautious.
Hayley pouted her mouth, "How about, Madam, you try eating more garlic."
Waverly nodded, "That is a good way."
Hayley quickly peeled the garlic and gave it to her.
She inserted it into her mouth. She went out with the food and sat opposite Joseph.
He looked at her faintly and said, "Did you eat garlic? Is there any left? Give me a whole basin of it."
She was speechless.
It seemed that she would never be better than him in competing on who was more mischievous.
"Do you want to eat?" She asked again.
"Of course. Let's have bad breath together. Isn't this what you want? If you don't give it to me, I'll go take some myself." He walked to the kitchen door.
Hayley retracted her neck and took out a bowl of garlic. Then, she put it on the table and ran away quickly. Leaning against the doorframe of the kitchen, she continued to stare at them.
The corner of Joseph's mouth twitched. He picked up a garlic, threw it into his mouth and chewed it. He frowned while looking at Waverly, "You think this is delicious?"
She didn't stop. She snorted and laughed, "No one asked you to eat it. It was you who wanted to eat some."
He opened the bottle and poured a glass of wine for her. Then, he took a sip and drained his glass.
She didn't know why, but she felt that he seemed to be unhappy.
However, his expressionless face carried evilness, laziness and an emperor's air, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Waverly also learned his way of doing things and expressed her suspicions in an affirmative way, "I rarely see your sad expression. It seems that I have lived for a long time to be able to witness this."
His eyes were cold when he looked at her, but he was very serious. He did not cover it up, nor did he hide it, "I'm afraid that you will be the one to be sad soon."
Did he mean that the reason he felt sorrowful at that moment was because of her?
In that case, she was really overwhelmed by the honor.
"What on earth is it? You always trigger my desire to know," she asked.
"Let's eat first and then talk about it after dinner. Anyway, there's no hurry," Joseph said. He tasted the chicken cooked by her and nodded, "It's not bad."
"I heard that Yasmine moved to stay with you today. When are you going to get married to her?" She lowered her head and asked thoughtfully.
"Bellamy's case has been exposed. It is inappropriate for me and Yasmine to get married in this period of time. Why do you ask? Do you want me to get married with her earlier or get married later?" He stared at her and asked.
Waverly looked up at him, "Can I stop the marriage between you and her?"
The corner of his mouth curled up and there was a strange light in his eyes, "Why don't you try to stop it? Maybe there might be a surprise?"
She bowed her head and did not answer him. She picked up a piece of salmon and put it onto her plate. While feasting on the fish, she said, "The person who tried to assassinate me should not be from the Harington family. If it was from that family, you should be very happy. Also, it should not be from the Mccarthy family. If it was from that family, the news must have been sent out. You must be very busy. You wouldn't be in the mood to have dinner with me."
"Keep guessing." He urged, drinking wine and eating the chicken made by her.
Waverly frowned and looked at him, "It's impossible for it to be Bellamy. If it's Bellamy, this case would have been exposed earlier and would have made a big fuss. Is it an unrelated person?"
"Are you full now?" He glanced at her plate.
She put down her cutlery and said, "I already ate some when I was in the kitchen."
"I'll get you another half plate of pasta. I'll tell you when you finish eating," he urged.
She frowned and thought, "Joseph's request for her food portion is too strict."
Before she spoke, Hayley brought a small plate of pasta and put it in front of Waverly.
Joseph put chicken, salmon and some shrimps on her plate.
"Eat all of them," he requested.
Waverly stopped struggling and ate with her head down.
After she finished eating, she put down her cutlery and looked at him, "Can you tell me now?"
"Yazoo and his members were playing tricks," he replied.
"Impossible! If it was done by his member, why would he protect me? He didn't need to do that." Waverly didn't believe it.
"It's because he didn't plan to shoot in the first place. He just wanted to show you his sacrifice. It was a strategy. What he didn't expect was that something really happened to Bellamy. His pistol actually became evidence," said Joseph.
"There's no need for him to do that." Waverly was in utter shock.
He took out his mobile phone and started the recording.
Yazoo's voice was heard, "Remember, wait for me to sit next to her. When she looks at you, you raise the pistol. I will protect her. You don't have to shoot. It might alert the guards. Throw your pistol and clothes away immediately. There are so many people there that no one will be able to find out who did it."
Her shoulders fell.
In other words, the person who held a pistol and pointed it at her was Yazoo.
"He did not want to kill me and he is not the murderer of Bellamy's case. It's just... a joke," she said.
"A joke? His members entered the palace with guns. How grave do you think this charge is?" Joseph questioned.
"His pistol can't be real, can it?" She asked.
The corner of his mouth curled into a smile, "It's real. Besides that, the bullet is of the same model as the one that hit Bellamy. The Harington family is trying their best to find this person. They think that the one who owns this gun is the one who shot at Bellamy."
"Yazoo won't hire anyone to shoot," she said with certainty.
"It's impossible for him to find someone to shoot. However, in order to act as a hero to save the damsel in distress, he just needed a toy gun. Why did his people use a real gun? To top it all off, the model of the bullet is MX120, which belongs to Mccarthy family. Do you think it's a coincidence or was he manipulated by someone else?" He asked.
His mention was enough to make her shudder, "You mean that Yazoo was framed. The other party might be from the Harington family."
"Look, the Harington family will definitely pay full attention to the Mccarthy family and will not let them go. It is very likely that they will find someone to point out that it was instructed by the Mccarthy family. At worst, they will have Yazoo shoulder blame in the end. This will not get the Harington family into trouble. Whether the murderer is one of Yazoo's members or not, Yazoo will be in trouble since he was framed to be the scapegoat."
"But doesn't your recording prove that he didn't instruct his people to shoot?"
"I only have this part of the recording. From the recording, it is obvious that Yazoo liked you, so he directed this dangerous scene."
"When he saw Bellamy give you the flowers and invite you to stay in the palace, the acting scene became a disaster due to jealousy. Bellamy was shot."
"After all, the bullets in the pistol were the same," he continued.
"In addition, the Mccarthy and Harington families had conflicts with each other. Based on the current situation, Yazoo had to be the scapegoat."
"That is unless we can find strong evidence at this time to prove that there were other people who shot with their pistols." Joseph analyzed.
