Chapter 530
Dominic collapsed at the edge of the bed, his face already covered in tears, looking devastated.
The police quickly stepped forward to check and confirm, then walked towards Jackson with a grave expression and said, "She probably injected cyanide. The syringe and the suicide note were prepared in advance. She's already dead."
"Mom! Dad, what happened to Mom? Weren't you with her? How could this happen?" Star stumbled in, grabbed Susan's hand, and cried while asking Dominic.
Dominic regretfully said, "I went to the dressing room to find clothes for your mom. She said she wanted to look at our home one more time. When I went in, she was still looking at the photo album."
"Mom! Mom, don't scare me, please say something!" Star shook Susan, but Dominic had already calmed down. He pulled Star up and said, "Star, don't do this. Let your mom go peacefully. This was her choice."
Star covered her face and cried, staggering towards Jackson, who stood by door. Her face was pale, and tears kept falling. "Jackson, my mom is dead. I don't have a mom anymore. Is Lilian satisfied now?"
She gave a bleak smile, her expression filled with sorrow. Suddenly, she closed her eyes and fainted towards Jackson.
Jackson frowned slightly and instinctively reached out, catching Star in his arms.
Lillian, feeling uneasy downstairs, came up with Harry. As she approached, she saw this scene.
Jackson was holding the fragile Star in his arms, his lowered eyes clearly showing concern.
Lillian's steps halted, and she turned abruptly to go back downstairs.
"Mrs. Frane."
Harry's voice made Jackson turn around. Seeing Lillian's departing figure, Jackson frowned deeply.
He handed Star to a nearby police officer and quickly went after Lillian.
Lillian, heavily pregnant, walked steadily but slowly.
She had only descended a few steps when Jackson caught up with her.
Jackson reached out and grabbed her arm, explaining in a deep voice, "Susan committed suicide. Star was traumatized."
Lillian struggled slightly and said coldly, "You don't need to tell me this."
Jackson's eyes darkened, and he gripped Lillian's arm a bit too tightly, his words coming out harshly. "Lilian, Susan is dead! This should end now."
Susan confessed, and now she was dead. Continuing to dwell on it was pointless. What else could she do?
If she kept stubbornly holding onto this, she would be seen as unreasonable and heartless!
And although Jackson didn't say it explicitly, it was clear from his words.
Lillian sneered and nodded. "The murderer's mother is dead. No one can commit crimes for Star anymore. What a pity. She is truly unfortunate.
"But fortunately, we are divorced now. I give you to her willingly, so she doesn't have to fight for you. So, Mr. Frane, please go back and take good care of her!"
"Lillian!" Jackson's handsome face turned extremely dark in an instant, the veins on his forehead clearly visible.
Lillian was in pain from his grip. She didn't speak again but used her other hand to forcefully pry Jackson's fingers off one by one.
Jackson pressed his lips tightly, restraining his emotions.
He didn't want to let go until he saw the pained expression on Lillian's pale face.
Jackson suddenly released his grip. Lillian instinctively patted the spot he had held and turned to leave.
Her disdainful, instinctive action made Jackson's handsome face darken even more.
At this moment, the investigating police officer caught up. Now that Susan was dead, they needed to consult Jackson on the follow-up case handling.
Jackson had no choice but to instruct Harry, "Take her home."
Harry hurried to catch up with Lillian. Outside the Price residence, several police cars were still there, and a security line had been set up.
