Chapter 145 You Must Mistake Her for Someone Else
"It's..." Emily wanted to say something.
She wanted to help Mrs. Ashford say a few words and slander Ivy as well. That woman was dead anyway, and it didn't matter what Emily said.
"Shut up!" Dylan immediately stopped his granddaughter. He knew very well that this matter was very complicated, and they must not participate in it.
"Mrs. Ashford!" Richard shouted angrily, wanting to say a few words for Ivy.
Now he fully understood the situation. The piece of mussel shell Mrs. Ashford took out was not her own at all, and it was Ivy's.
"Grandpa!" Ivy shook her head and signaled Richard not to speak in such a hurry because she still wanted to see what Mrs. Ashford would say.
Alexander shook his head in disappointment. "Grandma, I really didn't expect you to be such a person. That piece of the mussel shell is clearly brought by Ivy!"
"Nonsense! This piece of mussel shell is an ancestral item of the Ashford family!" Mrs. Ashford said to the crowd, "Let me tell you this. Ivy worked as a maid in my family and was willing to do it with a monthly salary of 285 dollars a month. Why? Because what she covets is property of the Ashford family.
"While working as a maid, she sometimes hooked up with Leo and sometimes with Alexander, dreaming about marrying into the Ashford family. After I saw through her tricks, she became malicious and tried to steal away this ancestral piece of the Ashford family, this 77,000-year-old mussel shell..."
"Grandma! That is too much!" Alexander shouted with a cold face.
"Grandma! You crossed the line!" Leo also shouted.
"Fiona! You are shameless!" Richard took off his mask and angrily threw it on the table.
"You! It's you..."
Seeing Richard's appearance, Mrs. Ashford's whole body began to tremble.
"Mom!" Hailey quickly supported Mrs. Ashford and said in a panic, "Richard, you must mistake her for someone else. My mother is Annabel, not Fiona. Fiona slipped off a cliff and died a long time ago."
Leo also nodded and said, "Mr. Forster, you really mistook her for someone else. My grandma's name is Annabel, not Fiona."
"Well, she knows best what her name is!"
Richard pointed at Mrs. Ashford and said extremely coldly, "Fiona, aren't you tired after acting for so many years?
"You can fool others, but you can't fool me. Annabel studied archaeology with me and has a more thorough study of ancient cultural relics than I do. If you were Annabel, you would have known the value of this mussel shell piece yourself, so why do you find someone else to identify it?"
With trembling hands, Mrs. Ashford pointed at Richard. "Don't talk nonsense. Who are you? I don't know you. Stop making up stories here. Otherwise, I will send you to prison!"
"Well," Richard snorted coldly. "Will you be so kind sending me to prison? Shouldn't you find a car to run over me to death? You can easily handle such things!"
"Shut up! If you talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart!" Mrs. Ashford was pissed off, pointing at Leo, and said, "Leo, this person is crazy. Help grandma kick him away immediately!"
Leo hesitated and did not follow Mrs. Ashford's order. He always felt that what Richard said was not simple.
It seemed that Alexander also heard some clues from these words.
Perhaps many years ago, his grandpa's sudden illness and death, his parents' car accident, and the deaths of his uncle, aunt, and cousins were not accidents but most likely man-made.
Was the woman he called grandma for 20 years not his real grandma?
