Chapter 278: The Former Police Chief
Everyone looked at Alexander in astonishment, especially Hailey, the old butler, and Fiona, who were filled with anxiety.
Wasn't the old murder case already closed? Why would Alexander want to reopen it?
This was explosive news, and the media quickly seized the opportunity, aiming their cameras at Alexander.
The former police chief patiently said, "Alexander, your grandfather and parents have been dead for twenty years, and the case has long been closed. It was clearly an accident at the time. Why bring this up now after so many years?"
Alexander Foster sneered, "Don't think I don't know that you and the killer are in cahoots. And don't think that just because you retired and the killer has gotten older, I will give up on reopening the case!"
"You, you, what nonsense are you talking about? This has nothing to do with me..." The former police chief turned pale with fright and tried to escape on the spot.
Annabel, dressed in a bodyguard uniform, blocked his way and said in a cold voice, "If you have nothing to hide, then listen to everything before leaving!"
At the same time, Blake and the other eight bodyguards stood in front of the former police chief, forming a solid wall.
The police chief knew he couldn't escape, so he had no choice but to stay. He believed that things couldn't be as bad as they seemed.
The police captain knew that things were not simple and quickly said, "Mr. Ashford, please say what you need to say!"
Facing all the cameras, Alexander's face turned cold as he said, "Twenty years ago, my great-grandmother Annabel was framed and pushed off a cliff. Half a month later, my grandfather Beckett was poisoned and killed.
A few days later, my father Jaxon, mother Calliope, uncle Evander, Aunt Lyra, and my twin siblings Jovan and Maelle all died in a car accident on the same day.
And this car accident was no accident at all. The person responsible not only harmed my great-grandmother, my father, my mother, my uncle, my aunt, and my twin siblings, but also my great-grandmother's grandmother, my great-grandmother's parents, and the eyewitness who saw my great-grandmother being pushed off the cliff!
Why is it that this person, after killing so many people from the Ashford family, can still evade justice for twenty years?
Because her friend is the former police chief and also because she looks exactly like my great-grandmother Annabel. After killing, she assumed the identity of my great-grandmother Annabel and entered the Ashford family!"
At this point, Alexander pointed at Fiona and said, "She is the killer, Fiona, the older twin sister of Annabel!"
Everyone was incredibly astonished, and all the cameras turned towards Fiona.
Leo was both shocked and surprised. He had never imagined that his own grandmother could be such a terrifying person.
From childhood to adulthood, no matter what conflicts he had with his cousin Alexander, his grandmother would always favor him. He had always believed that his grandmother would protect him, but now he realized...
The reason for doing this is because he is a direct relative to his grandmother than Alexander.
Now he knows the real reason, and this reason is truly causing him panic and confusion.
At this moment, Fiona remained calm and waved dismissively, "It's not true. Don't listen to this little rascal's nonsense! I am Annabel, and it was my sister Fiona who fell off the cliff and died. The former police chief has already investigated and cleared up this matter. If you don't believe it, go ask him!"
The former police chief quickly stepped forward to testify, "What she said is correct. The person who died twenty years ago was her sister Fiona.
At that time, Annabel's grandsons, Alexander, Jovan, and granddaughter Maelle all suffered from a rare skin disease. Only a type of flower on the cliff could cure it. Annabel had martial arts skills, so she went to the cliff with her butler and servants.
After picking the flower, her sister Fiona came to harass her and demanded money.
Before this, Fiona had already harassed Annabel numerous times. Annabel was a kind person who helped her sister overcome difficulties time and time again, but she was continuously extorted.
That day at the cliff, Fiona insulted, provoked, and assaulted Annabel. Annabel became angry and kicked her sister.
As many may already know, Annabel has been practicing martial arts since she was young and possesses outstanding skills. Therefore, her kick directly caused Fiona to fall off the cliff.
Afterwards, she voluntarily turned herself in to the police station. We investigated and discovered the truth of the matter, concluding that Annabel acted in self-defense, so the case was quickly closed.
Regarding Beckett's death, I personally handled the case. I conducted a thorough investigation and found that Beckett died from food poisoning. He was fond of eating wild game and on the day of his death, he ate some wild mushrooms he had picked from the mountains, which led to his poisoning and subsequent death.
As for the deaths of his son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren, it was purely an accident. That day, Jaxon took his family out for an outing, and due to his own fatigue, he caused a car accident. The car crashed into a tree and exploded, with no connection to anyone else."
