Chapter 252 Alexander Presents the Evidence
Ethan looked at Blake in confusion and asked in a calm voice, "Blake, what have you done? Did you hurt Lillian?"
Blake ignored Ethan, stubbornly stiffened his neck, and with a face full of defiance, said to Justin, "Grandpa, I know. You're unhappy because I took the position of the eldest grandson! My mom and this family have always looked down on me because my mom is a mistress. That's why I can't get fair treatment, right?"
Alexander said, "Blake, these are the family rules. Beatrice chose this path herself, so no one else is to blame!"
"Stop blaming my mom!" Blake shouted, pointing at him. "Are you feeling smug? Alexander, you're insidious!"
Alexander's eyes shot out coldly. He said, "Blake, you did something wrong. You should be punished."
Being ignored, Ethan angrily slapped the sofa's armrest and roared. He shouted, "Both of you, shut up!"
He pointed at Blake angrily and said, "Tell me. What have you done!"
"Honey, what could Blake do? Does he even have the intelligence for that? He's been very obedient lately," Beatrice stubbornly said, refusing to admit anything.
Her words were undoubtedly an attempt to exonerate Blake. However, Blake didn't appreciate it; Beatrice's words pierced his sensitive heart.
"Yes, I'm stupid and irrational! Is that what you want to hear? Are you all satisfied now?"Blake suddenly stood up, his eyes red and glaring at everyone, and shouted hoarsely. "Since I was a child, you've always compared me to Alexander, saying I'm less talented, not as smart, and not as good as him! Yes, that's exactly how I am. So what? What does it matter to you? Justin doesn't acknowledge me, while Alexander looks down on me, and I'm a nuisance in this family!"
"Blake!" Beatrice stood up, hurriedly covering his mouth, and cried. "Stop talking about it. We don't need their acknowledgment, and we'll live on our own."
She wrapped her arms around Blake's neck and whispered, "Think of the bigger picture."
"Who are you throwing a tantrum at in front of your elders?" Ethan instantly stood up, angrily saying. "Kneel. Justin hasn't told you to get up yet!"
He then said to Alexander, "Alexander, tell me. What has he done!"
Alexander stated the facts, telling Ethan about Blake hiring someone to assassinate Oscar, going to the hospital to remove Oscar's oxygen mask, bribing Cynthia at Sinclair Villa to push Lillian, and causing Cynthia's death.
"Dad, Blake did all this to hurt Lillian's closest people. His intention couldn't be clearer. He wanted Lillian to be so grief-stricken that she would miscarry!" Alexander concluded.
Linda and Samantha looked at each other in shock, unable to believe that he had done so many things behind their backs.
Due to the previous incident in Aetherland, Ethan was only slightly stunned upon hearing this and quickly regained his composure. It wasn't surprising anymore. If he could kill his father and brother, what else couldn't he do?
"Blake." Ethan sneered, giving him a thumbs up sarcastically. "When it comes to being ruthless, no one in our family can compare to you!"
"Honey, do you believe everything they say?" Beatrice shouted. "It's not like that. Blake didn't do those things!"
Beatrice constantly emphasizing that Blake hadn't done those things.
"Beatrice, take a look at this." Alexander cast the screen, and their conversation from earlier in the day played out clearly.
"What does this prove?" Blake asked. "Do you think I don't know? Voices can be edited. You're so insidious. What can't you do?"
Alexander calmly said, "The oxygen mask you removed at the hospital has your fingerprints on it. We've already extracted them. That's physical evidence. Of course, we also have witnesses; my subordinates caught the hitman you hired. And he confessed everything. The maid also came to report you for bribing Cynthia. We have audio and video recordings."
He exhaled and said, "Blake, you should be clear about what I'm saying. Do you still need to see it?"
Blake stood there in a daze, chaotic thoughts flashing through his mind. 'The hospital's oxygen mask, the maid's report, and even the hitman being caught? Alexander, you're something! From the beginning, you anticipated that I would make a move to the hospital, right? The maid was also your person, right? You went along with it, didn't you? I have to admit that you're cunning, thinking so far ahead!'
Beatrice saw Blake not speaking and felt guilty, but she still didn't give up. She continued, "Your words are not enough. Show the evidence!"
Alexander sneered and called Melvin to bring the evidence and witnesses for a face-to-face confrontation.
"Beatrice, we didn't call the police primarily to protect the Sinclair family's reputation. We can't air our dirty laundry; Besides, out of respect for Dad, we won't call the police. Let's handle this ourselves," Alexander said.
Faced with the witnesses and evidence, the two of them were no longer stubborn and had nothing left to say.
"How do you plan to handle us? Do you want to kill us in secret?" Beatrice sneered, looking at Ethan, sarcastically asking. "You won't protect us either, will you?"
Ethan was furious, pointing at them in speechless anger.
After a long silence, Justin finally spoke, cold and firm, "From now on, you have no ties to the Sinclair family. Leave Ridgewood and don't come back. Blake is no longer a member of the Sinclair family. Issue a public statement. All company shares will be reclaimed!" With that, he got up and left.
Beatrice and Blake stood there in a daze, muttering, "Everything is gone."
Linda walked up to Beatrice, looked at her reproachfully, and angrily asked, "What did the Sinclair family ever do to you to deserve this? Didn't you know Blake is your son? Why didn't you stop him? You harmed Lillian. Did you want the Sinclair family to have no descendants? What were you thinking?"
With that, she looked at Blake and angrily hit him on the head twice. She shouted, "You ungrateful wretch, did you forget all the times I was good to you!"
Blake, still immersed in the feeling that everything was gone, was indifferent to Linda's hits.
Samantha stopped Linda, saying, "Mom, don't be angry. Let's go."
Ethan looked at Beatrice with a heart full of pain, never expecting that the Beatrice he had loved and pampered would turn out to be like this. Anyway, Blake was so ruthless.
"Ethan!" Beatrice, seeing him ignoring her and about to leave, tightly hugged him from behind, crying. "Ethan, listen to my explanation."
Ethan pulled her hands away and said sternly, "In front of Alexander and Blake, watch your behavior. We have nothing more to say. Let's part on good terms. I'm not a heartless person, and I'll make sure you're taken care of."
