Chapter 108 Julia’s Tomb

There was also a black–and–white photo on

the tombstone. The girl in the picture was

smiling like a flower at the most brilliant and beautiful age. She was breathtaking

ly beautiful, but it was only frozen in this black–and–white photo.

“I’m sorry.” Betty was still immersed in the tomb in front of her. Before she

could react,

Kerwin said in a low voice, “I brought you here without

permission. You won’t be angry, right?”

Betty was stunned for a moment before quickly shaking her head.

Of

course, she would not be unhappy. On the contrary, she was actually a little hap

py.

Since she heard Jessica telling her about the kidnapping case back then, she h This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

ad always wanted to ask Kerwin about it.

But after all, it was his privacy, and it was such a painful past. Betty really couldn

’t ask it.

However, she didn‘t think Kerwin would take the initiative to mention it. Did this

mean that Kerwin was willing to open his heart to her?

At this time, Kerwin was holding Betty’s little hand. The warmth of her palm touc

hed his own. Kerwin‘s eyes flickered when he looked at the tomb. “I think you sh

ould know her identity, right?”

Betty hesitated for a moment but still nodded. “I know a little.‘

“Then I believe you must have heard a lot of rumors about the kidnapping case.”

Kerwin‘s expression was still indifferent, and his tone was emotionless. “They s

aid I abandoned her and begged for my life alone?”

Betty suddenly became nervous. She didn‘t know what to say.

However, compared to her confusion, Kerwin was very calm. He smiled slightly

and said, “You don‘t have to be nervous. Just tell me the truth.”

“Someone did indeed tell me that.” After

much hesitation, Betty still spoke the truth but

quickly added, “But I don’t believe it.”

Kerwin’s unfathomable eyes faintly flickered. “Why don’t you believe it?”

“Because I don’t think you would abandon

someone else. Furthermore, that person is your girlfriend,”

Betty said softly. However, she still looked at Kerwin with uncertainty,

“Am I right?”

Kerwin did not directly answer Betty’s question. He looked at the tomb and

muttered to himself, “Will I abandon others? In fact, even I… don’t know…”

Betty was stunned.

Don’t know?

What did it mean to don’t know?

Kerwin did not continue this topic, only continuing, “Julia and I can

be considered childhood sweethearts. She is the daughter of the Davis family. O

ur families have been friends for generations.”

Betty was stunned.

So Julia was actually a daughter of the Davis family?

The three prominent families in Chicago

were the Davis family, Jason’s Thomas family, and Kerwin’s Martin family. They

were all famous families that had been accumulated for generations.

Sure enough, this Julia was a hundred percent fair–skinned, wealthy, beautiful

lady.

Betty let out a bitter laugh. For some reason, she felt a bit upset in her heart.

Compared with such an excellent girl, she was really like a weed.

She suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and asked, “And then?”

“I originally thought we would

get engaged very quickly after growing up, just like the most ordinary man and

woman.” Kerwin is said in a low voice, “But I never expected that

in the kidnapping ten years ago, she and I were taken away.

All of this had been mentioned by Jessica,

but what happened after the kidnapping was the most important thing.

“‘The kidnappers locked us in a warehouse. After getting the ransom, they didn‘t

let

us go. Instead, they directly tied us up, injected knockout drugs in us, and then li

t a fire in the warehouse.”

When Kerwin said this, his tone was still calm, but

Betty could hear the hidden anger and killing intent.

“Knockout drugs?” Betty was stunned. She did not hear Jessica say anything ab

out this part. “So you guys saw the kidnappers‘ appearances, so they killed you

to silence you?”

“No.” Kerwin frowned slightly. “The kidnappers wore masks and gloves from beg

inning to end. There should be no evidence left at the scene.”

This time, Betty couldn’t help but be stunned.

She and Jessica had guessed that Kerwin and others had

seen the kidnappers‘ appearance.

The kidnappers were afraid of being identified, so they burned them.

But now she heard from Kerwin that there was no need to kill them.

It should be noted that kidnapping and

murder cases were two completely different things. Those kidnappers should ha

ve gone abroad as soon as they got a large sum of

money. Why did they kill people to keep them quiet?

“Then why did they kill you all?” Betty

couldn’t help but ask the doubt in her heart.

Kerwin’s eyes flickered as though he knew something. However, he did

not reply and continued, “I’ve been injected with a

knockout drug. At first, I fainted. Later on, I

was awakened by the smell of smoke from the fire.”

Chapter 108 Julia’s Tomb

Betty was stunned.

Why was this storyline’s development so similar to her fire?

But she didn’t overthink it because she knew

Kerwin was at the critical point now. She just picked up her ears and listened ca

refully.

How did Kerwin manage to escape after waking up? Did he abandon his girlfrie

nd Julia or not?

Kerwin looked at the tomb in front of him and slowly continued.

“When I woke up, I discovered that the rope on my hands had been untied. Not

only that, but the Julia beside me had also disappeared.”

Betty was stunned.

She

wondered how Kerwin managed to break free of the rope that bound them. She

never imagined that Kerwin would actually tell her that the rope was untied itself

.

Also, why did Julia disappear?

Betty did not expect such an answer at all. She could

not help but ask, “Are you sure?”

Kerwin then shot a sidelong glance at Betty. “You don‘t believe me either?”

“I don‘t mean I don‘t believe you,” Betty hurriedly said. It was just that

all of this was too strange. Moreover, she noticed that Kerwin had used

the word ‘either.‘ After hesitating, she asked, “So others don‘t believe you?”

“That‘s right.” Kerwin slowly lowered his eyes. “After I left the fire scene, I told ev

eryone what happened to me. No one believed me. The policemen said I lied, b

ut whether I lied or not, I didn‘t commit any crime. So in the end, they could only

stop investigating.”

Betty was stunned.

She did not expect that the “truth”

that she had wanted to ask but did not dare to ask would be like this.

But in any case, she believed in Kerwin and

thought he would not abandon his girlfriend. So she could only rack her brains t

o find a reasonable explanation. “If you remember correctly, could it be that Julia

left first at that time or was taken away by someone else?
