Chapter 1599
Meanwhile, Gable's smug voice was still playing. "She will be banishing Helen Lane and Frank Lawrence in a few days. At that point, I'll be the sole heir of the family, and you can ask for any compensation you like!"
"Go on. A toast-to the new head of the Lane family!" Sohil then cheered.
The clink of glasses could be heard, and soon Gable added, "Well, I'm not going to stay-I need to check in with the hag, though it's only a matter of time before Helen Lane and Frank Lawrence will be gone."
"And I will wait here for the good news," Sohil replied.
And with that, the recording ended.
Putting away the recorder, Frank leveled Fleur Lang a look of amusement, "Confession under torture, you say? 'The hag's already poisoned the old man'... Shouldn't you be explaining what Gable said in recording instead, Madam Lang?"
Frank's question left Fleur's lips pursed.
She stood stiffly, intent on defending herself but unable to manage a single word.
Frank then turned toward Yora. "Now, Madam Yimmel. Is Gable Lane's death still unjustified?"
Yora appeared troubled, though she soon appeared determined as she looked at Frank.
Holding out her hand, she said, "That recorder is important evidence. Give it to me I'll talk to the old-timer myself."
Frank suspected nothing and passed it to her, only for Yora to suddenly smirk as she suddenly flung the recorder on the floor and stamped it into pieces!
"What...?!"
Everyone was dumbstruck even as they looked on—even Frank was caught off guard!
"What are you doing, Madam Yimmel?!"
Gina was shocked but quickly threw herself on the floor to pick up the pieces.
However, there was no saving the device, and Frank's evidence was effectively destroyed.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Frank glowered at Yora in turn. "What's the meaning of this?"
Yora dropped all pretenses right then, her expression impassive even as she spoke calmly, "Helen Lane has no right to be the head of the
family. I said so, and no one gets to argue against that. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Yora simply shrugged. "That's my business. I don't need to tell you what to do."
Nearby, Jade Zahn finally understood that Fleur and her ilk were the ones who had her daughter killed.
And now, Yora was going to protect them?!
"I-I'll kill you all!" she bellowed as she lunged at Fleur.
Fleur quickly leapt aside, while Mr. Noon-who had been standing beside Yora all this while-moved and kicked Jade squarely in the stomach. Jade was sent tumbling to the floor, clutching her stomach.
She coughed a mouthful of blood and soon collapsed, unconscious.
Helen felt a chill running down her spine even as she looked on.
After all, it was clear that Yora was dead set on protecting Fleur.
"T-This is an outrage!" Gina cried even as she tried to pick up the
pieces of the recorder. "Destroying
