"You're worried that they will slander me." I clenched my fists, took a deep breath, and tried to control my emotions.
Those people were worried that grandfather asked me to come back to divide inheritance. If I couldn't get my inheritance, they could get more. Naturally, they wanted to slander me.
"Those elders will be on my uncle's side and target at you. As for my aunt, she also hates you so much. That is to say, you have become a target for all."
"I know." I knew exactly what Ryan meant.
They wanted to gang up against me.
However, even if it was like this, I was not afraid.
"In short, you have to be careful later. No matter what, my father and I will stand by your side. Grandpa told us to protect you before he died."
Ryan looked at me and said in a deep voice.
"Thank you."
It was very rare to be treated tenderly in such a big and dark family. Ryan's words encouraged me.
I held Ashe's hand and followed behind Ryan. Then I walked into grandpa's bedroom.
There were doctors beside grandpa's bed. Those elders and my uncles were sitting aside. When they saw me coming in, they all looked at me with critical eyes. Ignoring those malicious eyes, I walked directly to grandpa's bed. At least, from his appearance, he looked very serene.
"Will, call the police immediately." Looking at grandpa, tears kept running down my face. At this time, one of the elders suddenly got up and looked at me with sharp eyes.
Upon hearing this, I immediately wiped my tears and looked back at him.
"Why do you want to call the police?" My words made them sneer.
My uncle looked at me and said with sarcasm on his greasy face, "Of course because of you. I didn't expect that you are so vicious at such a young age. You could even kill your own grandfather. You and your mother are the same. Your mother eloped with Leonard, and you came back to kill your grandfather. Both of you are really awful."
"Did you think about it before you said these words?"
I looked at my uncle with a cold face and sneered.
"B*tch, how dare you talk to me like this!" My uncle was angry with my tone, and his face became extremely cold and horrible.
"You slander me first. Do you have the evidence to prove that I'm the murderer?"
I sneered at those people, but they didn't dare look at me.
"Anyway, it must be you. You're the most likely to kill your grandpa. Besides, even if he is dead, you're not qualified to inherit the property. Your mother was driven out of the Ye family, and she was no longer our family member. I know that the reason why you came back was to compete for the inheritance. Let me tell you, don't even think about it!"
My another uncle shouted at me.
Looking at their greedy and malicious faces, I felt cold in my heart.
So soon after grandpa's death, my uncles, aunt and those elders had already begun to compete for the inheritance. If they really got grandpa's inheritance, they would soon dissipate it.
"Mommy." Ashe was frightened by those elders, he grabbed my hand with fear.
Looking at Ashe, I gently touched his hair and whispered, "Don't be afraid."
"Catch Ashley and send her to the police station right now!"
My aunt looked at me and ordered the servants with disgust.
Then those servants walked to me and Ashe. I looked at their movements warily and felt so nervous.
They overwhelmed me with numerical strength. Even if I explained, they wouldn't believe me.
When I was thinking about how to get rid of this situation, a familiar and cold voice sounded at the door.
"Who dares hurt my wife?"
Edward?
I held Ashe in my arms and turned around, then I saw Edward who was at the door.
He was dressed in a black suit, and his handsome looked angry. His originally cold eyes were extremely horrible at the moment.
"Edward." When I saw Edward, I felt at ease and burst into tears.
Edward walked to me and held my waist with one hand, then he looked directly at my aunt with gloomy eyes.
Being looked at by Edward, my aunt was a little scared. She said arrogantly with her lips trembling, "How dare you look at me like that? This is the Ye family, and you'd better behave yourself."
"Who do you think you are? How dare you hurt my wife and child?" Edward's face darkened, and the atmosphere in the room became cold.
Everyone was scared by Edward's angry face. My uncles who were arrogant didn't dare speak anymore, and even the elder was silent.
"Paul, ask Lawyer Hong to come in."
Edward wrapped his arms around my waist and ordered Paul.
Lawyer Hong was the most famous lawyer in Beijing.
"I agree as well." Ryan and his father, who had been silent for a long time, agreed to dissect grandpa's body. Finally, even if my other uncles did not agree, they could do nothing about it.
The result of the dissection would come out in three days. We left the hospital and went straight back to the Ye family. "Sunny, a big and rich family is really horrible."
Edward was playing with Ashe, while I was chatting with Cornelia. Cornelia said to me discontentedly.
I was not surprised that Cornelia would say something like this, because she had seen how those people fought for the inheritance.
"You're right." I sneered.
The Ye family looked harmonious on the surface, but in fact, those family members were all selfish and scheming.
"Maybe your grandfather was really killed by them."
Cornelia looked at me and said in a low voice .
"If my grandfather was really killed by someone, no matter who it is, I will never let that person go."
I looked at Cornelia, clenched my fists and snorted.
Hearing this, Cornelia nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will stand on your side."
Three days later, the result of the dissection came out. Grandpa was indeed injected with a kind of deadly drug.
The result caused a stir in the Ye family. Among those people, Ryan's father was the most upstanding one. He immediately said that he would definitely find out the murderer.
However, those elders looked at me. I knew that they wanted to frame me for killing grandpa, but unfortunately, they had no evidence.
On the day of grandfather's funeral, a lot of people were present. The Huo family also came because they were Ye family's old friends.
It was the first time for me to face Lorraine.
When Lorraine came over, a lot of bodyguards in black followed her. She was also dressed in black and wore sunglasses. When she walked to my grandpa's portrait, she took off her sunglasses and I saw her beautiful face.
Lorraine took the joss stick handed over by the servant, inserted it into the burner, and stood beside me.
"Are you Scott's daughter?"
When I was quietly watching her, she took the initiative to ask me.
"Yes." I glanced at Lorraine and said.
