Chapter 316 He Comes Prepared

“Scented candle?” Silvia muttered under her breath.

Silvia furrowed her brows slightly, but at the same time, she understood something. She thought, so, the problem is with the scented candle?

“Yes, I made it for my grandfather. He has been suffering from insomnia recently and hasn’t been sleeping well, so I made the scented candle to calm his mind. What’s wrong with it?” Silvia asked calmly.

“What’s wrong? You still dare to ask?” Gordon sneered from the side. He then added, “Calm his mind? You’re sending your grandfather to the road of eternal peace!”

“You mean there is something wrong with the scented candle?” Silvia asked.

Rather than beating around the bush, it was better to be straightforward. If there was anything to say, just say it. Don’t expect Silvia to admit some unwarranted charges.

“Don’t you know if there is a problem with the scented candle?” Gordon’s words were full of heavy

sarcasm.

Silvia looked over. None of the elders present spoke. In fact, she could see very clearly that some of them tacitly agreed with what Gordon had said and felt that there was indeed something wrong with her scented candle. They thought it was the intense she made that caused Mare’s death. Some of them kept a neutral attitude, watching the show.

Silvia knew it would be difficult to count on these elders to help her.

But most importantly, Zain did not speak. He just silently stood there, his expression indifferent, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with him.

It seemed that Silvia could only rely on herself in the end.

“Yes, I know very well whether there are any problems with the scented candle. At least I am sure it was no problem when I made it. As for whether there are any problems after I send it here, I am not. very sure,” Silvia said with a sneer.

It was uncertain if it was the scented candle that caused Marc’s death. Even if there was a problem with the scented candle, it did not mean that it was Silvia who did it!

There were so many people coming and going in and out of the Austin’s home. Those who served Marc were also suspicious. Moreover, it was possible that some people might sneak in and do some evil things.

However, they didn’t take her words seriously.

“Humph, you have a glib tongue. You really know how to evade it!” After a pause, Gordon

continued, “That’s right. There are indeed people serving your grandfather. It’s Bob Wales. He had been serving the Austin family for so many years. His time in the Austin family is even longer than your age. Do you want to say that it was Bob who did this?

“By the way, I heard that scented candle was taken back from you by Zain, right? Or do you mean that it wasn’t you or Bob, but…”

Turning sideways, Gordon landed his gaze on Zain, who was standing there. Gordon coldly smiled. He did not say anything, but everyone knew what he wanted to say.

Silvia was stunned.

In an instant, she understood why Zain did not make a sound and why those people accused her.

If she refused to admit it, then Bob or Zain would be accused. In other words, even Zain himself

could not escape.

But it was simply absurd!

“Humph…” Silvia sneered again.

This abrupt sneer shocked everyone present.

They were all mourning Marc’s death, but Silvia was actually laughing. They thought Silvia was presumptuous and did not show respect to the deceased and the elders.

Konnor’s face darkened. He said in a sullen tone, “Silvia! Don’t be too presumptuous in front of your grandfather! How can you still laugh? How can you do that to your deceased grandfather? He

raised you.”

“Konnor, you played an absurd drama at my grandfather’s funeral. How can I not laugh? If my grandfather were alive, he would also laugh. He had just passed away, and some people can’t wait to stir up trouble.”

“What do you mean?” Gordon glared at her.

“You know what I meant! Gordon! I respect you as my elder and call you uncle, but don’t go too far!

“Who among the elders here doesn’t know that you have been kicked out of the Austin family by my grandfather for many years? Everyone didn’t mention it because they didn’t want to embarrass you. Do you really think that we don’t remember it? You came back to mourn for my grandfather. It’s

reasonable, and we don’t object, but if you want to take the opportunity to stir up trouble, I’m sorry. Please get out of here!”

Silvia pointed at the door and scolded Gordon rudely.

Gordon opened his eyes wide and looked at Silvia, who had just reached his shoulder but held her head high. He was shocked.

“What a joke! My surname is Austin, and I am a member of the Austin family. You are an outsider. What right do you have to ask me out of here? Silvia, when your grandfather was alive, he adopted. you because he pitied you after you lost your parents and had no one to rely on. He raised you in the Austin family. Don’t forget that you are not a true member of the Austin family!”

“Gordon, what era are you in? Why are you still talking about those outdated theories here? In this world, whether one is close to someone has nothing to do with blood. We would never know what one was thinking!” Silvia said. She turned to look at Zain and curled her lips into a faint smile. “You said that I tampered with the scented candle. Okay, what’s your evidence?”

Reaching out to Gordon, Silvia continued, “It is a legal society now. You need to provide evidence before you accuse someone. If you feel that there is something wrong with the scented candle, please take out the test report and prove me guilty. Also, even if it is murder, there should be a motive. Why should I do this?”

How could they say she was guilty without providing any evidence?

“I knew you would say that!” Gordon was not surprised when he heard her question. Instead, he looked calm as if Silvia had fallen into his trap.

He clapped his hands twice, and soon someone came forward to deliver a document to him. At the same time, there were many copies to be distributed to the elders.

Picking up the document, Gordon shook it in his hand. “Do you think that I would stand here and accuse you without evidence? I am your elder. How could I not know that I have to provide evidence? Open your eyes and take a good look at what this is!”

He threw the document into Silvia’s arms. Silvia caught it and looked down at the test report.

Gordon really used the scented candle to do a test. He acted fast. Obviously, he came prepared!

After a few glances, although there were a lot of professional terminologies, Silvia could still see the contents of the appraisal and the results. In conclusion, there was only one sentence, that was, there was a chronic poison in the scented candle. A small amount of inhalation would do no harm, but a long- term inhalation would be fatal.

“The elders all know that my father has not been in good health recently. Although I am abroad, I

father. am concerned about my dad. I have been looking for a famous doctor to treat my Unexpectedly, I am a step late,” Gordon said to the crowd with grief, “If my father is sick and can’t be saved, then I have nothing to say. I just hate myself for not being able to accompany him by his side in his last days. But if he is harmed by someone, I will definitely not let that person go, no

matter who he is!”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
