Chapter 516

“If you have something to say, don’t hesitate to say it, Sean.”

Her intuition told her that Brandon was keeping something from her, and Sean knew what it was.

Sean stuttered for a moment, unsure of how to answer. He glanced at Brandon in a silent plea for help, but Natalie immediately blocked his line of sight. “I asked you a question, Sean,” she prodded with a bright smile. “What happened?”

Seeing Sean get more agitated by the second, Brandon took pity on him. He pinched the bridge of his nose and said in a low voice, “I didn’t tell you, but Jorge committed suicide in prison.”

Natalie whipped around in shock and gaped at Brandon. “Didn’t you say that he was caught by the police?”

“The authorities called and told me. At the time, you were busy with the Iridescent Show, and you were happily moving forward, so I thought it best not to tell you. I also instructed Sean to never speak of it. I don’t want to upset you and ruin everything.” This time, it was Brandon who glanced at Sean through the rearview mirror.

“Yes, that’s right. I was under Mr. Larson’s orders, so I had no choice but to keep it from you.” Sean wiped the beads of cold sweat on his forehead and started the car. “Jorge was just fine before I left. Why did he suddenly take his own life?” It didn’t quite make sense to Natalie.

“He committed suicide by ingesting poison. Shortly before that, he confessed to his crimes and took all the blame. For now, the police haven’t found his accomplice.” Brandon had wanted to pursue the matter, but unfortunately, their trail ended with Jorge.

Natalie’s b*ody stiffened as she listened to his explanation. She looked at Brandon straight in the eye and asked, “Do you think someone f0rced Jorge to do all this and then commit suicide?”

Charis was dead. Who else would want to hurt Natalie so badly? Fear slowly crept in Natalie’s heart as she pondered this.

“Who do you think hates you the most right now?” Brandon asked slowly.

“The Turner family,” she blurted out without a second thought.

Brandon shook his head. “I already looked into them before I came to Northcliffe. Luke and Catherine have been doing better lately. They were even making plans to travel abroad.”

for what happened to Charis? Why the sudden change in outlook?” “They took in an adopted daughter to help them cope with their grief better. After all, at the end of the day, it’s not as if we pushed Charis off the building. The Turner family has no grounds to blame us or seek revenge. Maybe they finally saw reason and decided to move on with their lives.” Brandon’s eyes darkened as he added, “But I heard that this adopted daughter was no child. She seems to be around our age, and an orphan. I couldn’t get any other information on her for now.” “It’s annoying. I have to live a life full of fear again now, not knowing who wants to hurt me.” Natalie
