The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 501 Grace's Brother

As Natalie spoke, her voice carried such a biting coldness that Yvonne felt an invisible hand tightening around her throat, silencing her completely.

"If you can't do as I wished, Yvonne, you'd better inform me early and just leave."

Natalie's voice, cold as ice, echoed in Yvonne's ears again. It took her a moment before she could muster the strength to speak.

"I understand, Ms. Walker. I'll make sure it's done right."

The moment Yvonne finished speaking, Natalie ended the call.

Grace was surrounded by police officers in the ward, ceaselessly firing questions at her.

"Mrs. Langley Senior, do you have a brother named Kenton Langley? Records show he wasn't listed under your household and didn't grow up with you. Can you tell us where is he now?"

"Mrs. Langley Senior, did you have Kenton take Selena away to be sold? Do you acknowledge this or deny it?"

"Grace Langley, you used Langley Group to conceal illegal activities at Kenton's hospital, including infant trafficking. Do you confess or deny it?"

"I deny it." Grace met the officers' gaze with a calm demeanor. "I have no idea who Kenton is, and I never arranged for Selena to be sold. She was taken by a nurse at the hospital-this has nothing to do with me.

"If you're going to interrogate me without proof, I hope you're ready for a lawsuit."

"You're denying Kenton's crimes, but don't tell me you have no idea who Julie Lombard is," the officer said as he stared at Grace. "Five minutes ago, Julie reported to the police department and handed over a DNA test confirming your connection to Kenton.

"The DNA test confirms that you and Kenton are indeed siblings, but he's nowhere to be found. And his hospital? It was the infamous Serenity Health Hospital in Amberton.

"A fire broke out at the hospital five years ago, killing five people, one of whom was identified as the hospital director, Kenton Langley. But according to Julie, he didn't actually die. He disappeared after the incident."

After a quick pause, the officer asked, "Grace Langley, were you responsible for the fire at Serenity Health Hospital five years ago?"

she let out a sarcastic chuckle. "You're questioning me without even completing your investigation? Here's my answer-I don't know
