Bernard was such a troublesome stepbrother, but Chad had no way to get rid of him.

Chad put on a serious expression and said, "I'll investigate this matter thoroughly. If it really is Bernard's fault, I'll ensure that he repays you for his sins."

Anthony wiped his tears and said, "I don't need his repayment. Queenie sacrificed so much for the Killian family, so I just want him to prove her innocence! He can't stain Queenie's legacy by branding her as a murderer!"

Chad's sharp eyebrows furrowed slightly as his expression darkened. "Everything happens for a reason. Surely, Queenie's end shouldn't be a surprise to you."

Anthony almost choked, his lips flapping like he wanted to say more. However, he sensed that Chad's patience was at its limit. Anthony did not want to anger Chad and walk away with nothing, so he could only clench his fists and fight back his stubbornness.

"Chad, please bring justice to Queenie."

"I will get back to you on this after New Year's," Chad replied and waved his hand, dismissing Anthony.
