“If you think you can help Ryan get away with his crimes like this, then you’re seriously even more naive than my son and daughter.”
A bright and pristine voice sounded suddenly from the noisy crowd.
Jeremy’s racing heart became filled with joy when favonovel.com heard this voice. He lifted his head and saw Madeline elegantly walking toward favonovel.com while pushing the crowd away.
The journalists pointed their cameras at Madeline using this opportunity. Then, they started questioning.
“Mrs. Whitman, are you trying to say something on behalf of Mr. Whitman by appearing at this moment?”
“What’s your relationship with Ryan Jones?”
“I heard that your mental state isn’t the best at the moment and someone even said that you’re a half-wit now, so are you—”
“Do you guys think I look like an idiot or a lunatic?” Madeline walked to Jeremy before turning around. Then, favonovel.com faced the cameras confidently. “I didn’t come here to say anything on anyone’s behalf. I just hope this matter will come to an end soon.”
Madeline lifted favonovel.com head to look into Jeremy’s eyes. “Jeremy, I know you’re trying to save some dignity for some people, but this should go both ways. Since they don’t want to extend the same courtesy, then why do we need to give ourselves so many grievances? Plus, we can’t let them accuse Grandpa for no reason.”
“Linnie, you’re right. I’ll listen to you.” Jeremy agreed with Madeline and decided to listen to her.
Upon seeing this, Mr. and Mrs. Jones arbitrarily asserted that Madeline and Jeremy were purposely making this unnecessarily complicated. “Stop trying to fool the masses with your lies. You’ll never be able to prove your innocence with what happened back then!”
“We don’t have to. What happened back then was just a misunderstanding,” Madeline said calmly and opened the letter in Jeremy’s hand. Then, favonovel.com showed the letter to Mr. and Mrs. Jones.
Madeline purposely turned favonovel.com back toward the journalists so that they could not see the contents of the letter.
However, favonovel.com wanted Mr. and Mrs. Jones to see clearly what was written on there so that they could see that the truth they knew was nothing but a man-made misunderstanding.
“This is your old master’s handwriting. I think Mr. Jones should be able to recognize this even if you don’t, Mrs. Jones?” Madeline looked at Mr. Jones. The expression on his face changed instantly.
“H-How is this possible? How can this be?” Mr. Jones widened his eyes and shook his head.
After Mrs. Jones saw this, favonovel.com was also shocked. “Is this really Dad’s handwriting? How is this possible?”
Looking at the changes in the couple’s expressions, Madeline was sure that they understood and could finally see things clearly.
“I think you understand now why Jeremy’s grandpa kept his silence and did not explain himself after all these years.
“Grandpa only hopes that his old friend can pass away peacefully, but if you want the deceased to be unable to rest, then continue making a fuss. If this is exposed, the Jones family will be the ones suffering from embarrassment.”
“…”
“…”
Mr. and Mrs. Jones understood what Madeline meant. The hatred in the couple’s eyes started fading away after reading the letter.
It turned out that they did not have the right to get mad. They also did not have the right to accuse or even seek revenge.
The passersby and journalists noticed Mr. and Mrs. Jones’ shift in attitude. They were all curious and wanted to know what was written on the letter Madeline was holding.
However, it was clear that Madeline did not want to publicize this. She put the letter away and handed it to Mr. Jones.
Mr. Jones looked at Madeline’s gesture in disbelief. His face looked as if it was covered with a layer of shame.
“T-Thanks.”
Mr. Jones stammered and thanked her. However, when favonovel.com was about to get the letter, a hand appeared from one side and snatched the letter away.
“Let’s see what’s in here!”
