The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!

As Gregory Xander spoke, the scene suddenly fell eerily silent. Even the elderly woman who had been cursing and throwing a tantrum moments ago froze in shock, a flash of panic flitting across her face before she quickly regained composure and shrieked,

"What nonsense is this boy spewing?! How could I have killed my own granddaughter?!"

Saying this, she prepared to start ranting again,

"Something happened to my granddaughter! I’ve suffered so much, and now someone is trying to falsely accuse me! Where’s the justice in this world?!"

She then grabbed the arm of a nearby police officer, "Quick, arrest this bastard! He’s slandering me with lies! I’ll never forgive him!"

Despite the elderly woman’s loud and aggressive shouting, it didn’t cause Gregory Xander to back down in the slightest. He continued to look straight at her.

Behind him, the woman seemed to come to a realization, staring blankly at her mother-in-law,

"Is what he said true? Did you kill my child?"

Upon hearing this, the elderly woman began yelling again, "You believe whatever people say?! Are you brainless?!"

But Gregory Xander replied,

"You know the truth best in your heart; you’ve been tainted with guilt, and that guilt stems from your own blood relatives..."

"Nonsense!!"

Before Gregory Xander could finish, the elderly woman angrily spat at him.

Ariel Zimmerman, who had been silently watching from the side, quickly stepped in and pulled them apart, preventing the spit from hitting him directly, yet even so, Gregory Xander’s face turned visibly dark.

The viewers in the livestream room were so engrossed in the drama unfolding that they forgot to send comments, merely feeling that today’s twist was quite thrilling.

Although some doubted the authenticity of Gregory Xander’s words, most still believed him.

After all, everyone had witnessed Senior Brother Xander’s prowess during that encounter with Scarlett Jennings.

On the other side, the elderly woman’s tirade against Gregory Xander only generated more suspicion from the surrounding police officers and the child’s mother.

The most discerning was Officer Yuan, who was experienced in handling numerous criminal investigations. He could instantly detect the concealed guilt and panic beneath the elderly woman’s angry façade.

"What was the name of your first child? When did they die? I’ll have the records retrieved."

Upon hearing Officer Yuan’s words, the elderly woman’s face went deathly pale.

The child’s mother, emerging from her initial chaos, immediately looked at the elderly woman with reddened eyes,

"Did you really kill my child?! You killed Ellie?! You were the one who took her to the lakeside to play! And you claimed she accidentally fell into the water?!"

The woman’s hysterical screams were unsettling, and the elderly woman was caught off guard, allowing herself to be grabbed by the woman’s clothes, her earlier arrogance instantly dissipating into visible panic.

The livestream room exploded again, with commenters unanimously criticizing the elderly woman’s inhumanity.

It took some effort for the police officers on site to separate them, after which the elderly woman recovered from her initial panic and began to wail pathetically,

"You’re all together trying to wrong this old woman!! Ellie is my biological granddaughter! How could I harm her?!"

Crying, she turned to the woman,

"I know I failed to protect Ellie, and you’ve resented me ever since. Haven’t you been blaming me?! So after you had a second child, you’ve been guarding against me! You’ve decided in your heart that I murdered your child?! Accusing me without evidence, you’re going to drive me to my grave!!"

"There’s evidence."

Gregory Xander suddenly spoke up, his face serious as he looked at the elderly woman, then turned to the child’s mother,

"Give me the birthdates of her and your child, and I can help you ascertain the true cause of your daughter’s death." freēwēbnovel.com

Upon hearing this, the woman almost instinctively gave herself and her eldest daughter’s birth dates. Despite worrying for her second daughter, she couldn’t let go of her first child.

Although six years had passed, she remembered her child’s birthdate with absolute clarity.

Gregory Xander quickly began calculating the information, spending several minutes in concentration, during which nobody disturbed him.

They all wanted to know whether what he said was true or not.

When Gregory Xander finally finished his calculations, his expression wasn’t pleasant; even his gaze at the elderly woman was filled with disgust.

He addressed the child’s mother,

"Your eldest daughter indeed died from drowning, but it was deliberate. Moreover... your youngest daughter was kidnapped by traffickers, and it was orchestrated by her."

Gregory Xander’s last statement caused another uproar among everyone present.

"What?!"

The child’s mother stared incredulously at the elderly woman, eyes suddenly poisoned,

"You arranged for traffickers to kidnap my child?! Where have you told them to take my child?! Answer me!!"

The woman’s voice was sharp. Her gaze at the elderly woman no longer held any of her previous grievances or self-blame; she was consumed by hatred.

Hearing this, Officer Yuan also took the matter seriously; how could a layperson be so familiar with traffickers’ tricks and methods?

As he was about to order the elderly woman to be taken in for questioning, a police officer suddenly received a call and hurried over to report,

"Captain, the neighboring precinct just called. They found the van, but the people inside disappeared; it’s suspected they’ve switched vehicles and fled."

Upon hearing this, the child’s mother went black with despair, fainting on the spot.

Seeing this, Officer Yuan wasted no time, directing, "First, take her in for questioning; I’ll head to the scene myself..."

The police officers in the hall immediately sprang into action, some attending to the unconscious mother, others escorting the elderly woman. Just as Officer Yuan was preparing to leave, a clear female voice suddenly shouted,

"The child has been found!!"

Everyone turned towards the voice, only to see Ariel Zimmerman, who had been standing next to Gregory Xander, call out.

They recognized her as a celebrity.

But...

Does she know how to divine?

Ariel Zimmerman, looking excited, pointed at her phone,

"Just now the director said, Scarlett Jennings’s team captured a group of traffickers, and there’s a child in their vehicle! Quickly check if it’s your child?"

Ariel Zimmerman spoke while showing the freshly awakened child’s mother the photo from the livestream of the child captured by Scarlett Jennings’s audience.

Although the police had previously circulated the child’s photo via the livestream, she was cautious about misidentifying.

Upon opening her eyes and seeing the clearly slumbering child in the phone, tears instantly cascaded down the mother’s face,

"That’s my child... that’s my Peace, where is she? Where is my child?"

The child’s mother asked frantically, and Ariel Zimmerman could only reassure her,

"Don’t worry, the child is unharmed, and patrol officers should soon escort her back."

Meanwhile, Officer Yuan received a message from the patrol team, reporting that they had apprehended a group of traffickers, and the people were now under control, requesting backup.

Officer Yuan hadn’t expected things to proceed so smoothly; he hurriedly organized a team to provide assistance and asked for an explanation of the situation.

Similarly, Ariel Zimmerman was curious about the unfolding events.

Wasn’t Scarlett Jennings with the patrol team? How did they coincidentally catch the traffickers who abducted the young girl?

The people who had been watching Scarlett Jennings’s livestream had quite a bit to say about this.
