Chapter 482
At that moment, he merely looked like one of those useless husbands stuck between his mother and the wife.
“I didn’t do anything... I really didn’t do anything!” cried Mrs. Fraser weakly.
There was no way she was going to spill the truth in front of Lochlan. She couldn’t bear for him to hate her.
The little b***h was just too important to her son. If she admitted to everything now, that would mean that all her
suffering would have been in vain.
The current Mrs. Fraser no longer bore any resemblance to the dignified and graceful woman from earlier. Instead,
she looked completely disheveled while slumped on the floor.
“Ms. Berry, I know you are Charlotte’s teacher. However, from the moment my son brought her home, we’ve been
feeding her and clothing her. When she was sick, we brought her to the doctor. When she was in pain, we
comforted her. I don’t understand why you think I have anything to do with her disappearance just because I went
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto the mansion!” wailed Mrs. Fraser as tears ran down her face.
Though she was speaking to Ashlyn, her eyes never left Lochlan. “I might not like her, but at the end of the day, the
Fraser family has raised her for so many years. How could I possibly do anything to harm her?”
Mrs. Fraser then broke down even more, as if she had suffered a great wrong.
Lochlan couldn’t bear to see his mother like this, so he crouched down next to her and hugged her tightly.
“Mom, please don’t cry. We’ll find Lottie soon. I’m sure she’ll be okay.”
“I... I’m like every other mother. I don’t have any other wish other than to see my son get married and for my
daughter-in-law to give me a cute and healthy grandchild. All I wanted was for Charlotte to move back in with me
when my son gets a girlfriend. But she refused, so I scolded her a little. Was that really wrong of me? I swear I only
had our family’s best interest at heart!”
Mrs. Fraser was bawling so hard she could barely catch her breath at this point.
The sight brought tears to Mr. Fraser’s eyes too. “Ms. Berry, you’ve made quite the scene today. I can promise you
that us Frasers won’t take this lying down!”
Mrs. Fraser pushed Lochlan aside and ran up to Ashlyn. “Ms. Berry, if you still won’t believe me, then I’ll just have to
jump into the glass case.”
With that, she gathered all her strength and leaped into the case before anyone even had a chance to stop her.
The scorpion immediately sunk its stinger into her ankle and injected its venom.
Ashlyn’s eyes narrowed at the sight.
She hadn’t expected Mrs. Fraser to be that relentless.
However, she still refused to believe that things were as Mrs. Fraser claimed to be. If she really is innocent, then
where did the blood come from? Who did it come from?
“Mom!”
“Honey!”
The two Fraser men ran over and dragged Mrs. Fraser out of the glass case.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut it was already too late. The venom was already flowing through her and tainted, black blood was gushing out of
her wound.
Despite so, she still gathered her breath to confront Ashlyn. “Ms. Berry, do you believe me now?”
“You impress me, Mrs. Fraser.” Ashlyn waved her hand, and Anderson immediately walked up to the Frasers. He
handed Lochlan a vial and instructed, “This is the antidote. Drink it, and you’ll be cured within three days.”
“Mrs. Fraser, I’ll trust you for the time being. And I sincerely hope that you don’t disappoint me.” Ashlyn got up and
her gaze swept over the Frasers. “Since I didn’t manage to get anything useful out of you, and since you decided to
used such a ruthless manner to prove your innocence, I’ll gift you the A Block at Mossy Lake in return.”
With that, she threw a bunch of keys to Lochlan.
A whole building?
Just who is this woman?
Ashlyn curled her lips upwards but the smile didn’t reach her eyes. “If at any point I find out that Mrs. Fraser lied
today, not only will I take back the building, but I’ll also make sure the whole Fraser family pays dearly for it.”
