Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 261 Why Are You Stopping Me?

Ormus must have known the relationship between the two, so he just left.

Irene looked at Manuel. “Manuel, Ms. Easton seems to have some misunderstandings about me.”

“Manuel! She’s the reason why Nancy died. I have found the evidence.” Ainsley’s eyes were bright.

“Manuel, her evidence is nothing. It’s all nonsense. She’s framing me.” Irene’s eyes were burning

with anger.

Manuel stared at the two of them without saying a word. His hand slightly exerted force, but he did

not say anything.

Ainsley looked at him disappointedly and continued to say to Irene, “Irene, you were the one who pushed her off the building, weren’t you?”

“No.” Irene shrugged.

She once again whispered into Ainsley’s ear, “That day, she and I went up to the rooftop. We had a

deal, but she suddenly changed her mind. I couldn’t change her mind again, so I had to do it

myself.”

“It is… you.” Ainsley’s eyes widened and her lips parted.

“Why did you do this to her? Why are you so cruel?”

“Cruel?” Irene sneered. “It’s too early for you to say that.”

Then she turned to look at her assistant in the car who was urging her with his eyes. “But I don’t

have time for this nonsense.”

Irene turned around and was about to leave.

“Don’t go! You haven’t made it clear yet!” Ainsley frantically stopped Irene.

But the latter did not care at all and just waved at Ainsley and got in the car. Manuel stopped Ainsley.

If it was anyone else, she would not be so incredulous, but the person who stopped her was Manuel.

“Why?” Ainsley asked softly.

The car door was slammed shut, and the sound of the engine starting was particularly loud.

Ainsley stopped in her tracks, and there was no point in chasing after Irene now.

Ainsley’s eyes were red as she glared at Manuel and shouted, “Why? Didn’t you hear that? She is the

murderer! She is the one who killed Nancy. She pushed Nancy off the building. You heard everything!”

“She has already left.” Manuel’s arm was like an iron wall.

“Yes! She has already left. It’s all because of you. Why did you stop me? Manuel, why did you stop me?”

Ainsley could not believe that the person who stopped her at the last moment was Manuel.

“There is no evidence.” Manuel stared back at Ainsley.

“But I saw it. Have you ever seen someone die in front of you? Have you ever seen it? You would never

know how sad Nancy’s mom was. Nancy died only a few days ago, but you let Irene go. Manuel, why did

you do this? Did you come just to stop me?”

“Yes! I have seen it! I saw it with my own eyes.”

”

Ainsley immediately cast her hateful gaze over, and then she heard Manuel, who had always been.

tough, say, “It was my mother. I saw her die with my own eyes.”

In Westhill Cemetery, Manuel stood in front of a grave. The woman in the picture on the tombstone had a

beautiful face. On it was written: Lynette Gage, a loving mother.

In front of the tomb were fresh roses and carnations, and there was a flick of rare tenderness in Manuel’s

cold eyes.

After his mother passed away, Manuel’s father went abroad in deep sorrow. Manuel had always believed

that Lynette’s death was not as simple as it seemed.

Ainsley stood a little further away and watched this. She suddenly felt that it was a little unreal.

Manuel said he saw his mother die in front of him. Ainsley could not imagine how painful it must

1. be.

The man standing before the tombstone with his head down seemed to have removed his camouflage

and the mask called strength. Finally, he showed a hint of vulnerability.

Ainsley walked closer to him, and Manuel suddenly turned into a teenager. He looked at the photo on the

tombstone with tears in his eyes.

She could not help but want to take a few steps forward to hold him, even if she could only put her hand

on his back.

“It’s not time yet to make everything clear. If I do it, I will only alert the enemy. But Aisy, please believe

me,” Manuel said solemnly.

In the years he had been investigating the Wade family, Manuel had been misunderstood and slandered.

He only felt that it did not matter until he met someone he cared about.

No matter how hard the process of the investigation was, Manuel did not want to be misunderstood by

the person he cared about.

Ainsley did not speak. She only looked at Manuel with eyes full of inquiry. Before the time came,

this would always be his excuse.

But this time, Ainsley knew that what Manuel said was true.

If they wanted to find out the truth, they had to pay a heavy price. Ainsley didn’t ask anything because

she couldn’t bear to inflict any more pain on the man who was already deep in grievance.

However, there was one thing that she still wanted to figure out. “I don’t have to ask about anything else,

but there is one thing you have to tell me.”

“What?” Manuel raised his head.

“Did we really know each other three years ago? Is there something wrong with my memory?” Ainsley paused and continued, “When I was treating Serina, I got something from her subconscious

mind.

“She drew some paintings for me. I found something happening in the paintings familiar, but my mind is blank, and I can’t remember anything.”

“No, we didn’t.” Manuel clenched his fists.

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a deep breath.

Ainsley probably did not expect him to say it like this. If Manuel could deny it now, then why would he be cagey and refuse to tell the truth when he was asked the questions several times before?

“Alright, I understand.” Ainsley nodded.

Manuel looked at her and said seriously, “Aisy, let’s pause Serina’s treatment first.”

Serina could no longer continue the treatment. She had exposed too many things now.

“Why? You know that if Serina stops the treatment now, she can only live like this, which is worse than when the treatment started!” Ainsley could not understand.

Manuel explained, “Grandpa has found a team of top experts overseas. They will provide Serina with the best treatment. Don’t worry.”

“Are you afraid that I will find out something?” Ainsley narrowed her eyes.

Manuel looked away and did not refute.

“Alright, Manuel. You are Serina’s brother. You have the final say. However, I will not give up on bringing justice to Irene. Even if the law can’t punish her, I will not let her off,” Ainsley said coldly.

Irene’s car drove all the way to Marysville and stopped at a pharmaceutical factory.

She followed her assistant out of the car with a solemn expression and entered the factory.

This was the pharmaceutical technology factory under the Wade Group. To maintain a high position

in the business field forever, a business could not put all the eggs in one basket. Irene knew it, and the Gage family knew it.

The factory was large and divided into several areas. When Irene walked into the innermost subsection, the workers all gathered around the door in a panic.

The person in charge led Irene in, and she finally saw a few people lying on the floor, lifeless.

“What is going on?”

The person in charge said nervously, “Miss, there is a problem with our medicine. During its development, a worker threw the raw material into the wrong bucket, and it exploded directly.”
