Chapter 5676 Upon hearing Veron's story, Chester and Darryl exchanged glances with an unreadable expression.
They furrowed their brows. There was no way that the story was as simple as it sounded.
It was important to know that Jacob and Circe had feelings for each other, and they had already established that they wanted to be with each other.
Thus, Veron's story did not really add up.
It did not make sense.
What frustrated Darryl even more was Tuji.
The Elysium Gate had a good relationship with the Lange family,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand they had met a good number of times. Thus, Darryl knew Tuji well enough to know that he was a strict, disciplined person.
However, Zenyl's death was a mystery shrouded in questions, and Tuji had not been able to suss any of it out.
Just then, Darryl fell deep into thought as he exchanged a glance with Chester.
The next second, Darryl looked calmly at Veron. "Little miss, according to your story, I don't think Jacob is the killer." Darryl had wandered the earth for many years, and he immediately knew that Jacob was probably framed.
Whoever framed him was not only cunning, but also extremely powerful
to be doing such a thing in the Lange household.
What? As the words rang through the air, Veron quivered as she stared at Darryl blankly.
"The killer is... someone else? How...
How is that possible?’ At the thought, Veron shook her head as she said in a tone full of emotion, "That can't be. My grandfather took a look at my father's injuries, and his head was shattered by the 'Tai Mask' move of the Wudang Sect. Jacob learned this exact move two years ago, making him one of the Wudang Sect elites. The proof's right there. He's the killer." Toward the end, Veron panicked as her
chest bubbled with frustration and displeasure toward Darryl.
Not only did Darryl refuse to show support, he instead suggested that the truth was not what it seemed.
Could it be that the Wudang Sect had bribed the Elysium Gate to side with them in order to take down the Lange family altogether? "Seeing her like that, Chester tried to console her with a smile. "Calm down, little miss. Your Uncle Darryl isn't making all of this up. I think there's something else going on too. Jacob could really be framed, and your father's killer might be someone else altogether." Chester had the exact same thoughts and questions as Darryl.
It was clear that someone had framed Jacob to get him into trouble, using that as a reason to bring about conflict between the Wudang Sect and the Lange family. Perhaps Tuji had been too blinded by the grief of losing his son for him to make such a mistake in terms of judgment.
As the words rang through the air, everyone nodded in support of Chester's theory.
Veron's face flushed crimson with rage at the sight as her gaze grew murderous.
"You... Uncle Darryl, I came all this way to ask for your help out of respect for your skills in hopes that I would have the support of the Elysium Gate in taking down Jacob as a cold-blooded killer. Now, here you are, racking your
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbrains for a way to get Jacob out of trouble." "I got it. You formed a secret allyship with the Wudang Sect in order to take down us Langes. Since that's the case, I guess there's not much more to talk about." As she said the final word, Veron stomped her feet on the ground before turning to leave.
She was already annoyed for having to apologize to Ambrose, so she could not hold in her anger any longer at seeing Chester and the rest saying that Jacob had been framed.
Uhh...
Darryl flashed a pained look, speechless at the sight.
Chester, Debra and the rest exchanged
helpless glances as well. The high lady of the Lange family truly was far too stubborn, immediately assuming that they sided with the Wudang Sect just because they had a different opinion of what had happened.
Seeing as Veron was about to leave the hall in a huff, Ambrose could not stand it any longer as he stepped in front of Veron to block her path. He asked in an annoyed tone, "Hey, where are your manners? My father and Uncle Chester were just saying things as they were.
What's all the fuss about?" As he spoke, Ambrose pointed at the hall before him.
"I'm telling you, Veron Lange, put away that attitude of yours along with that temper. You're in the Elysium Gate, not your family backyard. No one
has to deal with your antics."
