Chapter 628

"I had no idea back then, so I didn't think it was anything. It wasn't until the fire happened that I started to feel

suspicious. My sixth sense told me that her actions signified arson, so after she followed you to the hospital, I found

her. I said I heard the conversation between her and the two men, and I asked her why she did it. As a result, I

tricked Lara. She relied on the fact that I like her to beg me, saying that you're about to get engaged to her. She

was suddenly jealous and wanted to be your knight in shining armor so that you wouldn't forget her. Although I

found it somewhat hard to understand, I also felt sad, but I still kept it a secret and let her go."

Nigel continued, "But, after she went abroad, we gradually lost contact. I gradually stopped liking her, and my

sanity finally returned. Something made me really think things through. In fact, at that time, I rushed into the

restaurant too. Lara was standing sideways by the door and supporting you with one hand. The door of the private

room was half closed. I didn't have time to think about it, so I asked you how you were doing. She hurriedly told me,

'She's fine.' Then, she walked out with you propped up against her. I asked if Ellen was still inside. She said that Ellen

was worried that someone would go in and have a look, so she asked her to leave first. Then, I said that I'll go in

and have a look, so she asked me to take care of you while she went in to take a look.

A while after I helped you get out, they came out. Now that I think about it, with the angle she was standing at the

time and the way she was holding you, it's not impossible to say that she was closing the door of the private room!"

When everyone heard his explanation, they instantly knew what he wasn't saying—Lara wanted to kill Ellen in that

fire!

Glancing at the whispering crowd, Lara said angrily, "With the assumption you're making, I also have the right to

suspect that you went in because you wanted to close the door too!"

He cast her a faint glance, then retracted his gaze and looked at Edward, seemingly trying to compromise. "That is

indeed my assumption, but you should judge for yourself. Lara started the fire because she wanted to save you."

For a moment, Edward was dumbfounded, after which he held Nigel and asked eagerly, "Are you telling the truth?"

Nigel gave him a bleak look. "Of course it's true. Do you think I have so much time on my hands that I would come

all the way here just to lie to you? I can't get it off my conscience."

Hannah added, "In fact, Nigel wanted to come back several times to clarify this matter. However, when he heard

that you and Lara were married, he figured that what was done could not be undone, but we didn't expect you to

kill Ellen. Nigel blamed himself for not telling the truth earlier. This time, your son approached us and asked us

about what happened back then, which was why we made a trip here."

Edward stepped back while uttering, "No. No..." Then, he turned to Lara. "Didn't you say that Ellen discussed

starting the fire with two men? Why is it that you are the one who did it?"

Lara refuted, "It was Ellen. She deliberately schemed all of that in order to marry you. It's not me. They're just

slandering me. They were all bribed by Eugene."

"Bullsh*t!" Nigel fought back on the spot. "It's already gotten to this point, yet you're still making excuses. You really

fear nothing, huh?!"

Eugene looked at a dazed Edward with slightly cold eyes. "If my mother had set the fire, would she have allowed

Lara to take the credit? To see who you're biased toward? If you have even the slightest bit of analytical skills, you

won't be deceived by this woman to such a point. You've forgotten what my mother told you, haven't you? In that

fire, my mother saved you. My mother extinguished the fire at the door of the private room with a broom. She

endured the heat and moved the beam away. Lara did enter, but she stole you from my mother and helped you

out, but there were still people in the private room, and my mother was brought back in again. This way, others

would think that it was Lara who saved you. I think if it weren't for Mr. Lowe rushing in and asking about my mother,

it's very likely that my mother would have died in that fire!"
