Chapter 1036: Revelation of the Matter

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing that the situation wasnt good, Derek hurriedly said, Uh, Eric, dont be fooled by these people! I swear I didnt send anyone to kill your son. I dont know the man youre holding at all! Since they brought him here, hes obviously in cahoots with them and trying to frame me so that youll hate me!

Eric couldnt tell who was lying, so he could only squeeze the neck of the young man in his hand and roar, Say it! Tell me honestly how my son died?!

Afraid that Eric would really strangle him to death, the young man explained frantically, Mr Mr. Piers instructed me to do it! Ive always worked for the Piers, and just after noon today, he told me that there was a man with broken limbs at the mall, and he immediately wanted me to pretend to be a member of the rescue team so that I could kill him silently!

I havent touched the two hundred thousand Mr. Piers told his butler to give me! I swear Im telling the truth! Im not lying at all!

Derek shouted in panic, Stop spouting nonsense and slandering me! I dont know you, and Ive never seen you before. How could I have possibly instructed you to kill someone?

!!

Furthermore, as the head of the esteemed Pier family, if I really wanted to kill someone, I would instruct my subordinates to relay the orders. How could I have done it myself? I dont know who instructed you to deal with me, but youd better think it over carefully. If you dare to slander me, Ill definitely skin you alive and make sure your entire family dies horribly!

Derek hollered furiously, refusing to admit that this young man had anything to do with him. In particular, his last sentence had an intense threat.

Sure enough, after hearing what Derek said, the young man shuddered and didnt dare to say anything else.

Eric said coldly, Dont worry. As long as you tell the truth, the Bransons will protect your family. No one will be able to hurt them!

In fact, now that things had already come to this, Derek had already made a judgment that there was something fishy about his sons death. He was certain that Derek had instructed this young man to kill his son!

The young man gritted his teeth and said, What I just said was the truth! Mr. Branson, given your abilities, it should be easy for you to find out if Ive worked for the Piers!

Moreover, I can tell you very clearly that I received two hundred thousand in my account at around one-thirty this afternoon, and your sons death was at about one-fifty! I remember it very clearly!

You can run and check and find out these things! It was Derek Branson who made me do it, and I hope youll spare my family on account that Ive told you the truth. They dont know anything!

The young man gave a clear account of all the things he had done, and there was a definite timeline from the moment he received the money to when he killed Mark. So it was unlikely that someone had bribed him after Marks to frame Derek.

Derek, now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say? Eric glowered at Derek, his eyes burning with fury.

He never imagined that just a few minutes ago, Derek was still telling him not to forget that his son had been murdered and that he mustnt let Jordan, the Howards, and Lucas off the hook.

But the facts now showed that the person who really killed his son was none other than Derek!

He had deliberately set things up to frame Jordan and falsely say that he wanted to help Eric take revenge so that he could use him to deal with his enemy!

How vicious and evil!

Derek couldnt find a suitable reason to get himself out of trouble, so he could only deny it vehemently. I really didnt do it. This punk made it all up. Eric, you have to believe me!

He was full of hatred. He had already carried out his plan successfully, and he was so close to uniting three top families. But a sudden change had occurred, and the murderer had been exposed. As a result, his plans went up in smoke, and he ended up offending the Bransons!

Florence took a deep look at Lucas with heartfelt admiration in her eyes.

She initially thought that she would come over and be able to resolve Maddy and Jordans matter. But she didnt expect the Williams and the Piers to get involved too. If Lucas wasnt present, the Bransons, the Piers, and the Williams would have formed an alliance and put the Howards in a dangerous situation.

Moreover, Lucas had secretly sent someone to investigate Marks death and found the real murderer, exposing Dereks plot and turning the situation around!

Meanwhile, Rayson looked at Lucas in astonishment, finding it impressive that he had turned the situation around without much effort.

At this time, Raysons heart was full of joy. Fortunately, after some hesitation, he had chosen to stand on Lucass side instead of joining Derek. Facts proved that he had made the right choice!

Seeing that things were going awry and escalating out of control, Derek felt vexed and fl.u.s.tered.

Hmph, I came with good intentions to help the Bransons seek justice. However, I didnt expect that not only would you be ungrateful, but youre even doubting me even though Ive been framed! In that case, I have nothing more to say. Goodbye! Derek said angrily and turned around to leave.

Stop. Did I say that you could leave? Lucass cold and indifferent voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Dereks body froze in shock.

He planned to ignore Lucas and just walk away. But for some reason, a chill surged in his heart when he recalled what had happened at the Howard residence previously. His feet felt as if they were stuck to the ground, and he didnt dare to move at all.

Previously, Dereck and his father had brought more than thirty elite bodyguards to the Howard residence. Four of them had been severely injured, while the rest had their joints disconnected by Jordan. Eventually, they later joined the Howard family.

Although he had brought more than twenty people this time and a few top experts he had hired from abroad at a high price, he wasnt confident when facing Lucas.

Wh-what do you want? Derek stared at Lucas with clenched fists.

Lucas said coldly, You secretly killed Eric Bransons son, but thats between you and the Bransons. I dont care about this. But you owe me an explanation for framing my friend Jordan for it! Furthermore, you repeatedly slandered my mother-in-law for killing her father to take over his position. Youd better explain yourself, or else you can forget about stepping foot outside the Stone residence today!
