Chapter 251
. “Many years went by, and the woman died of illness, leaving only such a company behind. The man took care of
the daughter and worked hard to manage the company while his relatives never lent him a helping hand or even
shared his hardships.” Maisie lowered his eyes and scoffed. “After many years, after the girl grew up, the man
wanted to hand the company to the girl, but the man’s mother brought her relative to their house and demanded
the man to hand the company that the girl’s mother worked so hard to establish to her relative’s son. All that just
because the mother and the relative think that a daughter of the family doesn’t have the right to inherit the
family’s company.”
Of course, Madam Vanderbilt knew that the story Maisie was talking about was clearly an evasive reprimand, and
her expression turned gloomy at that moment. The reporters in the audience obviously understood the underlying
meaning of the story and felt that the relatives were indeed too mean.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt‘All children should have the right to inherit a family’s property, and one shouldn’t be deprived of the right to get
what she deserves just because she’s born a girl. What era are we living in now? This family actually still upholds
such a conservative ideology that favors boys over girls?
‘Not to mention, they still plan to hand the company to a collateral relative.’
“Maisie Vanderbilt! Don’t make up stories to fool the media. You’d better explain clearly how you murdered your
aunt!” Madam Vanderbilt’s voice was not loud, but all the reporters present heard it.
A reporter then asked, “Can I ask you about the murder of your aunt, Yanis Warren? “According to the information
we got, you had a conflict with your relatives because of Vaenna Jewelry’s inheritance and that you’ve thought
about retaliation. Could it be that you’ve accidentally killed your aunt because of an act of vengeance?”
Nolan was standing behind the curtains, and his eyes turned cold. If it weren’t for Maisie’s insistence on not allowing
him to appear before the crowd, he would have rushed onto the stage and showed those b*stards a living hell on
Earth. Maisie looked at the reporter. “Is there any evidence that points toward the fact that I’ve killed
her?”
As soon as Maisie said that, the reporters in the audience nodded and whispered something among themselves.
However, Madam Vanderbilt, who was sitting in the front row, snorted. “You had something o n Yanis and used it to
lure her out to harm her!”
Maisie smiled. “I was in Blackgold all the time on the day my aunt was killed. So, how did I accomplish what you said
when I was physically in the Blackgold?” “You… Then you must’ve hired assassins to kill her!” Madam Vanderbilt
insisted that Maisie was the one who did it, especially after hearing Leila’s words. “You could bribe a lawyer into
helping you to get your hands on Vaenna Jewelry, so why couldn’t you hire someone to kill your aunt?”
There was an uproar at the scene.
Leila’s eyes looked cold and merciless. ‘Just you wait, Maisie! You’ll definitely be forced onto a path of no return
today!’ Nolan took a deep breath as he looked at Maisie, who remained silent for a moment on the stage. He could

‘She must be at a loss, right?’
He could no longer sit back and watch. Quincy held him back just as he was about to go out, and he saw the door
being pushed open slowly. Two police officers then walked in from the outside with the forensic expert, Dr. Watson.
The reporters were all flustered.
‘Even the police have arrived at the scene. Could it be that they’ve established the fact that Ms. Vanderbilt is the
murderer?’
When Madam Vanderbilt saw the police entering the hall, she stood up and exclaimed excitedly, “It’s nice to see
you, officers. The murderer is on the stage, hurry up and arrest her!”
Stephen got up from his seat. “Mother, stop—” The police walked past them, approached Leila, and took out a
warrant. “Ms. Scott, you’re suspected of committing a murder. Please come with us.”
The pride on Leila’s face gradually turned into consternation, and a deathlike pallor covered the change in
expression. “Office… Officer, you’re joking, right? How… How could I have murdered someone? The killer is on the
stage…”
