Chapter 417
Chapter 417 Who Killed Hannah?
Julian found it ridiculous!
He had planned for so many years. How could he make such a fatal mistake?
That video was real because everything that happened in the video had really happened.
However, he did not understand. He had racked his brains to do it. Why he would leave such a fatal video behind?
An invisible surveillance camera that no one knew about? This was ridiculous!
Julian's mind was buzzing. He hadn't recovered from this huge blow.
"Lock him up in the death cell and execute him at a later date." Jaye's cold and ruthless voice sounded, immediately sobering Julian up.
He hadn't fully come to his sense from the terrible blow. He hadn't come to terms with reality.
Julian's body trembled when he heard Jaye's order, and his eyes widened.
The death cell was the place where the tribunal committee held prisoners under sentence of death.
Once one went in, there was no chance of coming out.
He could not help but look at the district masters. He did not want to go to the death cell. If all the district masters pleaded for him, he would at least have a chance. Even if he was convicted, as long as he didn't go to the death cell....
However, when he looked over, he saw that those district masters didn't have any intention of pleading for him. Moreover, they looked like they were watching a show. Julian's mind instantly exploded. The next moment, he saw those district masters surrounding Landon with smiles on their faces. They did not even look at him. No, someone was still looking at him.
It was Fifth Master. Fifth Master's drunken eyes were looking at him mockingly.
Julian's eyes instantly turned red. He could not help but shout again, "Justin, I said, I didn't kill Hannah!"
However, he had already been forcibly detained.
Fifth Master stared at Julian's figure. A faint smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes were filled with mockery and pity.
Isabella also watched Julian being escorted away with a calm expression.
"You've achieved your goal. You've finally taken him down. Congratulations." Fifth Master's deep voice sounded beside her.
Isabella glanced at him and said calmly, "Congratulations too. Fifth Master, you have also avenged your lover!"
"So what? The dead can't be resurrected. I haven't achieved my goal yet." Fifth Master sighed faintly.
Isabella did not reply.
She looked at Landon. A few district masters were surrounding him.
"Mr. Wright, my condolences. Fortunately, the real murderer has been arrested!"
"That's right, Mr. Wright. It has already happened. The tribunal committee can't do without you in the future. You have to pull yourself together."
"Elders, isn't it time to decide on the candidate for the new president?"
Everyone in the council looked at Landon. Jaye said, "Landon, you were originally one of the vice presidents. Now that your injustice has been cleared. The tribunal committee has no leader. The position of president will be yours. Do you have any objections?"
Landon took a step forward and said respectfully, "I have no objections. It's my honor to continue the work. left by my father. I will definitely do my job well and not let my father and the elders down."
"Good!"
A smile finally appeared on Jaye's face.
"Congratulations, president!"
"Congratulations!"
In an instant, the entire venue was filled with congratulations.
lan stood in the corner, half of his face hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to see the expression on his face.
After the meeting ended, Isabella did not leave. Instead, she went to look for the elders.
"Are you going to see Julian?" Jaye was a little surprised.
Isabella said, "I have something to ask him."
Jaye didn't decline and said, "I'll go with you. Do you want to ask about the Black Crystal Potion?"
Isabella said, "You can think so."
Isabella and Jaye went to the death cell together. When Julian saw them, he could not help but get excited.
"Jaye, you actually brought her to the death cell? What is the council thinking? Even if I, Julian, have done something wrong, it's not up to an outsider to humiliate me!"
Jaye snorted. "Behave yourself!"
Isabella said, "Mr. Duncan, why are you so agitated? I'm not here to humiliate you. I have something to ask you."
Julian sneered and said, "You want to ask about the Black Crystal Potion, right?"
He looked at Jaye again and said in shock, "Jaye, has your council reached some kind of cooperation with the Lockwood family?"
He was not stupid. After careful analysis, he would naturally be able to figure everything out.
Jaye said, "That's not something you should worry about."
Julian looked at Isabella and suddenly laughed. "Good, good. Mrs. Lockwood and Mr. Lockwood are indeed impressive. Draxton is really worthy of being the most powerful patriarch of the Lockwood family in the past one hundred years. He can even convince these old men in the council. I am sincerely convinced that I lost to you!"
Isabella was not humble at all. "Losing to us is indeed not a loss for you!"
Julian sneered and said, "However, don't ask me about the Black Crystal Potion. I don't know."
Jaye's eyes turned cold as he looked at Julian unhappily
Isabella said, "I know where the Black Crystal Potion is. I don't need to ask you. I want to ask about Hannah."
Julian was not the only one who looked surprised. Jaye also looked at Isabella in surprise.
Isabella said, "Julian, did you really not kill Hannah?"
Julian looked defeated. "How do you know where the Black Crystal Potion is? I've been looking for it for so many years, but I couldn't find it...”
After a pause, he continued, "Although Hannah is the old president's personal assistant, she is a fool. Her mind is not on her work at all and she is not useful. The old president did not put her in an important position at all.
"There's no benefit in killing her. I can't be bothered with such small fry. I really didn't kill her."
Isabella was deep in thought.
Jaye narrowed his eyes. "But Justin said that you killed Hannah."
All these years, Fifth Master had been dispirited and drunk because of the death of his lover, Hannah. He did not care about the outside world. Everyone could tell how much he cared about Hannah. Julian's expression gradually calmed down. "Now that things have come to this, there's nothing I can't say. Hannah's small fry. If I really killed her, there's no reason for me not to admit it."
Isabella and Jaye looked at each other. The two of them pretended to leave, but Julian stopped them.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
He asked, "How do you know where the Black Crystal Potion is? I've been looking for it for so many years but
couldn't find it. Also, how did Fifth Master get that surveillance video?"
Even if he had to die, he had to die after knowing the truth.
Isabella said, "The old president gave the Black Crystal Potion to Hannah, whom he did not value the most. He asked Hannah to bring it out. However, when Hannah was escaping, she was killed. Before she died, she met Fifth Master and handed the potion to him."
Julian was stunned. He stammered, "That's impossible. Why would the old president give such an important thing as the Black Crystal Potion to that woman? This is ridiculous!"
"Perhaps the old president discovered something and had no choice but to do so. Or perhaps, Hannah is not simple."
Julian fell to the ground in a daze, looking like he had suffered a huge blow.
Isabella and Jaye left the death cell. Both of them had troubled expressions on their faces on the way.
Jaye said, "Mrs. Lockwood, things are a little strange. Have you ever thought..."
Jaye was about to say something when Fifth Master walked over from the opposite side.
He stood there sluggishly with a bottle of wine in his hand.
