CHAPTER 403: CHAPTER 403: ALL YOU NEED IS TO KEEP ME IN YOUR HEART

Shane nodded: "I’ve told you before, if there’s anything, just tell me. Can I hit you even if you do?"

Audrey Sutton glared at him: "You have no right to talk about me. You didn’t tell me anything either, when I asked you, you ignored me."

Seeing Audrey Sutton starting to flip through the accounts, Shane changed the topic: "Talk about your matter."

Only then did Audrey Sutton tentatively start: "It’s about your brother."

He clearly froze for a moment, but his reaction was fairly calm, his expression quite peaceful, and he nodded to her, indicating for her to continue.

"A stranger sent me a lot of photos, about your brother and Vincent Warner and... my older brother."

Shane gave a light ’hmm,’ his emotions indifferent. He already knew about the photos, and had speculated about them a lot.

After experiencing this month’s events, he was actually not that concerned about the truth anymore, but hearing her confess to him voluntarily made him feel very satisfied.

"Those photos are at home, you can take a look next time you go back, they’re in the drawer under my desk in the room."

Shane couldn’t help interrupting: "Meaning..."

His pause made Audrey Sutton’s heart hang, as she listened to him continue: "...You’re not planning to go back with me?"

Hearing this, Audrey Sutton felt relieved, sipped some juice, and mumbled: "Anyway, I won’t go back before the summer vacation ends. As for after it’s over... I’ll decide based on your behavior during this period."

He chuckled: "Alright, continue."

Audrey Sutton: "Actually, those photos aren’t much to look at, just some of them from school days. I couldn’t figure out the reason the person sent me these things, originally I wanted to tell you, but since the matter involved your brother... I was afraid you would overthink, and it would affect your mood."

Shane: "And then?"

Audrey Sutton: "After that, you have to calmly listen to me finish."

Shane nodded: "Okay."

Audrey Sutton: "I don’t know who the person sending me photos is, but they contacted me more than once. Later on, they told me they were coming to me to reveal the truth about that year’s incident. They said... my older brother and your brother were considered rivals in love before, hadn’t you heard your friend say that too?"

Shane: "Hmm."

Audrey Sutton cautiously looked at him before proceeding: "...He sent me a video, analyzing that it was my older brother and Vincent Warner who teamed up to kill your brother... Don’t get agitated, listen to me finish."

Seeing her emphasize repeatedly, afraid he would flip out, Shane couldn’t help but smile, responding lightly: "I’m not agitated."

Seeing he could still smile, Audrey Sutton felt he didn’t really take it to heart, and continued: "I don’t believe my older brother would do such a thing, so I privately asked my second brother to help investigate."

Shane casually asked: "What were the investigation results?"

Audrey Sutton shook her head: "This matter is really not simple, my second brother said there are many odd points and it’s not as simple as an accident, it feels like someone really manipulated things behind the scenes. But based on what I currently know, I don’t think the culprit is my older brother... nor Vincent Warner."

After speaking, Audrey Sutton cautiously glanced at Shane, afraid he might think she was clearing Vincent Warner’s name.

He faintly asked: "What do you know?"

Audrey Sutton: "The person who sent me the video said my older brother tricked your brother due to personal feelings, but at that time when the incident happened, your brother was driving Vincent Warner’s car. If my older brother really wanted to frame your brother, why would he tamper with Vincent Warner’s car?"

"I know you might suspect it was my older brother and Vincent Warner collaborating, but I asked about the circumstances back then, Vincent Warner said, my older brother’s car broke down halfway, he called Vincent Warner, initially asking him to pick him up, but your brother saw Vincent Warner had been drinking, and volunteered to pick him up himself. Looking at it this way, everything was coincidental, if their real target was your brother, wouldn’t missing any step cause failure? So, we infer that the real target of the culprit might have been Vincent Warner, not your brother." Audrey Sutton tried her best to analyze for him, afraid he wouldn’t believe it.

Shane lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and raised his eyes to ask her: "Is this why you secretly went to see Vincent Warner multiple times?"

Audrey Sutton was stunned, her eyes somewhat guilty: "...You knew? I only went to him to clarify some past events for my second brother’s investigation."

Shane’s expression grew slightly solemn, taking a deep breath, not blaming her for not listening to him, but blaming himself for suspecting she was allied with Vincent Warner, for suspecting she approached him with an ulterior motive...

Also because of this, they lost the child they had long hoped for...

Audrey Sutton saw his silence, thinking he was upset, she pursed her lips and said: "I really just went to him to understand the situation."

Shane: "How do you know he’s not lying to you? How can you be sure it’s my brother who proactively suggested it and not at his behest?"

Audrey Sutton froze, she hadn’t really considered this point, she heard her older brother say Vincent Warner wouldn’t harm Sean Warner, so she didn’t have that bias against Vincent Warner, thus was willing to believe what Vincent Warner said.

Moreover, she felt Vincent Warner was quite sincere, each time he mentioned Sean Warner, he had a face full of remorse, even saying he wished the incident back then had happened to him. She felt Vincent Warner wasn’t lying, but now she thinks Shane’s point isn’t impossible either.

Shane: "I never suspected your older brother, not before not now, but I don’t trust Vincent Warner. He’s not as simple as you think, I don’t want you associating with him, not just because I fear he’ll hurt you, but I fear you’ll be deceived and used by him."

Audrey Sutton: "...I will carefully consider both sides of things, and keep doubts about Vincent Warner. This matter... I want my second brother to continue the investigation."

Shane sighed, his eyes held some helpless affection, he told her: "This matter isn’t something for your kind of brain to consider, focus on your studies, paint or watch shows when you can, don’t worry about these things."

Audrey Sutton: "Don’t you want to know the truth back then?"

Shane: "I do, but I don’t want you involved, don’t want you troubled by these matters, your heart only needs to be filled with me, I’ll handle everything else."

Audrey Sutton couldn’t help but smile, glancing at him teasingly, trying to pull the topic back on track: "I’m really curious, who is this person providing me these details, trying to pin everything on my older brother, it feels like they’re deliberately causing issues between our families."

Shane: "I will find out."

This matter could be said to indirectly have caused their child’s death, he must find out who’s behind it, for the child’s sake.
