CHAPTER 883: CHAPTER 883: I WILL MAKE YOU DIE

Melanie Lancaster paused for a moment, instinctively shaking her head, "It wasn’t me." It was extremely difficult to speak with him gripping her chin, "I... didn’t." She denied once more.

After hearing this denial, one second he was gripping her chin, the next he was strangling her!

The pressure was so intense it almost killed her!

The woman opened her mouth, instinctively grabbing Adrian Lancaster’s wrist, her eyes pleading for survival, but was unable to utter a single word of begging.

Every second was torture for her.

"I’ve come to you, and you still won’t admit it?" Adrian Lancaster tightened his grip, clutching her until her face twisted, on the verge of suffocation!

He harshly informed her, "We caught three people today; they said they took your money before you were imprisoned to take Faye’s life."

Before imprisonment?

Melanie remembered this matter... but the other party never found a chance to act and just kept delaying.

She had even asked them for money, but they said they would definitely find an opportunity and asked her to set a deadline.

Later, she went to prison.

Those people kept their promise, unexpectedly.

As she looked extremely distressed, her grip on his wrist gradually lost strength, and the terror in her wide-open eyes was haunting as her hands finally slipped away.

Adrian Lancaster barely regained a bit of rationality, and after struggling internally, he let go.

Melanie fell backward, collapsing on the ground, gasping for air desperately, accompanied by violent coughing, "Cough, cough... cough, cough!"

Just now, she truly felt as if she had walked through the gates of hell!

Adrian Lancaster squatted in front of her, staring at her unsympathetically, "Answer me, yes or no?"

Melanie dared not answer, feeling she might really die at his hands, but her expression could no longer fabricate lies.

As he posed the question, a clear scrambling flickered in her eyes.

Therefore, Melanie’s answer was already apparent.

"What a vicious woman!" Adrian Lancaster’s eyes were bloodshot, filled with hatred for her, but his reasoning told him he must punish her legally.

"From now on, you better cherish every day you’re still alive," Adrian Lancaster said to her, "I will make you pay."

Those words were not just a cold shower but a sharp knife piercing her heart!

Watching Adrian Lancaster’s departing figure, Melanie shivered internally, her neck had turned completely red from the strangulation.

Confirming that the person pushed into the river in that surveillance footage was his wife, Faye Turner, Adrian Lancaster felt even more sorrow deep within.

There was no more hope.

Because the river was swift, if another woman’s corpse was retrieved, it might very well be his Faye.

Hence, under such circumstances, the likelihood of a miracle was slim, he was fully aware as an adult.

But his command was—

Regardless of the cost, he must see the person if alive, and the corpse if dead!

It was only after seeing the body and confirming the DNA results that he would declare his wife deceased!

Otherwise, he would not believe it, would not acknowledge it, and would continue searching!

This search lasted another week, yet nothing was found.

Adrian Lancaster had lost 20 pounds, becoming despondent, relying on sleeping pills just to fall asleep.

His grandfather no longer smiled, looking much more haggard, only feeling a trace of solace when facing Joy.

Jadepoint, The Xavier Family.

Old Mr. Downey recently gathered quite a few precious medicinal herbs from the back mountain, it was an unexpected gain, bringing him great joy, as he dried them and ground them into powder.

Having stayed at the mansion for some time, he planned to pack up and resume his journey today.

"Old sir, are you leaving today?" Simon Xavier noticed and quickly urged, "Stay a few more days?"
