Claire glared at him with her charming eyes, and said angrily: "What do you mean by that, do you dislike they being small?"

Edwards was purposely teasing her, because he liked the way she frowned and glared at him when she was angry. He thought it's fun and cute.

"How about I get the Old Garry to find a nutritionist to help you make your meals and see if there's any possibility of it becoming bigger?"

"Edwards!" Lily was so angry that she clenched her teeth. She had helped him cook a bowl of noodles out of good intentions, but the noodles couldn't stop him from speaking.

Edwards laughed out loud, and then, he quickly apologized and comforted her: "Alright, I'm joking with you, yours are already very big, there is no need to make up for it anymore. To be honest, when I first saw you, I felt that the children's dining hall was extremely luxurious, and they definitely wouldn't be hungry!"

Lily's beautiful face was flushed red, could this man say something nice?

After all, He was all making fun of her.

"I won't talk to you. I'm going to sleep!" Lily cleverly planned to escape, if she did not, she would not be able to sleep if she allowed this man to speak nonsense.

Looking at her rabbit - like figure quickly disappearing on the stairs, Edwards's smile did not decrease at all. He gathered the noodles together and started to eat with satisfaction.

The taste was not bad, Edwards had really eaten the entire bowl of noodles, and never felt like he was stuffed, because he had always been abstemious at eating, so now that he was stuffed, it gave him the strength to go upstairs and play with the little girl.

Overseas, it was noon. The sun hid in the clouds. The sky was dark and it seemed like a blizzard could break out at any time.

Jane Wayne was restless walking back and forth in the room. She kept an eye on the development of the accident in America. In just a few days of time, it had been calm down and the family members had accepted Edwards's high price compensation. The man that she chose was even locked up in the police station, so Jane Wayne felt as if she was waiting for death to come, and every day, she felt more and more sad.

That man had collected 500,000 dollars, so he would definitely be found out soon. However, she didn't understand why he hadn't come after her yet.

Actually, this matter had already concluded long ago.

On the night the man was arrested into the police station, he gave away everything. The police found out that he had several accounts, and although those money was entered in batches, they combined a tota of 500,000 dollars. Although not knowing where this amount of money came from, the police had an attention on this.

In the end, under pressure, the man told his brother about being sold, how he tricked him into drinking, how he sent him to the

construction site and made him lie down on the bare floor to sleep, and how he became the murderer. He was so scared that he cried and lost his voice

The Police station had originally wanted to investigate this matter to the end of the day, but was stopped by Edwards, because Edwards belonged to the side of the victim party. He put forward a suggestion, hoping to lock in the offender first, not to investigate for the time being, and then make a final decision three months later.

The police department naturally accepted his request, so they only kept the person in custody and did not immediately end the case. However, the evidence and clues they had been holding on to had been prepared. People behind the scenes can be brought to justice at any time.

Edwards didn't want this matter to continue because he didn't want Grandfather to see this kind of ugly human nature in his final days. However, offenders would definitely be prosecuted, and this was an unavoidable crime.

As a result, the prisoner had always been locked up and was unable for Jane Wayne to investigate the situation. It was because she did not know that, that made her even more terrified, feeling that at any moment, the police would find her and take her away into a dark and damp prison. In the future, she would no longer be a rich and luxurious young miss. She can no longer drive a luxury car, wear a famous brand and boast in front of her friends.

Her long hair that had been cared for would be cut off at her ears, her face would be eroded by time, she would die of old age alone in the prison, or she would be bullied by others.

"No, I don't want that kind of life, I don't want it!" When Jane Wayne thought about all these, she was so scared that goosebumps rose all over her body.

"Jane, what's wrong?" John Wayne suddenly walked down from the stairs, and asked softly when he saw Jane Wayne sitting like a ball with her legs in her arms.

Jane Wayne hurriedly hid the fear on her face, but her expression was still very bad. "Daddy, do you need me to prepare anything for your plane tomorrow?"

"Do you want to come back with me?" John Wayne suddenly asked.

"Me? I won't go back, Daddy. I'll stay here and wait for good news from you and brother." Jane Wayne had originally wanted to return and see Edwards, but now, her fear had overcome her infatuation towards Edwards, so she didn't dare go back.

"Fine, I don't force you. This time, I'm returning back to America because I have something important to do." A trace of ruthlessness appeared on John Wayne's face: "I suspect that Edwards is currently investigating the matter regarding my elder brother."

Jane Wayne's expression instantly froze, and she couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Daddy, wasn't uncle's death an accident? Why would he want to investigate?"

"An accident?" John Wayne suddenly let out a cold laugh, "You still don't understand Daddy!"

Jane Wayne's body started to tremble uncontrollably. That's right, she still did not understand John Wayne.

Even though they had been father and daughter for so many years, Jane Wayne still felt fear towards John Wayne. She always felt that he had a goal for doing things, he was too ambitious and her methods were too ruthless. But why, daddy still has been prisoned for five years?

"Daddy, it can't be related to you, right?" Jane Wayne didn't know anything about this matter previously, so she had always thought that it was an accident. She had naively thought that after her uncle met with an accident, then the authority of the Wayne Family would fall into John Wayne's hands, and she could become a real princess.

Now that she thought about it, she felt her entire body go cold.

John Wayne did not directly admit it, and only coldly said: "There is someone I letting her off so leniently back then. I never thought that she would ruin my plans in the end."

"Who is she?" Jane Wayne asked with even more curiosity.

"It's better if you don't know too much about this matter. It won't be beneficial to you!" John Wayne decided to stop there.

Jane Wayne was so frightened that her face paled, and only then did she resist her curiosity. However, when she thought that it was possible that Edwards's father had died in John Wayne's hands, she discovered that everything had become even more serious.

This was a battle of life. Although there was no smoke, it was a gamble with life.

Jane Wayne was extremely regretful in her heart. Previously, she had thought of that evil idea in order to show off, but now, she had moved a rock and smashed her own foot. She deserved it
