Chapter 451 Fear
Upon hearing this, Gage furrowed his brow in displeasure and immediately defended his son.
"Louis, we need to investigate this matter thoroughly. We can't just accuse someone without properevidence."
"Andrew is my son. I have raised him well since he was young, and I don't believe he would dosomething like that. I hope your people will find out the truth before making any accusations."
As soon as Gage spoke, Andrew and Daisy's hearts were no longer racing with fear.
Although their father's words suggested a desire to uncover the truth of the matter, there was anunderlying message that he wanted to protect them.
As long as their father was on their side, they wouldn't face any consequences.
Louis glared at Andrew. The things Andrew had said about Martha earlier almost made Louis losecontrol and punch him... but there wasn't enough concrete evidence yet to prove anything, andMartha hadn't woken up to accuse them.
After a moment of tense silence, Sam broke the ice by asking about Martha's condition.
"How is Martha doing? Is she in danger?"
The Lucas siblings' palms began sweating at Sam's question.
They knew about Martha's coma, and naturally they also knew what the side effects of the incensewere...
If Martha woke up now, it would be disastrous for them!
Louis glanced at Sam before turning his gaze back onto Daisy and Andrew with a cold response,"She hasn't woken up yet."
Daisy breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this news; if they hadn't detoxified her quickly enough,she would fall into a coma for a long time, and she may never wake up again.
Then Andrew and she wouldn't face any punishments for now.
They would be safe and sound until Louis found solid proof.
Thinking of this, Daisy pretended to be sad and looked at Louis.
"Louis, I never thought you'd think so little of us..."
Louis furrowed his eyebrows slightly while looking at Daisy; his lips pursed tightly together.
Seeing this, Gage took a step forward, looking at the menacing Louis with a fair and impartial look.
"Louis, you have come here to accuse my children without any evidence. You should wait until afterMartha wakes up before making any accusations."
Until then everything remained unknown.
Moreover... Gage knew all too well that once someone had taken incense without getting detoxifiedtimely, she might never wake up again.novelbin
In the end, this matter would only be left unresolved.
Gage pretended to be serious and said, "If she doesn't wake up, no one knows what reallyhappened. That's why I can't let you take them away."
Louis' eyes darkened, looking at Gage who was hypocritical.
His mother had been investigating his aunt's affairs since a long time ago. Through these years ofinvestigation, he also knew that Gage and his family were vicious and could do anything.
The reason why he was half certain that Andrew did it was because over these years Andrew hadalways been involved in shady business and could do anything to achieve his goals.
And then there was Daisy - she looked harmless enough but if anyone got in her way of gainingprofit, she would use any means necessary to make them disappear.
He believed that Martha's situation had something to do with the Lucas siblings. However, sinceMartha hadn't woken up yet, it wasn't possible to say for sure whether or not they were responsiblefor what happened.
Louis stiffened and tightened his hand by his side as he looked at Gage with determination in hiseyes.
"She will definitely wake up," he said firmly.
With those words spoken, Louis turned to look at Daisy who seemed relieved in warning.
Daisy held back her emotions and said with a feigned sad look, "I hope Martha wakes up soon sowe can prove our innocence."
Louis narrowed his gaze feeling disgusted by this woman.
He turned around and left with his people while Daisy stood there watching him leave and feelingrelieved but still shaken from what just happened.
She hoped Martha wouldn't be so lucky this time; otherwise both her brother and herself would bedone for!
