Deadly Doting Marriage Novel - Chapter 110
Chapter 110: John Knew the Truth Behind the Fire
The moment the call connected, Sherri could not help but curse, “Are you crazy? You still want money from me?”
“You know that the Millan family is bankrupt. How could I have so much money to give you!”
Carson sneered. “Sherri, I don’t care if you are bankrupt or whatever. Give me another million, and I will never look for you again. Otherwise, I will tell John that he will definitely pay 10 million for the truth!”
“Sherri, one million is all I am asking for. Hurry up and give me the money!”
Sherri said angrily, “No, no, not a single cent!” With that, she hung up the phone.
Carson saw that she had hung up and continued to call her.
Sherri was so angry that she instantly turned off her phone.
Only when the phone no longer rang did Sherri let out a sigh of relief.
She held the phone in her hand. Her face was pale, and the sweat on her forehead dripped down.
The Lambert Group.
John walked out of the conference room and returned to his office.
He opened the company’s documents and was about to finish his work.
At that moment, an email popped up on his computer.
John opened it and saw that it was the truth about the small cabin that caught fire four years ago.
“If you wish to learn the truth of why the cabin caught on fire, go Duhill in Crafield and bring another ten million with you.”
John’s blood began to flow in reverse. He stood rooted to the ground in disbelief.
Back then, when the small cabin caught fire, wasn’t it Kathleen who committed suicide?
Could it be that there was another reason behind it? Back then, Karl found out that the fire was caused by some oil and fuel.
That night, Kathleen and him… were already so tired. How could she possibly buy fuel?
Could it really be that someone had murdered her?
John could no longer remain calm. Who was the person who had sent the email?
He knew the truth of that year and had actually asked him for ten million dollars!
John’s cold black eyes were filled with killing intent. He immediately dialed Karl’s number. “Prepare ten million dollars!”
“Young master, why do you need ten million dollars?”
“Cut the crap and prepare immediately!”
“Yes!”
John looked at the setting sun on the horizon, his entire body exuding destruction. Could it be that someone had framed Kathleen?
He wanted to see what this person who dared to make a deal with him knew.
John took the ten million dollars and went straight to the Duhill in Crafield. This place was not far from the small cabin. John’s expression changed.
He came here once again after so many years, his heart still aching to the point of numbness. He had lost that little thing in his life. He had no more expectations in this life.
“Mr. Lambert.” A voice came from behind.
John slowly turned around, but he did not see John standing there looking at him with a faint smile.
“You’re the one who sent me the email?”
“Yes! Mr. Lambert, I know the truth about what happened at the small cabin four years ago. As long as Mr. Lambert gives me ten million, I will testify and point out the murderer who set the fire back then.”
John looked at him coldly, “Ah, you know the truth back then, but you actually hid it and didn’t report it. Do you think you still have the life to spend this ten million!?”
Carson’s heart trembled, “Mr. Lambert, if you kill me, you will never know the truth. The person who set the fire will always be free! The girl who burned to death can only die an unjust death for the rest of her life…”
“Shut up!” John’s eyes were about to split open. Kathleen’s death was taboo to him, and he would not allow anyone to mention it.
“Immediately tell me what you know! My patience is limited!”
Carson glanced at the box in John’s hands, “I said I want ten million. When the money is in my hands, I will tell you who set the fire that night. I also have physical evidence.”
John looked at Carson coldly as if he was looking at a dead man. He slowly opened the box, and there were stacks of cash inside.
Carson’s eyes lit up. He raised his hand to take the box. John closed the box and said, “Tell me what you know. I can give you the money!”
Carson’s heart was beating fast. “Okay, I’ll tell you!”
“Four years ago, a woman asked me to purchase fuel for her. I asked her why, but she didn’t tell me. Then I followed her and saw that she set the fuel on fire and burned the small cabin by the sea. ‘
“I was very scared at that time and asked someone to put out the fire. It was late at night, and there was no one. VVhen I came back, I saw that the small wooden house had been reduced to ashes.”
“In the end, I found out that there was someone in the small cabin. I also saw you and had been paying close attention to you ever since..”
John’s black eyes turned red instantly. “Why didn’t you tell me the truth back then?”
Carson replied, “I just wanted to get some money. I owed some gambling debts and wanted to pay them off”
“Who is that woman?” John asked in a deep voice.
“It’s your fiancée, Sherri!” After saying that, he took out the evidence of Sherri transferring money to him over the past four years.
John took over the transfer records and saw that Sherri had transferred several million yuan to this man called Carson over the past four years.
In that instant, his entire body was filled with a murderous aura, as if he was a devil that had just walked out of hell.
It was Sherri who set fire to Kathleen!
When Carson saw John’s expression, he was very afraid. He picked up the box on the ground and said, “Mr. Lambert, I know that you’re the CEO. You’re a man of your word. I’ll take this money.”
Carson grabbed the box and ran. Karl immediately stepped forward and said, “Young Master!”
John’s dark eyes stared at the direction in which Carson had run away. “Watch him closely. Don’t let him escape!”
“Yes!” Karl immediately made a call.
John’s entire body was filled with murderous intent. He turned around and drove away from Crafield.
In the Millan family’s villa.
Ever since that day when Sherri saw Kathleen, she had been living in fear every single day.
Besides going to the hospital to visit George, she spent most of her time hiding at home.
She was not worried that Kathleen would find trouble with her, but she was worried that Carson would ask for money from her.
This kind of fear and worry made her unable to sleep or eat. In just three days, she had lost a lot of weight.
In the living room, she sat on the sofa and fiddled with the remote control.
A luxury car drove in through the glass window. It was John’s car.
Sherri’s face lit up, and she immediately sat up from the sofa. “John is here!”
She ran out to greet John in her pajamas. When the car door opened, Sherri could only see John’s extremely cold face.
Sherri instinctively had an ominous premonition. She took a step back and said in a low voice,
“John, what’s wrong?”
John looked at Sherri coldly, and his large hand grabbed her neck. “I’ll give you a chance to tell me the truth about Kathleen’s death four years ago! I can leave you a complete corpse!”
Sherri trembled violently and raised her eyes to look at John. “What truth about death?”
Her heart was in her throat, and her entire body was so nervous that it was like a bowstring being pulled. “Kathleen… didn’t Kathleen commit suicide?”
John’s hand kept tightening, and he said angrily, “Are you still lying to me? Did you set the small cabin on fire four years ago?”
“Was it you who caused Kathleen’s death? Speak!”
“John, what are you talking about? I didn’t!”
