Chapter 376
At dawn, Joseph was woken up by James' call. "Mr. Dawson, Liam confessed to everything. Julie and Paxton were the murderers who killed Natalie. The police are now asking Miss Anderson to go over. What should we do..
Joseph suddenly sat up. "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure. Please explain it to Miss Anderson beforehand. I'm afraid that she won't be able to take it."
He remained silent. Beside him, Paige muttered to him in confusion, "Joseph, who is calling? Did they mention my mom and dad?" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
"Um... Paige, something happened. You should get up first. We need to go to the police station."
Her sleepy eyes shot open. "Why are we going to the police station?"
This was the first time Joseph felt that it was hard to speak. "Your dad.. is now in the police station."
"What? Did something happen to him?" She was not too surprised when she heard that Liam was in the police station. After witnessing his viciousness towards her the past few days, nothing surprised her anymore.
Joseph reached out to help her put on her clothes and said, "Yes, something happened to your dad. Let's go and check it out."
"Are you hiding something from me?" This was the first time he had tried to avoid her gaze.
"Joseph, tell me the truth. No matter what happens, I can bear it."
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth. Julie and Sophia hired people to kidnap you, so I asked someone to keep an eye on Julie. Coincidentally, she met up with the person she was cheating on Liam with, so I recorded their conversation and sent it to Liam. Long story short, your dad did things to punish them after listening to the recording."
"Is that so? Was he arrested by the police because of this? This is not a big deal though, you didn't have to hide it from me like that.
She continued, "Is there anything else you're hiding from me? Don't hide it anymore. I can bear it!"
In the face of her continuous questions, Joseph was forced to tell the truth.
"Your dad punished Julie and Sophia, so Julie's paramour, Paxton, rushed over to save them. However, your dad turned himself in, and they all went to the police station for interrogation. Then, he confessed to everything and said that he did it to avenge your mother because Julie and Paxton killed her."
"What? How... how is this possible?" Paige said with her eyes wide opened. She wavered and almost fell down.
Joseph reached out to hug her and asked, "Paige! Are you okay?"
"I'm not feeling well... I'm feeling a little dizzy. I feel quite uncomfortable, I…"
"I understand! Baby, take a deep breath!" He gently rubbed her chest. "Don't be afraid. I’ll be with you no matter what happens!"
She gasped for breath and calmed down after his endless comforting.
"Joseph, come on, let's go and have a look now. I must know if this is true or not! Maybe my dad is talking nonsense."
He put a coat on her and quickly pulled her out of the villa. Bobby was already waiting for them by the car. When he saw them coming out, he immediately opened the door.
Joseph helped Paige get on the car, and they drove straight to the police station. On the way, she silently laid in his arms.
He did not say anything either. He was equally as shocked by the sudden situation.
Liam claimed that Natalie was killed by Julie and Paxton. Did he have evidence or was he talking nonsense?
The possibility of him talking nonsense was not big. After all, this was not a joke.
If Natalie was really killed by Julie, Liam should have been aware of it all this time, rather than him finding out about it today.
The reason why he chose not to say anything was because he also wanted to use Julie and Sophia in his plans. When he found out that Julie and her daughter were not as simple as he thought at all, he confessed the truth.
Joseph frowned when he thought about this.
If Julie and Paxton were the ones who killed Natalie, then Liam was definitely not innocent either. He must be the underlying culprit behind her death.
The car stopped at the entrance of the police station, and Joseph took Paige to the interrogation room.
Liam was still being interrogated in hand cuffs. When he saw Paige and Joseph coming in, he lowered his head.
Paige walked over to Liam and asked, "Did Julie really kill my mother?"
"Yes!" He spat out a reply.
"How did you know? When did you find out?" She asked.
"I overheard it in a phone call between her and her lover, Paxton. I didn't know about it until I overheard them." He lied.
"Did you hear it by accident?" She looked at him suspiciously.
He licked his cracked lips and said, "After I overheard their conversation, I interrogated her, and she confessed to everything! To get my property, she poisoned Natalie with a drug that takes effect slowly, and Natalie's condition led her to stay in the hospital. Then, she poisoned Natalie's IV drip in the hospital, causing her death."
His words made Paige tremble with anger.
Julie was so vicious. No wonder she always thought that her mother's death was strange. She was perfectly fine before but died suddenly.
She felt that Liam had something to do with it, so she supressed her anger and asked him in a hoarse voice, "Where is the evidence?"
"The evidence was destroyed by Paxton, but Kyrie can testify." Liam had already discussed the plan with Kyrie.
Paxton broke in before the police arrived, so Liam pushed the blame on Paxton. It was useless for him to explain because Natalie's death did have something to do with Julie and Paxton.
"Really? Tell me honestly. Did you participate in plotting my mother's death?" Paige did not believe that he was innocent.
"It has nothing to do with me. How could I hurt your mother? I loved her so much."
"You're lying! If you loved her, you wouldn't have had an affair after she fell sick! I suspect that you and Julie were behind this." She did not believe him.
"I'm not! I swear!"
"If swearing was useful, why would we need the police?" She sneered. "Officers, I suspect that my father has participated in the murder of my mother. I hope you can find out the facts about this situation and give my mother an explanation."
Joseph, who had been silent for a long time, also spoke up. "This situation is really weird. I hope you can find out the truth. Isn't Paxton also part of it? Since Julie is badly injured, Paxton can help out with the investigation instead."
The policemen smiled and said, "Rest assured, Mr. Dawson. We will interrogate Paxton carefully. As long as he did it, no matter how hard he is to interrogate, we will find out the truth!"
"That's good! Thank you for your hard work!"
"But I have something to tell Mr. Dawson. Paxton has been using the Saunders family and Mrs.
Dawson to protect himself from interrogation. This matter…"
"No matter who he is, you must get the truth out of him. If something happens, I'll take responsibility!"
"Okay, your statement is a big relief for us!"
