Chapter 250 - The locket matched! (1/2)
”How on Earth Evan is involved in this?” with hopeful eyes of a child James squeezed Evan's shoulder, ”Tell them, you didn't do this. You have nothing to do with this man's death. Even if no one believe, I will believe you.” Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #!_50913382093604836 for visiting.
Seeing tears rolling down James' eyes, Evan's bottom lips quivered. He growled, wanting to reach out to wipe his tears, but the guards cuffed his hands.
”WHERE ARE YOU TAKING HIM? STOP IT,” James yanked the cuffs. ”It's a misunderstanding. Don't do this, Susu. My Evan--”
”He's not Evan!” James' grip on the cuffs loosened, everything inside him went still, ”The real Evan Ricci died over a year back.” At Wang Shi's order, Lu Xion's team in France got the Ricci family's properties and home checked. They stumbled into a bone-chilling scene. A horror show.
At the ancestral home's bas.e.m.e.nt were lying seven skeletons, scattered around in a most inhuman way. Butchered.
Two women and five men.
It was the entire Ricci family, including the real Evan Ricci.
”They were all murdered, Jamie. Isn't it the same time when Evan came into your life?” Suyin helped Wang Shi to stand up and supported him on her shoulder. ”Get me a wheelchair. Ge, call Dr. Colton ASAP, the number is in my phone.”
She paused in her steps and looked between Evan and James, ”I don't know with what purpose he entered our lives, but whatever it is, he's up to no good. I'll explain to you everything later, but first Shishi needs to get this bullet out of his shoulder.”
Behind her, James took a shaky step away from Evan, looking as the guards take him away. For some reason, he couldn't avert his eyes from Evan's face, searching if he could really kill someone. It made him sick to think of Evan as someone who used him as a means to fulfill a personal goal.
All sound lost to the faint voices, reminiscing of the time they had spent together-- and none of them say Evan can betray him.
......
Frantic. Anxious. Worried. Helpless. James wanted the answers like NOW. Every passing second was a nightmare for him. He ran to where Suyin was waiting for Wang Shi's surgery to get over.
”GET OUT, EVERYONE.” He snarled, ”I want to talk to you. Don't you dare brush me off with excuses. I don't care about your boyfriend when mine is airlifted just now. I want the answers, dammit.”
Zeng, ”Can't you-”
”Leave us alone,” Suyin said. She just sat there in the waiting room, staring at the floor, her shoulders slumped as if something's bothering her. Zeng wanted to go up to her when he felt a press at his shoulder and looked up; Si Han shook her head.
Si Han, ”Don't interfere between them. Come out with me.”
Suyin looked up at a screeching sound of a pull of a chair and James seated himself facing her, ready to interrogate. She looked down at his shaking hands and reached out.
”DON'T, I WANT ANSWERS.” James crossed his hand on his chest, ”Last time also you almost created a misunderstanding between us by saying you saw him in the street but it turned out Evan was here to surprise me.”
”He lied.” she said, ”He never left the country all this while.” she phone dialed her mother and asked her to send her IPad in. It was with Zeng. In no time Si Han came in to give Suyin's IPad. ”listen to this....”
