Chapter 821 - Ls Decision (1/2)
L looked at London with pursed lips trying to hold back her tears.
”I knew it ...” the girl muttered to herself.
”That's why I don't want you to accept the inheritance ...” London said softly. He tucked a strand of L's hair behind her ear and stared at the girl with a grave look. ”If you take it, it's the same as taking blood money. Isn't my wealth enough for you? Why would you accept pennies from other people?”
L shook her head vigorously. ”No! I can't let Danny Swann kill my family and not get the consequences. If I can't kill him, I'll take all his money and make him dirt poor before sending him to prison ...”
”Uhm .. it's not Danny Swann ...” London said. He grabbed L's hand and put it on his l.a.p. ”But, your guess is not entirely wrong.”
”Is it not Danny Swann? Then ... who is it? Who killed my family??”
”The person who would benefit from Danny getting all of his inheritance ...” London did not want to hide the truth from L, so he then told her about John Wendell and the assassin group he hired to do the job. He also explained about Caroline Wendell, John's daughter, who was expected to get the Swann family's wealth after marrying Danny. ”I got this information from a trusted source.”
”Wait a minute ...” L looked at London with a glare. ”That means ... when you were having lunch in London ... it wasn't with the woman Jan set you up with?”
London shook his head. ”No. She is Caroline Wendell, the daughter of John Wendell. She was supposed to marry Danny Swann when the man gets all of his grandfather's inheritance.”
L bit her lip while thinking carefully. She remembered how Danny told her several times that he was forced to break up with his girlfriend because he wanted to fulfill his promise to his grandfather to marry L and protect her.
”Jerk!” L became furious. ”How could he say he made a sacrifice for me by leaving the girl he loved so that he could fulfill his promise to Grandpa George to marry and look after me ...”
Now L could see Danny's plan to take all of his grandfather's inheritance by persuading L to marry him. Then somehow, he would divorce L for one reason or another. Or, maybe he would resort to killing L so that he wouldn't have any trouble to marry Caroline.
”Vile people ...” hissed L in anger. ”I really hate them ...”
”Yes. They must be punished. I'm thinking of the right punishment for them. Right now, I want to provoke them to come, so you can meet them in person and punish everyone involved. I'm trying to find out whether Caroline and Danny are involved ...”
London's words made L frown.
”Where do you plan to bring them? Berlin?”
”That's right. I asked Jan to hold a medical conference in Berlin and invite many hospital representatives from all over Europe, one of which is the hospital owned by the Swann family and ran by John Wendell. I accidentally met Caroline when I went to London to follow you. I thought it would be good if I approached his daughter. Everything I do is to avenge your family's murder for you ... ”
L was touched when she heard London's words just now. She finally understood that London actually went to England to follow her, not to date other women. And his meeting with Caroline at that time was actually unplanned.
This fact filled her heart with warmth. ”I didn't know you really came to London to follow me ...”
”Of course ... why else would I do that?” asked London, smiling. ”Only you are important to me.”
”Thank you ...” L whispered as she wrapped her arms around her husband's neck and kissed London's lips gratefully. ”I feel so loved. I'm really lucky to have you in my life ...”
London returned his wife's kiss affectionately.
They hugged for a few minutes. L felt the burden in her c.h.e.s.t was reduced greatly. She had no idea that London had done so much for her, from buying and renovating her parents' house as a gift to L, and even finding out who killed her family and planning revenge.
