Chapter 826 - Londons Plan (1/2)
After the press conference ended, slowly, all the bad gossips circulating about L began to subside. London was very happy to see that L was no longer bothered by the news coverages that cornered her.
”Honey, I won't eat dinner at home tonight, okay,” London said that morning before leaving for the office. ”You and Lily will join my family for dinner at my parents' house next door. My mother and father returned to Berlin today, and they would love to see you.”
L, who was b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding Lily in their living room, looked up in surprise.
”Why don't you eat with us? Do you have work tonight?” she asked.
London nodded. ”You could say this is work, but it's not related to my company. Do you remember I told you that the death of your parents and brother had something to do with the Swann family's inheritance?”
L nodded. Her brows furrowed, and her expression seemed to be filled with sadness again. ”I still remember.”
”I haven't told you the details. I have met Mischa. He is my brother in-law's former right hand who has deep connections in the underworld. He managed to find the assassin group responsible for your family's death.” London spoke cautiously because he knew how s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e this issue was to L.
Sure enough, L's face was soon filled with fury. Even though L was determined to let go of her grudge, instinctively, it was not easy to do.
”Wait a minute, I want to show you something. Maybe you should put Lily in the room first. What I'm about to show you is quite distressing.”
L then went back to the living room and sat next to London. ”What do you want to show me?”
London took out his tablet. He then played the video that Mischa was showing him. It was the recording of when Mischa caught and tortured one of the assassins responsible for killing the De Maestri family. He interrogated the killer and extracted the information about who was behind the murder.
L watched the video with blazing eyes. When L's gaze was fixed on the screen of his tablet, London actually watched L's face. He saw sadness filling the girl's face.
L was silent for a few moments after the video was finished. She was too emotional to be able to say anything. She now knew what happened and drew conclusions.
”That means they have been planning this for a long time,” she whispered in a hoarse voice. ”Oh, Father ... Mother, I don't mind not getting one cent from George Swann's inheritance... as long as you both can live. All the money in this world means nothing without you.”
Tears flooded her face again as she finally broke down and cry. ”I just want you back ... I just want you to live ...”
London became very moved and sad. He pulled L to his c.h.e.s.t and stroked her hair to calm her.
”I know ... Wise men said money is the root of all evil. Because of wealth, John Wendell did a heinous crime to your family. I promise I will not let him get away with it,” whispered London, trying to coax L who was hysterical.
L raised her face and looked at London with a questioning expression.
”What will you do?” asked the girl.
”I'm going to have dinner with Caroline Wendell, his daughter. Caroline was Danny Swann's girlfriend for a long time. I believe once Danny Swann manages to get all his inheritance, he intends to get rid of you and marry Caroline.” London explained. ”I will make Caroline leave him.”
L was very smart, and she quickly understood what her husband wanted to do. Finally, L nodded. She could have guessed that London would intentionally have dinner with Caroline and pretend to be interested in her.
When she realized that London was far wealthier than Danny Swann, Caroline and her father would change their targets, it was no longer Danny Swann, but London Schneider.
”All right, I understand. Is she the woman you had lunch with in London?” asked L.
