Chapter 190 A Sudden Death

Before knowing this, all she wanted was just to live her life and take back the control of the Benett

family so that her father’s efforts so far would not lay in the wrong hands.

However, she finally realized that he did not die from critical illnesses.

If Norman and the rest played a part in his death, I will not rest until I send them to jail!

She took a deep breath. It seems like I need to head back to the Benett family soon, but it won’t be

today for sure.

She drove directly to the law firm. When the rest of the lawyers saw the icy look on her face, they did

not dare to greet her. Even Albert was exceptionally quiet on this day.

When Charli saw her, she asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen at Lumineer Temple?”

After all, she knew that Elisa had brought Julia to the temple in the morning before this.

“No.” Elisa shook her head.

“What happened, then?” With that, Charli got up and poured a glass of water for her.

She took the glass from her but did not take a sip. The dark expression on her face was rather

terrifying.

The longer the time passed, the more Charli felt that something was wrong. Sitting beside her

worriedly, she asked again, “What on earth happened, Elisa?”

A sharp glint crossed Elisa’s eyes as she said, “Charli, help me find out something. The more details,

the better.”

“Sure. About what?”

Elisa pursed her lips before saying coldly, “Everything that happened in the Benett family from June to

August last year.”

“June to August?” Charli was surprised to hear that.

“Yes. One month before and one month after my father’s death.”

Her father passed away on the first of July last year. Even though she was already married to Gareth,

she was out of Bayswe for an errand. Because of that, she did not get back in time, and she was

strongly remorseful about that.

Since then, she no longer wanted to be a lawyer anymore, but she knew very well that her father would

not want to see that if he were still alive.

Charli’s expression became more solemn when she looked at Elisa. “Did you find out about something,

Liz?”

“I think something’s wrong with my father’s illness and his passing,” she replied directly, for Charli was

her close friend.

Upon hearing that, Charli froze for a moment. “Don’t worry. I’ll arrange for someone to investigate this

matter in the dark.”

Elisa’s lips were pressed together in a thin line, but she no longer said anything. When she was holding

the glass in her hands, even though she felt the heat from the warm water, it could not warm her cold

heart. Her hands even started trembling.

Realizing that, Charli quickly took the glass from her and placed it on the table. “Did you realize that

something was wrong? What exactly happened today?”

Elisa took a deep breath before saying, “Just go ahead with the investigation first; I can’t confirm many

things myself. Remember to keep it a top-secret, Charli.”

Charli nodded. “Don’t worry. The people you’ve trained are very reliable.”

Upon hearing that, Elisa gave a nod without saying anything else.

In reality, lawyers usually have connections with private detectives. When the case had many unclear

leads, the private detective would become an important character.

Elisa had been training a few of them privately. Since Charli was her assistant, she was also a part of

their communication.

Sitting in front of the laptop, Elisa tried calming her emotions down.

No matter how angry she was, she was still rational.

Back then, it was said that Dad died of a blockage in his artery. Before that, he was already critically ill,

and I couldn’t make it back in time. About that–

Knock, knock, knock!

The abrupt knocking on the door suddenly blocked her thoughts.
