NovelUpdateChapter 965: "This morning, news broke that the Burgess family is under investigation for tax evasion and smuggling," Penny said casually, though her eyes were focused on Evelyn. "It's strange. No one was investigating them before, yet the evidence is clear. It's so thorough-gathering that much would take at least six months." The Burgess family had faced scandals in the past, but they always seemed to disappear, hinting at spowerful protection behind the scenes.

In Lyhaton, there were only a handful of people who could wield that kind of power.
When Evelyn heard this, she looked at Penny, noticing her nervousness. Her eyes grew cold. "Just say what you need to say." Her voice was steady, but there was an unspoken weight behind her words.
Penny took a deep breath and hesitated before speaking. “We heard that Corrine got into a fight. She was really ruthless. Those people are still in the hospital. After she was taken away last night, the police have been questioning her." Evelyn stood up suddenly, anger flashing in her eyes. “Why are you only tellingabout something so serious now?" Penny rushed to stop her. “Don't worry. Our people said that after Nate returned to Lyhaton, he went straight to the police station and already took Corrine away." "Next time, don't leavehanging like that," Evelyn sighed deeply as she sank back into her chair.

It seems the Burgess family hired hitmen to kill Corrine, but she saw right through it. She fought back and hurt them badly. After that, she called the police, and they raided the Burgess family, but Leah claimed they were framed. Later, Andromache bailed..." "Corey out..." As Penny spoke, she watched Evelyn's face closely.
When she saw Evelyn's expression darken, Penny started to sweat, her voice trailing off.
Evelyn snorted, her voice calm but chillingly cold. "My daughter never seems to do anything right, does she?"
At that moment, a rapid commotion of footsteps echoed faintly from outside growing louder with every second.
The muffled sound of a heated argument drifted into the room. "Ms. Hopkins, Mr. Hopkins @ave explicit е instructions that you are not allowed to set foot in Fragrance Garden. Please, do not put us in a difficult position."
"Move aside!" Andromache's voice rang out, cold and sharp as steel. "Fragrance Garden is my mother's residence. Since when does Nate have the authority to dictate who enters or leaves? Get out of my way, all of you, or I promise you will regret it!"
