C77 The Woodward Family Would No Longer Exist in the Goulcrest.
"Say something!"
Reece's dark eyes swept across the people of the Woodward family. His gaze landed on Mildred, and his eyes were extremely cold.
A pair of cold knives came from above. Mildred's scalp immediately went numb, and her breathing became even more stifled.
"This, this, this, this must be a rumor!"
Reece's eyes suddenly narrowed. "Oh?"
"It must be someone who is deliberately trying to invert black and white. This is bullying the person in the Woodward family, Maria, who is already dead. Is he trying to play dead?"
The more Mildred spoke, the more agitated she became. Her eyes were filled with grievance, and there were even tears in them.
As she spoke, she gave Josie, who was at the side, a look to signal her to think of a way.
Josie walked in front of the man and pretended to be a witness. "Reece, there must be some misunderstanding in this matter, right? I believe that my parents and sister are not the kind of people who would impersonate someone."
Although Josie had spoken for Mildred, her words were also clear to everyone else.
Even if what happened back then was exposed, she would not be implicated.
Unfortunately, Mildred and Josie only understood the meaning of the first part of the sentence. They even thought that Josie was still thinking about the Woodward family at such a critical moment. They all looked at Josie with a few more glances.
"Right, they are indeed not impersonators. They are just... trying to deceive us!" The man's face was so gloomy that it could be squeezed out of water!
Especially the anger burning in his scarlet red eyes, it was as if he was about to burn the Willian and his wife into a meat jerky!
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? I... I don't understand what you're talking about! Reece, you can't just blame the Woodward family for this just because of a few random words from someone else!"
Mildred tried her best to suppress her fear and refused to admit it.
The more stubborn she was, the uglier the man's expression became. His gaze was as deep as water, so cold that the temperature in the entire room plummeted.
"You want evidence?"
The man looked down at Mildred, who was stubbornly refusing to admit it, and his thin lips curled into a cold smile. "Alright, I'll give it to you!"
The moment he finished speaking, Reece's face darkened.
In an instant, the entire room seemed to have fallen into an icehouse in the Antarctic. The cold air around Mildred quickly surrounded her, and a layer of ice instantly formed on her back.
"Loran, bring me the thing I want in 15 minutes!"
The man dialed Loran's number and ordered in a cold voice.
"Sixth Brother, come to the Woodward family in fifteen minutes. Do you think I can teleport?"
The man ignored Loran's complaints on the other end of the phone and said expressionlessly, "I don't care how you come over. If you can't see the people and things I want in fifteen minutes, you can prepare for your funeral!"
Loran's back turned cold. "!!!"
Seeing that Reece was really angry, Loran didn't dare to play around anymore and quickly hung up the phone. He followed the man's instructions.
After all, he cherished his life!
He did not want to die young.
At this moment.
Mildred's face turned pale when she heard the man's conversation.
Her hands, which were nervously beside her, were sweating. Had Reece found out the truth about what happened back then?
No, it couldn't be.
Back then, she had spent money to bribe all the people who were in contact with Reece.
She did not believe that Reece could find any other evidence.
Time passed. Soon, thirteen minutes had passed.
There were only two minutes left until the agreed time.
The living room was silent. The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
The man on the sofa crossed his legs. Although he was sitting languidly, the noble aura and coldness that came with his body were extremely oppressive.
He lowered his head and glanced at the time on his wrist. He paused for a moment, but his fingers continued to tap on the armrest of the sofa.
Tap, tap, tap.
"...Phew, phew, phew, Sixth Brother, I've brought the person and the item!" At this moment, Loran ran in from outside while panting. He handed a memory card to the man.
Because he had been holding this memory card all the way, it was extremely hot.
Reece took it and his dark eyes turned a bit better. "Have you arrived?"
"Yes." Loran nodded.
The man looked at Mildred and asked again, "Are you sure that the person who protected me back then was Maria?"
"I... I..." Seeing the man's imposing manner, Mildred's confidence was instantly halved.
Her eyes were fixed on the black memory card in the man's hand, and her heart was beating fast.
Did he really find evidence?
No, it was impossible!
Back then, she had destroyed all the surveillance videos of Lydia's appearance in Reece's room.
Simply put, she had done everything perfectly. She didn't believe that Reece would be able to find anything out of it!
Thinking of this, Mildred's eyes were filled with determination. "I'm sure it was Maria who took care of you!"
Mildred's stubborn attitude had completely burned away Reece's remaining patience.
He gripped the memory card tightly in his hand and then threw it to Loran, who was standing at the side.
Loran immediately understood what he meant. He looked outside the door and said, "You can come in now."
Suddenly, many people entered the room.
These people were none other than the doctors, nurses, and nurses who had treated Reece when he was unconscious.
The man glanced at the nervous crowd and suppressed his coldness. "Don't be nervous. I called you all here today just to get to the bottom of this. I just want to know if the girl who was guarding my bed was Maria or Lydia."
"Chief Physician, please speak first."
The man raised his hand and pointed at the chief physician.
In an instant, all the eyes of the Woodward family fell on the chief physician's face.
The attending physician felt a chill down his spine. He swallowed his saliva and said, "Yes, it's Maria!"
"Oh? Then what about Nurse L?" The man's face turned ashen as he looked at the nurse at the side.
"It's Maria."
"Right, right, Maria. Miss Woodward had been by your side for half a month. In the end, she fainted from malnutrition and low blood sugar."
The men all agreed with each other. The man was so dark that he looked like he could eat someone alive. "Loran, this is what you prepared for me? You can now make a reservation for the graveyard!"
Loran, who was at the side, was so scared that he started to spit. He quickly went up to the man and whispered, "Sixth Brother, this..."
Seeing this scene, Mildred, who had her heart in her throat, secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Phew!
She knew that Reece would not be able to find any evidence.
With these people as witnesses, Mildred immediately felt confident.
She looked at the man on the sofa with dissatisfaction. "Reece, you don't believe me? Can you believe what these people said? Our Woodward family didn't lie to you. It was Maria who took care of you!"
"Reece, although I don't know why you don't believe us, don't you believe in my sister?"
Josie, who had been silent all this time, stood up. Her eyes were filled with tears. "Did you forget how much my sister loves you?"
When he mentioned Maria, the man did not soften down. Instead, he became even more serious. "I didn't forget, but... I really want to know if her love is honorable! If she has a clear conscience!"
"Reece, what do you mean by this?" Josie stared at the man's cold expression and felt a sense of unease in her heart.
"What do I mean? You will understand in a moment!" The man snorted coldly and looked at Loran again.
Loran quickly walked out and brought a girl with a hundred and eighty pound body and a ponytail with a pair of black glasses.
Mildred's face turned pale when she saw the plump girl.
At this moment, her body stiffened in guilt.
Her hands beside her started to tremble uncontrollably.
Naturally, Mildred's small movements were all seen by Reece.
He raised his eyebrows in a calm manner, "Auntie, do you know this doctor?"
"No... No, I don't know him." Mildred shook her head and purposely turned her face to the side, not wanting to meet this Doctor Mildred.
However, in the next second, Doctor Miao stood in front of her and smiled mockingly. "Mrs. Xia, you are so rich that you forget about me. Don't you remember me? I am the doctor who asked you to destroy Lydia's medical records and change her name to Maria. But I didn't agree, and you used your connections to expel me from the hospital!"
The girl's eyes were filled with indignation when she thought about what had happened back then.
"You... What nonsense are you talking about? I don't know you." Mildred's face was pale as she roared angrily, "You are slandering me! You are framing me!"
"You'll know if you watch this video!"
The girl snorted and pointed at the memory card in the man's hand.
Reece looked down at the memory card in his hand and inserted it into the computer. Then, he clicked the play button.
Slowly, the video started playing. It was none other than Lydia.
"Reece, I'm here again." In the video, Lydia's eyes were slightly red and her voice was hoarse.
"Reece, do you know that everyone is advising me to give up on you? But don't worry, I won't give up on you. No matter how long you want to sleep, I'll wait for you to wake up. Even if it's forever..."
"Because you are my life."
The video continued to play. It was mostly Lydia who was guarding Reece and muttering to herself.
It was only when Lydia fainted and the nurse rushed in that the video ended.
Seeing the video, Mildred shook her head in panic. "This must be an edited version of the video. It's not real!"
She had destroyed the surveillance video!
How could there still be a surveillance video?
This must be fake!
At this moment, Reece's heart ached as he focused on the face of Lydia in the video.
Especially her words, which were like nails stabbing into his heart. His heart felt like it was being torn apart, and his mind was filled with the coldness and revenge he had shown her.
His guilt was like a raging flood that completely drowned him. His hand, which was holding the memory card, trembled unconsciously.
He forced his gaze back from the video and looked at Mildred's face again. "These videos, Loran, have been appraised by someone. There is no editing at all!"
"…" Mildred shook her head in disbelief. How could this be possible?! No, there was no editing at all?
At this moment, the man on the sofa suddenly stood up.
He took a step towards Mildred. Mildred's heart skipped a beat. She was so panicked that she kept stepping back. "Reece, Reece, listen to my explanation."
"Explanation? Do you think I will believe you?"
"This…"
"The Woodward family is really good at deceiving me!" The man, who was concerned about Mildred's pale face, suddenly smiled. However, his smile was terrifying.
In the next second, his face darkened. The anger in his eyes was like a storm. "You have fooled me, Reece. You have hurt my woman again and again. The Woodward family will take the consequences!"
He was courting death!
He was determined to make them pay the price.
The man stood up and glanced at all the members of the Woodward family. He then walked out coldly. "Loran, I don't want to hear the words Woodward Group again tomorrow in Goulcrest. I don't want to hear it, and I don't want to see the disgusting Woodward family!"
