The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 380

Liam seemed stunned by his own actions and stood in place for a while before going down to check on Natalie. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

She was lying on the ground motionlessly, and he put his finger under her nose to check if she was still breathing. Then, he hesitated for 15 minutes before picking up his phone to call an ambulance.

Seeing that he did not call the police immediately, tears welled up in Paige's eyes.

She knew what happened from then on.

When Natalie was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, she'd asked Liam about it. However, he said that Natalie fell down the stairs because of her sudden illness, and she was currently unconscious.

Natalie was in a coma even after being sent to the hospital. The next morning, she passed away.

Paige had always thought that her mother's cause of death was from falling from the stairs. After watching the footage, she realized the truth was far from her expectations.

Natalie was pushed down the stairs by Liam. If he did not hesitate for more than ten minutes and called for help immediately, Natalie might have woken up from her coma because she was treated in time.

Therefore, Julie and Paxton, who wanted to secretly poison her IV drip, would not succeed.

However, there was no point in thinking about the 'what if's'. Liam probably hoped that Natalie died, right?

This way, he could officially take over the Anderson Group, and he could officially go public with Julie and Sophia.

She also wondered what Julie said to Natalie to provoke her. Could she have confessed to Natalie that she was cheating with Liam?

Natalie should have been furious when she found out that he had cheated on her, so she wanted a divorce.

However, he did not want his plan to go to waste, so he begged for forgiveness on his knees, but she did not give in to his pleas.

That was why Liam wanted to kill her!

Paige clenched her jaw tightly at the thought of this. Liam, Julie, and Paxton were all responsible for Natalie's death.

She must get justice for her mother!

Meanwhile, Paxton was not confessing, and Julie was in a coma. It was impossible for Liam to convict them based on his own words.

Joseph had arranged for people to check all the drugstores in the city to find the person who had bought Natalie's poison.

The specific poison was not a common item because there was no reason to use it other than to cause death. Therefore, it would be easy to trace the poison back to the person who bought it, and they would find the connection to Julie and Paxton.

After getting that done, Joseph made a copy of the CCTV footage and went back to the police station with Paige.

Liam was brought out of his cell. He thought that he was going to be interrogated again, so he rehearsed countless times in his mind to deal with any type of question.

Basically, he was clueless about the whole situation. He had already told them what he wanted to say. He also came up with a reason behind why he tortured Julie.

The worst case scenario would be getting sentenced a few years in jail, but he was not afraid of that.

In this society, money was omnipotent.

Although he had no shares, he made a lot of money from the stocks he sold. When the time came, Kyrie could help him out. At most, he would be put in prison for a period of time. After that, he would use the excuse of poor health to leave the cell and receive medical treatment.

By then, Julie and Paxton would be locked up in the prison, and he would find an isolated place where

he could enjoy life alone.

When he entered the interrogation room, his eyes met with Paige's furious ones, and he took a step back in fear. "P-Paige, why are you here?"

"I'm here to ask why you were so cruel? Why did you push my mom down the stairs! Why did you hesitate to help her afterward?"

Her question made him take another step back. He subconsciously argued, "What are you talking about? I don't understand you! How could I push your mother?"

Although he panicked, his first instinct was that this was a trap.

On the day of Natalie's accident, Paige was not at home. Only he knew the fact that he was the one who pushed her down the stairs, and he also deleted all the CCTV footage related to it. No one else should know about it.

He hadn't told anyone, so how could they have known this?

The next second, Paige took a step closer.

"You don't understand me, huh? Why are you pretending to be confused? Do you think that everything will be fine just because you deleted the footage? Listen, I already restored the deleted footage, and I know what you did that day!"

He still didn't believe her. Joseph, who had been silent for a long time, took out a copy of the file.

"Everything you've done is in this file. Liam, you pushed her down the stairs but didn't call an ambulance immediately. You hesitated for 15 minutes! I can't believe you would do this to your wife. You are so cruel!"

"How... How is this possible?" His face turned pale in an instant.

"Tell me! Tell me why Julie went to see her mother. What did she say to her? And why did you kneel down to plead with her? Why did you push her down the stairs? Are you really unsure about the cause of her death? I don't think so!"

Joseph approached him with a sneer. Then, Liam stepped back till he was stopped by the wall. "I didn't do it on purpose. I admit that I pushed her, but her death really has nothing to do with me!"

"Really?" Joseph sneered. "Are you that determined to stay silent? I'm giving you a chance to confess now, but you won't have any more chances after that. Declan is more stubborn than you, right? However, I made him obediently confess to everything, so I can do the same to you! You'd better do what I say before I lose my patience!"

"Declan confessed to... you... Who are you? How is that possible?" Sweat appeared on his forehead. Declan was more powerful than him and had the support of the Saunders family. What was he compared to Declan?

Liam was extremely flustered. He looked at Paige and said, "Paige, I didn't mean to push her! I admitted that I was sorry for having an affair! I accept that I was a b*stard at the time for hesitating, but I really didn't want her to die... Paige, no matter what, I'm your father! How could you bear to see me in jail at this age?"

Paige remained silent and Joseph laughed.

"It's useless to use family as an excuse now.

I'll tell you one more thing. You are probably wondering who sent you the proof of Julie's affair, right? It was me! So do you think you can hide?"

His words shocked him. He could not figure out who sent him the photos and recordings, so he broke into cold sweat after hearing Joseph confess.

Joseph must have known that he was not biologically related to Paige, too.

What should he do now?
