The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 444

Chapter 444: Chapter 444: Wishing There Be No More Human Trafficking in the Mortal Realm

Scarlett Jennings’ words made the old lady speechless instantly, while Collins Clark, next to her, was in disbelief, looking at his own mother, his expression almost dazed.

"Just because of this... because of this... indeed, I killed my daughter... I harmed Ellie and almost hurt Peace..."

Collins Clark murmured, suddenly collapsing as he knelt down on the ground, this grown man sobbing like a child.

The old lady looked at her son’s sudden breakdown and her heart ached instantly.

"How is this any of your business?! It’s all because your damned wife instigated it! She, a woman, isn’t thinking about having more children to continue the Clark Family line, always thinking about some job. Wasn’t it just fine for the past few years, she quit and stayed at home to take care of the children..."

Collins Clark, initially wailing in pain, heard his mother’s words and couldn’t control himself anymore and roared at her.

"That’s because you killed our first child!! Eleanor was afraid something would happen to the child again so she gave up work to stay at home and take care of the child!! It’s clearly your fault! You killed my child! That child always called you grandma!!"

Collins Clark’s face showed visible collapse and despair; his own mother was the culprit who killed his child, plunging him into endless torment.

The old lady was stunned for a moment by her son’s roar, unable to believe that her usually filial son would shout at her like this.

"You are shouting at me... all for a useless girl... I am your own mother! Do you think I would harm you?"

The old lady’s words rendered the policemen nearby and the viewers in front of the live stream speechless.

Collins Clark continued to roar in desperation and collapse, but the old lady, perhaps worried her son was too agitated, softened her tone.

"Am I such a cruel person? What happened to Ellie was an accident, and Peace... I didn’t mean to harm her, right? She has been found safe and sound, yet you still blame me..."

Towards the end, she even felt wronged.

Ariel Zimmerman couldn’t help but mock, "So we should thank you for not killing your little granddaughter?"

Just as Ariel Zimmerman uttered these words, the old lady glared at her venomously, "I’m talking to my son, what’s it to you?!"

Ariel Zimmerman was startled by her glare and instinctively took a step back, while Gregory Xander, seeing this, stepped forward expressionlessly, blocking her.

After the last encounter, he’d realized the fragility of this young girl.

The old lady’s venomous gaze earlier, what if she scared someone to tears again?

Scarlett Jennings also stepped forward, blocking the old lady’s gaze, looking at her before speaking.

"You didn’t directly kill your second granddaughter because her mother was too protective, you had no opportunity to act, and you were worried another move would arouse suspicion and get caught, so you sought out human traffickers to clear yourself of involvement."

She paused before continuing.

"As for how you connected with those traffickers... did you contact the same trafficker who sold the child to your family back then?"

Scarlett Jennings’ words left the policemen present surprised and looking at her, causing Collins Clark to appear dumbfounded, prompting Officer Yuan to directly ask her.

"Miss Jennings, what do you mean?"

Scarlett Jennings pointed at the old lady and stated.

"Her younger brother was kidnapped by traffickers, and all these years she has maintained contact with that trafficker’s family."

Even though many years had passed, that trafficker’s family may have ceased operations, they still have their "connections," and the old lady used that family to connect with the trafficker gang today.

The policemen didn’t expect this child abduction case to first lead to another child’s murder case and now the revelation of a kidnapping case decades earlier.
