    Chapter 2055 Dead


    Roxanne returned to the manor in utter exhaustion.


    Lucian brought her a ss of warm water for her to drink. Then, he served her a bowl of mushroom soup.


    “Darling, what you need to do now is to stay calm. We will think of a way together to gather sufficient evidence.


    Perhaps we can ger some clues from Grant. We''ll go and talk to him again tomorrow to make him recall as many details as he


    can.


    Lucian remained collected. They could confirm that his mother-inw had died from a premeditated murder by poisoning. Still,


    there was no doubt they needed sufficient witnesses and physical evidence.


    “Honey, first, we must get the case filed. To do that, I''ve decided to exhume the body and perform an autopsy.”


    Tears uncontrobly streamed down Roxanne’s cheeks again when she uttered those words. Mom suffered so much when she


    was alive. Unexpectedly, her peace has to he disrupted even after she has passed on. All of this happened because of Grant’.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    In Roxanne''s memory, before Winnie, the mistress, entered their lives, her parents were already arguing all the time. Grant


    would lose his temper for no reason and constantly criticized her mother.


    Now, she realized Grant had been trying to force a divorce, but he had underestimated Roxanne''s mother''s


    commitment to rtionships and dedication to preserving the family.


    Hence, in the absence of any other means to force Roxanne''s birth mother to get a divorce from Grant, Winnie resorted to


    malicious methods.


    Lucian''s face was suddenly filled with sorrow as well.


    He had always harbored a regret in his heart for not having the chance to look after his mother-inw properly.


    from that day onward, regardless of the resources he had to expend, Lucian was determined to bring Winnie to justice.


    The couple fell silent for a few moments.


    Meanwhile, Elias and Sonya, who were upstairs, noticed Lucian and Roxanne had returned. They went downstairs to check on


    them, wanting to remind them that the weather was cold and that they should go to bed early.


    Unexpectedly, they sensed their son and daughter-inw''s mood was off, so they hurriedly asked what was going on.


    Elias and Sonya fell into a daze after they heard Lucian''s ount. They couldn’t believe their daughter-inw''s birth mother had


    suffered such a tragic fate.


    A few secondster, Sonya exploded with rage. “Lucian, no matter what, we must not let Winnie off the hook this time! Thar


    woman is too terrifying!”


    Elias, aposed and rational man, grimaced. “Lucian, tomorrow I''ll seek help from a friend of mine who is a senior police


    officer. Perhaps he has experience in this area.”


    Lucian and Roxanne nodded firmly.


    Roxanne, in particr, felt a surge of strength in her heart.


    With the support of her entire family, she had the courage to face whatever was toe.


    I''he two eldersforted Roxanne for a while longer, telling her to leave the children under their care so that she could deal with


    the issue al hand without worry. They also reminded her to always discuss any problems she encountered with everyone in the


    family.


    To reassure her parents-inw, Roxanne gradually pulled herself out of her dispirited mood, nodded, and urged them to go


    upstairs to sleep first.


    “Let''s go and take a hot shower for now. We II continue working hard again tomorrow.” Lucian held his wife''s hand and slowly


    moved upstairs together.


    At that moment, Roxanne''s phone suddenly rang.


    It was a call from the Jarvis residence''s housekeeper.


    She frowned. What''s up with Grant this time?


    After answering the call, she heard rhe housekeeper''s panicky voice. “Mrs. Farwell, something terrible


    happened! Mr. Jarvis took his own life!”


    Roxanne''s face froze in an instant.


    Lucian also arched his brows as astonishment filled his chest.


    1''hey had actually anticipated Grant''s death and were prepared for that day toe sooner orter.


    However, they never expected him to end his own life at that critical juncture.


    “Grant, you heartless beast! | just saved your life earlier today. | needed you to provide evidence, yet you voluntarily took your


    own life. You’re a coward and a sc*mbag! Do you intend to let my mom’s murder case slide just like this?” Roxanne suffered yet


    another episode of emotional breakdown.


    Her tears gushed out again while she hugged Lucian and sobbed in his arms.


    She wasn''t sad. Instead, all she fell was resentment as her hatred for Grant intensified.
