Chapter 496


    Joanna was horrified when she heard this


    Meanwhile, Samantha recalled something and said, “Didn’t she leave with Jimmy? Do you think she


    was…


    ||


    Joanna suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and both women trembled from the horrifying image in


    their heads.


    While bath of them were silent, Adrian said, “Find out what happened and report to me the moment you


    find out something This may be a case linked to me.”


    “Yes, sir.”


    Adrian continued to drive to jewel Hoad after hanging up


    Joanna sat up and leaned in toward him. “You don’t think Jimmy’s behind this, do you? It’s obvious that


    someone was attracted by Abigail’s looles and…”


    Adrian replied, “It’s a possibility, but let’s not jump to conclusions before we find out the truth.”


    Samantha asked, “Will you be able to find out what happened?”


    Adrian nodded. “We should be able to within the hour. There are surveince cameras throughout


    Swallowston so we’ll be able to deduce who the culprit is based on who Abigail was with and who went


    to the outskirts with her. It shouldn’t be too


    difficult.”


    Joanna took a deep breath and leaned back into the seat. “I really hope this hasn’t anything to do with


    Jimmy. My father’s life will bepletely ruined if he’s the culprit.”


    Rue had already prepared dinner by the time the trio arrived home. A woman with a beautiful figure


    rushed out and hugged Samantha the moment thetter entered the living room. “Sam


    Samantha was surprised but immediately felt relieved when she recognized the woman. “Ada? What


    are you doing back home from campus? Why didn’t you call beforehand?”


    The woman was none other than Adaline, who was now giggling away as she squatted in front of


    Samantha. Then, she flipped up Samantha’s shirt to reveal her belly.


    “Do you have any idea how excited I was when Mother told me you’re pregnant?! I’m going to have a


    nephew to y with very soon!”


    Rue rushed out of the kitchen and reprimanded Adaline when she saw this. “What are you doing, Ada?!


    Hehave yourself and stop touching Sam”


    Rue showed favoritism toward her unborn grandchild and treated the baby like a little treasure.


    Adaline pursed her lips when she heard this and helped Samantha onto the couch. With a smile, she


    said, “You have to take good care of yourself, Sam. You’re more important than ever in our family right


    now.”


    As Samantha chuckled, Adaline turned to Adrian and said, “You better make sure you take care of


    Sam, Adrian. She’s carrying your child now after all.”


    “Of course, I will!” Adrian replied.


    At that inoment, Adrian’s cell phone rang again, revealing it to be Daniel once more.


    “Have you managed to find out what happened?”


    “We’ve tested the fingerprints, saliva, and all other traces left an Abigail Drake’s corpse. We can now


    confirm that she was. murdered by Jimmy DuPont.”


    “So, it’s really him…”


    Adrian was surprised for a moment before becontinued, “Don’t make any moves and keep this quiet for


    the moment. Jimmy wille to me of his own ord.”

    “Understood, sit.”


    After hanging up the call, Adrian turned toward Joanna and said, “Joja, we’ve identified the murderer.


    It’s Jimmy.”


    “What?!” joanna’s eyes opened wide with shock


    Samantha gasped, “It really was him? His life is over now… It’s as you said, Jojo. Your father’s life is


    ruined!”


    Joanna asked, “What are you going to do about this, Adrian?”


    “You should probably prepare yourself for the worse.”


    Samantha added, “This might be a good thing for you, Jojo. Your father will only have you now that


    Jimmy is in huge trouble.


    Who knows? You two might even be able to reconcile.”


    “Forget it. I’ll never forgive my father for the rest of my life. I’ll never reconcile with him!”
