Chapter 640: I Caused Your Mother's Death
A complex mix of mockery and sorrow colored Russell Hunter's expression.
"Mom, the husband you loved deeply, the sister you cared for and looked after... not only did they betray you, they were even the ones who killed you."
He hated it so much. If only he had been able to detect everything back then, if only he hadn't trusted Rogelio Hunter as wholeheartedly as his mother did back then... could he have protected her?
"Ru... Russell, I didn't, I really didn't..." Rogelio still tried to struggle.
At that moment, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly approached.
Rogelio turned to look.
He saw two of Russell's subordinates escorting a dejected-looking man over.
Seeing this man, Rogelio frowned slightly.
He felt this man looked somewhat familiar...
A moment later, his face suddenly
Changed , terror flooding his entire being, his legs almost unable to stand.
This man... was the nutritionist for Russell's mother, Sandra Cooper, back then!
It was this man he had bribed to tamper with Sandra's diet.
That's why Sandra's health had deteriorated more and more.
He had also bribed the family doctor, performing a duet with the doctor, completely fooling Sandra, making her believe she truly had a terminal illness. In the end, she left this world, filled with reluctance towards them.
Rogelio never imagined that after so many years, Russell could still find this man!
"Mr. Hunter, we've brought him," a subordinate said to Russell.
Russell gave a faint "Hmm."
Back when Jasmine Hunter told him it was Rogelio who caused his mother's death, he had been so shocked he fainted and was taken to the hospital.
But after waking up, he began to recall the events of that year.
He remembered the nutritionist by Sandra's side back then, and the family doctor.
He vaguely remembered that these two people had resigned and left not long after Sandra passed away.
At that time, immersed in the grief of his mother's death, he naturally wouldn't have paid attention to such matters.
But now, thinking back, it seemed suspicious.
So he had people investigate the whereabouts of these two individuals.
The family doctor had passed away two years ago.
As for this nutritionist, when they found him, he was leisurely sitting in his own shop.
After they revealed their identity, the nutritionist was instantly terrified. Covering his head, he shivered and stammered, "It's here... it's finally come... I knew it, how could I have gotten away so easily? Retribution... retribution is coming.."
In his extreme fright, he spilled everything about what happened back then.
Back then, it was Rogelio who bribed him, gave him a large sum of money, to tamper with Sandra's diet.
Sandra had trusted him deeply and had always been very good to him. At the time, he had been very hesitant.
But in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of money.
Because Rogelio offered too much.
And Rogelio had promised another large sum after the deed was done.
Later, after Sandra passed away, Rogelio kept his promise, giving him another large sum and telling him to leave quickly.
He took the money, went to a remote small town, opened a shop, planning to spend the rest of his life there.
Usually, he seemed leisurely and happy, but deep in the night, he would often have nightmares, dreaming of Sandra weeping and questioning him why he had to kill her, her cries blood-curdling.
Countless times, he woke up from nightmares, then stayed awake until dawn.
Moreover, as time passed, he knew Russell was - gradually growing up.
Sometimes, seeing Russell in the news would make his heart pound with fear.
If Russell ever found out about what happened back then, what would he do? He would definitely seek revenge!
He endured day after day in this state of terror, waiting, waiting...
After Russell's people came for him, the terror in his heart completely erupted.
Now, seeing Sandra's tombstone, the nutritionist completely broke down.
His legs went weak, and he directly knelt down, weeping bitterly before the tombstone.
"Madam, I wronged you, I shouldn't have been blinded by greed, causing you to leave at such a young age! Madam..."
Someone nearby kicked him and said coldly,
"Speak! Who ordered you to do it!"
"It was Mr. Hunter, it was him!" The
nutritionist pointed at Rogelio. "Also, Jasmine Hunter! Actually, she knew about this too. It was the two of them who plotted it together!"
That's right. Rogelio was the mastermind, and Jasmine was involved too. Back then, she had even given the nutritionist ideas, discussing with him how to make Sandra's body weaken faster.
She wanted to harm her own biological sister.
The nutritionist had been utterly shocked by this, so even after so many years, he remembered it clearly.
Jasmine no longer even had the strength to refute. Her body swayed unsteadily, tears streaming down madly.
It wasn't regret. but fear.
It wasn't regret, but fear.
As for Rogelio, looking at this nutritionist, he wanted to say this man was lying, but now, memories from that year surged up like madness.
Suddenly, he felt he couldn't even open his mouth.
He wanted to say something to Russell.
But Russell stood right before the tombstone.
Whenever he looked at Russell, he could see Sandra's photo on the tombstone.
In the photo, she was still smiling gently and warmly.
Just like back then.
Suddenly, a fierce gust of wind blew.
Rogelio could barely keep his eyes open, his feet almost unable to stand firm.
This intensified the fear in his heart.
Was it Sandra?
Was it Sandra... Had she returned?
The fierce wind didn't last long.
When the wind stopped, Rogelio shakily opened his eyes to look.
More tHartman half of the circle of white candles placed around the tombstone had already been extinguished.
He suddenly lost all strength and fell heavily to his knees.
"Russell... I'm sorry, it was me... I caused your mother's death..."
Of course, Russell couldn't directly kill Rogelio and Jasmine.
He had his legal team file lawsuits against both of them and the nutritionist, while also having people continue to gather evidence from that year.
Although all three had confessed now, whether they might suddenly retract their statements in court was still uncertain.
Russell was determined to make them rot in
prison.
He wanted the remainder of their days to be spent in prison, repenting for the sins they committed.
Of course, he would find ways to make their lives in prison a hundred times more miserable tHartman others.
He didn't deliberately have people conceal this matter.
So news of it quickly spread everywhere.
- Even Adeline Hensley, far away in Yewhaina, found out.
Looking at the reports in the news, her gaze was complicated.
So it was actually Rogelio and Jasmine who caused Sandra Cooper's death.
She remembered once before, in Marifort City, she had gone with Russell to pay respects at his mother's grave.
Russell had said a lot back then.
He missed his mother verv much.
He missed his mother very much.
And now, he had learned such a cruel truth.
The pain in his heart was probably something others couldn't comprehend.
Suddenly, a familiar shadow fell over her, followed by a familiar voice. "What are you looking at?"
