The Return Of the Invincible Heiress
Chapter 234

Chapter 234: Chapter 234

Of course. Avery had her analysis and judgment on this issue, but she had to hear what the person involved had to say.

Alexander looked ahead.

"My mother was not a weak person. She didn’t miss Nicolas at all."

"However, a marriage between such big families is never a matter of oneself. A slight move can affect the entire situation."

"If my mother divorced Nicolas, the Moran family would never let her take my sister and me away. That was something she couldn’t accept."

That was the answer that Avery expected. Alexander and Lucy were outstanding. They were both rare beauties and geniuses. The Moran family would never let them go.

Alexander continued, "Also, the Patterson family was declining and needed the Moran family’s support. If my mother divorced Nicolas, the Moran family might stop supporting the Patterson family."

"According to the marriage agreement, if my mother wanted a divorce, she had to return all the Moran Group’s shares. The most my mother could take away might only be a large sum."

Avery sighed softly and thought, ’The answer is exactly what I’ve expected. An arranged marriage does people great harm.’

She thought it over and asked, "How could Farrah be sure she could marry Nicolas once your mother was out of the picture?"

Alexander instantly understood what she meant.

"You’re thinking who benefited the most from my mother’s death?"

It’s easy to talk to smart people, Avery thought.

Avery nodded.

"I can’t see through the murderer’s motive.

"In this case, Farrah is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary, but she isn’t smart enough to plan this case."

"The murderer killed your mother, but Farrah benefited from it. It’s too strange."

Farrah was too high-profile and too simple-minded. If she were to plan such a case, it would be full of loopholes.

"You’re right," Alexander nodded.

"I once suspected that Farrah was the mastermind, or that someone loved Farrah deeply and tried to murder my mother to let Farrah take over.

"But I’ve investigated for a long time. Indeed, many people are obsessed with Farrah, but no one can do such things."

"I even hypnotized and polygraphed Farrah. She doesn’t know who the mastermind is."

"Yes," Avery said, "someone planning this case must have the information about Nicolas’s many lovers. This person must know the inside of your family very well and be able to move freely in your family. This person must know your mother well enough".

"This person can only be someone from your family. It can be someone close to your mother or Nicolas. It can also be a servant with a certain status who has been in the Moran family for a long time."

"From the looks of it, the murderer’s motive is not to be Nicolas’s wife. And the murderer didn’t attack Farrah. So, the murderer didn’t do it out of jealousy."

Avery thought, If I can think of it, Alexander must have thought of it after so many years of investigation.

After moments of silence, Alexander said,

"My mother was well-educated, gentle, and kind. She had been a housewife after marriage and didn’t participate in the company’s matters. I’ve investigated for a long time, but I can’t find anyone with whom she had a blood feud."

Avery was silent as she thought. The case is indeed strange. No wonder Alexander is still unable to identify the mastermind till now.

A few seconds later, Alexander said calmly,

"The onlooker sees the bigger picture. If Lockwood could help investigate the case, there might be discoveries."

He paused.

"I’ll get Louis to collate all the information my sister and I have been investigating for so many years and send it all to you."

Avery looked at Alexander sideways and said softly,

"After I read it, I will only note some points worth paying attention to and will delete the rest of the information."

Alexander indeed doesn’t hold anything back from me.’ I will do my best to return the favor, ’Avery thought. ’I swear to do everything to find the mastermind behind Maggie’s case!’

After saying that, they fell silent in the car.

It was not until the car drove into the Mid-Level Mountain Garden and stopped in front of the Carter family’s villa that Alexander said,

"Boundary Strike is screening. Would you like to go to the movie together?"

Avery took off her mask and smiled.

"Sure."

Avery clicked on her phone as soon as she entered. Just as she had expected, Boundary Strike had gone viral after its release.

Not only did the film receive high marks on ticketing platforms, social media websites, and media forums, but the box office and pre-sales also showed the enthusiasm of audiences.

The movie’s first-day attendance, screening rate, box office share, and pre-sales for the next day were outstanding, reaching the best record in the past five years.

Professional platforms and forecasting agencies estimated that the film would eventually gross nearly 600 million dollars.

Many viewers and fans were even frantically trying to recommend the movie on various social media platforms.

Undoubtedly, the director received countless praises. The main actors, including famous stars and veteran actors, successfully maintained their fandom and attracted more followers.

However, the one who benefited the most was Zayn. The audience was impressed by this young actor who had appeared out of nowhere and put on great fighting scenes for half an hour.

A female viewer screamed,

"Oh my god, look at the tough guys and abs. I’m drooling! However, the one with the best figure is Mighty Wolf. He’s not as burly as a gorilla, and his chest muscles are not so horrible. He also has long legs. I love it."

A male viewer commented,

"[This is a real man! This is a tough man! He’s unyielding, masculine, and righteous, unlike those ***ys...]"

Some movie fans expressed,

"[As a veteran action movie enthusiast, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a realistic, tragic, and beautiful fighting scene! This young actor’s fighting is no worse than any Hollywood action movie. I’m amazed!]"

A netizen exclaimed,

"[My friend is a special police officer. He said this person is an expert in using guns in reality. The scene of Mighty Wolf dismantling a gun blindfolded and assembling it was not a special effect. His technique is very skilled and professional. He must have been trained for a long time. Uh, he might have killed someone.]"

A film critic wrote,

"[I’ve watched the scene of him firing a sniper rifle a hundred times. Please follow his performance in future gunfights. Thank you!]"

On this day, the news of Boundary Strike’s popular release, box office, and reviews occupied more than ten trending topics.

The news that went up to the second place on the overall rankings was,

"[Murderer on the run got shot by Mighty Wolf and fainted in the cinema.]"

The content was as follows:

One of the scenes in Boundary Strike was Zayn’s character, Mighty Wolf, lying on the ground, holding a sniper rifle and firing a fatal shot at the terrorist leader 0.5 miles away.

Zayn had a close-up from the front in the shot. In the close-up, Zayn’s gaze was as dark as an abyss, as sharp as a blade, as firm as a rock, and as cold as an iceberg.

He stared at the camera with the same black, cold gun muzzle facing Mighty Wolf’s gaze and muzzle.

When the audience was facing the screen, it felt as if the bullet was fired at them. Many felt like they were shot, and their hearts almost stopped beating.

The audiences shared,

"[At that time, there were the most screams. I saw the people in front dodging to the side...]"

At that moment, one guy fell to the ground, clutching his chest and shouting,

"Help, I’m shot. I’m dying..."

The audience thought the guy was acting and criticized him for being too dramatic.

However, the guy kept struggling on the ground but could not get up, no matter what. He could not even speak clearly.

The person beside him finally felt something was wrong, quickly went to help him up, and called the ambulance.

When the medical staff arrived, they said the guy had suffered too much shock, causing his blood pressure to soar and his heart to paralyze.

After resuscitation, the medical staff took the guy to the hospital.

Some people recognized the guy as a wanted criminal on the run for three years.

This guy had been in a terrorist operation and was wanted for killing innocent civilians.

After receiving the call, the police rushed over and arrested the wanted criminal.

When the news came out, the name Zayn Carter went viral online.
