The Return Of the Invincible Heiress
Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Chapter 74

However, there was no one in sight. More than ten men in suits split up. Some entered the house to search, while others searched the courtyard.

The girl in charge of the live broadcast said, "Let’s take a look in the house."

Everyone’s eyes were following the camera, afraid they would miss a key clue.

At the end of the second row on the right side of the stage, a bespectacled man was playing with a lighter in his hand. His eyes were fixed on Alexander, and he was smiling victoriously.

’Alexander must think he’s very secretive,’ he thought.

In fact, this afternoon, he had been spying on Alexander as soon as his private jet landed at the private airfield in Valemont City. He had set up many ambushes on their way to the city to make sure things went as planned.

In the end, his men successfully kidnapped "Lucy" and interrogated her about her experiences over the past five years. "Lucy" put on an attitude that said, ’I don’t believe you dare to attack.’

His men, who were wearing hoods, threatened to take indecent photos of her and destroy her face. She was afraid and revealed the secret that she was a fake.

When he heard this secret, he was shocked and immediately told Richard. Richard asked him to secretly bring this woman to the press conference and expose Alexander’s scam in public.

At the same time, he asked him to bribe this woman with a lot of money to make her cooperate with their plan. This woman was very greedy. In the face of huge benefits, she was tempted and revealed more details.

Richard was very satisfied when he heard that. He immediately ordered the people in Aeloria to rush to the woman’s residence and planned everything. He was sure Alexander was doomed this time.

At this moment, Alexander had just finished extracting blood samples with his sister and father. He instructed Louis to send his sister to rest.

When the lighter man saw this scene, he stood up excitedly and shouted, "Lucy can’t leave before things come to light!"

Alexander and Lucy turned their heads in unison and stared at him coldly. They did not speak immediately.

Everyone at the scene looked at him in surprise.

"Who is this person? Is he a Moran?" someone questioned.

"He’s so young. He should be a nobody in the Moran family and the Moran Group."

"Even the elders of the Moran family didn’t say anything. Who is he to speak? Isn’t he afraid of offending Alexander?"

When the lighter man heard everyone’s discussion, his face contorted slightly. His jealousy and hostility toward Alexander grew even stronger. He added harshly, "We’ve just started investigating the fake Lucy, and the real Lucy is trying to escape!"

Alexander strode forward and stared at the lighter man across the first row. He said slowly, "James, you know that my sister is sick. She spent nearly 20 hours flying from Aeloria to Valemont City. She is very tired."

"The doctors have already taken her blood and verified her identity. She can’t do anything here. Why do you insist that she, a patient, sit on the stage under the light and the stares of so many people? She won’t get any peace. What are your intentions?"

His gaze was sharp and cold.

James Moran subconsciously avoided his gaze and said in a weaker voice, "But this is a critical moment..."

"This is between me and Richard. You have no right to say anything," Alexander said coldly. "As long as Richard has no objections."

Without even looking at Richard, he asked, "Richard, do you have any objections?"

Richard didn’t want people to think he was bullying a patient. "As long as your sister doesn’t leave the hotel."

Alexander stared at James and said, word by word, "James, if you dare to say another word that makes things difficult for my sister, I’ll take it that you intend to be my enemy."

The entire venue fell silent. No one dared to speak.

The expert, who was engrossed in the DNA test, glanced up at Alexander. The live-stream platform also gave Alexander a huge close-up of his face.

In front of the television, Arthur exclaimed and patted his chest. "His eyes are so scary. I’m scared."

Josie said with sparkling eyes, "Alexander is so handsome, like an actor."

Avery and Arthur looked at her, thinking she was too young for those types of shows.

On the television screen, James’s expression changed drastically. His body stiffened, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

None of Alexander’s enemies ended up well. He did not want to meet the same fate. However, with so many people watching, he could not afford to lose face.

Believing Alexander was going to lose today, James decided not to give in. Hence, he wanted to fight head-on.

However, at this moment, Richard hit the ground hard with his walking stick and scolded sternly, "James, sit down. If you dare to say another word, I’ll get someone to throw you out."

James did not have the guts to oppose Richard, so he sat down.

Alexander glared at him for the last time and walked back to Lucy. "Louis, send my sister to rest. Don’t let anyone disturb her. Whoever dares, cripple them and throw them in jail."

Everyone was shocked by Alexander’s protectiveness of his sister. Also, people could tell that James had offended Alexander. Without Richard’s protection in the future, it would be difficult for James to stay in the Moran Group.

In front of the television, Arthur looked at Alexander with a trace of admiration and envy.

"Cripple them and send them to jail? That’s too violent. I like it."

He turned to look at Avery and said seriously, "Avery, if you encounter such a thing in the future, I will do the same."

Avery was speechless. Then, she chuckled. "If you encountered such a thing, I would do the same. But I won’t go to jail if I cripple someone else."

James’s little episode ended just like that.

Everyone’s attention was on the live broadcast in Aeloria.

Richard ordered through the phone, "Search! Search carefully. Don’t let go of any corner."

To everyone’s surprise, there was nothing in the room.

To be precise, apart from the most basic furniture and appliances, there were no personal or household items in the house.

The shoe cabinet was empty. There were no flowers in the vase, no water in the cups, no food in the kitchen or refrigerator. There was no tea, bread, oil, or salt.

There wasn’t even a hint of grease on the stove.

In the room on the second floor, there were no clothes, jewelry, sheets, or pillows. There was no toothbrush or towel in the bathroom.

In short, it was empty everywhere. There were no traces of human life.

Other than Richard’s men, there was not even a cat in the entire mansion, let alone Alexander’s people.

Everyone looked at Richard.

Richard’s expression had already turned bad. He ordered, "Ask the neighbors around and check the surveillance cameras."
