Chapter 836: CONCLUSION

Chapter 836: CONCLUSION

SORCHA burst into tears seeing her son plead for them like this. Richard also showed a pained look. If one could see what he was thinking now, they would see how he thought himself as a failure of a father.

Luo Yan watched all these as if watching a play. He even wanted to eat melon seeds if he could. But he still had to do his role. So, he helped Cian stand up.

“Do you remember what I told you earlier? Nothing bad will happen to your mother,” he said to Cian. “I’m a man of my words. So, you can rest assured that I will keep it.”

Cian looked at her in a daze. It’s as if he couldn’t understand what he’s saying.

“I’m a detective because I have always been fascinated by the truth. I’ve always upheld it to the highest degree. But this doesn’t mean that I would exact justice when the recipient didn’t deserve it.”

What Luo Yan meant was he didn’t think that Catherine deserved to be brought to justice. After all, in this whole fiasco, the one who had sinned the most was her. Luo Yan also didn’t care much about Saunders’ end. That guy had it coming. It’s already his good fortune that he managed to live for 20 more years instead of being hanged in the gallows.

That thing with George was only an attempted murder. Besides, he knew that Sorcha would come for the other and he’s confident that he would be able to stop it. So, really. Was there a need to punish this couple who had already suffered enough?

Luo Yan was not a saint who would indignantly uphold justice. Not to mention, this was still the holographic world. What’s wrong with giving these people a happy ending?

Besides, the game system didn’t tell them to punish anyone. It just wanted them to know the truth of what happened 20 years ago. And he believed that they had already uncovered everything.

“If everyone here agrees, we can blame everything that happened here to an unknown killer,” he said, looking at everyone one by one. “Richard Harcourt had already died in record. Sorcha Harcourt had long immigrated to America. There’s no reason for the two to be here. The one burnt to death was William Harcourt, not the driver, Saunders.”

That last part made some of the NPCs gasped. Probably because they had already forgotten about this burnt body. But now that they thought about it, if that body didn’t belong to William Harcourt, then who could it be? Now, it was suddenly revealed that it’s actually Saunders. Of course, they would be shocked.

But when they thought of the other’s involvement with the events that happened 20 years ago, they felt that Saunders deserved what happened to him. One should know that William Harcourt and Sean were not the only victims of that explosion. Some servants also suffered grave injuries. Unable to work and soon faced early deaths. Saunders might have as well killed them with his own hands.

“If anyone here has any opinion about my decision, please do tell me the reason.”

After Luo Yan said that, almost everyone glanced at where Daphne was sitting. The other had been silent this whole time. Considering that this involved her mother, it’s only right to ask her opinion. Even though Catherine was like the reincarnation of evil, it didn’t change the fact that she was Daphne’s mother.

He wasn’t too worried though. Daphne was ‘one of the four’. Which meant she wouldn’t really care about Catherine.

“I—I have no opinion,” Daphne said. “I understand what my mother did was wrong. Therefore, I wouldn’t say anything about this. I would also help you deal with my father. But—” She looked at Richard and Sorcha. “That doesn’t mean that I forgive you for killing my mother. Maybe I won’t ever.”

Luo Yan raised one of his brows. It seemed this one still knew how to play her part well. Her acting was very delicate. Showing her dedication to her ‘role’. Luo Yan could only smile inwardly seeing this.

“We are not so shameless as to ask that from you,” Richard said. “But we will also not apologize for what we did.”

Daphne only nodded.

“Now that we cleared that, I believed—”

“Wait!” Edward suddenly shouted, cutting off whatever Luo Yan was about to say. He turned to Richard. “I understand your hatred against Catherine. But why me as well? I know that you plan to push what happened today to the two of us. That’s why you stuffed me in that hidden passage, making it look like I ran away with a guilty conscience. I—I was never involved in what happened 20 years ago? So, why? Why punish me like this?”

When Edward said that last part, his voice hitched, as if there was a sudden lump in his throat. His expression was full of grievance and underlying sadness, maybe even anger.

Richard looked at the other with a straight face. “Because you’re a bystander. You knew from early on that there was something wrong with Catherine. You’ve seen her do things that a normal girl her age wouldn’t do. But you just turned a blind eye to it. Knowing you, you probably even snickered behind our backs, thinking that we’re all stupid for not realizing it. That’s why I want to punish you.”

Edward was speechless hearing this. But he couldn’t refute the other. Because it was indeed the truth. He looked like he wanted to defend himself. But at the end, he only closed his eyes tightly and said;

“Regarding what happened to Catherine, I have no opinion. You can all do whatever you want.”

After Edward said that, everyone else followed.

Cian turned to his parents and hugged them. The family of three huddled together and shed tears. A lot of emotions flashing on their faces.

[Ding! Congratulations to team Yunyue for successfully solving the mystery of what happened 20 years ago!]
