The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 377

At the Saunders family estate, Savannah was woken up by several knocks on the door. She impatiently got out of bed and opened it. Her servant, Dixie Baker, came in.

"Madam, something bad happened. Paxton was caught!" Dixie was also abruptly awakened by a call from Paxton's friends. They told her that Paxton had been caught, but Dixie didn't take it seriously because she thought that he would be released soon due to his connections to Savannah. However, his friends told her that the situation was not so simple. Paxton got into big trouble this time, and he was involved in a homicide case.

Upon hearing that, she panicked and immediately came to Savannah for a solution.

Savannah frowned when she saw Dixie's panicked demeanor. "This isn't the first time he got caught. Why are you so flustered?"

"No... It's not the same this time! Madam, he got into big trouble!" Dixie lowered her voice

"I heard his friends say that Liam was involved this time, and he accused Paxton and Julie of murder."

Savannah's expression changed. "What? Why would Liam suddenly want to accuse him?"

"It's all because of that b*tch, Julie!" Dixie pushed the blame on Julie. "She kept shamelessly hooking up with Paxton even though she was with Liam, and Paxton gave in to her temptation and fell into her trap. When Liam found out about their relationship, he plotted for revenge, Savannah wasn't a fool. She sneered and said, "There's no need to beat around the bush with me. Just tell me the true reason and explain everything clearly. Only then can I think of a way to save him. Otherwise, there's nothing I can do!"

Dixie realized that she was not easy to fool, so she had no other choice but to tell the truth. "Julie is pregnant with Paxton's child, so the two of them planned to use the child to trick Liam into letting the child inherit his property. But Liam found out about the truth..."

"I'm speechless! Have I not helped him enough after all these years? Why can't he just live an honest life? Why did something like this have to happen? I'm so mad! Greedy is not enough to describe people like you." Savannah was livid.

Dixie lowered her head and said, "Madam, what should we do now? If they were to investigate Natalie's case again, the consequences are unimaginable!"

"What's so terrible about that? People should be responsible for what they have done.

Whoever was involved should be punished, right?" Savannah looked at her with a cold smile. Was Dixie, a mere servant, trying to threaten her?

She was the eldest daughter of the Dawson family and the first wife of the Saunders family. How could she be threatened by a servant?

Dixie thought that Savannah would panic when Natalie was mentioned, and she would take advantage of that to ask her to save her younger brother. However, she realized that she was wrong after seeing Savannah's emotionless face.

Savannah was extremely vicious. If she could find a way to kill Natalie without anyone knowing, she could kill her with ease, too.

Natalie was an important person, but she wasn't. It wouldn't be a problem for Savannah to kill her.

Dixie fell to her knees when she thought of this and begged, "Madam, please save Paxton! I beg you!"

Savannah looked at her on the ground and said coldly, "I'll arrange for someone to ask around first! We'll talk about it later!"

At the police station, Paige finally calmed down after her initial burst of anger and sadness.

The police were inquiring about the details of Liam's incident, and he was very calm.

He had probably already thought about how to deal with it. He put on a remorseful look with teary eyes and began to tell his story

"I started cheating on Natalie with Julie a year before she passed away. Back then, I went to a dinner party and drank a lot, so I went outside to sober up. That's when I met Julie. She also came to have dinner with her friends. Back then, I thought that it was all a coincidence. Now that I know Julie, it probably wasn't. She should have planned this ages ago!"

"I was very surprised to meet her that night. She came to talk to me with excitement, and I was a little drunk, so she helped me out. Maybe she drugged me, so I didn't resist and hugged her in the car... After that, I was very scared. I was worried that Natalie would find out about it, so I was very cautious for a few days. Then I met Julie again and cheated the second time! Cheating is addictive. I was afraid in the beginning, but grew numb to it later on."

"In order to make it more convenient, I rented a house for Julie, and I went to her place twice a week. Every time I went there. I said that I had to go on a business trip. Because I felt guilty about having an affair, I would try my best to be a good husband when I was home. Natalie was not in good health, so I bought a lot of herbal medicine for her because I wanted to improve her health. However, I didn't

expect that Julie would drug the medicine I bought for Natalie Liam tugged on his hair as he spoke. He secretly glanced at Paige while avoiding her gaze. Paige, on the other hand, laid quietly in Joseph's tight embrace. She clenched her jaw while listening to his story.

The police glanced at Joseph and Paige and asked, "How did you find out that Julie poisoned your wife? Why didn't you stop it?"

"I didn't know that Julie poisoned her until after her death. Natalie suddenly fell ill and passed away. Everything happened so fast, and I couldn't accept it for a while. When I was cleaning up her stuff, I accidentally knocked over her medicine, and the dog came over to lick it up. After a while, it fell to the ground while having seizures, and I was shocked. I sent the medicine for testing, and the results showed that they were poisoned."

"You are lying! He is lying! He must have poisoned the medicine along with Julie! For sure!" Paige shouted angrily.

If she did not know of Liam's viciousness and shamelessness, she would have believed that he was innocent. However, she knew his true feelings, so whatever he said was not credible at all.

"Paige, I really didn't know about it! I didn't expect Julie to be so vicious! It's all my fault that Natalie ended up like that. If I knew that Julie would do such things to Natalie, I wouldn't have flirted with her in the beginning!"

Liam cried bitterly with intentions of clearing his responsibilities. However, neither Joseph, Paige, nor the police believed him. "Liam! It's better to confess the truth now. Don't hold onto the hope of turning the tables! Confess the truth now if you want a lighter punishment."

"All I said was the truth. After I found that the medicine was poisoned, I immediately suspected Julie. I questioned her angrily, and she admitted to everything! She said that she loved me too much and did not want to be separated from me, so she took the risk. I wanted to call the police, but she threatened me by saying that she would drag me down with her if I turned her in. I had no choice but to keep quiet about this!"

Liam gasped for breath and continued. "I always thought that she only poisoned the medicine. Later, learned that she also poisoned Natalie's IV drip during her stay at the hospital. She did this with Paxton, and it ultimately caused her death! Julie is too vicious!"

"You're the only one saying this. Where's your evidence?" The police asked.

"I have evidence. I recorded my conversation when I confronted Julie! It's in my email."
