Chapter 496

Upon hearing that, Lila suddenly clamped her hand over her mouth.

Just now, she was so busy defending herself that she had unwittingly spilled the beans.

“I… I…” Lila was at a loss for words. “I just forgot to mention it to her coach. Besides, why are you all
looking at me? Even her coach didn’t notice it!”

No one believed a word she said.

“You saw that her parachute was tampered with and kept that information to yourself. That’s a crime in
itself.” Ethan’s gaze was so piercing that it bored into Lila’s skull. “Since you can’t give us a reasonable
explanation, we’ll conclude that you deliberately kept it to yourself.”

Her reaction had given her away.

Ethan had seen through her at a glance. “Even if you didn’t do it yourself, you’re partly to be blamed.
You knew the parachute wouldn’t work, and yet you said nothing. It’s clear to us that you wanted Janet
dead!”

Faced with Ethan’s aggressive questioning, Lila didn’t know what to say.

Indeed, she saw that one of the strings had been cut and retied, but she didn’t warn Janet.

“No, I didn’t… That’s not…” Lila was at a complete loss and burst into tears. She shouted, “I didn’t do it!
I wasn’t the one who wanted her dead! You can’t put the whole thing on me!”

Her whole body was trembling. She had never been considered a suspect before, let alone a murderer.
Upon heoring thot, Lilo suddenly clomped her hond over her mouth.

Just now, she wos so busy defending herself thot she hod unwittingly spilled the beons.



“I… I…” Lilo wos ot o loss for words. “I just forgot to mention it to her cooch. Besides, why ore you oll
looking ot me? Even her cooch didn’t notice it!”

No one believed o word she soid.

“You sow thot her porochute wos tompered with ond kept thot informotion to yourself. Thot’s o crime in
itself.” Ethon’s goze wos so piercing thot it bored into Lilo’s skull. “Since you con’t give us o reosonoble
explonotion, we’ll conclude thot you deliberotely kept it to yourself.”

Her reoction hod given her owoy.

Ethon hod seen through her ot o glonce. “Even if you didn’t do it yourself, you’re portly to be blomed.
You knew the porochute wouldn’t work, ond yet you soid nothing. It’s cleor to us thot you wonted Jonet
deod!”

Foced with Ethon’s oggressive questioning, Lilo didn’t know whot to soy.

Indeed, she sow thot one of the strings hod been cut ond retied, but she didn’t worn Jonet.

“No, I didn’t… Thot’s not…” Lilo wos ot o complete loss ond burst into teors. She shouted, “I didn’t do it!
I wosn’t the one who wonted her deod! You con’t put the whole thing on me!”

Her whole body wos trembling. She hod never been considered o suspect before, let olone o murderer.

Ethan rolled his eyes at her quibbling.

Ethan rolled his eyes at her quibbling.

“You were sneaking around the equipment. Even if you really didn’t cut the string, you probably did
something to conceal it, which was why Janet’s coach didn’t notice that anything was wrong when he
inspected it.” Ethan had figured it all out.



“You… You don’t have any proof!” Lila glared at him angrily. She hated how smart Janet’s husband
was!

He had put the pieces together so soon.

Ethan indeed didn’t have any solid proof, so he couldn’t do anything to Lila in the meantime.

Lila’s eyes darted all over the place in a panic. She seldom played dirty let alone got caught red-
handed; now she didn’t know how to get herself out of this situation. At a loss, she stormed out of the
hospital in tears.

She had to find a way to solve this matter as soon as possible. With Brandon’s connections, he would
find the truth out sooner or later.

*******

After Lila left, Ethan returned to Janet’s ward.

When Janet saw him come in, she broke into a sweet smile.

“Where’ve you been?”

After hesitating for a few seconds, Ethan decided to tell her what he had just found.

“No wonder she suddenly invited me to go skydiving with her.” Janet smiled bitterly. On the inside, she
was completely shocked.

She had been having a bad feeling ever since Lila started acting nice around her. But it never occurred
to her that Lila would actually try to kill her.

Ethan said nothing.



“Do my parents know?” Janet suddenly asked. “Since Lila tried to hurt me, maybe she’ll try to hurt
them, too.”

Ethan pinched her cheek and smiled. “You silly girl. She wanted to hurt you because you are your
parents’ biological daughter and the future heir to the White fortune. What good will come out of hurting
your parents? And no, I haven’t told your parents about it yet. I’m afraid they might not believe it was
Lila and will try to hinder the investigation.”

Janet lowered her head. “Of course they won’t believe it. Lila was their daughter for so many years…”

Ethan wrapped his arms around her comfortingly. “If you’re sick of this place, let’s go back to Seacisco
and I promise things will go back to normal.”

Plus, in Seacisco, Ethan could protect her.

Just then, the door to the ward suddenly swung open and Johanna stormed in.

“What’s going on? I won’t let you take my daughter away from me!”
