Chapter 212 He Loves Himself More
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your mother died of a difficult childbirth, what does it have to do with me?!" Dolores didn't believe they had any evidence at all, and yelled at him confidently.
"I get it. You took advantage of Henry's accident and deliberately came back to fight for the family property, right?! And you framed Henry, right?!"
Deloria now looks no different from a street shrew, and she doesn't have the temperament and cultivation of a noble lady at all.
"Frame-up? If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. How dare I frame your useless son?" Cole took a few steps back with disgust on his face and sat next to Leon.
"You have to have evidence for what you say, Auntie, just like I have evidence that you killed my mother, and I have evidence that your son has hired people to assassinate me many times."
Old Cole paused while flipping through the papers and handed the USB flash drive in the file bag to the butler.
The housekeeper understood and connected the USB drive to the computer, and played the video of them interrogating the midwife from that year.
"It was Miss Jones who approached me several times and asked me to tamper with the eldest lady's delivery.
I was reluctant at first, but she threatened the lives of my husband and two children, so I had no choice but to agree. Later, I was worried that she would kill me to silence me, so I immigrated with my whole family.
I have been living in guilt and anxiety all these years. I am sorry to the first lady.
This is the audio I secretly recorded when I first met Miss Jones."
Then, an audio recording was played of Dolores meeting with the doctor and threatening and bribing her to cause Cole's mother to have a difficult labor.
Cole just watched with an expressionless face. He had watched this video several times before, and it no longer stirred his heart.
Whether she really felt guilty and uneasy, his mother and brother would never come back, so it didn't matter whether it was true or not. He just wanted the life of the mastermind to be exchanged for his own.
"This is all fake! It's a false accusation! Cole, you framed your own aunt for the sake of the family property. God will never forgive you!"
Doloria stepped forward and tried to snatch the computer, but the old housekeeper dodged her quickly, and she was also pinned down by the people brought by Leon.
Leon smiled nonchalantly, "Everyone sitting in this room is an important figure in Country A. Miss Jones should be more cautious to avoid accidental injury. I think the head of the Jones family doesn't mind me doing this?"
Old Cole: ...You've already said everything, what can I say?!
But thinking of the information he had just read, he waved his hand nonchalantly, "No problem, I also want to thank Chief Leon for his help."
"Father? I am your daughter! Do you really want to join forces with outsiders to treat your own daughter like this?!" Dolores looked at her father in disbelief.
Old Cole looked at Dolores with disappointment in his eyes. "A daughter? A daughter who only cares about the family fortune? A daughter who wants me dead? Or a daughter who poisoned my brother and sister-in-law so they can't get pregnant again?"
Dolores' lips moved up and down a few times, but in the end she didn't say a word.
It seems that Cole, that bastard, has found out everything, and this old man is already disappointed in her. What else can she say?
Anyway, this old man would definitely protect her and wouldn't let her die. As long as she could still keep her life, she didn't need to be afraid of anyone or anything.
Cole curled his lips sarcastically, "But then again, you're not very smart.
Even Brown knew to kill the temporary worker who planted the bomb to silence him, but you were so stupid as to let him go.
I wonder if you will think of my mother and brother who were killed by you when you wake up in your dreams at midnight?"
Old Cole's hand holding the cane trembled slightly. It seemed that... the one who revealed the truth about the explosion to him not long ago was his eldest grandson whom he had not seen for ten years. Was he testing his attitude?
Dolores closed her eyes and said nothing, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
Unfortunately, no one cares. Today's ending has already been written. Only she is still living in a dream, thinking that she can escape safely.
The Duke of Berlin rubbed the ring on his thumb and said calmly, "Old Cole, the evidence is now conclusive. It's time for you to express your position."
"Wait, let me interrupt first." Leon didn't look at Old Cole, but just looked at Dolores with a smile.
"Ms. Jones, I think you'd better not be too happy too soon.
After all, Cole and I have a life-and-death relationship. Even if you can escape unscathed today, I will never let someone who hurt my brother live out the rest of his life in peace."
Although all the words were directed at Deloria, everyone present knew exactly who they were targeting.
Luo Yunyan said that if necessary, the two of them could use any of her identities to show off.
But Leon felt that it was not necessary. His international mercenary group was not there to do nothing, and Sister Luo's reputation needed to be used effectively.
Deloria suddenly looked up at him, "Are you threatening me?!"
"Tsk, you're a top student who's gilded your memory at a prestigious university, so how come you have such a poor understanding? I'm just giving you a heads up out of kindness, understand?"
Leon's ears hurt from her shrill voice, and he rolled his eyes impatiently.
The subordinate understood what she meant and blocked her mouth, and then the pressure was put on old Cole.
Old Cole looked at Cole with a complicated look, which showed longing, admiration and relief, but no resentment.
Because if it were him, he would do the same.
Finally, he just sighed and said, "You can leave the person to you, but I want Cole to come back and be the next head of the family."
"Can."
Cole agreed without thinking, after all, this was one of the reasons why he came back.
"Mmmm..." Deloria looked at him in disbelief.
I don't know whether she couldn't believe that her father had given up on her, or whether she couldn't believe that Cole, an abandoned child, could actually become the head of the family.
"Okay, sorry to bother you today. We'll be leaving first." Duke Berlin stood up with the help of Kohl.
"Cole, are you leaving too? The building you used to live in has been cleaned and kept in its original appearance." Old Cole spoke up to try to keep him.
Cole paused, "Grandfather, I'll be back as soon as I've dealt with this matter. I promised to take the position of head of the family, and I won't break my promise."
After saying this, he took the Duke of Berlin's arm and left without looking back.
And Dolores was also dragged out by Leon's men.
As soon as the living room was empty, old Cole seemed to have aged ten years and leaned weakly on his chair.
The old butler was a little worried and said to him, "Old sir..."
"I'm fine. She deserves it." Old Cole waved his hand and interrupted.
Does he love his children? Of course he does.
But he loves himself more, and he loves the family business that his ancestors have worked hard to build.
His eldest grandson, Cole, has the ability, means and connections, and is the best candidate for the head of the family.
But he still separated from this eldest grandson in the end...
Well, under Cole's leadership, the Jones family will definitely go further; and as a grandfather, he can at least enjoy his old age, and that's enough.
After Cole went out, he looked up at the sunny sky.
Next up is Brown.
