Chapter 294 Is Your Heart Made of Stone?
An hour later, Joseph arrived at the hospital, followed by Lucas with Wren in tow.
Joseph glanced toward the hospital ward and asked, “Have the police arrived?”
“Yes, and Benjamin has regained consciousness. They’re questioning him right now,” Chloe replied.
He nodded, knocked on the door, and entered the room. Benjamin had been incessantly arguing his
case until Wren appeared before him. Instantly, his spirit withered, and he appeared dejected.
Benjamin looked at Chloe and murmured, “How long have you been planning this?”
“Not long. About the time you divorced Karen,” Chloe replied.
“And you manipulated the paternity test report too?” Benjamin asked.
“You could say that,” Chloe confirmed.
With these words, Chloe shattered Benjamin’s final illusion. He admitted his guilt and claimed that
Karen was the mastermind.

Karen was at a beauty salon with a friend, proudly boasting about Ava’s imminent. marriage into a
prestigious family in Docwood.
Her friend was taken aback. “Are you referring to the Whitmans?”
“Yes. In a few days, Mr. Jonathan will be bringing Ava home to meet his parents. I think they’ll
announce their wedding soon,” Karen gleefully shared.
In Docwood, one could not stand firm without strong support. Thanks to Calvin who had been
introducing Ava as his goddaughter to the outside world-even though his influence could not match the
Whitmans, he could not be taken lightly either-Jonathan was quite satisfied with Ava’s association with
him.
Her friend inquired, “Mr. Jonathan? The son of Mr. Preston?”
“That’s right. He’s Ava’s boyfriend,” Karen confirmed.
“I’m not sure if I should say this, but I remember he isn’t the eldest grandson in the Whitman family. In
families like the Whitmans, the first child typically inherits the family wealth,” her friend added.
Karen cunningly smiled and said, “You don’t understand. I’ve done my research. The eldest grandson
of the Whitmans is usually abroad, and the family business is managed by Mr. Jonathan.”
“You’re absolutely right! When Ava becomes part of the Whitmans through marriage, your life will be
filled with opulence and comfort. When she becomes Mr. Jonathan’s wife, as your friend, I’ll bask in the
glory of your elevated status just by sharing this news!” her friend exclaimed with excitement.
But before the words could fully sink in, several uniformed police officers burst through the door.
“Karen Smith? Based on a report, you are suspected of intentional homicide. We request that you
accompany us to the police station for interrogation,” one of the officers declared.
Karen was dumbfounded by the sudden appearance of the police. “O-Officers, y-you must have
mistaken me for someone else,” she stammered in disbelief.
“There’s no mistake,” the officer replied sternly, swiftly placing handcuffs on her wrists and forcefully
escorting her to the police car.

When Ava learned of her mother’s situation, she initially considered seeking help from Calvin.
However, fearing that he might uncover her true identity, she decided against it.
In the end, she left the station alone. As she stepped out of the station, Ava’s anger surged within her.
“That fucking bitch has already caused my parents to divorce, yet she still isn’t satisfied, and now, she
wants to send my mother to prison?!”
Ava sought the guidance of a lawyer to gain a comprehensive understanding of the situation. With the
existence of witnesses and Benjamin’s admission of guilt, the evidence against Karen was substantial.
While her role as the mastermind was still being investigated, it was certain that she would be facing a
minimum sentence of fifteen years in prison due to the gravity of the charges.
‘Does she think I’m a doormat she can just walk all over?!”
Ava stormed into the Johnsons’ office, forcefully kicking open the door to the general manager’s office.
Pointing her finger at Chloe, she shouted, “Why are you so evil?! The family raised you for over twenty
years, and now you want to send our parents to prison?! Is your heart made of xo.com fast
