Chapter 306 A Great News
Eugene covered his nose and looked over, catching a glimpse of the puddle of liquid beneath Michael.
Seriously? He wet himself even before the interrogation began.
The pungent smell of urine filled his nostrils, making him nauseous.
Yet, Michael couldn't care less about the urine on his body and trembled uncontrollably on the ground.
Although he hadn't seen Leo's way of doing things, the killing intent emanating from Leo was enough to
kill him.
"Who donated the cornea to me?" asked Leo in a cold, emotionless voice, unfazed by the stench.
"I-I don't know," Michael stuttered.
At this moment, Leo slowly raised his hand.
Thinking that he was about to be hit, Michael panicked and prostrated himself on the ground. "I really
don't know. All I saw was Ellen's diary. I don't know anything else. I really don't." His voice was shaking
and desperate, and he sounded like a pig being slaughtered.
Witnessing this scene from the side, Eugene raised his eyebrows in disdain. Mr. Alston hasn't even
done anything yet, and he's already acting so cowardly.
On the other hand, Michael wasn't in the right mind to think about how cowardly he appeared. All he
could hope for was that Leo would spare him.
He moved his head near Leo's shoes, touching the shoe with his mouth while his saliva splattered
everywhere. "Why don't you ask Ellen about it? She knows everything about the process. Please, Mr.
Alston. Don't force me anymore. Even if you force me, I can't say anything more. Do you want me to
give you a random name? Whose name should I say?'
Disgusted, Leo dodged his mouth and stood up right away.
"Mr. Alston." Eugene followed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen, Leo coldly ordered, "Send him to the police station."
"Okay," replied Eugene with a nod.
Judging from his cowardly behavior, he would have confessed long ago if he knew the answer. "Bring
Ellen over," Leo instructed.
Eugene brought Ellen in swiftly.
"Leo…" Ellen didn't know what had happened to Michael and Elyse, and of course, she didn't care. As
soon as she entered, she looked at Leo in a daze, seeming as though she had forgotten how cold he
treated her previously.
"How much do you know about the cornea donor?" Eugene asked on behalf of Leo.
Hearing the question, Ellen shrugged, then looked at Leo affectionately with her hand pressed to her
chest. "It's me. I am the donor."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Eugene bellowed.
Shocked, she shrank back, her hands fumbling at her collar. "It was me. There was no one else. Leo, I
blinded myself in one eye for you. You can't abandon me now." As she said that, she leaned toward
him.
At the same time, Eugene quickly intercepted and pushed her away. This caused her to start crying
and mumbling incoherently.
Without looking at her, Leo asked Eugene, "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said her mental illness is pretty severe. She often confuses her fantasies with reality. She
might have seen the cornea donor, but she imagined it to be herself. So…" Eugene's unspoken
implication was that Ellen could no longer give them the name of the cornea donor.
When Leo heard that, he became disgruntled. He didn't want to owe anyone anything, especially such
a big favor. "Find out what happened to her throughout these few years," he ordered before leaving.
Behind him, Eugene shook his head helplessly. Mr. Alston has been searching for his cornea donor all
this time, but the person has never shown up. It's been so long that much of the evidence has
disappeared. I might not find any useful information even if I investigate Ellen. Sigh, what's wrong with
that cornea donor? There must have been a reason for her to donate her cornea. Why hasn't she
shown up for so many years?
…
At the same time, in the Alston Residence, Jodie burst through the door and shouted at Melissa in the
living room, "Gosh, I have some great news!"
Melissa was getting her nails painted by Miss Potts. When she heard that, she frowned in
dissatisfaction. "What kind of behavior is this from a grown woman? People who don't know us would
think we don't have any manners in this house."
Although Jodie hated Melissa's nagging the most, she wasn't in the mood to argue with her. She
handed her phone to Melissa and said, "Look, Mom. Elyse has committed suicide."
"Suicide?" Melissa's hand shook upon being stunned, causing Miss Potts to paint her finger by
accident. However, she didn't care as she grabbed the phone that Jodie handed over to read the news.
"This woman must have been at her wits' end to choose suicide. Hmph! Tax evasion and falsifying
contracts are enough reasons for her to do so. The fines alone could have ruined her. Without Leo's
protection, what else could she do but kill herself?"
Jodie had always looked down on Elyse, so she couldn't help but recall how Elyse used to show off in
front of her when Leo liked Elyse. It was nothing compared to death, but she couldn't help feeling
resentful.
"It's good that she's dead." Melissa was visibly relieved when she read about Elyse's death. This
woman was always pestering Leo and had all sorts of schemes in her mind. She was very annoying.
Now that she's gone, Leo will have a better relationship with Foxy.
"By the way, how's Foxy and your brother doing?" She couldn't help but be concerned about this
matter. Leo had been home for days, yet he hadn't mentioned anything about Foxy. Since she was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
afraid of offending him, she didn't dare ask him directly either.
"Not bad," Jodie replied, although she didn't like Foxy very much. "Leo took her to make a wish to
Amaro, the Love Immortal. According to a priest who passed by them, Leo even said that he wanted to
pursue her." Since she was too afraid to follow them, she had gotten a priest to deliberately walk past
them and eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Oh, that's great!" When Melissa heard that, she couldn't stop smiling. "It looks like they're getting
married soon. In that case, how many tables do we need for the wedding ceremony? I think one hotel
won't be enough. Two would be nice. Are there two big hotels in this city that are connected?"
As she spoke, she started looking it up on her phone. One is a business tycoon, and the other is a
famous influencer with millions of fans. This wedding is going to be a big deal. The scale has to be
unprecedented!
Just as she was getting into it, her phone beeped with a message. However, she wasn't in the mood to
look at any messages now, so she was going to swipe it away, but she accidentally clicked on it.
The moment she opened the message, her joyous expression froze as her eyes went still. It was as
though she had been stunned, unable to move a finger.
Seeing how Melissa suddenly went silent and sat there while staring blankly, Jodie was confused.
"What's wrong? What is it?"
"This is outrageous! This is outrageous!" Melissa suddenly became agitated and repeated the words
over and over again. At the same time, she slammed her hands on the table. The manicure kit bounced
and nail polish spilled over.
"What's the matter, Mrs. Alston? What made you so angry?" asked Miss Potts in confusion.
At this moment, Melissa had already stood up and was pacing around the room.
Although Miss Potts didn't know why she blew a gasket, she knew she couldn't continue painting her
nails, so she quickly packed her things and left.
As the most curious person, Jodie was already impatient. Seeing Melissa's behavior, she knew that
something big had happened, so she walked over and snatched Melissa's phone.
The moment she looked at the screen and saw the photo, she screamed, "Ah!"
