FreeNovelChapter 646 Her Revenge Patrice finally understood what had happened. "So it was you. I knew it! Aside from having hypertension, Uncle Henry was always healthy. He must have suddenly fallen so ill because you poisoned him! "Vanessa, how dare you cause a scene at my uncle's funeral after killing him. Aren't you afraid he'll haunt you because you've disturbed his final journey to heaven?" Vanessa looked at the photos, shaking her head in terror. She didn't know when they had been taken." These aren't real! I didn't do it!" She had always feared that William would suspect the cause of Henry's illness and investigate the medicine residue. Hence, she would mix the poison into the medicine she prepared. Once Henry drank it, all the evidence would be gone, and William wouldn't be able to hold it against her.
Given the clarity and proximity of the photos, they must have been taken by a maid. A traitorous spy was among them.
A bone-chilling cold crept up her back. She sensed she was about to take a huge fall. Her mind raced as she pointed at William in a desperate struggle. "It's you! William, you forged these photos to divert attention from yourself. Do you think a few photos can convict me?" "Aside from photos, we also have video evidence," William replied.
Vanessa's legs nearly gave out, and she began to retreat as she lost strength.

Vanessa turned pale and began trembling, wondering how they got hold of even the medicine bowls. Where and how did he get all this evidence? Vanessa looked around the funeral hall and locked eyes with Emelie, who met her gaze calmly.
Vanessa laughed abruptly. It was Emelie who provided William with this evidence.
William was supposed to be her enemy, yet she helped him against someone who also hated him and wanted to destroy him. Vanessa felt the world had gone mad.
William said, "My father's body hasn't been cremated yet, so it can still be examined. All of this is more than enough to arrest you. If you have anything else to say, save it for the police during your interrogation.
With that, the police officers gave the instruction to take her away. "Take her away!" Vanessa didn't struggle when she was handcuffed by two female officers. She only screamed hoarsely, " William Middleton! Emelie Hoven!" Her voice was filled with hatred. It was as if she wanted to tear them apart.
The ended when William said, "Can all the reporters please leave? Uncle Gideon and Uncle Edmund, please carry on with the funeral." Emelie had already left the funeral at spoint, leaving behind a bouquet for William. It wasn't a bouquet of white chrysanthemums or carnations, but bright pink lilies.
Late at night, the Middleton family's manor returned to its usual quietness. Henry's body had been taken away for a forensic examination. Hence, it couldn't be cremated or buried yet.
The funeral hall remained intact. As the night's wind howled, the white banners fluttered eerily.
In the east parlor, the four families gathered to talk.

Charles smirked. "She claimed Ms.
Hoven knew that she was poisoning Mr. Middleton Senior but did nothing e apout it except collect evidence. Essentially, she let her do the dirty work, keeping her own hands clean.
while Vanessa took the fall." That wasn't entirely untrue. Vanessa had been poisoning Henry for over two years, and Emelie had known all along but didn't stop her.
That was because she wanted Henry dead too. Henry was one of those responsible for the death of Xander back then. This was her revenge. Charles straightened up and said, "Mr. Middleton, wasn't agreeing to Emelie's proposal today a bit hasty?
William chuckled. "Should I have agree to waited for you to agree to her m proposal after you all threwunder the bus to save yourselves instead?" Charles paused, then said, "Mr. Middleton, that's a bit harsh. When Vanessa accused you, didn't we stand by your side?"
