Chapter 344 - Leila And Trisa



When the doctor in charge of Mellisa talked to them, Lilia found out that Mellisa\'s injuries were much more serious than she thought. Her body was covered with bruises, as if she had been tortured, and she had a high fever. There was one stab wound in the waist and two cuts on Mellisa\'s back. In addition, there was water in her lungs, making it difficult for the woman to breathe.

The more Lilia heard all the details from the doctor, the paler her face became. If she found out that her sister\'s condition was that bad, she would never have let her set foot into the hall!

When Lilia met Mellisa at Jenny\'s previous residence, she could only see her sister for five minutes. Lilia didn\'t have enough time to ask more details about Mellisa\'s condition. When she saw Mellisa lying on the bed, she just thought that her sister\'s physical condition was very poor. However, Lilia never thought that Mellisa\'s situation would become so serious.

Lilia was usually able to control her emotions, but too many things were happening at the same time, making her overwhelmed. She could not hold back her tears anymore and hurriedly turned around. Before anyone could react, Lilia had rushed to the other end of the corridor.

Claire took a step forward at the sight. She had intended to comfort Lilia, but Jean had walked past her with brisk strides.

"I\'ll calm her down," Jean said before following Lilia away.

Claire opened her mouth to protest, but Andrew grabbed her arm.

"Claire, let Jean handle this. I\'m sure Lilia doesn\'t want anyone\'s company. We better stay here," Andrew suggested.

He could say that with complete confidence because Lilia had the same character as Claire. When tough women like them hit rock bottom, they didn\'t want others to see their weak side.

After hearing that, Claire gave up on comforting Lilia. Then she realized that Andrew was still holding her arm. Claire stared at her husband coldly before pulling her arm away angrily. That man had been hiding the secret about Mellisa from her for a very long time. He shouldn\'t think that she would be easily persuaded to forgive him!

At the end of the corridor, Lilia kept running until she reached the corner of the lonely stairs. Lilia gripped the railing tightly, as if trying to vent her emotions.

When Lilia heard the sound of footsteps stopping behind her, she immediately turned around and ran into the man\'s embrace without hesitation. She hugged Jean tightly while taking a deep breath. It seemed that she could only calm her anger this way.

The man sighed, then hugged Lilia\'s shaking body back. He slowly stroked the woman\'s back with his large palm. For a moment, there was only Lilia\'s faint sobbing in the empty corridor.

"Don\'t worry, your sister is tougher than you think." Jean whispered softly. "She will definitely be fine,"

Hearing that, Lilia\'s hug loosened up a little. But she still buried her face in Jean\'s chest and refused to raise her head. Lilia asked in a muffled voice, "Who hurt her? Were Leila\'s men that great?"

Jean was silent for a moment, as if trying to decide to what extent he was going to tell Lilia. But in the end, the man decided to tell her the truth.

"Leila was involved in the incident, but this is not entirely the woman\'s job. The people who did it were thugs housed in one of the nightclubs. They are all criminals who are willing to do anything for money," Jean explained. "Their headquarters also has shares in one of the Irwan family companies. To be more precise, the company that\'s currently handled by Randell Irwan,"

Hearing that name, Lilia suddenly raised her face. Her eyes that met Jean\'s were filled with a cold light. "So this is that woman\'s doing, Trisa Irwan!"

Jean nodded with a proud expression. "I know you must have caught my point right away. I won\'t rule out that possibility either!"

Lilia took a sharp breath. After all that had happened tonight, she felt that her entire body was enveloped in coldness. Lilia could barely feel her own fingertips. Her brain was spinning hard, thinking about the implications of this possibility.

If Leila and Trisa formed an alliance, it\'s no wonder Mellisa didn\'t want to return to the Irwan Family house in recent years. Lilia believed it was her aunt who kept Mellisa isolated from getting the adults in the family\'s support.

Lilia didn\'t understand what Jean meant by Trisa\'s dark past, but she was sure that Jean wouldn\'t give her false information. Besides, she could already guess from Jean and Trisa\'s conversation earlier. The term \'whitewashed\' indicated that Trisa had a shady past.

If Trisa really managed all of this behind everyone\'s back, then she was the one who needed to be punished. Lilia began to think how she would settle accounts with that woman. She did not expect that the Irwan Family, which was known as a respectable and educated family, would have such a daughter-in-law.

"Don\'t worry, you can demand justice for Mellisa and yourself at any time," the man\'s palm grabbed Lilia\'s face and rubbed her cold skin.

After he said that, Jean hugged Lilia again before gently patting her head. "Are you tired?" Jean asked. "Want to rest for a moment?"

Lilia leaned her head on Jean\'s shoulder and slowly closed her eyes. She did feel tired after going through a lot today. However, she was too tense to think of rest at this time.

"No need, I\'m fine. What about my parents?" Asked Lilia. Her voice sounded so flat when she mentioned her parents.

Tonight, she had lost her parents and almost lost Mellisa. There were so many things that needed to be straightened out with Robert and Sylvia. But now they only needed to finish it one step at a time.

"The Irwan Family guards are guarding them right now. They won\'t be able to leave until you and Mellisa come back to ask them for an explanation," Jean replied.

Lilia nodded without a trace of sympathy on her face. This was what they deserved after lying to everyone for years.

After the two of them hugged for a while, Lilia suddenly thought of something. She distanced herself from Jean and asked, "Oh yeah, why is there water in Mellisa\'s lungs?"

Jean\'s eyes flashed sharply as he struggled to find the right words to describe it. Finally, he sighed and told Lilia the truth.

"After the thugs attacked Mellisa, they tied stones to her body to drown her in the lake. Fortunately, Leonard managed to save her before it was too late. Then he called me and took Mellisa to the Irwan family house," Jean explained.

When she heard this, Lilia\'s knees relaxed and her breath caught in her throat. She moved her lips, but no sound came out of her mouth.

If they intended to drown Mellisa after injuring her so badly, there was only one goal. They really intended to kill Mellisa and get rid of her corpse!
