I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 691 - 690: Pregnant?! (13)

After a moment, he returned, followed by Lawyer Yan Su and his assistant.

"Mr. Leafcastle, I believe you are already aware of Vera’s surrender," Lawyer Yan Su said. "I came here today to ask what you are planning to do next."

"Vera could never be the murderer! The Cooper family must have forced her to do this!" Nathan Leafcastle slammed his palm on the table, his voice filled with rage. "I will make this shameless family pay! I’m going to sue them for perverting justice and disregarding the law."

Lawyer Yan Su shrugged. "That’s a matter for the judicial department. We don’t have that authority! Not unless we can obtain evidence."

Nathan Leafcastle stood up straight, grabbed his coat, and walked briskly towards the exit.

"Come with me to see Vera."

...

The fleet of cars stopped in front of the Cooper family mansion. As soon as the car came to a halt, Kris Cooper got out and quickly ran up the steps.

Mrs. Zhang had already heard the car horn and opened the door.

"Young Master, you’re back?"

Ignoring Mrs. Zhang, Kris Cooper charged straight up the stairs, his urgent footsteps—THUD, THUD, THUD—echoing as he reached the third floor.

"Vera, Vera..."

He pushed open the bedroom door but didn’t see the familiar figure he was looking for.

He turned and rushed to the study, but still, no one was there.

Raising an eyebrow, Kris Cooper ran back downstairs.

"Where the hell is Vera?" Kris Cooper stared at Bailey Hansen, demanding urgently, "Speak up!"

"She... she’s not at home," Bailey Hansen said.

"Then where did she go?"

"She..." Bailey Hansen pursed her lips. "She’s at the Public Security Bureau, under investigation."

Kris Cooper’s eyebrows twitched. "What do you mean?!"

Bailey Hansen spoke in a low voice, "Vera turned herself in and admitted that she pushed Liliana Davis down the stairs."

Kris Cooper’s expression changed instantly. He rushed over and grabbed Bailey Hansen’s arm.

"Weren’t you supposed to be watching her properly? Why would you let her do something like this?"

Christoper Cooper stepped forward, pulled Kris away, and slapped him hard across the face.

With a CRACK, Kris Cooper stumbled back, taking two steps before steadying himself.

"Kris!"

Seeing her son’s state, Bailey Hansen’s heart ached. She rushed over to help him but was stopped by Christoper Cooper.

"Leave him be. Let him calm down."

"Kris, you’ve misunderstood," Lucille Matthias said, walking over. "Vera went by herself; we only found out later. We understand you’re worried about her, but this really has nothing to do with your parents. Vera went to the police station first, and we only found out afterward."

She gently patted his shoulder and said softly, "Go apologize to your parents. They’ve run themselves ragged for you these past few days."

By then, Kris Cooper had calmed down. He walked back to Christoper Cooper and Bailey Hansen.

"Dad, Mom, I’m sorry. I was too impulsive just now."

"Kris," Sophia Thompson also walked over and guided him to a chair. "Tell Aunt Sophia the truth, who really pushed her?"

"It wasn’t anyone. It was truly just an accident," Kris said. "That silly girl must have said that to save me."

Everyone looked somber.

Two people, two different stories. Who were they to believe?

"Has Kris returned?"

Upstairs, Henry Cooper had also heard the commotion and came out.

Bailey Hansen and Christoper Cooper hurriedly rushed up to help him downstairs. Kris Cooper also rose and went to meet him.

"Grandpa, I’m sorry."

The old man looked his grandson up and down, then a smile spread across his face.

"It’s good that you’re back. It’s good that you’re back!"
