Chapter 384
After comforting Paige, Lamont immediately called Archer. However, Archer had a company meeting, so his phone was turned off.
Lamont called him several times, but he did not pick up. He guessed that he must be in a meeting, but he could not wait any longer, so he called Archer's assistant.
After recognizing Lamont's voice, the assistant did not dawdle and went to the conference room to look for Archer.
Archer stopped the meeting halfway and returned to his office. He immediately called Lamont and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to contact me? Did something urgent happen?"
"It's an extremely urgent matter. Mr. Saunders, Natalie did not die a natural death. She was killed by Liam, Isabella, and Paxton."
Then, Archer let out a startled cry. After a while, he finally asked, "Are you sure?"
"They found the evidence of Paxton buying the poison, but he doesn't want to admit it. I suspect that not only is Paxton related to this, but Savannah too!"
Lamont continued in anger, "Just like back then, even though you were forced to marry her, she still didn't spare Natalie and continued to plot against her. When you had ignored her for so many years, she must have vented all her anger on Natalie. I have a feeling that she is involved in this!"
Archer supported himself with one hand on his desk, and his voice was shaky, "So... so I indirectly caused her death?"
"You can't say that..."
"I'm the one who hurt her!" Archer interrupted him. "It's all my fault!"
Archer was a formidable businessman, but he was currently choked up with tears.
He had no feelings for Savannah and hated that she had gotten in between Natalie and him. Therefore, he had never touched her once in the past 20 years. He did this to prove to her that no matter how hard she tried, she would never win his heart.
However, he never expected that she would do something crazy to Natalie.
"Mr. Saunders, this is just my guess. Please calm down!"
"I don't know anyone else who is as vicious as her! Natalie is such a kind person, so why would Paxton poison her for nothing? Savannah must be behind this... I'll never let her go!"
Archer shouted the last sentence. Outside his door, Raelyn Saunders was about to push it open, but she froze upon hearing his voice.
Did Savannah kill Natalie? That was so scary, man… This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Raelyn and Savannah were good friends.
She had helped her get together with Archer back then. Due to this, Archer had always been cold to his
sister over the years.
When Declan's death sentence was confirmed to be carried out in a month, she asked Gavin for help, but he refused. So, she went to Archer instead. Even though she knew that he would not agree to help her, she still held on to the hope that he might.
However, she didn't expect to hear such horrendous news. In the office, Archer furiously threw something on the ground.
Knowing that he was in a bad mood, she did not go and ask him for help.
If Savannah really killed Natalie, Archer would definitely hate her even more. With her being Savannah's accomplice in the past, he would definitely not agree to help her.
Hence, she did not dare to stay any longer and turned around to leave.
After getting into her car, she thought for a moment before she called Savannah.
Savannah quickly picked up her call and greeted her warmly. "Raelyn, why are you calling me?"
"I have something to talk to you about... Did you do something to Natalie?"
"No! I would never!" She still denied it.
Raelyn became impatient. "Don't fool me. Aren't we friends? Listen, Natalie's death has nothing to do with me, but I just wanted to tell you to clean up your mess. Otherwise, you know how Archer is!"
Savannah became silent all of a sudden.
Raelyn sneered and said, "By the way, can you do me a favor? Can you ask your father to change Declan's death penalty to a lighter punishment?"
Raelyn was very straightforward and she never beat around the bush.
Savannah sighed and said, "I'm afraid that would be rather difficult. I'll ask my father about it. We're best friends, Raelyn. I would always try my best to help you!"
"I know. Go talk to your father and don't forget to deal with the aftermath of the Natalie situation!"
After hanging up the phone, Savannah was furious. She thought that she had the time to execute her plans, but now it seemed that there was no time left. She couldn't afford to delay the problem with Paxton anymore.
Savannah stepped out of the room and said, "Mrs. Baker, please come up. I have something to say to you!"
Paxton was sent to the hospital to treat his head injury. He had hit his head for real, and he passed out immediately.
Although Paxton was arrogant, he was also very cautious. He was a mere servant to the Dawson family. There was no way he could compare to Declan. The police who interrogated him said that Declan, Miss Saunders' uncle, was arrested as well. What would become of him then?
These words reminded him that he had been detained for more than ten hours. It was impossible for
Savannah to have no idea about it. Since she did not come to his rescue , he deduced that her hands were tied in this situation.
At the police station, he suffered because he refused to confess and both of his arms were broken. The pain made him realize that he couldn't continue staying silent anymore.
He could only live if he were cruel to himself.
Therefore, he chose to hurt himself in order to live.
After being treated in the emergency room, he was pushed out and sent to the ward.
There were police officers guarding his room.
He slowly awakened after lying on the bed for a while, but he continued to feign unconsciousness with his eyes closed.
He thought to himself that if Savannah wanted to save him, she would definitely send someone to him. Thus, he needed to communicate with them once they arrived.
As he thought about it, a familiar voice came from outside, "Officer, can I visit my brother?"
Had Dixie come to see him? He was delighted. His sister was Savannah's favorite maid. If she came to see him, then it meant that Savannah had not given up on him.
He thought that she had something to say to him, so he hoped that she would make it through the guards.
However, the two policemen at the door did not let her in. Dixie begged outside for a long time, but they still did not let her pass. They said that he was a suspect and was not allowed to meet outsiders.
After pestering them for a while, she left disappointedly. Paxton was extremely irritated. Dixie was unable to see him, so what should he do now?
