Chapter 1147

Karan was taken aback when she glanced at the documents She never thought Liana would go to such lengths as checking bank records. But she quickly regained her composure, feigning ignorance as she took the documents, her face filled with surprise

“Wait, I had no clue! Why on earth would he send money to those people?”

As she scanned through the paperwork, her brow furrowed Liana sat across from her, silently observing Karan, trying to spot any unusual emotions pn her face. But Karan gave nothing away, her expression instead hinting at anger

“That scoundrel Hubert, why would he send money to the very people who’ve harmed you?”

After going through the documents, Karan was so mad she tossed them away, her body trembling with rage.

“If that dirtbag wasn’t six feet under, I’d definitely hunt him down and give him a piece of my mind. Why would he do such a thing?”

Indeed, Hubert was dead If he were still around, Liana could have directly sought Aidyn’s help to nab him. Once they had evidence, they could confront Karan, leaving her no room for excuses But with Hubert gone, Liana had no choice but to come here and try to coax the truth out of Karan

Watching the fuming Karan, Liana paused for a few seconds before saying in a nonchalant tone, “Karan, Hubert was sending money to each of those guys once they were out of jail. It suggests he was the real mastermind. Otherwise, he had no reason to send them money”

Karan’s eyes flickered, buts he pretended to be confused, ‘Wasn’t Tyler the real culprit? He confessed when we confronted him. How could it be Hubert? Maybe Hubert owed money to those people, and that’s why he sent them money after they got out. You know how desperate people can do anything. Perhaps Hubert was afraid they’d come after him, so he paid them off”

Despite Karans plausible explanation, Liana wasn’t buying it. “Those hoodlums were Tyler’s people. They were much younger than Hubert. How could Hubert possibly owe them money? And since he was afraid of being caught, he always gambled abroad. How could he have any connection with them? Besides, weren’t you and Hubert both strongly against Tyler? How could he borrow money from Tyler’s people? Those thugs didn’t have much money either. How could Hubert borrow from them?”

Karan was left speechless by Liana’s interrogation but was still defiant. “Liana, I don’t know much about Hubert’s affairs, who he was friends with, who he gambled with, who he owed money to, and how much. He never told me anything, he only asked me for money… Maybe he did have some dealings with Tyler’s people. Perhaps Tyler bribed Hubert, leading him to harm you You know Hubert had a huge gambling debt then. Since I didn’t help him pay it off, he might have turned to Tyler out of anger. It’s not impossible for them to have colluded.”

Knowing it would be tough to get the truth about Hubert’s payments from Karan, Liana changed tactics, adopting a softer approach/“Auntie, you must know about Hubert’s dealings He lived off your earnings all his life. If he was bribed by Tyler and did something harmful to me, he would certainly have told you. Tyler is gone now, and my grudge with him is over I won’t fight with you over his matters, nor blame you for concealing anything I just want to know the truth.”

Karan remained calm, scrutinizing Liana Seeing Liana’s continued respect and friendliness towards her without a trace of resentment, she was slightly moved. But she still denied it, “Liana, I really don’t know why Hubert would send money to those thugs.*

After saying this, she let out a long sigh. “He’s gone now, and no one knows why he did what he did. But I replace it hard to believe that he was the puppet master, especially since Tyler had openly admitted he was the one behind everything”

If Karan had agreed with Liana now, saying Hubert was the puppet master, Liana would have been more suspicious of her. Karan decided to pin it on Tyler instead. After all, he had once entertained that thought, even if only to intimidate. It wouldn’t hurt to use it as an excuse to shrug off responsibility now.
